Tonks' English teacher played this in her class--because Shakespeare was the Eminem of the 16th century.
And, thanks to the creator, Mitch Benn, here are the lyrics:
(MY NAME IS) MACBETH
 I wanna tell you a story full of blood, murder and death
 (My Name is) Macbeth
 I was the baddest motherf- in Scotland
 Whichland? Whereland? Wholand? Whatland?
 I won a battle at the head of my legions
 Showing my allegiance, slapping down Norwegians
 Bearing a grievance, they came to attack
 But ain't nobody gets to f- with Big Mac
 On my way home I ran into these three mystic bitches
 Of a kind that in those days were commonly referred to as witches
 And they gave me some big news I had not been seeking
 They told me that one day I would eventually be king
 They got the other part right about being Thane of Cawdor
 And I started thinking thoughts that I knew I didn't oughta
 I shared the good news with my good lady
 I was getting kinda scared but she stayed slim & shady
 She said "What do you owe this king? Why you wanna be so nice to him?"
 "If you'd left it up to me I already woulda iced him"
 She was going on and on, frankly it was starting to bore me
 And i think it was about then I saw a dagger before me 
 If there's one thing I just can't stand, it's naggers
 So I done the deed and she ditched the daggers
(My name is, my name is, my name is)
Macbeth
Hi (my name is) What? (my name is) Who? (my name is)
Macbeth
 
 Now I had the crown but I didn't feel like no winner
 Whacked my best buddy Banquo, guess who came to dinner
 Went back to the witches, this time they did not expect me
 Some spirits gave me some knowledge they said would protect me 
 They said "You're cool till the trees come attackin' your castle 
 "And watch out for Macduff", man, I knew he was an asshole
 "Though your deeds may be dark and your doings despicable,
 By man born of woman, yo' ass is unkickable"
 I came swaggering home with my new information
 And had Macduff's family murdered by way of celebration
Hi (my name is) What? (my name is) Who? (my name is)
Macbeth
Hi (my name is) Hail! (my name is) Avaunt! (my name is) See you!
Macbeth
 
 Now Malcolm was the name of the old king's son
 And on the day I done his dada in, to England he had run
 And ever since then, well I hadn't heard jack
 But now he was back to attack and harrass the Mac with a pack of Sassenachs!
 My knees were knockin' my head was hurtin'
 My defences were down, my troops were desertin'
 I strapped on my armour, my mood was improvin'
 Till some kid said "check it out, dude, the trees are movin'"
 The thanes were a strain on my brain, they were feeling the pain, they
 decided they didn't haveta 
 My lady went crazy and done herself in, she shoulda died hereafter...
 There mighta been a time to feel some pain or sorrow
 Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
 Hey Macduff what is your problem man, where is it that you get off?
 You break into my castle tryin' to cut my -kin' head off?
 Yeah give it your best shot, Lay it on, you nut
 No man born of woman can kick this butt
 Turns out my charm didn't offer no protection
 Motherf- was delivered by caesarian section...
 That's the last you'll hear from me, all things being equal
 Unless some dumb motherf- decides to write a sequel.
