Songs About Chess

Well, if we're going There ....

Starry, Starry Knight;  The Knight They Invented Champagne;  Knight and Day;  Summer Knights; In the Still of the Knight; Darker Eyes than Knight -- those just off the top of my head (not even Googling... )

She's just a sharp cookie (who also bakes)!  How about Knights in White Satin?

I had a few articles on music and chess a few years ago

Killer Queen? I love that song! She's a killer queeeeeen, gunpowder, gelatine, dynamite, with a laser beam...

Although if you pass the awesome music and analyze the lyrics, you can see what the song is referencing :O

Who's heard Bohemian Rhapsody? Or, better put, who hasn't heard Bohemian Rhapsody?

A great tribute to Freddy.

Wow. Very touching. Freddie and Queen's heyday were well before my time, but it still tightens my throat hearing about what happened to him. Although, I'm sure he would have preferred us to remember his work when alive. He certainly did not look so alive in These Are The Days Of Our Lives...

It's exactly that -- adorable!  Made me smile ...

Hilltop Hoods, Cosby Sweater has reference to Bobby Fischer and Bezerk by eminem has a small reference to chess

Lyrics include “I feel like Bobby Fisher always 4 moves ahead”.

I can't stop listening to that song...it's so catchy O_o

I didn't read through all these posts, but two songs that come to mind, possibly already mentioned, are:

"Your Move" (Yes) - "make the white queen run so fast"

"White Rabbit" (Jefferson Airplane) - "the white knight is talking backwards"

Dreaming of 4000 - Elo

"If I Were King of the Forest.!" -- Cowardly Lion, (on the "Emerald City" Label)
