“The Queen and I” by Gym Class Heroes
Released 2007
“The Queen and I” by Gym Class Heroes appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2006. It was first released in 2007. Its best result is #53 on the Q101 Top 101 Songs of 2006. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #324 alternative song of 2006.
"The Queen and I" led off the singles from Gym Class Heroes' third album, As Cruel as School Children (2006), and it hits the gas harder than most of the band's catalog. Under the rap-rock bounce sits a love story with a hangover: frontman Travis McCoy falling for an alcoholic, the "Queen" of the title.
Britain made it wait. Both physical formats came with a sticker, and that broke British chart regulations, so the single couldn't chart there the first time around. It got a second shot on 29 October 2007, after "Cupid's Chokehold" and "Clothes Off!!" had both gone top five. It has a life in video games too, turning up in Tony Hawk's Project 8, with an instrumental cut in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
