This is really a stretch, but if you're defining them that loosely, here's a reference. The Triosphere song "Driven" has a line
"Driven to take it all", which as you know, Take It All was a game show starring Howie Mandel.

I'm not looking about just songs about game shows. Don't worry. As long as there's a game show mentioned in the song. Either loosely or directly.

Here's two more songs that mention game shows in the lyrics,
In 1999 LeAnn Rimes had a song named Big Deal {Which also was the name of the short-lived FOX show in 1996} that became one of Leann's greatest hits. Also from Mary J. Blige's 2005 album The Breakthrough she sang a song called Baggage that was a top hit for Mary J Blige,

I'm surprised I didn't think of this sooner because this is actually one of my favorite songs, but George Benson's "Give Me The Night" features the following...
"It's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air / And lots of loving everywhere
So give me the night
Give me the night"

Has anybody mentioned "Chain Reaction" by Journey, Diana Ross, and the UK pop group Steps?

Kid Rock's Cowboy has this line:
"And if the price is right, then I'm gonna make my bid boy"
Why didn't I think of this one before? I didn't realize it.

The Celine Dion song Immortality mentions the game show The Joker's Wild and is featured on her Let's Talk About Love cd from 1998,
And the soundtrack of the classic movie Midnight Express features a instrumental song named {Surprisingly} The Chase,

There's also a TPIR sighting in Aldo Nova's 1982 hit "Fantasy". Not a reference to THAT TPIR, though.

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,
Kelsey was released in 1983 prior to PYL, unfortunately. |

Here's two more songs that mention game shows in the lyrics which I found in my box of music today,
1. In 1990 Disney teen group The Party had a song called Rodeo which mentions these lyrics in the intro of the song,
"My Name Is Chase on the dance floor" Pretty awesome and clever lyrics indeed,
2. In 1999 singer Lisa Stansfield released a song that was a mega hit in the UK named The Line {Which also is the name of GSN's newest upcoming show}

The whole video of Don't Phunk With My Heart (Black Eyed Peas) looks like a game show.
Even has the Price is Right font for the title. And a date wheel like the Showcase Showdown.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned this on here yet,
The song Disco Inferno mentions the game show Chain Reaction in the lyrics of the song and is featured in Saturday Night Fever
