King / Food for Thought is the debut single by British reggae band UB40. It was released as a double A-side in early 1980 and reached number four on the UK Singles Chart and number one in New Zealand. According to Robin Campbell, the lyrics of "Food for Thought" relate to "the hypocrisy of Christmas, the fact that there are starving people in Africa and here we are all sat around eating our Christmas dinner and praising the Lord". Campbell regards the song as a Christmas song.
