All the King's Men! is a band consisting of The Poopsmith (vocals), The Blacksmith (drums), The Hornblower (saxophone), and The Knight (upright bass). Ironically, the lead "vocalist" is a character that is known for never speaking or making a sound.

They wear snappy blue tuxedo jackets and play Senior (and possibly Senor) Proms throughout Free Country, USA. At a glance, they're based on Marvin Berry & The Starlighters from Back to the Future I and II.

The band's name is a reference to the line in the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty; "All the king's horses and all the king's men," and also to the band The Kingsmen, known for their hit Louie Louie. All the members of the band work for The King of Town, but despite claiming to be "All the King's Men", The Little Chef Guy and The Bishop are absent.

Trivia

  • The Blacksmith appears to be left handed, since the snare drum is on the right hand side of the drum set.
