Badder than old King John

The story:

I always thought that he was singing about bad old King John (You know, the bad king that caused so much grief to his subjects that they made him sign the Magna Carta).

I was driving in my car one day, listening to the radio, and I happened to be paying more attention than normal to the lyrics. It was then that I realized that he might actually be saying "King Kong".

King Kong was just a misunderstood giant ape, while King John caused much pain and suffering to all of his subjects. I think that my version is better!
