"King of Suede" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic, a parody of "King of Pain" by The Police. The lyrics are an extended advertising monologue by the owner of a clothing store that is so well-known for its suede garments that said owner is known as "the king of suede".
The sleeve for the single 45 rpm record was designed to resemble The Police's Synchronicity design, and in particular the sleeve design for the "King of Pain" single, with Yankowic resembling Sting.
