- King for a Day är en låt av den brittiska gruppen Thompson Twins från albumet Here's to Future Days. Den finns i två versioner och ytterligare flera remixversioner. Den engelska singelversionen har något annorlunda text och ett synthbaserat sound medan albumversionen och amerikanska singelversionen har ett mer gitarrorienterat sound. Singeln nådde som bäst 22:a plats på den brittiska singellistan, men blev mer framgångsrik i USA med 8:e plats på Billboard Hot 100. I Sverige låg den fyra veckor på Sverigetopplistan med som bäst 10:e plats i november 1985. (sv)

It was a success on the Swedish Trackslistan, occupying the number one spot for four consecutive weeks in November 1985, during a seven week chart stay. The B-side, "Rollunder", was exclusive to this single with two versions; a shorter 7" version and an extended version. It is a variation of the band's song "Roll Over", which was planned for release as a single earlier in 1985, but withdrawn from sale at the last moment. (en)
