Getting a bit self-referencing on your asses, would the Big Break theme song by Captain Sensible count?
The real find however will be if anyone can think of a published song (so no VB/EWQ songs allowed sadly) that actually mentions playing a quiz machine in the lyrics. I can think of two that mention Subbuteo, for example, but none that actually mention SWPs. I guess this goes to show that our little hobby isn't really perceived as a 'rock 'n' roll' activity - Ha! What do they know eh?!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!
Being an old fogey I don't know the actual song (although I do know the band - they are ALWAYS popping up on quiz machine questions
), but here are more of the lyrics:
The shutters come down
and that's what they're for
we don't want to invite in the law
It's not often the case that we're forced
to sacrifice the jukebox.
But the plug always has to be pulled
on the quiz machine
So you imbibe all you can
cos you're partaking in something forbidden
And time after time you'll wake up
face down in the latrine.
It's not exactly Bob Dylan but it'll do for now!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we don't necessarily have a winner! That's poop Satis leak. Did you play that bloke with the arrow in his shoulder in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073341/?
Surely it's http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?h ... &ct=title#?
Isn't that what it's all about anyway in the end? Even if not, there's been some better posted.

that floyd track was sampled on an old skill game called cash arena,where you had to move a magnet to pick up boxes with notes on,these machines used to get raped by pros until operators untightenned the ring round the magnet so it would'nt fit in the top of the boxes.
there was still one of these machines at the haven site ,devoncliffs exmouth last year, but alas it was more rigged than a central african election.
