This
week's track will delight the hearts of the lovers of American
Country Music.
The
song, "King of the Road" was written and performed by
country singer Roger Miller ( 1936-1992) in 1964. The lyrics narrate
the day-to-day life of a vagabond,who despite being poor describs
himself humorously as the "king of the road". The single
hit No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 1 on their Country and
Easy Listening surveys. It was also No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart,
and in Norway. The song has been re-recorded by many other singers
including Dean Martin and has been used in many Hollywood feature
films including recent Brokeback Mountain.
Enjoy!
