Current Country - USA: Probably the theme song of Team America. My brother showed it to me in like… idk 2015-2018 or something and I thought it was funny.
The original 海闊天空 is the most popular song in the Canto-sphere, I think every Hong Konger or even most Guangzhou resident would know it. The original has the term 原諒我這一生不羈放縱 愛自由 (Forgive me for my entire life never giving up freedom) which I think it’s about personal freedom like careers and personal choices, not as in political, but Hong Kong protesters have used it as their unofficial anthem.
This Mandarin version adds much more words that implies politics, but oddly enough, I don’t think this song got banned in China. Namewee (the person who made the Music Video) later made another MV that has more political anti-CCP lyrics that probably cross the government’s “red line” and he got banned from China for that.

Or alternatively: The Theme Song of Man in the High Castle (It’s about alt-history where nazi germany won and takes over America… fitting for current events)
