Happy Music Monday! Today we’re gonna celebrate the royalty of the world. They’ve got it hard, don’t they? Poor royalty. Will no one ever think of your sacrifices?
Thompson Twins - King For A Day
Kings are the top of the royalty heap. To be King for a day implies one could do anything one wanted! And yet, real royalty can’t just do anything they want. Because an unpopular King very quickly breeds a popular rebellion. Or, possibly, an independence referendum. But that’ll be next week.
It’s all about royals this week! See you after the jump!
Queens are a little different than kings. They’re often more loved and respected, and sometimes even adored! But make no mistake: an evil queen’s the worst thing one can possibly be. Check out any random Disney movie if you don’t believe me.
This is the first position that a normal guy might be able to get. You can’t become a King without powerful friends and a lot of fighting, but if you do something cool, you might end up becoming a Duke! The secret is showing up at the right parties.
This is one of my favorite songs. Additionally, it’s proof that a hereditary title sometimes is all one needs in life. Imagine how things would be different if you were born knowing you’d always have a home and a steady income as long as you didn’t try to claim the crown for yourself? Such is the glory of being a minor royal.
Queen - Princes Of The Universe
Hey, a Queen song about princes? C’mon. That’s gotta count as a double.
Throw your favorite royal-themed songs into the comments! And no, you can’t just post all the Queen you posted last week. Make an effort, people! Also let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week.
