"King" is the fourteenth and final track off of "The Red Album (Deluxe Edition)".

In the liner notes for the deluxe edition of The Red Album, Rivers states that "King" was originally abandoned by the band during the album's demo sessions, and that it was Scott who rescued it fromt he brink. He apparently called Rivers up one night, and essentially demanded they record it because it was his favorite track from the Deliverance at Hand! demos. Rivers responded, saying (perhaps jokingly) that if he [Scott] wanted the song so bad he should sing it because [Rivers] didn't want to.
