Thank you! I know they're really pretty, you can see so many amazing cards on that website.

Nice playlist! Clearly we all have exceptional taste in music. :p

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! It's too bad that I forgot to have us all pick songs for team Joker. It slipped my mind completely, though we do have a few comedy songs for Team Spades that could be considered jokers in the deck. The song "Game of Cards" is the only one I didn't hear before, I just found that yesterday searching the term on Spotify and since it was electropop you know I couldn't resist it! What's funny is until yesterday, I never realized that everythingshiny's buy_cards' shop is named after a lyric in "The Joker."
So anyways, if you have another song about a joker or cards & jokers, if let me know & I'll add it in. I made each mix have 15 tracks by adding in a few bonus tracks, except for this one. I was burned out!

Okay, I've been thinking about this and how about these:

- Ca Plane Poi Moi by Plastic Bertrand (lyrics
--> The lyrics make zero sense, but this is more about the wild, energetic beat of the song.

- Jack of All Trades by Bruce Springsteen (lyrics)
--> Social commentary aside, a joker is a jack of all trades in a way. The joker is the card you can pull for just about any play and to replace any card. (Plus, the slower song makes a nice contrast to some of the faster, upbeat ones.)

- Wild Card by The Rippingtons (instrumental)
--> let's keep with the different genres and have an instrumental song in the mix! This one's a smooth jazz song which - let's be honest - is mostly here because Wild Card = Joker.

- Wild Card by Hunter Hayes (lyrics)
--> It's a love song, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Look at these lyrics:
And baby you're my wild card
My perfect little twist of fate
You're my first spark
Shot in the dark
Favorite part of everything

Oh you found more than one! That's good. The first one sounds like a fit for a joker/clown character. I'll add a bonus joker/wildcard tracks side with those & your name/guest dj credit just tell me what order to place them, if it matters to you that is.
