I cannot help but notice that Mr. Napoleon here wishes to be termed "Napoleon the 4th". Technically, this is historically accurate. However, the listing here is for Napoleon the 14th. I'm aware of his one song, though I've never heard it.

If he really thinks he is (or was) Napoleon the 14th, I'd sure like to know what happened to Napoleon's the 4th through the 13th.

I can help you, Cheesecrop.

Napoleon IV: died in a bizarre gardening accident
Napoleon V: choked on (someone else's) vomit
Napoleon VI: spontaneously combusted on stage
Napoleon VII: played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded pistol
Napoleon VIII: choked on (someone else's) ham sandwich
Napoleon IX: came down with gigantism after drinking too much nerve tonic
Napoleon X: arrested by Fashion Police for wearing white after Labor Day
Napoleon XI: Bit the head off a bat...that was afflicted with ebola
Napoleon XII: Tossed into wood chipper by upper-Midwestern criminal
Napoleon XIII: Sharknado

Mystery solved.

I've just seen this for the first time - tremendous!

I caught someone else's comment about a discussion going on about Napoleon XIV, though I can't find anything here. Is this actually serious?!

I'll just honor this w/a quote from the immortal Kelly Bundy, upon receiving her first CD player, and her first CD to play (Herman's Hermits):

"I'm Henry the V-I-I-I I am."
