General Pinochet's Cadillac
In honor of the deceased dictator, I'm listening to Camper Van Beethoven's "Joe Stalin's Cadillac." The lyrics:
Joe Stalin's Cadillac
This is Joe Stalin's Cadillac
We're just drivin' 'round the block in Joe Stalin's Cadillac
L.B.J.'s Cadillac
L.B.J.'s Cadillac
We're just peein' on the side of the road in L.B.J.'s Cadillac
Aw, this is Somoza's Cadillac
This is Somoza's Cadillac
We're just drivin' 'round the block in Somoza's Cadillac
General Pinochet's Cadillac
General Pinochet's Cadillac
Can't go left in General Pinochet's Cadillac
Well my Cadillac
Is Johnson's Cadillac
Is Stalin's Cadillac
Is Somoza's Cadillac
Is General Pinochet's Cadillac and be referred to Reagan's Cadillac
Gonna drive my Cadillac off a bridge
Gonna drive my Cadillac of a bridge
If I can find a bride I'll drive my Cadillac off a bridge
Where's the bridge?
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Sometimes the best way to deal with evil is to make fun of it...

For an enjoyable account of a young teen relieving himself on the wall of Pinochet's fortress, check out the following essay from the ever-redoubtable Neddie Jingo.

And no, I don't know what "ever-redoubtable" means, but it sounds authoritative.

There once was was a man, Pinochet
Who earned notice at Chile's Iquique.
With the help of Pres Nixon
And Kissinger's fixin'
He cout d'etat'd Sal Allende

Ok, I doubt anyone ever called Allende "Sal". Call it poetic license
