On that note ^ add Nelly's Must be the Money - he mentions "I'll be on the next flight [...] sitting next to Vanna White".

Billy Joel's "we didnt start the fire" mentions Wheel of Fortune.

Weird Al also had "Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White", which I don't believe mentions Wheel by title, but does have the line, "Vanna, can I buy a vowel from you?". Wheel and Jeopardy! also get a shoutout in his song "Syndicated Inc.", and The Newlywed Game is mentioned in his song about "The Brady Bunch". And then there's "CNR", which is about - you guessed it - Charles Nelson Reilly. "Every day he made the host of Match Game give him a piggy back ride - a two-hour piggy ride! Giddyup Gene!"
There's also "Game Show Love" by Ray Stevens which has too many references to mention. And then there's some rap lyrics:
Nas mentions Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? by title in "Oochie Wally". Kanye West also references it in "Through The Wire", where he says he's "tryin' to be a millionaire - how'd I use two lifelines?".
RZA of Wu-Tang Clan says he's "causin' more Family Feuds than Richard Dawson!" in "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothin' To ___ With"
Dr. Dre's The Chronic has a skit called "The $20 Sack Pyramid" - you can guess what it's parodying.

To be really vague
King of the road.
King of the road
I might be hated forever. Just has the title of a game show in it.

There was a song titled "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" by Frank Sinatra, if I recall.
Ace of Base had a song called "Wheel of Fortune" - didn't make the top 40 in the U.S.
Gino Vannelli, a Canadian singer very much unknown to the U.S. (though he had at least two top 40 hits in the U.S.), had a song called "The Joker's Wild".

Even though it has nothing to do with Let's Make A Deal this song should've been the theme song of Let's Make A Deal and I found it in my box of music today. In 1985 country singer Reba McEntire had a song called Have I Got A Deal For You that was a really cute song and every time I hear it I think the lyrics could easily relate to Let's Make A Deal because it's such a fun song. Has anyone heard this song?,

The last US top 40 hit by Talking Heads - "Wild Wild Life", from late 1986 - mentions Hot Potato.
"I'm wearin' fur pajamas, I ride a hot potato"

In 1985 at the time of Press Your Luck's popularity and success popular new wave/rock band The B-52's had an album called {Shockingly but surprising interesting} Whammy that was a huge success but one of the most underrated albums of The B-52's in history and also a song called Whammy was released as a single from The B-52's Whammy album as well. Guess The B-52's were Press Your Luck fans themselves when the album came out,

In 2003 singer Crystal Waters {Best known for the hit Gypsy Woman in 1991} had a song called Come On Down which samples the theme of The Price Is Right and it's a really cool song,

Here's two songs that feature game shows that I discovered in my box of CD's while listening to music today,
In 1993 British one hit wonder rap star Monie Love had a song called Wheel Of Fortune that appeared on her 1993 album In A World Or 2 that also mentions Love Connection in the lyrics too,
And the second game show song I found is a song by a group named Jack And Jemma called I Want To Be A Millionaire that's all about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,

With all that mention of "I Lost on Jeopardy", you guys forgot the obvious choice, "Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band, which Weird Al was parodying...

Hey, Mandy, does "Square Biz" by Tina Marie count, as it was later used as the theme to Hollywood Squares after Whoopi Goldberg left?
