節錄幾段酷玩樂團的<Viva la Vida>歌詞..
"Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason, I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world"
其中的"my mirror"和"Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word"
提到鏡子與骨鯁之臣的離去，頗符合唐太宗與魏徵的關係：
唐太宗之悼魏徵：「夫以銅為鏡，可以正衣冠，以史為鏡，可以知興替，以人為鏡，
可以明得失。魏徵沒，朕亡一鏡矣！」
還有一段:
"I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own"
從皇帝變掃地，也蠻符合溥儀在中共統治後被分配勞改當園丁的情境。
這首歌也蠻好聽的，搭配電影<末代皇帝>的片段畫面，很有趣。

台北某小型livehouse兼酒吧的名言：No Coldplay

這首歌其實講的是法國大革命路易十五跟瑪麗安東尼打錯 應該是路易十六才對
