I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with what was intended, but the this song makes me think of the game Hearts. For those who haven't played, its a card game, in which the goal is to get as few points as possible. All of the heart cards are worth one point, and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. The one exception is if you manage to collect all of the hearts AND the queen, so that you'd get the full 26 points - then you get 0 points, and everyone else gets 26. This is called "shooting the moon," and you have to have just the right hand and the right luck to pull it off - and its always risky because if other players realize what you're doing they'll try to take one for the team, and take a point or two, so you're left with 24-25.
"Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand"
The proximity of "shoot that big bad hand" to the line about the moon just brings up that connection in my head. I can think of other ways a metaphor like this could fit; if he's shooting the moon he's collecting "hearts"; its also the only time he'd want the queen, which it occured to me could fit if she was the queen - the only time he wants her is when he's also after a lot of other people, or to win something - also the line:
"When this wild world
Is a big bad hand
Pushing on my back"
Seems like something that could fit with a playing card as well, with the back facing everyone - and hoping that he shoots the moon and takes her and wins - although it he fails, things could all fall apart.
