They can be funny songs, or serious songs, or weird songs. Just post a link to a song or two to describe some of the world's most famous or infamous leaders.
Kim Yo Jong. sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un, most powerful woman in North Korea and second most powerful political figure in her country next to her brother. Not to mention totally psychotic murderous whackjob and possibly her brother's successor.
Song: Berceuse from the video game Resident Evil: Code Veronica
"There was a friendly but naive king who wed a very nasty queen. The king was loved but... the queen was feared. Till one day strolling in his court an arrow pierced the kind king's heart. He lost his life and... his lady love."

A song about a certain Russian leader. The Old Man is Stalin; the Old Man being back again is Khrushchev showing his true colors; now another Russian despot has made the song relevant.
Applies to most politicians:
"Standing above the crowd/He had a voice that was strong and loud/And I swallowed his façade 'cause I'm so/Eager to identify with/Someone above the crowd/Someone who seems to feel the same/Someone prepared to lead the way and/Someone who would die for me/Will you?/Will you now?/Would you die for me?/Don't you f***ing lie."

For Nancy Pelosi, and for a number of other politicians also pushing 80- who might consider following her lead and ALSO retiring like both Trump and Biden...here it is.
The traditional song you play at every retirement party for the boss. Made famous by Sinatra, but...other folks have also done interesting versions of it.
