"Sing Along with Mad" had a group of songs as sung by historical figures or at historical events. The one I remember best is to be sugn by Leonardo da Vinci, to the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business":

There's no genius
But no genius
Like my genius, you see

Go to Venice, Naples, Rome or Pisa
You will find nobody half as smart
People really dig my Mona Lisa
They think that she's a
Great work of art

There's no talent
Like my talent
The whole world will agree

I've designed machines in which a man can fly
I've charted planets up in the sky
I can even add, subtract and multiply
Oh gee!
I'm glad I'm me!
