[Slings and Arrows]

According to the encylopaedia Britannica, Roi Mata's death was followed by an "elaborate ritual" of burying alive one man and one woman from each clan under his rule.

Celebrate diversity.

Roi Mata: “I yam, what I yam and that’s all that I yam.”

I’m certainly proud that none of my ancestors engaged in such brutal ritual killings when a ruler was interred. They were so much more civilized...Wait...what? Celts practiced human sacrifice and buried slaves alive with their dead kings?

Never mind!

His subjects just loved him to death.

RABID ROI
Tune: "Rapid Roy"

Rabid Roi
That graveyard boy
He too much for one grief
You know they gotta get an extra stack of islanders
Piled up with their buried chief
They get a couple from each clan on Efate
From Lelepa and down Artok way
So that Roi can always be a happy dirt-packed chieftain
With some graves to govern every day
