History VillainSong / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/EmmetOttersJugBandChristmas'' has the Riverbottom Nightmare Band singing an eponymous song. Lyrics include "We don't brush our teeth, 'cuz a toothache can help us stay mean" and "We break up your place / We are dangerous when we are near". The song actually fits into the plot because it is an entry in the local TalentContest.

* ''Series/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents2017'':
** In "The Bad Beginning: Part 1", Count Olaf and his acting troupe sing "[[https://youtu.be/czqhyVGdYiE It's the Count]]", a very comical, over-the-top song that consists of Olaf showing off his massive ego, while also making it clear that he intends to steal the Baudelaires' fortune.
--->''Who else has such robust good lucks in such a large amount?''\\
''I'm handsome and I'm talented and love your bank account!''
** In "The Ersatz Elevator: Part 1", Larry tries to convince Olaf to sing a song, in a desperate attempt to [[WeNeedADistraction distract him]]. After refusing a few times, Olaf reluctantly complies and sings a catchy song called "[[https://youtu.be/ODU34hYxWLI Keep Chasing Your Schemes]]". As Olaf is in disguise (as a FunnyForeigner, no less), the song seems like a typical motivational song on the surface, but the lyrics contain some not-so-subtle hints of Olaf's true intentions (which, of course, nobody picks up on.)
--->''No one's going to hand you''\\
''A fortune on a plate''\\
''You've got to open wide''\\
''Put your mouth around the bait''\\
''You gotta keep chasing your schemes''\\
''Keep chasing your schemes''
** In "The Carnivorous Carnival: Part 1'', Olaf sings "[[https://youtu.be/PU4lE62_nUg Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the House of Freaks]]" as he, disguised as a ringmaster, sings about TheFreakshow. Although, unlike the previous two songs, Olaf doesn't sing about his villainous goals in this one, he does mock the freaks in [[KickTheDog gratuitously cruel ways]], and the song and visuals are just as bombastic as you'd expect. CreepyCircusMusic is in full effect here.
--->''Welcome, welcome, welcome to the house of freaks!''\\
''You'll never find such weirdos in the oddest of boutiques!''

* The Spanish sitcom "Aída" has an example in episode 100. In this episode the character Mauricio Colmenero, a fascist and greedy innkeeper, sings [[http://www.telecinco.es/aida/especiales/Mauricio-Colmenero-cabron_2_1310430126.html "Soy un cabrón"]] in this song he boasts that he has no moral and that he will do anything for money. This song is played after he explains to his employees that he made a pact with the mayor in which he will gain a lot of money if he betrays his neighbors cheating them to sing a contract where they agree to leave their homes and let their district to be demolished to build a highway.

* ''Series/WandaVision'': [[spoiler: When Agatha Harkness reveals her true colors to Wanda, she does so by promptly putting on a ''Series/TheMunsters''-esque [[https://youtu.be/P8u8md-NiHM theme song]], allowing her to show off the ways she's inserted herself into Wanda's life and manipulated things behind the scenes.]]

* ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhzN7SfnNeY "I'm the Villain in My Own Story"]] from the main character, Rebecca, as she's coming to her HeelRealization. The song is a ShoutOut do Disney style villain songs, and particularly to [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula's "Poor Unfortunate Souls"]], sharing many similarities with it.

* The direct-to-video show ''Series/TheAdventuresOfTimmyTheTooth'' had the grinch-like Cavity Goon, who got his own song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy6fYqKkd7s here]] (NOTE: Despite the video's title, these are not the Muppets).
