1) "Music that accomplishes the task of setting a unique mood or atmosphere is not only important, but also difficult to come by. Chris Isaak will be remembered long after his heyday has passed because of his all-time greatest hit Wicked Game. Even without the video, which was voted at one point in time as the sexiest video of all time, it sets an aura of a steamy night, a broken heart, and lots of yearning....heavy on the yearning."

But it also makes me think of a one night stand. You meet someone, and you both know your not going to fall in love just make love and thats it. but than she starts talking you guys seem to share something special and you begin to fall in love with her, well not fall in love but something is starting and than your realizing your just falling into a trap of some sort she has no wrong intentions just shes flirty. nobody loves no one is a great way to end the song, cause its very, very true." "The wicked game is the struggle to maintain your composure while falling totally in love. The game is how you're supposed to be the strong one and she just levels you with her eyes and floors you with her kiss. My wicked game is finally starting to fall in love with the one who used to love me. Timing is everything. I never dreamed that I knew someone like you bon bon. " "What it talks about is the wicked game. The wicked game is something girls to guys or sometimes guys play to girls. It is luring them into love, only to break their heart. That's why it is called the "wicked game." " "here's what this song is to me: you've been hurt before, so you're being very cautious with feelings in general. except then you meet someone, they draw you in, and even if you don't want to, you fall for them knowing the whole time that the results might be a disaster- and you fail to care, that's a wicked f****n game." "The meaning of this song....in my opinion is....he was lured in by this beautiful woman who turned his whole world upside down and realized even though he couldn't help himself he never should have fallen for her and her " wicked game". She strung him along making him believe that he is what she wanted, then she did a complete 360 and told him she did not want him...hence the line, "What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way." So she lured him in, he fell for her, and she was just stringing him along. She made him believe that she would be his everything and after being hurt he claims his last line, "nobody loves no one" meaning everyone is only out for themselves. It's not about being a couple and building together anymore, it's about what can you do for me? And once they are done getting what they want, they leave to find bigger and better things leaving you with all of this love for that person and nothing but heartache in return. And when this song was released, it was way before it's time. That is a song that should have been released for the year 2000, people are more greedier and selfish now than when this song was released!!"
