Wall to wall coverage of the royals has this tune playing in my head this morning:

George Kooymans never gets mentioned as one of the great 70s guitarists, but the man was a beast.

 

[SCNCHuskie]

Poor man wanna be rich.
Rich man wannabe KING
The KING ain’t satisfied till he rules everything.

 

[Dove]

Turn it up!!!

 

[Dove]

 

[SCNCHuskie]

Quite possibly not the best song in his catalog. But, it is about a queen (of the supermarket).

Note: The song, “Stand on It,” talks about Queen Isabella.

Rush - A Farewell To Kings

 

[imno1]

 

[8893]

Poor man wanna be rich.
Rich man wannabe KING
The KING ain’t satisfied till he rules everything.

Nice. This also reminded me of one of my favorite Dylan tunes, with one of my favorite lines of all time:

They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

As a bonus, it also has

In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear
It’s done with a flick of the wrist
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

 

[CL82]

We’re doing this on the men’s board now? OK, I’m in.

 

[8893]

 

[8893]

For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all, Sir Duke

 

[8893]

This is well worth the watch and listen. This man is a treasure:

[Jay-Bone]

Lon Chaney walkin with the Queen, doin the werewolves of London
Lon Chaney Jr walkin with the Queen, doin the werewolves of London.

 

[Jay-Bone]

From kings come queens and from queens come kings, I'm raising hell like a school kid when the class bell rings.
