‘Royals’ – Lorde
Lorde’s 2013 single “Royals” seems like it’s referring to either real-life monarchy (think the British Royal family) or American “celeb-royalty” (think the Kardashians). However, the song’s title and inspiration come from somewhere else. The lyrics were inspired by a 1976 photo of Kansas City Royals hall of fame baseball player George Brett signing autographs while wearing his team’s logo on his chest. “It was just that word,” the singer said simply. It’s fantastic.”
