There are 2 derivatives of the song with the same title
1. "If I Ruled the World"
A Popular Song composed by "Leslie Bricusse" and "Cyril Ornadel," which was originally from the 1963 West End musical Pickwick (based on Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers).
The song is usually associated with Sir Harry Secombe, but has been performed by other singers, notably Tony Bennett, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder. Bennett originally recorded the song in 1965, and had a number 34 hit with it on the U.S. pop singles charts. Bennett, with Celine Dion, returned to the song on his Grammy-winning 2006 album Duets: An American Classic.
2. If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)
A 1996 hit hip hop single by "Nas" featuring "Lauryn Hill" of The Fugees. The single was Nas's first Top 20 R&B hit, and was also nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. The song samples the 1983 Whodini single "Friends", and interpolates the song "If I Ruled The World" by Kurtis Blow into its chorus. Lauryn Hill's verse interpolates the song "Walk Right Up To The Sun" by The Delfonics. The song's lyrics feature Nas discussing the various things he would do if he "ruled the world and everything in it"
