Jason Jokerst, Yes it is perfect. I listen at the end for this song to play. Have to hear it. Love this movie and this song. "Checkin it up one more time for you, checkin it up until the pot hits the sky!" " All this pleasure gets me high!" Love Ed Norton & Matt Damon! Great together. Dusty the 2nd.
Couldn't agree more!!! Quite possibly the BEST Counting Crows song that you can't find anywhere (including iTunes) from arguably the best poker movie ever...and you'd be hard pressed to find a song that more fitting to a movie. This song "GETS ME HIGH"!!
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It came out a long time ago and really helped popularize holdem poker. First saw it in a movie theater in SF. I knew nothing about holden poker or the movie, just had some time to kill. What a lucky draw for me.
I'm not a card player or gambler, but this movie is just so excellent. Love Edward Norton in basically everything he's done. Great actor, and what can be said of M Damon. These 2 actors made this movie. But this song is worth watching the movie for. Most closing credits are ignored, but you will watch everyone of the closing credits just to hear this song.
I had the video back in the day, with no remote for my VCR. But I would run up to the entertainment center and rewind just to the beginning of the song, over and over. Loved it the moment I heard it right after I finished watching this fabulous movie. Oh, and I LOVE Edward Norton.
mostly these types of song play when you get everything including the Girl but here the Queen of my Heart Gretchen Mol and Matt bid farewell to each other
@@charliewerchan7252 bro if you see gretchen mol here in this movie she is the most elegant female and a little higher level for boys like that. Her scenes in the court room where Mike is late and she folds it with him just look at her she is Queen of Queens and gorgeous in the final scene.
Yes mine as well and Ed Norton. 2 great actors. Matt in Good Will Hunting is another one of my fav's of his. Fight Club for Ed Norton. I love both these actors. So many movies of theirs I love. Actually I cannot think of 1 movie either of them made that I didn't like. Lets not get started on Brad Pitt. Peace out M8.
Gonna get out on the road tonight I've got a hollow in my head Checking it up Baby, one more time for you Checking it up Until the pot hit the sky It's like I think I'm sick of cocaine But not me I feel like it's running in my veins Checking it up Baby, one more time for you Checking it up Until the pot hit the sky Even the best years Leave a lot to be desired And Then they pass you by All these seasons All this time Spinning past til they leave you Far behind Lay me down in a circle Where the spotlight shines All this pleasure gets me high Some people will cut you til you're bleeding But not me cuz I just want to do it to myself Checking it up Baby, one more time for you Checking it up Until the pot hits the sky Even the best years Are a waste of time But, Baby, I'm a big star now All these seasons, all this time, spinnin' past til they leave you far behind, lay me down in a circle where the spotlight shines, all this pleasure gets me high (Instrumental) All these seasons all this time spinnin' fast until they leave you far behind, lay me down in a circle where the spotlight shines, turn your back on the people who draw the line, put your faith in the answers that you can't find, hit the ground runnin' down that highway run, say a prayer for the ones you have left behind cus all this pleasure gets them high. I don't wanna give it back no, I don't wanna give it back no................................
"All these seasons, all this time. Spinning fast, till they leave you far behind, Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines, Turn your back on the people who draw the line, Put your faith in the answers that you can find. Hit the ground hard running down that highway line, Say a prayer for the ones you left behind, Because all this pleasure gets them high." I must have listened to this song hundreds of times bc it has always resonated with something in me...then this morning while doing cardio, I so got it. Especially this part at the end. It is just a perfectly constructed song about life in this realm. Now I love it even more, and I bet I will be listening hundreds of times more. Just perfect for this movie, and this life.
This is by far one of the best and one of my favorites of all time. Plus I love Edward Norton, my two fav lines: "Aww Mike she made off with your sheets man!" ...and "It's just like the saying man, in the poker game of life, women are the rake"😂😂👏👏👏😁👍
To clear things up - the song was written for "Rounders" and unlike "Colorblind" which was written for "Cruel Intentions" was not included on the Counting Crows album "This Desert Life" (1999). In fact back in the day apparently many Crows fans snuck tape recorders into theaters to record this song as the credits rolled which resulted in the low fidelity version. Crows eventually released the song as a b-side to "Hangin' Around" which is where the HQ version is sourced from.
Love this song. I watch the last 10 minutes of the movie just to hear it. That's about how long I can bear John Malkovich's fake Russian accent. I searched for this song, finally finding it in the soundtrack. Thanks for posting.
@@alessandrogalli1995 In the movie it was said by Worm. I know Mikey said "Where was this written?" Very great movie as it really is a life's lesson movie. BTW you were right, not Raeigh Majin Buu Ovita's comment.
@@raeighnisha428 No dude you did. You missed the part. Mikey said that back at Worm. Alessandro Galli is right. I just saw the movie again yesterday. Dusty the 2nd.
movie is a classic. Fabulous cast all of em , such chemistry! watched it first time on a long flight out of boredom and was completely drawn in that silly lil screen, up to the credit roll at the end and this SONG!! I always get back to this page to listen at least 3 times, whished i could find the song for keeps Another great movie is "House of Games" with Joe Mantegna and Lindsay Crouse in the lead. Mind you it's from '87 so it looks different, but in my opinion really worth watching especially if you're into the topic of poker and a good plot. Luv it.
"Trust Everyone........But always cut the cards!" On the Cover, not my words! I say trust no one and always cut the cards!! Mike: "Give me 3 stacks of high society" = 30,000. Greatest movie for me ever, as I love Texas Hold'em. And 5 card stud. Great set of actors in this film as well and this song nails it.
It's confusing because at first Damon talks about Hold 'em. But throughout the movie they're playing a variety of Hold 'Em, 5 card or 7 card, it's like WTH is going on?!?!? Why's that guy got so many cards?!?!? :-D
love that quote. So sorry they never made a sequel. Can you imagine if you turned the movie off before the credits played and missed this amazing song?
@@brucelevine5472 I know, if we missed the song, well that would have been way fucked up! So fitting to the movie. May have been written for this movie. IDK, just guessing as the words are spot on. Never looked it up. Someone said this song was not made til 7 or 8 yrs later. I should look it up. D2
People forget this movie kind of tanked in the theatre(I went first day it came out) and caught fire on cable especially after the poker boom in the early 2000’s
At least you can find this song somewhere…thanks to the poster and the CC’s, or whoever owns the rights, for letting it stay up after 250K views. Much love.
Well, lucky me. I have this song on my copy of Saturday nights and Sunday mornings as a bonus track. Think it's still available on Amazon UK. Maybe Adam should check it out. Love this tune.
How fuc--- up that was. Poor Mikey. But he pulled it out in the end the same way he started in the beginning with Teddy KGB. He got him back the same way Teddy got him. Fab movie. Love poker tho.
@@SarahPalinQuit I vote for Joey Knish ripping Matt Damon after he’s accused Joey of “not having the stones!”. “Stones? You little punk, I’m not playing for the thrill of victory here.I owe rent, alimony child support. I play for money!”
This song may on the soundtrack now but it was NOT originally. I had to order it from England and pay $32.00 for it, it was the last song when you watch the movie but not included on the soundtrack cd. It's one of my favorite songs, few people know it and love it as I do.
From Reddit, from the man himself: counting_crows 84 points · 5 years ago That was my fuck up. I loved the song and I wanted to keep it for THIS DESERT LIFE so I told the Rounders people they could have it for the movie but not for the soundtrack album. As a result, they never released a soundtrack album. Cut to sequencing our record and I realized it just didn't belong on THIS DESERT LIFE so I left it off and since there WAS now NO soundtrack album, it exists nowhere except on the film itself. I screwed the pooch on that one.
They say that Moneymakers win in the 2003 WSOP was the major turning point in the poker boom, then online poker but the Rounders movie was a close 3rd place.
Rounders came in 1998, Moneymaker won in 2003 like you said. I think without Rounders there wouldn't be a Moneymaker. You feel me? My opinion is that the film popularize this particular version of poker. That's why the prize pool got so large by 2003. Interest.
+LEFTaTIP The major turning point in poker was the tablecam which allowed people to see the hole cards. 2003 was the first year they had that. That's why Moneymaker's win was such a big deal. People could see the cards and follow the action.
+eddievangundy Agreed, I still think there's a poker boom even if Chris finishes runner-up to Farha, that king high bluff + Chad's sensationalizing commentary riled up the public, there was no turning back after that, and the Moneymaker bracelet just sparked the keg
Frost, Thank you for putting this up here for us! Don't know how you got it, but am so happy you did. Thanks so much I love Rounders and I love this song!!! "All this pleasure gets me high!"
If you are young (let’s say under 25 or even 30), whilst I’m in no position to give advice, I would expect you may possibly find the following poignant: Chiefly, this song is VERY deep. First you get the reality check you never knew you needed: “Even the best years leave a lot to be desired and then they pass you by” Life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Enjoy the present. Then you get some incredibly sage advice. It is hard to explain the value of this advice. Many only realise after it’s too late. “Turn your back on the people who draw the line. Put your faith in the answers that you can’t find. Hit the ground hard running down that highway line. Say a prayer for the ones you have left behind ‘cause all this pleasure gets them high.” Consider the two together. The next part may require two or three readings before it makes sense. Apologies. I’m not a wordsmith. This is the encouragement you never knew you needed because you never had the reality check you equally never knew you needed. It’s like an antidote to a poison you took, but the only time you take it is when you are also given the antidote immediately. It’s a conundrum. Are you better for having had the poison and having been cured or is ignorant bliss? Often it’s better not to overcomplicate things but equally nobody likes to feel like they were left out. Perhaps forewarned is forearmed. If you’re a young person reading this: 1) congratulations for making it this far through the comment 2) Do. Not. Waste. Your. Youth. 3) Recognise you’ll get what you’re gonna get when you’re gonna get it and just because you don’t have everything now, you MUST understand that future you (when you do have what you currently desire) will be envious of present you who possesses what money cannot buy: youth and time. I have absolutely no idea why I wrote all of this but if it lands with anybody, great. Otherwise, I welcome comments calling me a complete boomer even though I’m not that old 😂 Peace ✌️
Well…I AM a boomer and your comment has made me cry. I really can’t add anything because you’ve said it far better than I possibly could. It’s so well written…I keep reading it over and over. Let me just add this since I’m older than you…it gets easier. The memories that caused me almost crushing chest pain when facing the realization that there would never be any going back…are now pleasurable for me. I float happily and peacefully in those memories…no more agonizing over the choices I made…I just enjoy remembering them. I’m not sure if youth is wasted on the young. I’m not sure if I could do a better job of it if I had the chance to do it over again.
TC, yes I know, it seems alot of ppl do not even know about it. Very weird to me as well, such a killer movie! Great actors. This great song perfect! "All this pleasure gets me high" Checkin' it up baby one more time for you, checkin' it up till the pot hits the sky!"
So I turn my tv on and keep it on a low volume while I do other things away from it, just to have some sound bc it comforts me in a haunted house lmao. So I'm reading something on the internet blocking out completely whatever's on tv until I hear this song and I snap out of what I'm doing thinking "this...sounds like Counting Crows???" Although one of my favorite bands, I haven't listened to them and months and somehow have never heard this song before. Turns out it his Counting Crows tho haha, I'm glad I'm still in tune with Adam's voice. It reminded me I really need to get back into listening to them too.
Adam Duritz told Brian Koppleman during an interview that this song will eventually go on a compilation record, and that it just didn't fit the sequencing of This Desert Life and the way he laid the album concept out. Interestingly, he also said that he doesn't have a clean copy of the song himself, so a re-record might happen. Check out this interview on the Grantland podcast network, it's essential listening for any Crows fan.
That's funny, I just finished listening to that podcast--so wonderful for a Counting Crows freak like me! I came right here to find this song too, good stuff.
"it's essential listening for any Crows fan" - so is THIS song! HUGE Counting Crows fan so my ears perked up when I was watching "Rounders"....... THAT is Counting Crows! Led me here. FANTASTIC song!
Ed Norton gives props to Counting Crows for this track, if you watch the DVD with the commentary on all the way through the credits... Actually there are two different commentaries: one with a bunch of pro poker players talking some awesome shit the whole time, and the other is some directorial crew with Ed Norton. That one.
Every card player's theme song. This song is like impossible to find. As many poker player's that's out there, you would think this song would be easy to find.
A few years ago, I couldn't find this song anywhere. Looked at the European release of the album "August and Everything After" and there it was. Tried to buy it on iTunes, but they made me register as a new member in the European iTunes. So I did and I ordered the album and it never came. When I called to ask why, they said they couldn't ship that album to the USA. Go figure. My son finally found it and sent me the MP3 file. Too much technology for me. I'm still balancing my tone arm.
"Checkin it up baby one more time for you, checkin it up until the pot hits the sky!" "Check Check Check all nite." Teddy KGB! Love this song and the lyrics are bad ass just as the movie is.
Hey M8's, I finally listened to this song like 50 times to get the lyrics correct. See below I edited. If I have an error let me know. Love you all that love this song and movie. It was a labor of love for you all. Hope you appreciate it. 💙
The person who chose this song for the credits must feel proud and good.
He feels fine.
I feel ahhkay
Strong enough to take on ze world.
That person is the best
Must have crocodile blood 🩸
One of the best songs they ever recorded.
Great Song and one of my favorite Movies
This song fits the tone of the movie so well. Perfect song for the end of film

The end was the best part. Really good acting by Malkovich.
@@loudorchen9897 absolutely
Without a doubt one of my favorite movies and this song was the exact song for the movie
Totally agree!
loved this needledrop in the bear
so good
Came to say it was better in Rounders, but glad to see it in the Bear!
Couldn't agree more!!! Quite possibly the BEST Counting Crows song that you can't find anywhere (including iTunes) from arguably the best poker movie ever...and you'd be hard pressed to find a song that more fitting to a movie. This song "GETS ME HIGH"!!
"Some people will cut you til your bleeding, I just want to do it to myself".
God Damn, I love that line, so profound.
So much profound dialog in this movie. I must say it's one of my fav all time movies.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It came out a long time ago and really helped popularize holdem poker. First saw it in a movie theater in SF. I knew nothing about holden poker or the movie, just had some time to kill. What a lucky draw for me.
Ken, Texas Hold'em is a big deal here in the West, been knowing that game since I was young. You see Dad played poker. Wicked game man!!
nothing ever better ... Edward Norton the Star (by a micron) !!!

This was the end of good movies kids
unfortunately but absolutely !!!
Original comment was true 7 years ago, even more so today. Nice work!
This song sounds both classic and modern. My favorite CC song.
Love this movie - this is a great song - captures the spirit of it
Great movie. I always have it in rotation.
This song definitely fits with the movie...awesome
I live my life off the opening line of this movie... “if you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour in a room, then you are the sucker.”
Why isn’t this song on Spotify!!! It’s madness
Infuriating!
malkovich is a perfect actor
+daniwea10 Incredible here.
Matt Damon & Ed Norton did awesome as well. Love tho two dudes.
Def. the perfect Russian....great nickname also, Teddy KGB.

I just finished the movie. This was awesome. The ending scenes got me on my edge of my seat and then this song plays which was great
good movies and good songs go hand in hand
they totally do, inseparable
Nah. There are some good songs that have never been in movies. They can be separate.
Love this song ,great movie too !
Gonna get out on the road tonight
I've got a hollow in my head
Checking it up Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up Until the pot hit the sky
It's like I think I'm sick of cocaine
But not me I feel like it's running in my veins
Checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up
Until the pot hit the sky
Even the best years
Leave a lot to be desired
And Then they pass you by
All these seasons All this time Spinning past
til they leave you Far behind
Lay me down in a circle
Where the spotlight shines
All this pleasure gets me high
Some people will cut you til you're bleeding
But not me cuz I just want to do it to myself
Checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up
Until the pot hits the sky
Even the best years
Are a waste of time
But, Baby, I'm a big star now
All these seasons, all this time, spinnin' past til they leave you far behind, lay me down in a circle where the spotlight shines, all this pleasure gets me high (Instrumental)
All these seasons all this time spinnin' fast until they leave you far behind, lay me down in a circle where the spotlight shines, turn your back on the people who draw the line, put your faith in the answers that you can't find, hit the ground runnin' down that highway run, say a prayer for the ones you have left behind cus all this pleasure gets them high.

That's why Moneymaker's win was such a big deal. People could see the cards and follow the action.
+eddievangundy Agreed, I still think there's a poker boom even if Chris finishes runner-up to Farha, that king high bluff + Chad's sensationalizing commentary riled up the public, there was no turning back after that, and the Moneymaker bracelet just sparked the keg
this is Counting Crows best song
Great Movie
Frost, Thank you for putting this up here for us! Don't know how you got it, but am so happy you did. Thanks so much I love Rounders and I love this song!!! "All this pleasure gets me high!"
Still jamming this in ‘23
Very good song!
This song is finally on Spotify!
If you are young (let’s say under 25 or even 30), whilst I’m in no position to give advice, I would expect you may possibly find the following poignant:
Chiefly, this song is VERY deep.
First you get the reality check you never knew you needed:
“Even the best years leave a lot to be desired and then they pass you by”
Life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Enjoy the present.
Then you get some incredibly sage advice. It is hard to explain the value of this advice. Many only realise after it’s too late.
“Turn your back on the people who draw the line.
Put your faith in the answers that you can’t find.
Hit the ground hard running down that highway line.
Say a prayer for the ones you have left behind ‘cause all this pleasure gets them high.”
Consider the two together. The next part may require two or three readings before it makes sense. Apologies. I’m not a wordsmith.
This is the encouragement you never knew you needed because you never had the reality check you equally never knew you needed.
It’s like an antidote to a poison you took, but the only time you take it is when you are also given the antidote immediately.
It’s a conundrum. Are you better for having had the poison and having been cured or is ignorant bliss? Often it’s better not to overcomplicate things but equally nobody likes to feel like they were left out.
Perhaps forewarned is forearmed. If you’re a young person reading this:
1) congratulations for making it this far through the comment
2) Do. Not. Waste. Your. Youth.
3) Recognise you’ll get what you’re gonna get when you’re gonna get it and just because you don’t have everything now, you MUST understand that future you (when you do have what you currently desire) will be envious of present you who possesses what money cannot buy: youth and time.
I have absolutely no idea why I wrote all of this but if it lands with anybody, great. Otherwise, I welcome comments calling me a complete boomer even though I’m not that old 😂
Peace ✌️
Well…I AM a boomer and your comment has made me cry. I really can’t add anything because you’ve said it far better than I possibly could. It’s so well written…I keep reading it over and over. Let me just add this since I’m older than you…it gets easier. The memories that caused me almost crushing chest pain when facing the realization that there would never be any going back…are now pleasurable for me. I float happily and peacefully in those memories…no more agonizing over the choices I made…I just enjoy remembering them. I’m not sure if youth is wasted on the young. I’m not sure if I could do a better job of it if I had the chance to do it over again.
Perfect song to end the movie. Weird how this isn't more popular.
TC, yes I know, it seems alot of ppl do not even know about it. Very weird to me as well, such a killer movie! Great actors. This great song perfect! "All this pleasure gets me high" Checkin' it up baby one more time for you, checkin' it up till the pot hits the sky!"
Great Song & Great Movie!
i like this movie and nice song also
I love it and it.
The tracks name is "Baby I'm a big star now" by Counting Crows. In case you wanna change the title.
Very underrated song
So I turn my tv on and keep it on a low volume while I do other things away from it, just to have some sound bc it comforts me in a haunted house lmao. So I'm reading something on the internet blocking out completely whatever's on tv until I hear this song and I snap out of what I'm doing thinking "this...sounds like Counting Crows???" Although one of my favorite bands, I haven't listened to them and months and somehow have never heard this song before. Turns out it his Counting Crows tho haha, I'm glad I'm still in tune with Adam's voice. It reminded me I really need to get back into listening to them too.
I always put this BSO when I'm working by night alone.
The best trick of the movie, was to include this song at the end. I'm sure not even Teddy KGB saw it coming.
Adam Duritz told Brian Koppleman during an interview that this song will eventually go on a compilation record, and that it just didn't fit the sequencing of This Desert Life and the way he laid the album concept out. Interestingly, he also said that he doesn't have a clean copy of the song himself, so a re-record might happen. Check out this interview on the Grantland podcast network, it's essential listening for any Crows fan.
That's funny, I just finished listening to that podcast--so wonderful for a Counting Crows freak like me! I came right here to find this song too, good stuff.
"it's essential listening for any Crows fan" - so is THIS song! HUGE Counting Crows fan so my ears perked up when I was watching "Rounders"....... THAT is Counting Crows! Led me here. FANTASTIC song!
Never was a huge fan but love this song. Surprised it isn’t in their setlist on their tour with Santana
♫♥♫ Great movie and song ♫♥♫
thanks for upload; i remember the only post of this song was a girl praticing her pole dancing
Domenic Cuppari I remember downloading a version off Napster and it was like it came off of a VHS dubbing
Brilliant song
Amazing
Yeah this song is good I love that comment
Ed Norton gives props to Counting Crows for this track, if you watch the DVD with the commentary on all the way through the credits... Actually there are two different commentaries: one with a bunch of pro poker players talking some awesome shit the whole time, and the other is some directorial crew with Ed Norton. That one.
やっぱサイコー！！15年前だわこれ良く聞いてたの
so cool!!
Every card player's theme song. This song is like impossible to find. As many poker player's that's out there, you would think this song would be easy to find.
Great song...reat movie...hard to find in many places
Checking it up one more time , is simple Ego destroy.
A few years ago, I couldn't find this song anywhere. Looked at the European release of the album "August and Everything After" and there it was. Tried to buy it on iTunes, but they made me register as a new member in the European iTunes. So I did and I ordered the album and it never came. When I called to ask why, they said they couldn't ship that album to the USA. Go figure. My son finally found it and sent me the MP3 file. Too much technology for me. I'm still balancing my tone arm.
"Checkin it up baby one more time for you, checkin it up until the pot hits the sky!" "Check Check Check all nite." Teddy KGB! Love this song and the lyrics are bad ass just as the movie is.
Checking it up .
Chen it up
Really great song
Their best song and can't find it anywhere but here
is on my copy. It's the last track on Sunday Mornings, might be hidden if listened to on a CD player but its on my Itunes.
Dedicated to Chad Storey: RIP 8/5/20
Loved Rounders, very epic movie :) I would have loved to have seen how Mike Mcdermmit did at the wsop, though, just my honest opinion
InflatableKMH he busted at the first hand AA vs KK
I like to think he made his million.
I think there was talk a while ago of making rounders 2
@@semcharmed I meant story wise, the character matt dmaon plays, I know he played at the wsop on year andhe bustred out with that hand
Vont a cookie?
Liz Webb I laughed so fucking hard at this
"I guess you're not hungry"! When Teddy (KGB) throws the Oreos at the wall next to grama.
Hey M8's, I finally listened to this song like 50 times to get the lyrics correct. See below I edited. If I have an error let me know. Love you all that love this song and movie. It was a labor of love for you all. Hope you appreciate it. 💙
