No More Kings are a band I just discovered this past week while listening to the latest edition of the Relevant Podcast. I don’t listen to many podcasts but the guys over at Relevant Magazine manage to put out a thoroughly entertaining edition every week. You should also check out the magazine it covers God, life and progressive culture. What more could you want? Again that’s Relevant Magazine. (They really should be paying me for this.) No More Kings were on the podcast playing a live acoustic set which included this song. As you can surmise from the title, it’s about The Karate Kid, which is awesome. I’m a sucker for pop culture references and No More Kings is all about that. While I haven’t heard the rest of their music, I can say that this song is very catchy and extremely clever. But the song itself is only part of the “Sweep the Leg” experience. To get the full effect, you must check out the video. The writer and director of the video, (which is really almost a short film) is none other than Billy Zabka who portrayed Daniel’s nemesis Johnny Lawrence in The Karate Kid. I could go into the synopsis but it’s better if you just click here and watch it. And yes that is Dennis Haskins aka Mr. Belding from Saved By the Bell making a cameo at the beginning. You can download the episode of the Relevant Podcast featuring No More Kings here. And you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes here. No More Kings - "Sweep the Leg"
