No one sings the praises of evil men. Or maybe, they have no song in their heart. You've heard of happy people with a song in their heart?

I'm not sure exactly what he meant, but I know I can't think of any song performed by or about Hitler so that would kinda explain it.
I would doubt that there were no songs written about him while he was at the height of his power, it's just that no one wants to sing them after the man is gone, so the songs become lost in the archives of history and eventually no one but historians even know they ever existed.
