History Main / AngryMobSong

** They even parodied themselves later in WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse! They were referred to as "Music/{{village people}}".

Very rarely is an AngryMobSong not a CrowdSong. It doesn't have to be a VillainSong, but it certainly often is.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', the slaves' part of "Deliver Us", in the way that "Look Down" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' is an AngryMobSong; a desperate, bitter, pleading sort of anger.

* Dark folk artist Reverend Glasseye is especially fond of this trope, having more than a few AngryMobSongs across his three albums. Notable tales include a song about man who incites a crowd to lynch the man courting his daughter ("Mother's a Carpegian") and some religious zealots killing a man who won't provide him wood for their temples ("Black River Falls").

** "Look Down" Though not so much an AngryMobSong than a resigned, bitter Mob Song with angry tones about the long, dreading years of prison sentence.

* RealLife French revolutionaries sang "Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira...les aristocrates à la lanterne!"; or, roughly, "string 'em up!"
** The French national anthem, "La Marseillaise", started out this way too. Its lyrics are really bloodthirsty; it mentions a bloodstained banner on the ''fourth line'', and the chorus (y'know, the part that you repeat and actually remember) urges citizens to form up into battalions and kill their oppressors "until impure blood drenches our fields."
*** In similar vein, the rarely-sung third verse of ''The Star-Spangled Banner'' mentions that "their [i.e. the invaders'] blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution." (There's probably a reason it's rarely-sung.)
*** During UsefulNotes/RedOctober the Bolsheviks had their own version, called "Worker's Marseillaise".
* Horst-Wessel-Lied of the National Socialist party of Germany. The ''Die Fahne hoch'' became an unofficial Party anthem after the murder of Wessel and after the Nazi coup, an unofficial national song.
* Although it wasn't used until after the events of the protests, "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' was sung by mourners at a vigil following Tienanmen Square.

The residents of Graydale aren't happy with the return of former resident Knight Shade, since the DealWithTheDevil he made with the serial's villains allowed them to steal their shadows and render them sickly and miserable.
* Combined with TheVillainSucksSong in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', there's "Bats!" (aside from Fluttershy's part, where she defends the bats) [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E7Bats from the episode of the same name]].

* Dark folk artist Reverend Glasseye is especially fond of this trope, having more than a few AngryMobSongs across his three albums.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* In ''Film/TheLadiesMan'', after finding out that Leon is the one who slept with their wives, a formerly depressed mob is so glad to have a new goal that they cheerfully dance through the city on their way to his workplace while singing about their plan to castrate & kill him.

[[AC:{{Theatre}}]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSu4hOLYrXk Savages]]" in ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}''.
** Which includes the line "They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil!". The [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Chick]] was right to be at a loss for words.

'''Other'''

[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* "Burn The Witch" by Queens of the Stone Age. At least until the [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge halfway-point]].
* "The Rise of Abimelech Dumont" by the Gravel Pit features an angry mob trying to overthrow the man who's taken over the town. [[spoiler: They all get shot to death.]]
* In Music/TheProtomen, an angry mob tries to lynch Dr. Light, on Dr. Wily's behest. Notable in that Light has been found innocent of murder and they ''still'' want to kill him.
** The song in question is titled, quite appropriately, "Give Us the Rope".
* Somewhat subverted by Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". The song is from the perspective of a rejected hero who turns against the people he once tried to save (but who rejected him).
* Music/TheMountainGoats:
** "If You See Light" by is an interesting version - it's from the perspective of the person against whom the mob is rallying.
** "Heretic Pride". While the narrator for "If You See Light" is frightened and desperately hiding from the mob trying to tear down the door, the narrator to "Heretic Pride" laughs and promises the crowd a reckoning.

[[AC:FanWorks]]
* "Serves Them Right" from the FanFic/CalvinAtCamp episode "Champion Charlie Brown."

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]

[[AC:{{Theatre}}]]

* "Look down" - the very opening of ''Theatre/LesMiserables''. Though not so much an AngryMobSong than a resigned, bitter Mob Song with angry tones about the long, dreading years of prison sentence.

[[AC:{{WebAnimation}}]]

[[AC:{{WesternAnimation}}]]

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_k8UkjTrs Deep in the Darkest Night]]" from ''{{Dracula}}''. An exception, in that (depending on the production), it may be a crowd song sung by the angry mob, or a solo song that Jonathan Harker sings to the angry mob. A further exception is that, rather than being a dark song about how much the angry mob wants the titular Count dead, its actually a heroic, inspiring song, bordering on ThemeMusicPowerup.

* Combined with TheVillainSucksSong in WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic, there's "Bats!" (aside from Fluttershy's part, where she defends the bats) [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E7Bats from the episode of the same name]].

** "The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!"

* "If You See Light" by TheMountainGoats is an interesting version- it's from the perspective of the person against whom the mob is rallying.
** Also ''Heretic Pride''. While the narrator for ''If You See Light'' is frightened and desperately hiding from the mob trying to tear down the door, the narrator to ''Heretic Pride'' laughs and promises the crowd a reckoning.

* The ''{{Dracula}}'' puppet musical from ''ForgettingSarahMarshall'' features an angry mob chorus during the final song.

** Actually, the truest Angry Mob Song song here is "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZztJfoTNpA&feature=related Snuff That Girl]]." It's a double threat: LaResistance actually gets the BurnTheWitch song!
