I'm a King Bee

"I'm a King Bee", written by Slim Harpo, is known as an early important cover/track of The Rolling Stone's debut album "The Rolling Stones".

A "king bee" is defined as a self-important person, hence the king bee appears to be gargantuan in contrast to the insignificant presence of the queen bee.

The sting aligns with the centre of the iconic lips and tongue logo, created by the mandibles, and thereby refers to the controversial nature of some of the bands songs.

This was inspired by the Vietnamese proverb: "The human tongue is more poisonous than a bee's sting."
