Buckingham Blues is an original song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The lyrics describe the lives of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales in the early 1980s.
[edit] Controversy
Buckingham Blues was originally written as a parody of "Jack and Diane" by John Mellencamp. Apparently Mellencamp was fine with the idea of a parody but upon hearing there was going to be a movie based on the song Yankovic changed the song to be an original to avoid legal trouble. (The movie, however, never got off the ground.)
