Cleo Had A Hell Of An Asp

History remembers Cleopatra as a queen, a strategist, and one of the most legendary figures the ancient world ever produced. We remember her as someone who probably would have insisted on controlling the playlist, too. So we asked ourselves: if Cleopatra ruled the charts instead of the Nile, what songs would make the royal cut?

Welcome to another edition of What Would They Listen To? It’s history with a backstage pass, where legendary figures meet legendary music—and yes, we know the asp joke was coming. Sometimes you just have to embrace it.
