What are your favorite songs about Kings, etc?

Two of mine.

Petty / Heartbreakers - It's good to be King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aogOR8c8Q4&list=RD6aogOR8c8Q4&start_radio=1

Radiohead - How do you (Apparently about a king over there :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fTkstnw_5A&list=RD8fTkstnw_5A&start_radio=1

Yeah! The Motorhead cover is good as well, though a real oddity.

Viva La Vida by Coldplay

“Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?”
