The King & Eye is a studio version of the third part of the Cube-E show, featuring the music of Elvis Presley. The album, like the live performance, involves a aging Elvis impersonator telling the story of "The Baby King" to his two grandchildren, Shorty & Shirley (on the album, the two children are played by Jana Flynn and Simon Timony).

The Residents used an unusual (for them) approach when recording this album: they rented studio space at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco for a day, rather than use their own facilities, to see how such an environment would affect their work. The album's packaging was also handled differently: while Pore Know Graphics, the band's own in-house design group, did the actual cover art, the group hired Rex Ray, who was doing all of the UWEB artwork at the time, to do the packaging.

In 1989 The Residents recorded an album of Elvis hits called The King & Eye. Anyone knowing The Residents work would not be surprised that there was no attempt at recreating the original arrangements. In fact a great deal of work went into rethinking the music and digging into the Freudian aspects of the lyrics. The group wished to return the pain to the material which swirls around ideas of lost love and obsession. The album was tied together with a children's story about a baby who wanted to be king because he felt such deep emptiness.

The Residents saw Elvis's life as a cautionary tale. A story of lost innocence, misplaced while searching for night time shadows. Even more amazing to The Residents, in death, Elvis became the ultimate Americana icon.

In 2003, The Residents asked German remix whiz, Paralyzer, to listen to the original 24 track master and see what he would do to modernize their album to make it more relevant to life in the 21st century. Paralyzer accepted the challenge but asked that the group give him free rein to interpret the pieces. They excitedly agreed.

The Residents only heard the result when Paralyzer finally presented his vision of Elvis to them, The King & Eye: RMX.
