Tell me it’s ‘fit as a fiddle’..

Such a spectacular result from such a tough rebus is worth a galaxy! While tussling with that one, “fiddleheads” (a maritime Canada delicacy) went through my head. But I failed to put the two clues together. Well done @Syzygy and @Charlemagne1333 .

Galaxy award graciously accepted 😀

It was @Syzygy ’s idiom clue that swung it

Wait...that could work, albeit a bit of a stretch. Olde's Alma Mater is Regent's University London. A Regent is a person appointed to administer a country because the monarch is a minor (or absent)...We Three Kings is in a minor-sounding Aeolian mode! Add that to "The King" and Nat King Cole and we get our Christmas gift!

Still going to mull this over a bit more as I'm not confident I have it right just yet.

@Syzygy , it is not We Three Kings. Not a Christmas Carol. With two “kings” among the clues, I can see what you were thinking! It is more of a nursery rhyme I’m after. But you did well to identify Erica Olde! I’d never heard of her until I posted this rebus. I really thought this would be too easy, so that’s why I called t a gift!

Humpty Dumpty! Yay - I got one!

I suspect the post by @Syzygy referring to ”scrambled eggs” might have helped you. But here’s a star for you, anyway.

I didn't realise he got there first - I wasn't sure what @Syzygy was talking about. Still, grateful for even a second prize!

small hint, but not to make it too easy, the hint will be a little vague as well. You've likely seen it on a screen.
