Inspired by the track 'Caesars Palace' (sic.) on the Carbon/Silicon album 'The Last Post', are there any other song titles with the same name as SWP games, I wonder? A few come to mind immediately:

'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' by Cole Porter
'Word Up' by Cameo
'Every Loser Wins' by Nick Berry

Of course there is also the typical barman/machine operator response of 'I owe you nothing' (Bros) when trying to collect IOUs, but that is another matter altogether..

Did I ever post my Word Up-themed Christmas song? That would fit the bill, presumably.

It has me going all Mariah (s)Carey at the end.
