Don't forget John Chernoff (GargleBlaster on Chess.com)'s Chess.com song

Amazing!  (6 million?  Are you kidding me?)

I can relate to this song almost EVERY GAME I PLAY: "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones

Has anybody mentioned "Chessnuts Roasting on an Open Fire?" ("The Christmas Song")

The group "King Bishop and the Squares" put out a CD of songs about chess.  Yes, the lyrics are specifically about chess, and quite clever and funny.  The music is decent too, competently performed in a variety of styles (rock, blues, country, etc).  If you're curious, you can buy the CD or download individual songs at amazon:

Not sure if this song counts but I always thought "Fortune Faded" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers was about chess.

@SamD87

Is that Elton's song Someone save my game tonight?  

Three Dog Knight wrote Black and White Pieces of April, and decided to Celebrate by singing Joy to the World, even though Naturally it was Hard Labor.

Those were the days my friend!

YES: "Your Move" / "All Good People"

AC'/DC "Back to Black"

"White Rabbit" hasn't been mentioned?

I can't be sure.  We are limited on chess related songs, I'm guessing.

There was a Chess Records company which worked with a lot of big names.  Little offtopic I know.  I do remember a hip hop number something about "Back once again for the rebel grandmaster, d4 gambit...something"

"Shearwater" has a song called "Rooks."  

(I never heard of them until just now -- I'm Very proud I know how to Google! )
