Quote: AyecarumbaThe commercial teasing the opening of the Bellgio features the early version of "Con te Patrio" Andrea Bocelli recorded solo in italian. He would later record the duet with Sara Brightman with the English lyric/title "Time to Say Goodbye" that became an international hit. It is this version that is still in the rotation of songs in the fountain show at the hotel today. (Well, maybe not today as the holiday song rotation will run through New Years)
Geez, even with it spelled out for me I don't recognize it. The last Vegas casino commercials I can remember were all those hip/chic ones for the Cosmopolitan. Hmm... A thread on old Vegas commercials would be fun.

There are actually two (slightly) different versions of that song
...because there are two almost entirely different versions of the musical.
The original deals with a chess champion loosely based on Bobby Fischer playing a Soviet very loosely based on Anatoly Karpov. In Act One, the match is in Italy, which the American ends up losing. Act Two has the now-champion Soviet playing another Soviet, loosely based on Viktor Korchnoi, in Manila, which I assume is a reference to the first real Karpov-Korchnoi match being played in the Philippines. The American is a commentator of some sort in the second match, which is why the line "I'm only watching the game, controlling it" is there.
The second has the same Fischer and Karpov characters, but starts in Bangkok (so the "watching/controlling" line is missing; also, the first version had the lines:
Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change - don't you know that when you
Play at this level, there's no ordinary venue
but since Italy is no longer part of the musical, that line was changed as well), and the second half of the match is in Budapest, which the American wins - apparently, against the wishes of Tim Rice, as the lyrics in the American version's CD say that "some lyrics were changed" without his involvement.

"Mr. Sandman" was recorded in 1954 by both The Chordettes and The Four Aces—but the lyrics in the version by The Chordettes includes: "Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci, and lots of wavy hair like Liberace."
(If only they knew.)
The Four Aces version was used in "Back to the Future," but of course doesn't use those lyrics coming from a 1955 male perspective.
Here's the version with the Pagliacci/Liberace rhyme:
As I mentioned, this song has been recorded dozens of times. Bette Midler recorded the song for her 2014 album It's the Girls!

Yes. I was going to categorize it as "Theatrical Pop" but saw that it was originally a concept album that then got turned into a musical. If, like me, you're only familiar with the song from its single and music video, the lyrics are somewhat confusing in places since they reference events from Act I of the play (original version) and the piece is sung in Act II.

We need some ice and some extension cords
A can of bean dip and some Diet right
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say cheese...

And now, in the category "Modern Art Pop", name that song...
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
Quote: GialmereQuote: FaceAnd now I'm thinking of The Great Outdoors with John Candy
Ding! Ding! Ding!!!LOL! Now there's an oblique way to the answer. "Yakity Yak" by The Coasters is a song that definitely knows who its target demo of record buyers is.

Still in play...Quote: JoemanBack to "Gambling":
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a danceQuote: MoscaThis one should be easy, but who knows. The missing last line is the title.
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin' champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him
Until he sang Feliz Navidad
Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife, Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stereo plays
Noel, Noel, the First Noel
Carve the turkey, turn the ballgame on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik Pak store
We need some ice and some extension cords
A can of bean dip and some Diet right
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say cheese...

And now, in the category "Muder Ballad", name that song...
Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be...
Quote: GialmereQuote: MoscraThat’s “Royals”
Ding! Ding! Correct!!You might recall that this song was (jokingly) banned by radio stations in San Francisco during the 2014 World Series between the Giants and the Royals.

I’m going to let someone else answer. But I can see the sharkskin suit and the fingers snapping, in my mind’s eye.
