royal and loyal to the cause welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Kings of Leon songs for this list we’ve
chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most commercially successful
songs
number ten radioactive
channeling their southern roots
Kings of Leon produced an existential
lead single in support of their fifth
studio album
while the music video didn’t necessarily
stun critics the song itself earned the
band two Grammy nominations and found
its way into another pop culture
phenomenon Richard Linklater’s 2014 film
boyhood
written by the tree will follow well
brothers and cousin Matt radioactive
offers a healthy dose of down-home rock
with an electric sense of urgency that
reintroduced the band to the Billboard
charts
number nine tranny Betty secret cow
believe it or not this early Kings of
Leon release is often misinterpreted due
to its unique title and while the true
meaning is still up in the air many
believe the titular tranny to be a
transistor radio
given the whaling and sometimes
incomprehensible vocals of Caleb
Followill it’s not difficult to envision
the hectic sounds of a tranny on a 10
while the song was never released as a
single it’s a deep cut that fans just
can’t get enough of and is electrifying
to see them play live
number eight tapir gene girl
shit
a little more cryptic than most Kings of
Leon tracks this gritty production
boasts a raw musical vibe reflective of
one-night stands that just may provide a
little sexual healing while thoroughly
breaking your heart
for the slow build-up the band captures
the feeling of a sexual release or
perhaps a despair of a failed romance
it’s the
whatever the case tapir gene girl holds
a special significance for the band as
the lyrics were adopted for the album’s
title and the song was even used in a
few movies now the others job you can
afford to call her
number seven king of the rodeo
the lead-in to our last entry this
tracks beats things up and add some
killer guitar to the mix
the music video inspired by the band’s
country roots Kings of Leon finds more
musical inspiration from bands like The
Black Keys and The Strokes
filthy and just plain fantastic king of
the rodeo exemplifies the raw intensity
of a modern rock sound charting in the
UK
it’s punchy it’s fun and it will get you
rockin out on the dance floor in no time
number six use somebody for their fourth
studio album Kings of Leon took a more
commercial approach with this alt rock
ballad of self-awareness and
debilitating insecurity
in other words the lyrics of Use
Somebody highlight a creative soil that
simply can’t share his or her artistic
endeavors with just anyone
it must be somebody that takes pleasure
in the same type of beautiful war
if Kings of Leon were vaguely in the
minds of music fans before this release
they became a staple of pop culture due
to the insane popularity of Use Somebody
which earned the band three Grammy
Awards
you
number-5 fans an ode to the band’s loyal
fans most notably those of the united
kingdom this laid-back composition
arrived just when the Kings of Leon were
about to explode
touching on blue-collar themes and
Rockstar stylings the scratchy voice of
Caleb Followill howls away until the
final nod to the British bands who by
this time had paid more attention to the
band’s artistry than their American
counterparts perhaps it was because of
the times but nevertheless fans marked a
transitional phase for the group
number four closer with the opening
instrumental setting a stage of paranoia
Kings of Leon embarked on an existential
quest with this visceral gems
kicking off an album loaded with
commercial hits it was closer that
produce I have not have tone through
timeless lyrics focusing on the concept
of being completely lost in love
Oh
when Caleb Followill references a 2000
year journey you can feel his pain and
how an unknown lady shimmy shook his
boat
lyrically and musically it’s one of the
band’s finest tracks as it will haunt
your soul and rattle your mind
number three sex on fire arguably the
most identifiable Kings of Leon single
the collective artistry of this track is
often overlooked due to its massive
success
with knockin boots as the central theme
sex on fire can be interpreted in a
variety of ways however it’s perfectly
acceptable to view the song as a literal
celebration of intercourse
I could just taste it
whether it be public outdoors or just
your classic backseat special after all
it’s not forever it’s just for tonight
and the song brilliantly expresses the
utter excitement of losing yourself in
that moment of pleasure
as one of the most acclaimed singles of
modern times sex on fire uses pure rock
and roll
you
number two knocked up
through seven minutes of ecstasy for
renegade lovers this epic strips away
the pleasantries of love by focusing on
the feeling of having nowhere to go
even so this sense of the unknown
typically fuels turbulent relationships
whether it’s one for the ages or one for
the tabloids at the heart of the matter
however is a new life a baby and when
such a special moment arrives nothing
will ever be the same even if it’s the
greatest gift of all it knocked up Kings
of Leon celebrate life in a most
unorthodox way yet they still managed to
deliver an important message
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions
I’ll be that way
she got out
ah
Oh
shit
number one the bucket out
you’ll be
revenge forever connected by blood and
family bonds there’s nothing more
important than taking care of your own
and the bucket serves as the senior
Kings of Leon’s light-hearted approach
to protecting their young bassist Jared
Followill who was only a teenager when
he joined the band
with a lyrical jab sprinkled throughout
the bucket is bookended by a touching
message surely a crucial component of
the band’s formative years and certainly
a musical document representative of
their enduring success
