I can realistically see a day when poker gets too big and jumps the shark - that day will be when poker players begin acting like professional wrestlers. Intro music before tourneys, trash talking interviews, you could have tag team bounty hunters, etc. etc. Probably would be a huge marketing idea for those not interested in poker but just drama....

Anyway, the question then is:

Let's say you've made it to the final table at big tourney (on TV and stuff), and they did allow intro music, what song would you approach the table to???

I think right now, mine would be DMX - "What's my name?". Mike Tyson used to enter the ring with this song when he was a bad ass, and the first line "Do you think this is a game? DO YOU THINK THIS IS A F'ING GAME?!"

One more thing, if you happen to be watching the WSOP on ESPN and I make the final table, I will attempt to have intro music.

Oh.. there are certainly examples out there. And that makes my choice of songs all the more poignant.
