King of My Castle

"King of My Castle" is a song by American electronic music producer Chris Brann under his Wamdue Project alias, with vocals by Gaelle Adisson. It was originally released in 1997 as a downtempo song, but became a worldwide club hit in 1999 when it was remixed by house producer Roy Malone and featured on the 1998 album "Program Yourself." The song peaked at number one on the US "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Songs. Outside of the United States, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom and peaked within the top ten of the charts in at least 12 other countries, including Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway.
The song's title and lyrics reference Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious which holds that the human ego is not free and is instead controlled by its own unconscious id (see Id, ego and super-ego)—in Freud's own words, "das Ich ist nicht Herr im eigenen Hause" ("the ego is not king of its own castle"). Hence, one of the song's two music videos consists of footage from the 1995 anime film "Ghost in the Shell", where people with cyborg implants have their actions controlled against their will by a hacker criminal known in the film as "puppetmaster".
"King of My Castle" was re-released in 2009 but was available on YouTube from November 2008 and includes new remixes by Rowald Steyn, Mischa Daniels and Armin van Buuren.
