* EvilSoundsRaspy: Voltaire sings "The King of Villains / When I Said I Was Evil" in a raspier, more growly voice than usual. This is fitting because the song is intended to be his greatest VillainSong yet, and it talks a lot about the nature of evil itself.

* DracoInLeatherPants: "The King of Villains / When I Said I Was Evil" is implied to be an InUniverse example of this. The singer character speaks disdainfully towards the listener character, implying that they tried to get close to him because they liked him for being "evil" while grievously underestimating how dangerous he actually was. The song comes across as a major TakeThat to the concept of DracoInLeatherPants by stating that villains are not to be trivialized or taken lightly.
