<p>Still wish for more of the later Hip catalog to become karaoke tracks but you can't beat the nostalgia of the earlier hits. I'd normally put in some of my favourite lyrics here in my song description, but I thought I'd add context for this song instead (from the Lyrics Genius website):</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Wheat Kings" tells the story of one of Canada’s darkest moments in its history, as 17 year old David Milgaard was wrongly convicted of the brutal rape and murder of 21 year old Gail Miller. Through a shady conviction, Milgaard served over 23 years in prison before being released in 1992 for a re-trial. Milgaard was released in 1992 when the Supreme Court of Canada overturned his conviction. In 1997 he was fully exonerated through DNA test results.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Leave it to a band like the Hip to bring these salient <span style="color: rgba(38, 38, 40, 0.9);">Canadian s</span>tories to light.</p>
