Four songs about diabolical masterminds and sinister manipulators:

119. Leslie Fish, “Teacher, Teacher” (1983):

And as a bonus – the Doctor trolling his schoolteacher friend with the same tune:
From one tale of a barber, in King March, to another tale of a barber, in Rossini’s opera The Barber of Seville (Operavox, 1995).
The animation’s opening scene, with a figure on his knees laying out the stage, seems to be a nod to the opening scene of a different Figaro opera, Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. (Both operas are drawn from a trilogy of plays by Beaumarchais.)

116. Sufjan Stevens, “Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois” (2005):
