I need your help.

I have to put together 12 songs with a "King" theme. Can you think of any songs (that don't completely suck) that have King several times in the lyrics or in the song title?

Thanks in advance

King of Wishful Thinking possibly by Steve Winwood. I think it stinks but my sister loves it.

I think Sting has one called King of Pain.

That's all that jumps to mind at the moment.

Or you could try using artists such as BB King and Elvis-The King.

I Just Can't Wait To Be King - from the Lion King?
From a Jack to a King - old country song - Ned Miller
Rain King - Counting Crows
Love is King - Sade

King of Wishful Thinking is Go West, I think....

Abba had a song called "King Kong Song" (I think)

Bon Jovi did a song called "King of the Mountain"

Eagles had a song on one of their albums called "The King of Hollywood" (or something like that - I know the word KING was in the title)

Pink Floyd did an R&B song once about a "king bee", but I don't know if that's the title of the song or was just in the lyrics

In Bruce Springsteen's " Badlands" there is a great line:
"Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
King ain't satisfied till he rules everything"

Zor and Zam By the Monkees...

It starts off-"The king of Zor, he called for a war and the king of Zam, he answered" About 2 kings waging war any no one shows up to the battlefield.

I may be the RashoFan...but I am an even biggie fan of the Monkees...
