[-[[caption-width-right:350:♫ And what a beautiful machine they have provided\\
To slice a path of doom with my foul breath to guide it! ♫ ]]-]
* Creator/DonBluth uses this trope in most of his musicals.
** The Grand Duke of Owls gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUiT03FvM3w We Hate The Sun]]'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCD1ghuEaYk Tweedle-le-dee]]'' in ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle''.
** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', each group of villains gets a song.
*** The toads sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoXrHALYXg On The Road]]''.
*** The beetles sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcqDPNibcsc Yer Beautiful Baby]]''.
*** Mr. Mole's minion Miss Fieldmouse sings ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p3kOIlBrM Marry the Mole]]''.
** Gnorga's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZXVdPr6y44 Queen of Mean]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark''.
** Drake's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY74ZHcfHgA Don't Make Me Laugh]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin''.
** Rasputin's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm8QdNR_d8 In The Dark of The Night]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''.
*** The ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y63Pkw9vRzQ Russian Version]]'' isn't too shabby either.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6ROv1JKfg The Real Ludmilla]]'' from ''Bartok The Magnificent''. Debatably also ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giTzwKYNVYk Someone's in My House]]'' from the same movie [[spoiler:though Baba Yaga turns out not to be a villain towards the end.]]
** ''Creature De La Nuit'' from ''[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail An American Tail IV: The Mystery of the Night Monster]]''. The film wasn't directed by Don Bluth, but it's a direct-to-video sequel to the original film, which ''was'' directed by Bluth.
** Another sequel not directed by Bluth, ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2TimmyToTheRescue'', had the song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV7LLs1czvQ Just Say Yes]]".
* The sequels of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' have a few: You got ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRBcB3TWM08 When You're Big]]'', sung by a trio of teenage dinosaurs who are bullies towards the heroes, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPgUsAdciw Eggs]]'', sung by a pair of dinosaurs, singing about their obvious addictions, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w55FdA3nocM Who Needs You]]'', sung by a pair of incompatible villains (essentially a bird and an alligator) about how they don't need each other, and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOcl8aUZ8J8 Very Important Creature]]'', sung by an egotistical Pteranodon.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3h57S3Rhw "Playing With the Big Boys Now"]], sung by the High Priests of Ra in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt''. Although these two are more like lackeys to the main antagonist of the story, they certainly have all the flair and menace of a good villain song. It sounds especially strong in Greek.
** The Pharaoh's part in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tVTEyuCKn4 Plagues]]" counts as well. "Then let my heart be hardened/ and never mind how high the cost may grow/ this will still be so/ I will ''never'' let your people go!"
*** The rest of "The Plagues" actually has many features of a VillainSong, only it's being sung by ''{{God}}''. It's something of a response to "Playing With The Big Boys Now" which preceded it.
* ''WesternAnimation/JosephKingOfDreams'', prequel film to the above, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBXg16U2-Lg "The Market"]], serving more as a villain song for Egypt's overall slave trade, rather than focusing on a specific individual.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB0n7KTyEdI "Big and Loud"]] sung by Darla Dimple in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4YG0jGx1dA Part one]] is used to deceive the protagonist, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRcdLztYdeY part two]] is Darla's gloating monologue about her success and the unpleasant future in store for the heroes. Like any good animated villain song, the visuals are over-the-top spectacular.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evk75OFiGVU "No More Mr. Nice Guy"]] (not to be confused with the Alice Cooper song of the same name), from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''. The sequel had "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfPuQKTXaPA You Gotta Love It]]" and a third film had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MtxUNgA4E "Nothing But Bad Days Ahead"]].
* The Rankin-Bass version of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPkqjc23yqs "Goblin Town"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y30LAj502mY "Fifteen Birds"]] taken directly from the book (more or less). What's up with Orcs and toe-tappingly funky bass music?
-->Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em!\\
till '''beards blaze, and eyes glaze;'''\\
till '''hair swells and skins crack,'''\\
fat melts, and bones black\\
in cinders lie beneath the sky...\\
[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids SO THE DWARVES SHALL DIE!]]
** The Rankin-Bass sequel, The Return Of The King, has two, both sung by sections of Sauron's army: [[https://youtu.be/YdXQJS3Yv0Y "Where There's A Whip (There's A Way)"]] and [[https://youtu.be/MPak0HBdp00 "Towers of the Teeth"]].
* "The Master of Everyone's Ears" from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat''.
** Note that while [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPBS7dVrE1U "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch"]] from the original ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas!'' special didn't qualify as this because it was sung as a voiceover, it did become this when the Grinch himself sang it in [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the 2000 film]] -- though Jim Carrey has nothing on [[Creator/ThurlRavenscroft Tony the Tiger]].
* [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=PJwd86x81SI "It Feels So Good To Be Bad"]] from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven 2''.
** Extra points for voice casting on this one. Red's actor was George Hearn, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of [[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Todd]]. Hence; razors.
** Red also has a short [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJZ0eJON6Uw reprise]] later in the film.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTup5mT4O-Q "Instruments of Destruction"]] by NRG from ''TransformersTheMovie'' may not be sung by any of the Decepticons, but it sure feels like a villain song.
* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Nhp_xm6ms&noredirect=1 "Top of the Woods"]] sung by Boingo to Red Puckett, which combines the VillainSong with a JustBetweenYouAndMe.
--> '''Granny:''' Sweet tea and cookies! We have to do something!
--> '''The Wolf:''' I know. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible.]]
** Also counts as severe LyricalDissonance. Boingo gets to sing the song to a melody that has Splash Mountain-based segments.
** Also, a VillainSong about the villain appears on the soundtrack -- a rap song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6LLdOVhoM8 Bounce]]", riffs of which can be heard in the scene of the Wolf and Twitchy riding in the mine cart.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOeK0Ig-H9g "B Movie Show"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOWUgioSvsE "Cutting Edge (More More More)"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' both have elements of the VillainSong.
** "Cutting Edge" is more of a direct Villain Song, as the appliances in the parts shop prove that DarkIsNotEvil.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' arguably has three examples. The most typical is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJo0_llL1Q8 "I Can Change"]], which Saddam Hussein sings to convince {{Satan}} not to conquer Earth without him. Satan himself as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13Kb_DktHg "Up There"]], but while it gives his motivation, it's actually a poignant IWantSong about how he dreams of escaping Hell to live on Earth. The [[MoralGuardians Mothers Against Canada]] also have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAYMJnO9LBQ "Blame Canada"]].
** Sheila also sings a negative verse of "Mountain Town".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNbw1kUDp5M "(Money Is Such) A Beautiful Word"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie''. It's not an outstanding number, but hey, it's got Creator/TonyJay in it.
** Also, '[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefiSJPHi4E God's Little Creatures]]', which starts off as a sweet song, but becomes this after the Doctor reveals his true self.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStWJloNsuY "What Do We Care"]], the BigLippedAlligatorMoment sung by the Singing Cat Gang, might be an even more notable example, due to the numerous {{Fan Vid}}s it has spawned.
* Easily one of the worst villain songs is the "King of Everything" by Marvin [=McNasty=] from ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw''. It's just him screaming a bad parody of "Hoochie Coochie Man". Then a random Jazz Elvis thing happens, tears of hysteria rolled down from the viewer's eyes at how bad it is.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/DavidCopperfield1993 David Copperfield (1993)]]'' Murdstone (and Grimby) have "Welcome To My Warehouse".
* In ''WesternAnimation/GayPurree'', the villain [[AnimalThemeNaming Meowrice]] extols the social benefits of his greedy ways in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTiPr2l_6o8 "The Money Cat"]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-Wm25T6Qs "Toxic Love"]] from ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest''. Done by a certain Creator/TimCurry, also known as [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank-N-Furter]], as the character Hexxus, whose behavior exhibits an obvious homage to Curry's aforementioned role.
** There is also a fan made [[GenderFlip FEMALE]] cover that is, quite frankly, so awesome that it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_WBqpdu2g deserves to be on this list]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJa0Zv5gHSU "My Name Is Mok"]] in ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule''. Noteworthy because the producers somehow got ''Lou Reed'' to sing it.
* Of course, ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' subverts it every way it can. The main villain of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'' gets not one, but two songs: The first one is the self-titled "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8a2YYlP88 Fairy Godmother Song]]", a cheerful upbeat ditty about how she wants to help everyone; the second comes complete with an ominous orchestra and backing choir... except the song in question is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI0mSEzttx8 Holding Out for a Hero]]".
** There's a reason it was that song, considering it's the background music for some dramatic heroics from Shrek, Donkey, and Puss.
*** Played straight in the Broadway musical, which gives Lord Farquaad two songs: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZTGpgv5d4 What's Up Duloc?]]", where he sings about his plans to conform the kingdom to his ideals, and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-kEPeVDpE The Ballad of Farquaad]]", where he sings about the turbulent relationship with his father and his mother's death that led to where he is. Of course, being Shrek, it was all very tongue-in-cheek: turns out [[spoiler:Daddy was Grumpy.]]
** There's also a completely ridiculous song as performed by "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IVvxrmI44 Monsieur Hood]]" and his merry men. Now, [[FridgeLogic why Robin Hood is French I'll never know...]]
*** Possibly a case of ShownTheirWork, as Sir Robin of Loxley was a noble before turning bandit; which at the time would have made him more than likely to be of Norman (French) heritage. And considering that the Normans would have been seen as [[FridgeBrilliance invading villains by the predominantly Saxon and Celtic populace...]]
*** Ah, except most versions of Robin Hood that pay attention to the Norman/Saxon rivalry use Robin's older origin of being a poor forester or a servant before being outlawed.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ThzGN9Qv5Y "When I'm the King of Wonderland"]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland''. (Watch out for the Wizard's DerangedAnimation face at 2:05! You have been warned!)
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bsF0VvTu9o Who is the Boss?]]" from ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie''. Not sung by the villain himself, but it's sung to praise how much of a powerful man the Duke of Zill is. Plus he introduces the song by saying a few interesting lines. [[spoiler:Have your fun, as long as I ''let you'' have fun!]]
** ''Felix the Cat Saves Christmas'' has the Professor sing "It's Not Easy Being Mean".
* The closest thing to a villain song in ''WesternAnimation/ThePhantomTollbooth'' is "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m76PFLg5jpc Don't Say There's Nothing To Do In The Doldrums]]" performed by the Lethargians, a group of lazy, monotonic, slimy creatures who encourage Milo to be lazy like them so they can eat him.
* The Titans from ''WesternAnimation/HerculesAndXenaTheAnimatedMovieTheBattleForMountOlympus'' had their own song about how they where gonna get revenge and cause chaos and how they were [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyrS_1Gac1M "the best"]]. It's even annoying to characters IN the film!
* A ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' movie, one about Daniel and the Lion's Den, where the wisemen (played by three Scallions) sing a song called "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8gXqwu0IM Oh No! What We Gonna Do?]]" where they plot Daniel's downfall. Their techniques get sillier as they go on, and they're soon talking about using him as a "table to play Scrabble on" which leads into a great rhyme of Babylon.
** Then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0Ho2EgvwY "The Bunny Song"]] in "Rack, Shack, and Benny", about idolizing a chocolate rabbit. This one caused a lot of controversy, and the creators use a rewritten version of the song on [=CDs=] and sing-along tapes. Amusingly, the back up singers have the same verses, with the main baddie scolding them and warning that they'll get tummy aches..
** The French Peas taunt the Hebrews in the desert with the catchy "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXM2o_Hb9Ls Keep Walking]]" in "Josh and the Big Wall."
** The villainess of ''Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed'' get her own self-titled song in which she explains her nature to the citizens of Bumblyburg, who [[FridgeLogic oddly still readily believe the rumors she spreads]].
** In "Esther, the Girl Who Would be Queen", Haman sings to the king about the supposed threat of the Jews in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKdWWHL6BnI surprisingly dark song]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zqWJ4zfhOI Ruber gets a self-titled song]] in ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' where he proclaims Camelot as his while standing behind a glowing green pit. During the song he throws his minions and weapons into the pit, combining them into partially metallic monsters with weapons for hands.
** Of course, he also throws a goofy-looking chicken in there, too. And works it into the song. [[NightmareRetardant "And now this chicken... can kill!"]]
*** [[Literature/TheSwordOfTruth This was no chicken. It was evil manifest.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'''s villain's song, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8gcz4IOyJM Wonderful Me]]", may be short (less than a minute), but it manages to not only get across her motive but her LargeHam tendencies in one swoop. The extended version throws in some BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad for good (bad?) measure.
* TreacherousAdvisor Preminger from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePrincessAndThePauper'' gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6m-4Up2vawHow Could I Refuse]]", complete with DarkReprise.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheIslandPrincess'', EvilMatriarch Queen Ariana has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6HbzWFE2Zk Love is for Peasants]]".
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', SpoiledBrat Malucia gets "I Want It All."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'' singalong special the main villainess sings "I Hate Koalas".
* ''WesternAnimation/FreddieAsFRO7'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3bnNQPgo0 Evilmania]]", sung by the villainess Messina. It features such things as ''dancing Nazis and KKK members'' (in a film marketed to ''children'', no less!).
* ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo's Christmas Carol'' has its own representation with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJBU95pVmw We're Despicable]] sung by the grave robbers.
* The first ''Literature/PippiLongstocking'' animated film has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhGfgX_P-5I A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth]]" sung by Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giVEorC-NOc "Intelligence"]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish Help! I'm a Fish]]''. For bonus points, it's sung by Creator/AlanRickman.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vAp_qgtFjA "Two Heads Ain't Better Than One"]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gallavants}}''.
* The parts of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNX-eLp1Tdo this song]] that the Queen Bee sings and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThhLBepgpxY "Tough Guys"]] from ''Katy the Caterpillar''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has one near the beginning, during the introduction to the villain Zigzag. It's only three lines long, but it sticks in your head quickly:
-->''Have no fear/have no fear/Zigzag the grand vizier is here!''
* In ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', Kim Jong Il's soulful song is a parody of a VillainousLament "[[FriendlessBackground I'm so ronery]]" and makes even less sense when [[spoiler: he turns out to be an alien cockroach]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipN8f_o9ggo 'A Crooked Man']] from the 1997 version of ''WesternAnimation/BabesInToyland'', half of which would be a TheVillainSucksSong if Barnaby [[InsultBackfire didn't love being wicked.]]
** ThoseTwoBadGuys and, by extension, the Goblins get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf-YK1qhPHo 'The Worst is Yet to Come']]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' features a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axbUCR1nKRA theme song]] by Pharell Williams that's all about the DiabolicalMastermind VillainProtagonist.
* Rudolph the Movie did have the great VillainSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWP5plewGY0 "I Hate Santa Claus"]]. It's obviously the best song in the entire movie.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Asterix}} Asterix And Cleopatra]]'' cartoon movie have a song by the two villains, Artifis and Krukhut, called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55k3v5NWgLc The Arsenic Cake Song]]. It is not a song about their villainy, but about the preparation of a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin poisonous cake]], which they use to frame the protagonists for attempted murder.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} 2'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_QiutTgjTw The Grand Design]]'' for Niju, well, sort of. Niju and Nava are the lead singers and Niju has most of the lines. His lines are also quite villainous in nature, showing his motivation, so it qualifies.
* The Good, The Bad, and The Huckleberry Hound has "Gold, Gold, Gold" performed by the Dalton Brothers.
* Nigel, the DragonInChief in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFj4QTjFV_w Pretty Bird]]'', where he explains his backstory as a show bird and how he's now a murderous CardCarryingVillain. It was written in part by Nigel's voice actor, [[FlightOfTheConchords Jemaine Clement.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbRgr4dt6I To coincide with the release of Angry Birds Rio, they also made it a crossover with the Angry Birds]], with a few words changed of course.
** In the sequel, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNc_AAyjFdk it's one]] that begins with "[[WaxingLyrical I Will Survive]]" (given how villains have a thing for StayingAlive...) and goes original at times. All taking Clement's ham to full effect.
** The sequel also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=894idIlso5M&list=UU6FGputahs3Mbxp7DtZg_aA&index=5 "Poisonous Love"]], a strange mix of this and VillainLoveSong sung by Nigel's [[PerkyFemaleMinion Perky Female]] [[TheDragon Dragon]] Gabi the Poison Dart Frog (voiced by [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Kristin Chenoweth]], so you know it's good). In it, she laments that she loves Nigel dearly but they cannot touch because she's poisonous [[spoiler:except not really]]. It doesn't ''sound'' like a VillainSong at first, but then...
-->'''Gabi:''' But darling I'll protect you! I will! Don't worry, just chill! 'Cause there isn't a bird that I wouldn't '''[[{{Yandere}} KILL]]''' [[{{Yandere}} for you!]]
* Queen Scheherazade from "Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time" has "Being Mean is My King of Fun".
* Buxton from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Dougal and the Blue Cat]]'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yStSP6B7I I am King]]''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' has one for the Once-ler, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmrPn1CnzY "How Bad Can I Be?,"]] justifying his thneed business ruining the environment.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpgUQYARIsw "Biggering"]], an early version of the song is even more impressive.
* [[ManiacMonkeys Captain Gutt]] in the fourth ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' film gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YA2nU5CatY Master of the Seas]]'', where he and his crew try to encourage the heroes to join his ship.
** A less obvious case is ''Food glorious food'' sung by the vultures in the second movie, less obvious because they are indirectly trying to off the protagonists while singing it.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxrgITwxzMg That's What It Takes to Rule]]" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndThePea''.
* The Secrets of Anastasia has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZyDg2oikbQ Prince Charmless]]".
* "It's Payback Time" from The Adventures of Brer Rabbit.
* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat: The Movie'' has the Patbot 9000, controlled by [[GreaterScopeVillain Edwin Carbunkle]], perform a DarkReprise of the show's theme, entitled "Special Delivery".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHappyCricket'' has "Majesty Rap"
* I Must Have My Night is The Secretary of Night's song from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicAdventuresofMumfie Mumfie's Quest]]'' that eventually didn't make the cut. It was also sung by the man behind Jafar, Jonathan Freeman!
* The "[[Literature/TheSuicideShop Tuvache Family's Song]]", while no villains per se, the song talks about how happy they are to help their clients as much as they can (to kill themselves).
* Lion of Oz got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8bmaNkLiHY Wicked Ways]] sung by the Wicked Witch of the East
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' has a trio of singing [[EnthrallingSiren Sirens]] as villains, so naturally they would have not just one, but '''several''' villain songs. In order, those are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvcf_euRdg "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)"]] (which they use to sow discord in the school), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKhEVBaIVrQ "Under Our Spell"]] (about their hypnotizing powers), and (partially) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfqhLM_k60c "Welcome to the Show"]], which is a dueling song with the heroes.
** Minor villain/annoyance Trixie gets one, too, with "Tricks Up My Sleeve". We only hear the chorus in the movie, but there's a full-length version on the soundtrack and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEKu8L5UqQ an official music video]].
** Not quite a straight example since the character is definitely a good person, but Human Rainbow Dash has had little enough of her pony counterpart's CharacterDevelopment that her own song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM0p7ETnBg4 "Awesome as I Wanna Be"]] has definite similarities.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'' has "Unleash the Magic", which is about [[spoiler:Principal Cinch]] forcing Human Twilight to [[spoiler:release the magic she has collected in order to give Crystal Prep an advantage]], since for all intents and purposes, she is the true villain of the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'''s Bog King, though not exactly a villain, still gets one in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toji0oM9HM8 "T-R-O-U-B-L-E"]].
** And it gets better with his version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJD93UQ2F9E "Mistreated"]].
** The real villain [[spoiler: Roland]] gets the song [[spoiler: "C'mon Marianne" by Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypvR4yVVXw "He is Dave"]] from the ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' movie, which parodies the Villain Songs in ''Film/JamesBond'' movies. Similar to the ''Hoodwinked!'' example, while the song is not sung in the actual movie, you can hear some of the instrumental part in the scene where Dave arrives at New York City.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CandyLandTheGreatLollipopAdventure'', Lord Licorice sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6umEUimZ3c Licorice Land]] as he tells his {{Mooks}} how he's going to take over Candy Land. It's not exactly NightmareFuel, but it sure is one ''heck'' of an EarWorm.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnTaQTb0TeI More]] from the Golden Films version of ''Beauty and the Beast'', sung by Beauty's three selfish sisters.
* In the Spanish CGI animated film "Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el cachondo" (based in one of the most popular comic book series in Spain), Jimmy, the main villain, sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwS_H32UDbI "Canción del boum"]] which explains his evil plan: Destroy the base of the T.I.A., the secret organization that tries to capture him, with an atomic bomb. The song is a parody of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPbM7Co8CY Boum]] by Charles Trenet.
* The Jester from ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfOzDorothysReturn'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PPnoqV-S80 Jester]], in which he sings about how he despises his sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, for making him a jester, and how he aspires to gain power. Interestingly, the last stanza of the song seems to indicate that he does ''somewhat'' enjoy being a VillainousHarlequin. He also sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a1JfMCxbMQ Candy Candy]] when he changes [[LevelAte Candy County]]'s sign to ''encourage'' people to eat its candy. .
* The ''Franchise/MonsterHigh'' special ''Boo York, Boo York'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm2HfENXElc "Empire"]], sung by Ramses and Nefera de Nile about their plan to unite with another powerful Egyptian family to TakeOverTheWorld.
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstRzkg8ZX0 ''According to plan'']] is a debatable case as both the Van Dorts and the Everglots sing about getting what they want by marrying off their children without their consent and the Everglots go as far as insulting Victoria.
* The 1987 animated television film adaptation of ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Through the Looking Glass]]'' gave a song for the Jabberwock, the Bandersnatch, and the Snark called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weoHZPIx1YU "We're Bad"]] (song begins at 2:06 in the video). The song is mostly about the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch boasting about how despicable they are. While the Snark also contributes a little to the song, his meek claims of also being vile are met with the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch insulting him and dismissing him as a "wimp who simply is absurd".
* The Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfyDp5WGuFQ I Go Looney]] which was adapted from the original graphic novel.

[-[[caption-width-right:350:♫ And what a beautiful machine they have provided\\
To slice a path of doom with my foul breath to guide it! ♫ ]]-]
* Creator/DonBluth uses this trope in most of his musicals.
** The Grand Duke of Owls gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUiT03FvM3w We Hate The Sun]]'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCD1ghuEaYk Tweedle-le-dee]]'' in ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle''.
** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', each group of villains gets a song.
*** The toads sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoXrHALYXg On The Road]]''.
*** The beetles sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcqDPNibcsc Yer Beautiful Baby]]''.
*** Mr. Mole's minion Miss Fieldmouse sings ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p3kOIlBrM Marry the Mole]]''.
** Gnorga's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZXVdPr6y44 Queen of Mean]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark''.
** Drake's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY74ZHcfHgA Don't Make Me Laugh]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin''.
** Rasputin's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm8QdNR_d8 In The Dark of The Night]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''.
*** The ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y63Pkw9vRzQ Russian Version]]'' isn't too shabby either.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6ROv1JKfg The Real Ludmilla]]'' from ''Bartok The Magnificent''. Debatably also ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giTzwKYNVYk Someone's in My House]]'' from the same movie [[spoiler:though Baba Yaga turns out not to be a villain towards the end.]]
** ''Creature De La Nuit'' from ''[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail An American Tail IV: The Mystery of the Night Monster]]''. The film wasn't directed by Don Bluth, but it's a direct-to-video sequel to the original film, which ''was'' directed by Bluth.
** Another sequel not directed by Bluth, ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2TimmyToTheRescue'', had the song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV7LLs1czvQ Just Say Yes]]".
* The sequels of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' have a few: You got ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRBcB3TWM08 When You're Big]]'', sung by a trio of teenage dinosaurs who are bullies towards the heroes, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPgUsAdciw Eggs]]'', sung by a pair of dinosaurs, singing about their obvious addictions, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w55FdA3nocM Who Needs You]]'', sung by a pair of incompatible villains (essentially a bird and an alligator) about how they don't need each other, and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOcl8aUZ8J8 Very Important Creature]]'', sung by an egotistical Pteranodon.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3h57S3Rhw "Playing With the Big Boys Now"]], sung by the High Priests of Ra in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt''. Although these two are more like lackeys to the main antagonist of the story, they certainly have all the flair and menace of a good villain song. It sounds especially strong in Greek.
** The Pharaoh's part in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tVTEyuCKn4 Plagues]]" counts as well. "Then let my heart be hardened/ and never mind how high the cost may grow/ this will still be so/ I will ''never'' let your people go!"
*** The rest of "The Plagues" actually has many features of a VillainSong, only it's being sung by ''{{God}}''. It's something of a response to "Playing With The Big Boys Now" which preceded it.
* ''WesternAnimation/JosephKingOfDreams'', prequel film to the above, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBXg16U2-Lg "The Market"]], serving more as a villain song for Egypt's overall slave trade, rather than focusing on a specific individual.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB0n7KTyEdI "Big and Loud"]] sung by Darla Dimple in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4YG0jGx1dA Part one]] is used to deceive the protagonist, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRcdLztYdeY part two]] is Darla's gloating monologue about her success and the unpleasant future in store for the heroes. Like any good animated villain song, the visuals are over-the-top spectacular.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evk75OFiGVU "No More Mr. Nice Guy"]] (not to be confused with the Alice Cooper song of the same name), from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''. The sequel had "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfPuQKTXaPA You Gotta Love It]]" and a third film had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MtxUNgA4E "Nothing But Bad Days Ahead"]].
* The Rankin-Bass version of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPkqjc23yqs "Goblin Town"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y30LAj502mY "Fifteen Birds"]] taken directly from the book (more or less). What's up with Orcs and toe-tappingly funky bass music?
-->Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em!\\
till '''beards blaze, and eyes glaze;'''\\
till '''hair swells and skins crack,'''\\
fat melts, and bones black\\
in cinders lie beneath the sky...\\
[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids SO THE DWARVES SHALL DIE!]]
** The Rankin-Bass sequel, The Return Of The King, has two, both sung by sections of Sauron's army: [[https://youtu.be/YdXQJS3Yv0Y "Where There's A Whip (There's A Way)"]] and [[https://youtu.be/MPak0HBdp00 "Towers of the Teeth"]].
* "The Master of Everyone's Ears" from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat''.
** Note that while [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPBS7dVrE1U "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch"]] from the original ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas!'' special didn't qualify as this because it was sung as a voiceover, it did become this when the Grinch himself sang it in [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the 2000 film]] -- though Jim Carrey has nothing on [[Creator/ThurlRavenscroft Tony the Tiger]].
* [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=PJwd86x81SI "It Feels So Good To Be Bad"]] from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven 2''.
** Extra points for voice casting on this one. Red's actor was George Hearn, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of [[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Todd]]. Hence; razors.
** Red also has a short [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJZ0eJON6Uw reprise]] later in the film.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTup5mT4O-Q "Instruments of Destruction"]] by NRG from ''TransformersTheMovie'' may not be sung by any of the Decepticons, but it sure feels like a villain song.
* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Nhp_xm6ms&noredirect=1 "Top of the Woods"]] sung by Boingo to Red Puckett, which combines the VillainSong with a JustBetweenYouAndMe.
--> '''Granny:''' Sweet tea and cookies! We have to do something!
--> '''The Wolf:''' I know. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible.]]
** Also counts as severe LyricalDissonance. Boingo gets to sing the song to a melody that has Splash Mountain-based segments.
** Also, a VillainSong about the villain appears on the soundtrack -- a rap song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6LLdOVhoM8 Bounce]]", riffs of which can be heard in the scene of the Wolf and Twitchy riding in the mine cart.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOeK0Ig-H9g "B Movie Show"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOWUgioSvsE "Cutting Edge (More More More)"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' both have elements of the VillainSong.
** "Cutting Edge" is more of a direct Villain Song, as the appliances in the parts shop prove that DarkIsNotEvil.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' arguably has three examples. The most typical is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJo0_llL1Q8 "I Can Change"]], which Saddam Hussein sings to convince {{Satan}} not to conquer Earth without him. Satan himself as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13Kb_DktHg "Up There"]], but while it gives his motivation, it's actually a poignant IWantSong about how he dreams of escaping Hell to live on Earth. The [[MoralGuardians Mothers Against Canada]] also have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAYMJnO9LBQ "Blame Canada"]].
** Sheila also sings a negative verse of "Mountain Town".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNbw1kUDp5M "(Money Is Such) A Beautiful Word"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie''. It's not an outstanding number, but hey, it's got Creator/TonyJay in it.
** Also, '[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefiSJPHi4E God's Little Creatures]]', which starts off as a sweet song, but becomes this after the Doctor reveals his true self.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStWJloNsuY "What Do We Care"]], the BigLippedAlligatorMoment sung by the Singing Cat Gang, might be an even more notable example, due to the numerous {{Fan Vid}}s it has spawned.
* Easily one of the worst villain songs is the "King of Everything" by Marvin [=McNasty=] from ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw''. It's just him screaming a bad parody of "Hoochie Coochie Man". Then a random Jazz Elvis thing happens, tears of hysteria rolled down from the viewer's eyes at how bad it is.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/DavidCopperfield1993 David Copperfield (1993)]]'' Murdstone (and Grimby) have "Welcome To My Warehouse".
* In ''WesternAnimation/GayPurree'', the villain [[AnimalThemeNaming Meowrice]] extols the social benefits of his greedy ways in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTiPr2l_6o8 "The Money Cat"]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-Wm25T6Qs "Toxic Love"]] from ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest''. Done by a certain Creator/TimCurry, also known as [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank-N-Furter]], as the character Hexxus, whose behavior exhibits an obvious homage to Curry's aforementioned role.
** There is also a fan made [[GenderFlip FEMALE]] cover that is, quite frankly, so awesome that it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_WBqpdu2g deserves to be on this list]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJa0Zv5gHSU "My Name Is Mok"]] in ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule''. Noteworthy because the producers somehow got ''Lou Reed'' to sing it.
* Of course, ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' subverts it every way it can. The main villain of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'' gets not one, but two songs: The first one is the self-titled "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8a2YYlP88 Fairy Godmother Song]]", a cheerful upbeat ditty about how she wants to help everyone; the second comes complete with an ominous orchestra and backing choir... except the song in question is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI0mSEzttx8 Holding Out for a Hero]]".
** There's a reason it was that song, considering it's the background music for some dramatic heroics from Shrek, Donkey, and Puss.
*** Played straight in the Broadway musical, which gives Lord Farquaad two songs: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZTGpgv5d4 What's Up Duloc?]]", where he sings about his plans to conform the kingdom to his ideals, and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-kEPeVDpE The Ballad of Farquaad]]", where he sings about the turbulent relationship with his father and his mother's death that led to where he is. Of course, being Shrek, it was all very tongue-in-cheek: turns out [[spoiler:Daddy was Grumpy.]]
** There's also a completely ridiculous song as performed by "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IVvxrmI44 Monsieur Hood]]" and his merry men. Now, [[FridgeLogic why Robin Hood is French I'll never know...]]
*** Possibly a case of ShownTheirWork, as Sir Robin of Loxley was a noble before turning bandit; which at the time would have made him more than likely to be of Norman (French) heritage. And considering that the Normans would have been seen as [[FridgeBrilliance invading villains by the predominantly Saxon and Celtic populace...]]
*** Ah, except most versions of Robin Hood that pay attention to the Norman/Saxon rivalry use Robin's older origin of being a poor forester or a servant before being outlawed.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ThzGN9Qv5Y "When I'm the King of Wonderland"]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland''. (Watch out for the Wizard's DerangedAnimation face at 2:05! You have been warned!)
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bsF0VvTu9o Who is the Boss?]]" from ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie''. Not sung by the villain himself, but it's sung to praise how much of a powerful man the Duke of Zill is. Plus he introduces the song by saying a few interesting lines. [[spoiler:Have your fun, as long as I ''let you'' have fun!]]
** ''Felix the Cat Saves Christmas'' has the Professor sing "It's Not Easy Being Mean".
* The closest thing to a villain song in ''WesternAnimation/ThePhantomTollbooth'' is "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m76PFLg5jpc Don't Say There's Nothing To Do In The Doldrums]]" performed by the Lethargians, a group of lazy, monotonic, slimy creatures who encourage Milo to be lazy like them so they can eat him.
* The Titans from ''WesternAnimation/HerculesAndXenaTheAnimatedMovieTheBattleForMountOlympus'' had their own song about how they where gonna get revenge and cause chaos and how they were [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyrS_1Gac1M "the best"]]. It's even annoying to characters IN the film!
* A ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' movie, one about Daniel and the Lion's Den, where the wisemen (played by three Scallions) sing a song called "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8gXqwu0IM Oh No! What We Gonna Do?]]" where they plot Daniel's downfall. Their techniques get sillier as they go on, and they're soon talking about using him as a "table to play Scrabble on" which leads into a great rhyme of Babylon.
** Then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0Ho2EgvwY "The Bunny Song"]] in "Rack, Shack, and Benny", about idolizing a chocolate rabbit. This one caused a lot of controversy, and the creators use a rewritten version of the song on [=CDs=] and sing-along tapes. Amusingly, the back up singers have the same verses, with the main baddie scolding them and warning that they'll get tummy aches..
** The French Peas taunt the Hebrews in the desert with the catchy "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXM2o_Hb9Ls Keep Walking]]" in "Josh and the Big Wall."
** The villainess of ''Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed'' get her own self-titled song in which she explains her nature to the citizens of Bumblyburg, who [[FridgeLogic oddly still readily believe the rumors she spreads]].
** In "Esther, the Girl Who Would be Queen", Haman sings to the king about the supposed threat of the Jews in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKdWWHL6BnI surprisingly dark song]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zqWJ4zfhOI Ruber gets a self-titled song]] in ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' where he proclaims Camelot as his while standing behind a glowing green pit. During the song he throws his minions and weapons into the pit, combining them into partially metallic monsters with weapons for hands.
** Of course, he also throws a goofy-looking chicken in there, too. And works it into the song. [[NightmareRetardant "And now this chicken... can kill!"]]
*** [[Literature/TheSwordOfTruth This was no chicken. It was evil manifest.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'''s villain's song, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8gcz4IOyJM Wonderful Me]]", may be short (less than a minute), but it manages to not only get across her motive but her LargeHam tendencies in one swoop. The extended version throws in some BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad for good (bad?) measure.
* TreacherousAdvisor Preminger from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePrincessAndThePauper'' gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6m-4Up2vawHow Could I Refuse]]", complete with DarkReprise.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheIslandPrincess'', EvilMatriarch Queen Ariana has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6HbzWFE2Zk Love is for Peasants]]".
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', SpoiledBrat Malucia gets "I Want It All."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'' singalong special the main villainess sings "I Hate Koalas".
* ''WesternAnimation/FreddieAsFRO7'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3bnNQPgo0 Evilmania]]", sung by the villainess Messina. It features such things as ''dancing Nazis and KKK members'' (in a film marketed to ''children'', no less!).
* ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo's Christmas Carol'' has its own representation with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJBU95pVmw We're Despicable]] sung by the grave robbers.
* The first ''Literature/PippiLongstocking'' animated film has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhGfgX_P-5I A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth]]" sung by Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giVEorC-NOc "Intelligence"]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish Help! I'm a Fish]]''. For bonus points, it's sung by Creator/AlanRickman.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vAp_qgtFjA "Two Heads Ain't Better Than One"]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gallavants}}''.
* The parts of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNX-eLp1Tdo this song]] that the Queen Bee sings and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThhLBepgpxY "Tough Guys"]] from ''Katy the Caterpillar''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has one near the beginning, during the introduction to the villain Zigzag. It's only three lines long, but it sticks in your head quickly:
-->''Have no fear/have no fear/Zigzag the grand vizier is here!''
* In ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', Kim Jong Il's soulful song is a parody of a VillainousLament "[[FriendlessBackground I'm so ronery]]" and makes even less sense when [[spoiler: he turns out to be an alien cockroach]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipN8f_o9ggo 'A Crooked Man']] from the 1997 version of ''WesternAnimation/BabesInToyland'', half of which would be a TheVillainSucksSong if Barnaby [[InsultBackfire didn't love being wicked.]]
** ThoseTwoBadGuys and, by extension, the Goblins get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf-YK1qhPHo 'The Worst is Yet to Come']]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' features a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axbUCR1nKRA theme song]] by Pharell Williams that's all about the DiabolicalMastermind VillainProtagonist.
* Rudolph the Movie did have the great VillainSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWP5plewGY0 "I Hate Santa Claus"]]. It's obviously the best song in the entire movie.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Asterix}} Asterix And Cleopatra]]'' cartoon movie have a song by the two villains, Artifis and Krukhut, called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55k3v5NWgLc The Arsenic Cake Song]]. It is not a song about their villainy, but about the preparation of a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin poisonous cake]], which they use to frame the protagonists for attempted murder.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} 2'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_QiutTgjTw The Grand Design]]'' for Niju, well, sort of. Niju and Nava are the lead singers and Niju has most of the lines. His lines are also quite villainous in nature, showing his motivation, so it qualifies.
* The Good, The Bad, and The Huckleberry Hound has "Gold, Gold, Gold" performed by the Dalton Brothers.
* Nigel, the DragonInChief in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFj4QTjFV_w Pretty Bird]]'', where he explains his backstory as a show bird and how he's now a murderous CardCarryingVillain. It was written in part by Nigel's voice actor, [[FlightOfTheConchords Jemaine Clement.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbRgr4dt6I To coincide with the release of Angry Birds Rio, they also made it a crossover with the Angry Birds]], with a few words changed of course.
** In the sequel, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNc_AAyjFdk it's one]] that begins with "[[WaxingLyrical I Will Survive]]" (given how villains have a thing for StayingAlive...) and goes original at times. All taking Clement's ham to full effect.
** The sequel also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=894idIlso5M&list=UU6FGputahs3Mbxp7DtZg_aA&index=5 "Poisonous Love"]], a strange mix of this and VillainLoveSong sung by Nigel's [[PerkyFemaleMinion Perky Female]] [[TheDragon Dragon]] Gabi the Poison Dart Frog (voiced by [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Kristin Chenoweth]], so you know it's good). In it, she laments that she loves Nigel dearly but they cannot touch because she's poisonous [[spoiler:except not really]]. It doesn't ''sound'' like a VillainSong at first, but then...
-->'''Gabi:''' But darling I'll protect you! I will! Don't worry, just chill! 'Cause there isn't a bird that I wouldn't '''[[{{Yandere}} KILL]]''' [[{{Yandere}} for you!]]
* Queen Scheherazade from "Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time" has "Being Mean is My King of Fun".
* Buxton from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Dougal and the Blue Cat]]'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yStSP6B7I I am King]]''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' has one for the Once-ler, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmrPn1CnzY "How Bad Can I Be?,"]] justifying his thneed business ruining the environment.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpgUQYARIsw "Biggering"]], an early version of the song is even more impressive.
* [[ManiacMonkeys Captain Gutt]] in the fourth ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' film gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YA2nU5CatY Master of the Seas]]'', where he and his crew try to encourage the heroes to join his ship.
** A less obvious case is ''Food glorious food'' sung by the vultures in the second movie, less obvious because they are indirectly trying to off the protagonists while singing it.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxrgITwxzMg That's What It Takes to Rule]]" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndThePea''.
* The Secrets of Anastasia has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZyDg2oikbQ Prince Charmless]]".
* "It's Payback Time" from The Adventures of Brer Rabbit.
* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat: The Movie'' has the Patbot 9000, controlled by [[GreaterScopeVillain Edwin Carbunkle]], perform a DarkReprise of the show's theme, entitled "Special Delivery".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHappyCricket'' has "Majesty Rap"
* I Must Have My Night is The Secretary of Night's song from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicAdventuresofMumfie Mumfie's Quest]]'' that eventually didn't make the cut. It was also sung by the man behind Jafar, Jonathan Freeman!
* The "[[Literature/TheSuicideShop Tuvache Family's Song]]", while no villains per se, the song talks about how happy they are to help their clients as much as they can (to kill themselves).
* Lion of Oz got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8bmaNkLiHY Wicked Ways]] sung by the Wicked Witch of the East
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' has a trio of singing [[EnthrallingSiren Sirens]] as villains, so naturally they would have not just one, but '''several''' villain songs. In order, those are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvcf_euRdg "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)"]] (which they use to sow discord in the school), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKhEVBaIVrQ "Under Our Spell"]] (about their hypnotizing powers), and (partially) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfqhLM_k60c "Welcome to the Show"]], which is a dueling song with the heroes.
** Minor villain/annoyance Trixie gets one, too, with "Tricks Up My Sleeve". We only hear the chorus in the movie, but there's a full-length version on the soundtrack and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEKu8L5UqQ an official music video]].
** Not quite a straight example since the character is definitely a good person, but Human Rainbow Dash has had little enough of her pony counterpart's CharacterDevelopment that her own song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM0p7ETnBg4 "Awesome as I Wanna Be"]] has definite similarities.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'' has "Unleash the Magic", which is about [[spoiler:Principal Cinch]] forcing Human Twilight to [[spoiler:release the magic she has collected in order to give Crystal Prep an advantage]], since for all intents and purposes, she is the true villain of the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'''s Bog King, though not exactly a villain, still gets one in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toji0oM9HM8 "T-R-O-U-B-L-E"]].
** And it gets better with his version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJD93UQ2F9E "Mistreated"]].
** The real villain [[spoiler: Roland]] gets the song [[spoiler: "C'mon Marianne" by Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypvR4yVVXw "He is Dave"]] from the ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' movie, which parodies the Villain Songs in ''Film/JamesBond'' movies. Similar to the ''Hoodwinked!'' example, while the song is not sung in the actual movie, you can hear some of the instrumental part in the scene where Dave arrives at New York City.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CandyLandTheGreatLollipopAdventure'', Lord Licorice sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6umEUimZ3c Licorice Land]] as he tells his {{Mooks}} how he's going to take over Candy Land. It's not exactly NightmareFuel, but it sure is one ''heck'' of an EarWorm.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnTaQTb0TeI More]] from the Golden Films version of ''Beauty and the Beast'', sung by Beauty's three selfish sisters.
* In the Spanish CGI animated film "Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el cachondo" (based in one of the most popular comic book series in Spain), Jimmy, the main villain, sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwS_H32UDbI "Canción del boum"]] which explains his evil plan: Destroy the base of the T.I.A., the secret organization that tries to capture him, with an atomic bomb. The song is a parody of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPbM7Co8CY Boum]] by Charles Trenet.
* The Jester from ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfOzDorothysReturn'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PPnoqV-S80 Jester]], in which he sings about how he despises his sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, for making him a jester, and how he aspires to gain power. Interestingly, the last stanza of the song seems to indicate that he does ''somewhat'' enjoy being a VillainousHarlequin. He also sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a1JfMCxbMQ Candy Candy]] when he changes [[LevelAte Candy County]]'s sign to ''encourage'' people to eat its candy. .
* The ''Franchise/MonsterHigh'' special ''Boo York, Boo York'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm2HfENXElc "Empire"]], sung by Ramses and Nefera de Nile about their plan to unite with another powerful Egyptian family to TakeOverTheWorld.
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstRzkg8ZX0 ''According to plan'']] is a debatable case as both the Van Dorts and the Everglots sing about getting what they want by marrying off their children without their consent and the Everglots go as far as insulting Victoria.
* The 1987 animated television film adaptation of ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Through the Looking Glass]]'' gave a song for the Jabberwock, the Bandersnatch, and the Snark called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weoHZPIx1YU "We're Bad"]] (song begins at 2:06 in the video). The song is mostly about the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch boasting about how despicable they are. While the Snark also contributes a little to the song, his meek claims of also being vile are met with the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch insulting him and dismissing him as a "wimp who simply is absurd".
* The Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfyDp5WGuFQ I Go Looney]] which was adapted from the original graphic novel.

[-[[caption-width-right:350:♫ And what a beautiful machine they have provided\\
To slice a path of doom with my foul breath to guide it! ♫ ]]-]
* Creator/DonBluth uses this trope in most of his musicals.
** The Grand Duke of Owls gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUiT03FvM3w We Hate The Sun]]'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCD1ghuEaYk Tweedle-le-dee]]'' in ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle''.
** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', each group of villains gets a song.
*** The toads sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoXrHALYXg On The Road]]''.
*** The beetles sing ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcqDPNibcsc Yer Beautiful Baby]]''.
*** Mr. Mole's minion Miss Fieldmouse sings ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p3kOIlBrM Marry the Mole]]''.
** Gnorga's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZXVdPr6y44 Queen of Mean]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark''.
** Drake's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY74ZHcfHgA Don't Make Me Laugh]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin''.
** Rasputin's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm8QdNR_d8 In The Dark of The Night]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''.
*** The ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y63Pkw9vRzQ Russian Version]]'' isn't too shabby either.
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6ROv1JKfg The Real Ludmilla]]'' from ''Bartok The Magnificent''. Debatably also ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giTzwKYNVYk Someone's in My House]]'' from the same movie [[spoiler:though Baba Yaga turns out not to be a villain towards the end.]]
** ''Creature De La Nuit'' from ''[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail An American Tail IV: The Mystery of the Night Monster]]''. The film wasn't directed by Don Bluth, but it's a direct-to-video sequel to the original film, which ''was'' directed by Bluth.
** Another sequel not directed by Bluth, ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2TimmyToTheRescue'', had the song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV7LLs1czvQ Just Say Yes]]".
* The sequels of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' have a few: You got ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRBcB3TWM08 When You're Big]]'', sung by a trio of teenage dinosaurs who are bullies towards the heroes, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPgUsAdciw Eggs]]'', sung by a pair of dinosaurs, singing about their obvious addictions, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w55FdA3nocM Who Needs You]]'', sung by a pair of incompatible villains (essentially a bird and an alligator) about how they don't need each other, and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOcl8aUZ8J8 Very Important Creature]]'', sung by an egotistical Pteranodon.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3h57S3Rhw "Playing With the Big Boys Now"]], sung by the High Priests of Ra in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt''. Although these two are more like lackeys to the main antagonist of the story, they certainly have all the flair and menace of a good villain song. It sounds especially strong in Greek.
** The Pharaoh's part in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tVTEyuCKn4 Plagues]]" counts as well. "Then let my heart be hardened/ and never mind how high the cost may grow/ this will still be so/ I will ''never'' let your people go!"
*** The rest of "The Plagues" actually has many features of a VillainSong, only it's being sung by ''{{God}}''. It's something of a response to "Playing With The Big Boys Now" which preceded it.
* ''WesternAnimation/JosephKingOfDreams'', prequel film to the above, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBXg16U2-Lg "The Market"]], serving more as a villain song for Egypt's overall slave trade, rather than focusing on a specific individual.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB0n7KTyEdI "Big and Loud"]] sung by Darla Dimple in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4YG0jGx1dA Part one]] is used to deceive the protagonist, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRcdLztYdeY part two]] is Darla's gloating monologue about her success and the unpleasant future in store for the heroes. Like any good animated villain song, the visuals are over-the-top spectacular.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evk75OFiGVU "No More Mr. Nice Guy"]] (not to be confused with the Alice Cooper song of the same name), from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''. The sequel had "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfPuQKTXaPA You Gotta Love It]]" and a third film had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MtxUNgA4E "Nothing But Bad Days Ahead"]].
* The Rankin-Bass version of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPkqjc23yqs "Goblin Town"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y30LAj502mY "Fifteen Birds"]] taken directly from the book (more or less). What's up with Orcs and toe-tappingly funky bass music?
-->Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em!\\
till '''beards blaze, and eyes glaze;'''\\
till '''hair swells and skins crack,'''\\
fat melts, and bones black\\
in cinders lie beneath the sky...\\
[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids SO THE DWARVES SHALL DIE!]]
** The Rankin-Bass sequel, The Return Of The King, has two, both sung by sections of Sauron's army: [[https://youtu.be/YdXQJS3Yv0Y "Where There's A Whip (There's A Way)"]] and [[https://youtu.be/MPak0HBdp00 "Towers of the Teeth"]].
* "The Master of Everyone's Ears" from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat''.
** Note that while [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPBS7dVrE1U "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch"]] from the original ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas!'' special didn't qualify as this because it was sung as a voiceover, it did become this when the Grinch himself sang it in [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the 2000 film]] -- though Jim Carrey has nothing on [[Creator/ThurlRavenscroft Tony the Tiger]].
* [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=PJwd86x81SI "It Feels So Good To Be Bad"]] from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven 2''.
** Extra points for voice casting on this one. Red's actor was George Hearn, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of [[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Todd]]. Hence; razors.
** Red also has a short [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJZ0eJON6Uw reprise]] later in the film.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTup5mT4O-Q "Instruments of Destruction"]] by NRG from ''TransformersTheMovie'' may not be sung by any of the Decepticons, but it sure feels like a villain song.
* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Nhp_xm6ms&noredirect=1 "Top of the Woods"]] sung by Boingo to Red Puckett, which combines the VillainSong with a JustBetweenYouAndMe.
--> '''Granny:''' Sweet tea and cookies! We have to do something!
--> '''The Wolf:''' I know. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible.]]
** Also counts as severe LyricalDissonance. Boingo gets to sing the song to a melody that has Splash Mountain-based segments.
** Also, a VillainSong about the villain appears on the soundtrack -- a rap song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6LLdOVhoM8 Bounce]]", riffs of which can be heard in the scene of the Wolf and Twitchy riding in the mine cart.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOeK0Ig-H9g "B Movie Show"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOWUgioSvsE "Cutting Edge (More More More)"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' both have elements of the VillainSong.
** "Cutting Edge" is more of a direct Villain Song, as the appliances in the parts shop prove that DarkIsNotEvil.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' arguably has three examples. The most typical is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJo0_llL1Q8 "I Can Change"]], which Saddam Hussein sings to convince {{Satan}} not to conquer Earth without him. Satan himself as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13Kb_DktHg "Up There"]], but while it gives his motivation, it's actually a poignant IWantSong about how he dreams of escaping Hell to live on Earth. The [[MoralGuardians Mothers Against Canada]] also have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAYMJnO9LBQ "Blame Canada"]].
** Sheila also sings a negative verse of "Mountain Town".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNbw1kUDp5M "(Money Is Such) A Beautiful Word"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie''. It's not an outstanding number, but hey, it's got Creator/TonyJay in it.
** Also, '[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefiSJPHi4E God's Little Creatures]]', which starts off as a sweet song, but becomes this after the Doctor reveals his true self.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStWJloNsuY "What Do We Care"]], the BigLippedAlligatorMoment sung by the Singing Cat Gang, might be an even more notable example, due to the numerous {{Fan Vid}}s it has spawned.
* Easily one of the worst villain songs is the "King of Everything" by Marvin [=McNasty=] from ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw''. It's just him screaming a bad parody of "Hoochie Coochie Man". Then a random Jazz Elvis thing happens, tears of hysteria rolled down from the viewer's eyes at how bad it is.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/DavidCopperfield1993 David Copperfield (1993)]]'' Murdstone (and Grimby) have "Welcome To My Warehouse".
* In ''WesternAnimation/GayPurree'', the villain [[AnimalThemeNaming Meowrice]] extols the social benefits of his greedy ways in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTiPr2l_6o8 "The Money Cat"]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-Wm25T6Qs "Toxic Love"]] from ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest''. Done by a certain Creator/TimCurry, also known as [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank-N-Furter]], as the character Hexxus, whose behavior exhibits an obvious homage to Curry's aforementioned role.
** There is also a fan made [[GenderFlip FEMALE]] cover that is, quite frankly, so awesome that it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_WBqpdu2g deserves to be on this list]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJa0Zv5gHSU "My Name Is Mok"]] in ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule''. Noteworthy because the producers somehow got ''Lou Reed'' to sing it.
* Of course, ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' subverts it every way it can. The main villain of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'' gets not one, but two songs: The first one is the self-titled "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8a2YYlP88 Fairy Godmother Song]]", a cheerful upbeat ditty about how she wants to help everyone; the second comes complete with an ominous orchestra and backing choir... except the song in question is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI0mSEzttx8 Holding Out for a Hero]]".
** There's a reason it was that song, considering it's the background music for some dramatic heroics from Shrek, Donkey, and Puss.
*** Played straight in the Broadway musical, which gives Lord Farquaad two songs: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZTGpgv5d4 What's Up Duloc?]]", where he sings about his plans to conform the kingdom to his ideals, and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-kEPeVDpE The Ballad of Farquaad]]", where he sings about the turbulent relationship with his father and his mother's death that led to where he is. Of course, being Shrek, it was all very tongue-in-cheek: turns out [[spoiler:Daddy was Grumpy.]]
** There's also a completely ridiculous song as performed by "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IVvxrmI44 Monsieur Hood]]" and his merry men. Now, [[FridgeLogic why Robin Hood is French I'll never know...]]
*** Possibly a case of ShownTheirWork, as Sir Robin of Loxley was a noble before turning bandit; which at the time would have made him more than likely to be of Norman (French) heritage. And considering that the Normans would have been seen as [[FridgeBrilliance invading villains by the predominantly Saxon and Celtic populace...]]
*** Ah, except most versions of Robin Hood that pay attention to the Norman/Saxon rivalry use Robin's older origin of being a poor forester or a servant before being outlawed.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ThzGN9Qv5Y "When I'm the King of Wonderland"]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland''. (Watch out for the Wizard's DerangedAnimation face at 2:05! You have been warned!)
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bsF0VvTu9o Who is the Boss?]]" from ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie''. Not sung by the villain himself, but it's sung to praise how much of a powerful man the Duke of Zill is. Plus he introduces the song by saying a few interesting lines. [[spoiler:Have your fun, as long as I ''let you'' have fun!]]
** ''Felix the Cat Saves Christmas'' has the Professor sing "It's Not Easy Being Mean".
* The closest thing to a villain song in ''WesternAnimation/ThePhantomTollbooth'' is "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m76PFLg5jpc Don't Say There's Nothing To Do In The Doldrums]]" performed by the Lethargians, a group of lazy, monotonic, slimy creatures who encourage Milo to be lazy like them so they can eat him.
* The Titans from ''WesternAnimation/HerculesAndXenaTheAnimatedMovieTheBattleForMountOlympus'' had their own song about how they where gonna get revenge and cause chaos and how they were [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyrS_1Gac1M "the best"]]. It's even annoying to characters IN the film!
* A ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' movie, one about Daniel and the Lion's Den, where the wisemen (played by three Scallions) sing a song called "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8gXqwu0IM Oh No! What We Gonna Do?]]" where they plot Daniel's downfall. Their techniques get sillier as they go on, and they're soon talking about using him as a "table to play Scrabble on" which leads into a great rhyme of Babylon.
** Then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0Ho2EgvwY "The Bunny Song"]] in "Rack, Shack, and Benny", about idolizing a chocolate rabbit. This one caused a lot of controversy, and the creators use a rewritten version of the song on [=CDs=] and sing-along tapes. Amusingly, the back up singers have the same verses, with the main baddie scolding them and warning that they'll get tummy aches..
** The French Peas taunt the Hebrews in the desert with the catchy "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXM2o_Hb9Ls Keep Walking]]" in "Josh and the Big Wall."
** The villainess of ''Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed'' get her own self-titled song in which she explains her nature to the citizens of Bumblyburg, who [[FridgeLogic oddly still readily believe the rumors she spreads]].
** In "Esther, the Girl Who Would be Queen", Haman sings to the king about the supposed threat of the Jews in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKdWWHL6BnI surprisingly dark song]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zqWJ4zfhOI Ruber gets a self-titled song]] in ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' where he proclaims Camelot as his while standing behind a glowing green pit. During the song he throws his minions and weapons into the pit, combining them into partially metallic monsters with weapons for hands.
** Of course, he also throws a goofy-looking chicken in there, too. And works it into the song. [[NightmareRetardant "And now this chicken... can kill!"]]
*** [[Literature/TheSwordOfTruth This was no chicken. It was evil manifest.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'''s villain's song, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8gcz4IOyJM Wonderful Me]]", may be short (less than a minute), but it manages to not only get across her motive but her LargeHam tendencies in one swoop. The extended version throws in some BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad for good (bad?) measure.
* TreacherousAdvisor Preminger from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePrincessAndThePauper'' gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6m-4Up2vawHow Could I Refuse]]", complete with DarkReprise.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheIslandPrincess'', EvilMatriarch Queen Ariana has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6HbzWFE2Zk Love is for Peasants]]".
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', SpoiledBrat Malucia gets "I Want It All."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'' singalong special the main villainess sings "I Hate Koalas".
* ''WesternAnimation/FreddieAsFRO7'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3bnNQPgo0 Evilmania]]", sung by the villainess Messina. It features such things as ''dancing Nazis and KKK members'' (in a film marketed to ''children'', no less!).
* ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo's Christmas Carol'' has its own representation with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJBU95pVmw We're Despicable]] sung by the grave robbers.
* The first ''Literature/PippiLongstocking'' animated film has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhGfgX_P-5I A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth]]" sung by Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giVEorC-NOc "Intelligence"]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish Help! I'm a Fish]]''. For bonus points, it's sung by Creator/AlanRickman.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vAp_qgtFjA "Two Heads Ain't Better Than One"]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gallavants}}''.
* The parts of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNX-eLp1Tdo this song]] that the Queen Bee sings and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThhLBepgpxY "Tough Guys"]] from ''Katy the Caterpillar''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has one near the beginning, during the introduction to the villain Zigzag. It's only three lines long, but it sticks in your head quickly:
-->''Have no fear/have no fear/Zigzag the grand vizier is here!''
* In ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', Kim Jong Il's soulful song is a parody of a VillainousLament "[[FriendlessBackground I'm so ronery]]" and makes even less sense when [[spoiler: he turns out to be an alien cockroach]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipN8f_o9ggo 'A Crooked Man']] from the 1997 version of ''WesternAnimation/BabesInToyland'', half of which would be a TheVillainSucksSong if Barnaby [[InsultBackfire didn't love being wicked.]]
** ThoseTwoBadGuys and, by extension, the Goblins get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf-YK1qhPHo 'The Worst is Yet to Come']]
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' features a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axbUCR1nKRA theme song]] by Pharell Williams that's all about the DiabolicalMastermind VillainProtagonist.
* Rudolph the Movie did have the great VillainSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWP5plewGY0 "I Hate Santa Claus"]]. It's obviously the best song in the entire movie.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Asterix}} Asterix And Cleopatra]]'' cartoon movie have a song by the two villains, Artifis and Krukhut, called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55k3v5NWgLc The Arsenic Cake Song]]. It is not a song about their villainy, but about the preparation of a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin poisonous cake]], which they use to frame the protagonists for attempted murder.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} 2'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_QiutTgjTw The Grand Design]]'' for Niju, well, sort of. Niju and Nava are the lead singers and Niju has most of the lines. His lines are also quite villainous in nature, showing his motivation, so it qualifies.
* The Good, The Bad, and The Huckleberry Hound has "Gold, Gold, Gold" performed by the Dalton Brothers.
* Nigel, the DragonInChief in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', gets ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFj4QTjFV_w Pretty Bird]]'', where he explains his backstory as a show bird and how he's now a murderous CardCarryingVillain. It was written in part by Nigel's voice actor, [[FlightOfTheConchords Jemaine Clement.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbRgr4dt6I To coincide with the release of Angry Birds Rio, they also made it a crossover with the Angry Birds]], with a few words changed of course.
** In the sequel, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNc_AAyjFdk it's one]] that begins with "[[WaxingLyrical I Will Survive]]" (given how villains have a thing for StayingAlive...) and goes original at times. All taking Clement's ham to full effect.
** The sequel also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=894idIlso5M&list=UU6FGputahs3Mbxp7DtZg_aA&index=5 "Poisonous Love"]], a strange mix of this and VillainLoveSong sung by Nigel's [[PerkyFemaleMinion Perky Female]] [[TheDragon Dragon]] Gabi the Poison Dart Frog (voiced by [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Kristin Chenoweth]], so you know it's good). In it, she laments that she loves Nigel dearly but they cannot touch because she's poisonous [[spoiler:except not really]]. It doesn't ''sound'' like a VillainSong at first, but then...
-->'''Gabi:''' But darling I'll protect you! I will! Don't worry, just chill! 'Cause there isn't a bird that I wouldn't '''[[{{Yandere}} KILL]]''' [[{{Yandere}} for you!]]
* Queen Scheherazade from "Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time" has "Being Mean is My King of Fun".
* Buxton from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Dougal and the Blue Cat]]'' has ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yStSP6B7I I am King]]''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' has one for the Once-ler, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmrPn1CnzY "How Bad Can I Be?,"]] justifying his thneed business ruining the environment.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpgUQYARIsw "Biggering"]], an early version of the song is even more impressive.
* [[ManiacMonkeys Captain Gutt]] in the fourth ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' film gets "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YA2nU5CatY Master of the Seas]]'', where he and his crew try to encourage the heroes to join his ship.
** A less obvious case is ''Food glorious food'' sung by the vultures in the second movie, less obvious because they are indirectly trying to off the protagonists while singing it.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxrgITwxzMg That's What It Takes to Rule]]" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndThePea''.
* The Secrets of Anastasia has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZyDg2oikbQ Prince Charmless]]".
* "It's Payback Time" from The Adventures of Brer Rabbit.
* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat: The Movie'' has the Patbot 9000, controlled by [[GreaterScopeVillain Edwin Carbunkle]], perform a DarkReprise of the show's theme, entitled "Special Delivery".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHappyCricket'' has "Majesty Rap"
* I Must Have My Night is The Secretary of Night's song from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicAdventuresofMumfie Mumfie's Quest]]'' that eventually didn't make the cut. It was also sung by the man behind Jafar, Jonathan Freeman!
* The "[[Literature/TheSuicideShop Tuvache Family's Song]]", while no villains per se, the song talks about how happy they are to help their clients as much as they can (to kill themselves).
* Lion of Oz got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8bmaNkLiHY Wicked Ways]] sung by the Wicked Witch of the East
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' has a trio of singing [[EnthrallingSiren Sirens]] as villains, so naturally they would have not just one, but '''several''' villain songs. In order, those are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvcf_euRdg "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)"]] (which they use to sow discord in the school), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKhEVBaIVrQ "Under Our Spell"]] (about their hypnotizing powers), and (partially) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfqhLM_k60c "Welcome to the Show"]], which is a dueling song with the heroes.
** Minor villain/annoyance Trixie gets one, too, with "Tricks Up My Sleeve". We only hear the chorus in the movie, but there's a full-length version on the soundtrack and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEKu8L5UqQ an official music video]].
** Not quite a straight example since the character is definitely a good person, but Human Rainbow Dash has had little enough of her pony counterpart's CharacterDevelopment that her own song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM0p7ETnBg4 "Awesome as I Wanna Be"]] has definite similarities.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'' has "Unleash the Magic", which is about [[spoiler:Principal Cinch]] forcing Human Twilight to [[spoiler:release the magic she has collected in order to give Crystal Prep an advantage]], since for all intents and purposes, she is the true villain of the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'''s Bog King, though not exactly a villain, still gets one in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toji0oM9HM8 "T-R-O-U-B-L-E"]].
** And it gets better with his version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJD93UQ2F9E "Mistreated"]].
** The real villain [[spoiler: Roland]] gets the song [[spoiler: "C'mon Marianne" by Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypvR4yVVXw "He is Dave"]] from the ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' movie, which parodies the Villain Songs in ''Film/JamesBond'' movies. Similar to the ''Hoodwinked!'' example, while the song is not sung in the actual movie, you can hear some of the instrumental part in the scene where Dave arrives at New York City.
* In ''WesternAnimation/CandyLandTheGreatLollipopAdventure'', Lord Licorice sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6umEUimZ3c Licorice Land]] as he tells his {{Mooks}} how he's going to take over Candy Land. It's not exactly NightmareFuel, but it sure is one ''heck'' of an EarWorm.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnTaQTb0TeI More]] from the Golden Films version of ''Beauty and the Beast'', sung by Beauty's three selfish sisters.
* In the Spanish CGI animated film "Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el cachondo" (based in one of the most popular comic book series in Spain), Jimmy, the main villain, sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwS_H32UDbI "Canción del boum"]] which explains his evil plan: Destroy the base of the T.I.A., the secret organization that tries to capture him, with an atomic bomb. The song is a parody of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPbM7Co8CY Boum]] by Charles Trenet.
* The Jester from ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfOzDorothysReturn'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PPnoqV-S80 Jester]], in which he sings about how he despises his sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, for making him a jester, and how he aspires to gain power. Interestingly, the last stanza of the song seems to indicate that he does ''somewhat'' enjoy being a VillainousHarlequin. He also sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a1JfMCxbMQ Candy Candy]] when he changes [[LevelAte Candy County]]'s sign to ''encourage'' people to eat its candy. .
* The ''Franchise/MonsterHigh'' special ''Boo York, Boo York'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm2HfENXElc "Empire"]], sung by Ramses and Nefera de Nile about their plan to unite with another powerful Egyptian family to TakeOverTheWorld.
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gstRzkg8ZX0 ''According to plan'']] is a debatable case as both the Van Dorts and the Everglots sing about getting what they want by marrying off their children without their consent and the Everglots go as far as insulting Victoria.
* The 1987 animated television film adaptation of ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Through the Looking Glass]]'' gave a song for the Jabberwock, the Bandersnatch, and the Snark called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weoHZPIx1YU "We're Bad"]] (song begins at 2:06 in the video). The song is mostly about the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch boasting about how despicable they are. While the Snark also contributes a little to the song, his meek claims of also being vile are met with the Jabberwock and the Bandersnatch insulting him and dismissing him as a "wimp who simply is absurd".
* The Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfyDp5WGuFQ I Go Looney]] which was adapted from the original graphic novel.

You mean "graphic" novel. Just novel would imply that the original story was a literary work, which it wasn't.
