In Italy we have "vieni a ballare in Puglia" by Caparezza.

The title means "Come dance in Puglia" but the song lyrics are a criticism of the working conditions in the Italian region, where health regulations are not respected and people keep dying on the job while they are asked to smile and dance for the tourists. The song makes sense when you replace the word "dance" with "die".

Though it's a tarantella and very catchy, so it's used as a funny song for tourists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
