acoustic cover - king without a crown

For me, this song will always be the Pittsburgh Steelers' theme song.  I remember this day, a few years back, during a lackluster season, when the Steelers absolutely had to win to get a wild card spot in the playoffs, and went on to win seven or eight games in a row (including the Super Bowl).  But it all had to start with that one game, and when the Steelers finally pulled it off, the radio guy on the X was ecstatic and played this song in celebration.

So, when I hear it, I always think back to that day.  Throw in the fact that it has ridiculously complicated vocals and a Jewish band playing reggae, and I think it's no surprise that I'd love this song and want to cover it.  Love Matisyahu.
