"Sun King," is one of the lesser known Beatles songs. On one of the most famous Beatles albums, Abbey Road, it gets lost in the mix of other incredible songs, such as "Come Together," "Here Comes the Sun," and "Something." But "Sun King" should be more celebrated than it is. The only song in which The Beatles speak Spanish in, it has a calm, yet driving bass line topped with lethargic vocals, a quiet guitar riff, and chirping crickets. It isn't quite as revolutionary as some of the other songs I've talked about, like "Because," but it still should merit more attention than it does. Plus, who doesn't want to hear John and Paul sing, "Quando para mucho me amores...?"
