Lo chiamavano king
Luis Bacalov Edda Orso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He had a horse
Along the countryside
I saw him ride
He had a gun
I knew him well
Oh, I heard him singing
I knew he loved someone
His name was King (His name was King)
He had a brother (He had a Brother)
His only brother
A peaceful guy
One day they found him
His shirt was red
Two shiny bullets
They found his brother dead
You can't see King
Whoa, he's riding
You can't see King
That man is searching
Got to fight his anger
Find in his eyes
Sure to find that killer
Looking for the man
His name was King (His name was King)
He had a horse (He had a brother)
Along the countryside
I saw him ride
He had a gun
I knew him well
And when he shot
Oh that man, he never missed
Ride on King, ride
You get your man
The lyrics of "Lo Chiamavano King" by Luis Bacalov Edda Orso tell the story of a man known as "King", who had a horse and a gun. The singer describes seeing him ride along the countryside and hearing him sing. It's clear that King is a skilled marksman, as the singer notes that when he shoots, he never misses. King also had a brother who was a peaceful man, but his life was cut short when he was shot dead. King is now on a mission to seek revenge and find the killer.
The song's main theme is revenge and the pain caused by the loss of a loved one. The lyrics are simple but powerful, evoking a sense of sadness and determination. The melody adds to the melancholic tone of the song, with haunting vocals by Edda Orso. The song was written for the 1971 Italian Spaghetti Western film "They Call Me Trinity", starring Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer. It was composed by Luis Bacalov, who is known for his work in film scores, and won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for the 1994 film "Il Postino".

I absolutely fell in love with the character of King Schulz. He is the sort of guy who could have had his own movies. Part 1,2, 3 and so on. Plus with a bounty hunter in the times of the civil war you could come up with infinite stories. I would never have enough of Dr. Schulz. What a guy!!
@Snotlingfondler
Django is set before the civil war abs he obviously dies in the film so he wouldn't be around during the civil war
@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194
@Snotlingfondler Django could be in the movie then both are great characters imo
@Joetino
Tarantino casually makes the most badass characters imaginable (Mr. White, Schultz, Warren, etc.)
@mrrgrrgrrcinematicuniverse5522
yeah sorry he doesn't survive to the civil war
@mrrgrrgrrcinematicuniverse5522
as badass as it would be for King Schultz to gun down confederates. Maybe he took part in the fighting in Bleeding Kansas and killed the pre-war confederates there? His backstory is such a mystery you can just fill in the gaps yourself
@Dolan1337
Django had the best soundtrack
@AnakinSkywakka
And Red Dead Revolver!
@idowiseman3207
And Inglorious Basterds!
