Request Line: You Have Selected Regicide…

Originally this was going to be hosted by Prince Amakamura, but given the news regarding Prince the musician I’m not exactly in the mood to make jokes (except for the title, of course, which I’m not changing). So let’s keep this one simple and post some our favorite music about royalty – and don’t be shy about posting songs by the one and only Prince himself.  Rest In Peace, your majesty.

I associate Prince with Kendall, a guy who lived in my suite during junior year at college. He loved Prince, he also had a hot girlfriend.

They would get down almost every morning around 5 am. It was a most effective alarm clock.

Finally, one night when I was kind of hammered up, I said, “What’s the deal? 5 in the morning?”

“It’s when I get my best hard on of the day. Don’t want to waste it.”

Tough to argue that one.

Kendall soundz like he had his priorities right.

I would have had this up sooner but I was looking for the douchiest picture. I just couldn’t decide, but this a “Yah better ask somebodayyy!” quality to it.
