Buckingham Blues is an original song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The lyrics describe the lives of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales in the early 1980s. It was originally going to be a parody of "Jack and Diane" by John Mellencamp, but upon hearing there was going to be a movie based on the song Yankovic changed the song to be an original to avoid legal trouble.
