My favorite: Simpsons - Henry VIII (mp3) (http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/downloads/track.php?dl=music/henry8.mp3)

lyrics:
I'm Henry the eighth, I am,
Henry the eighth, I am I am,
I've been eating since six a.m.
For dessert I'll have dinner again,
My name's synonymous with gluttony,
I'll always eat a turkey or a ham.

[OmnicientEye]

Run to the Hills
Montsegur
Genghis Khan
Aces High
The Trooper
Flight of Icarus

Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Somebody had to mention it. :D

[Travmire]

I think John Quincy Adams had a song for when he was running (I think it was the 1824 election) about what would happen if he wasn't elected. I don't remember the name though.
