OMG, I had no idea that existed.

From Wiki:

“To Be or Not to Be” (also known as “The Hitler Rap”) is a song recorded by Mel Brooks in 1983 for Island Records. The song appeared on the soundtrack album for the movie with the same name. It was derived from the burlesque show within the film but did not appear within it.[1] It also echoes Brooks’ 1967 film The Producers, with the lines “Don’t be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join the Nazi Party” taken from the song “Springtime for Hitler”.

In the accompanying music video, Mel Brooks is dressed like Adolf Hitler and raps about the key events in Hitler’s life in Third Reich.

While having limited success in the United States, the song managed to chart high in Australia and the United Kingdom, peaking at number three in the former country and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached number one in Norway and number two in Sweden.
