about

I once, in a moment of unfettered sub-conscious nitwit release, told some people I was a king: specifically the King of Ba-ding. I’m not, of course. I’m not even a prince or an earl. Or a bee. Or a flea.

In any event, this energetic rock and roll ditty thumps and cracks along as the real King of Ba-ding reveals his views about how he sees his place in the world.

lyrics

Hey you! Listen good!
I’m the King of Ba-ding
And I do what I should
I rule your life
Yeah, your kids and your dog
And you and your wife

Yeah, I come from a line
I come from a line
That is simply divine
We were chose by god
We were picked by god
Do you think that’s odd?

I’m the King of Ba-ding
I’m the King of Ba-ding
And I’m doing my thing
I’m the King of Ba-ding
Yeah, I’m doing my thing
I’m just being the king

I rule this land
I rule this land
With my big sweaty hands
You pay your tax
Yeah, you pay your tax
I protect you, you relax

I’m the King of Ba-ding
I’m the King of Ba-ding
And I’m doing my thing
I’m the King of Ba-ding
Yeah, I’m doing my thing
I’m just being the king

It really ain’t hard for me to do
But this kind of thing would be
Really, really, really hard
For the likes of you
Coz you ain’t the king

It really ain’t hard for me to do...

I’m the King of Ba-ding
I’m the King of Ba-ding
And I’m doing my thing
I’m the King of Ba-ding
Yeah, I’m doing my thing
I’m just being the king

You ain’t king
You wanna disagree?
You wanna disagree?
With the king? That’s me
I’ll take off your head
If you wanna disagree
You’re gonna end up dead

Coz I’m the King of Ba-ding
I’m the King of Ba-ding
And I’m doing my thing
I’m the King of Ba-ding
Yeah, I’m doing my thing
I’m just being the king

It really ain’t hard for me to do
But this kind of thing would be
Really, really, really hard
For the likes of you
Coz you ain’t the king
You’re just a peasant
But I’m the King

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
