singing the kings" was a quote used in the new hit movie Inglorious Basterds(2009). It is unclear where the term comes from or what it means. In a stalemate that results in a sudden death gunfight a German officer and A British spy have each other trapped with their side arms pointed at one another under the table. The British spy asks the german officer "Well if this is it I hope you don't mind if I go out singing the kings" and the German officer replies that it will be fine with him then the British spy "You know there is a special place in hell reserved for people who waste perfectly good scotch. And since ill be rapping on the door soon..." The gunfight that follows ends with everyone being killed except the actress serving as a spy, but the British spy is killed after he finishes his scotch.
