“King of the Ostrich Bar” is a blues-inspired satire set in the Synth City cinematic universe. The song tells the story of Rory — a midwit politician who spends more time holding court in a smoky dive bar than doing any meaningful work. Known for backing fashionable causes without ever looking into the details, Rory is portrayed here as a comic figure: a self-declared king ruling over cheap cocktails, neon lights, and late-night debates that echo the energy of a sixth-form debating society.
