*** The upbeat, show-stopping "Dance Again", in which a newly reborn, [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]], [[EvilIsSexy sexy]] Voldemort tap dances and leads a Death Eater kickline. [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan Voldemort and Quirrell]] also have the duet "Different As Can Be" where they sing about what an OddCouple they are as a pair of villains, and a cheerful reprise after they've done some [[FriendshipMoment serious bonding]].

Added Nerdy Prudes Must Die and fixed the red links under Spies Are Forever.


** ''Music/SomebodysGottaDoIt'' introduces the main antagonist of the show, the Deadliest Man Alive [[spoiler: who is secretly Curt's thought-to-be-dead lover Owen]] and characterizes him as a ruthless killer who takes delight in "making people bleed."
** While the song '''Music/NotSoBad'' is cheery and fun, it IS sung by [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis trying to convince the protagonist that Hitler was in the right.]] So... villain song.
** ''Music/TortureTango'' shows the Deadliest Man Alive having an amazing time as he tortures Agent Curt Mega, relishing in every bit of pain he inflicts on him. [[spoiler: It's made more clear in retrospect that the Deadliest Man, aka Owen Cavour, is getting his revenge in this song. It parodies the trope of the vaguely erotic torture/interrogation scene]]

Added DiffLines:

** ''Theatre/NerdyPrudesMustDie'' also takes place in the same town and has a few Villain Songs too. Firstly, there's the song "Literal Monster", about main villain [[JerkJock Max Jägerman]] - while the first part is a TheVillainSucksSong, the second part has [[CardCarryingVillain Max gleefully join in.]] Max gets another in the title song "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" after he's become a ghost. In Act 2, [[spoiler:The Lords In Black get their song after they're summoned to help deal with Max, aptly titled The Summoning]], and finally there's a reprise of Nerdy Prudes Must Die - [[spoiler:Dirty Dudes Must Die, sung by Grace after she begins to use the Black Book for her own goals.]]

* Parodied in ''Theatre/TheMikado'' with "I've Got a Little List". The scary executioner gets a Villain Song, in which he rattles off a LongList of AcceptableTargets whom he intends to kill -- and in the next dialogue scene, we learn he's a spineless wimp who is terrified of killing. Except that the executioner is more of an AntiHero. The primary villain song is probably "Your revels cease - O Fool, that fleest my hallowed joys", sung by Katisha.

* From ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'', "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore [[DoubleEntendre Crabs]]". ''Front step, cha-cha-cha...'' There's just something about that one line that screams "you're walking into the serpent's lair". Creator/MichellePfeiffer even said she signed on for this one song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCW-iFgUbKY It's not hard to see why.]]
