This week, we're listening to songs that reference the word king. We begin with an Afro triple bill featuring the chilling Crawlin' king snake by John Lee Hooker, a prog double triple bill that of course contains House of the King by Focus, then we go pop and finish on Freddie King's glorious Going Down.
