| 7 | Creator/{{Disney}} is no stranger to musicals, but often, [[VillainSong the songs sung by the villains of these movies]] are seen as some of the most memorable. Here are some examples: |
| 8 | ---- |
| 9 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | !!Films |
| 12 | |
| 13 | [[folder:Traditional Animation]] |
| 14 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': |
| 15 | ** "Be Prepared". Just to drive the point home, the chorus of hyenas backing Scar through this song up march in formation at one point, in a manner [[PuttingOnTheReich based on footage of a real-world Nazi rally]]. Furthermore, most Villain Songs involve the villain's evil laughter at the end. This one trumps them all, with not just Scar and his TerribleTrio laughing, but about 200 OTHER hyenas joining in with them. Just take a look at the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0dxn40r_c original English version]]. |
| 16 | ** "Be Prepared" originally had a reprise that was cut from the final film, that was to be sung as Scar took the throne. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3sUFeCQG1U here]]. |
| 17 | *** Also worth noting, is this one was primarily for the Hyenas, as it was their introduction to the pride and they have far more lines than Scar. |
| 18 | *** That clip is actually taken from a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl8gDjaHWWA much longer cut scene]] where Scar decides to take Nala as his queen and informs her through a slightly salsa-like variation of "Be Prepared". After she slaps him mid-song, he decides to banish her from the kingdom. (cue the above reprise). |
| 19 | ** In the sequel ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJGqxf86cZs My Lullaby]]" takes up this role. |
| 20 | ** The Broadway production of ''Theatre/TheLionKing'' adds [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqUbkD-uAp8 "The Madness of King Scar",]] from his catastrophic reign over Pride Rock. [[VillainousBreakdown He's]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating lost]] [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty it]]. |
| 21 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': |
| 22 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBXU8-P5EY4 "Prince Ali]] [[DarkReprise (Reprise)"]] in the first movie. In fact, there were 5 separate songs made for Jafar, and all but one were cut. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9vXZncjGvk Humiliate the Boy]]'', where Jafar [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin does what the title suggests]] (cut when it was decided that the Genie could only grant three wishes). ''My Time Has Come'', where Jafar recounts how hideous his life has been and how he is going to make everyone else miserable (cut for being too slow and introspective). ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7YbpeIvQSw Why Me]]'' was basically the same as ''My Time Has Come'' (cut because the directors felt it didn't advance the story enough, they also wanted something with a big chorus; kept in the musical adaptation). And ''[[https://youtube.com/watch?v=CKzH9MjvG2w My Finest Hour]]'', where Jafar pulls the earth into a ball and bats it around with the Genie (cut because the directors decided it was too late in the movie for an extended showstopper for the villain). Instead, the "Prince Ali (Reprise)" is a trim ditty that makes dramatic sense with Jafar turning Aladdin's entrance song into a sweet revenge where the sorcerer revels in having the upper hand. |
| 23 | *** The [[Theatre/{{Aladdin}} stage version]] added "Diamond in the Rough," sung by both Jafar, Iago, ''and'' Aladdin as the former two manipulate the latter into entering the Cave of Wonders. |
| 24 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYyO44U2BQ4 "You're Only Second-Rate"]] from the sequel ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar''. Jafar sings to Genie bragging about how much more powerful he is now with his own genie powers, and how much shabbier Genie's are by comparison. |
| 25 | *** Iago gets "I'm Lookin' Out For Me" from the same sequel. Subverted in that he's not particularly villainous here, but he ain't exactly a good guy yet either. |
| 26 | ** And the second sequel, ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' has two. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm8NgB5XGIA "Welcome to the Forty Thieves"]], which has the Forty Thieves initiating Aladdin into their group (and threatening him with ''death'' if he doesn't follow their rules), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY5q01fTceQ "Are You In Or Out?"]], in part a DarkReprise of the former, in which the villain Saluk convinces the few remaining thieves to betray their former leader. |
| 27 | * ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' has "Who's Been Painting My Roses Red?", a DarkReprise of the previous song in the film, "Painting the Roses Red". The Queen of Hearts is introduced with the song as sees through the card soldiers' ruse. After they blame each other, she orders for them to be executed. The responsible soldiers are dragged away while the other surrounding card soldiers sing about their punishment. |
| 28 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': |
| 29 | ** Ursula's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi58pN8W3hY "Poor Unfortunate Souls"]]. Ursula sings to Ariel lying about how despite her reputation as a nasty witch, she's actually a perfectly well-meaning person, and manipulates Ariel into accepting a contract with her. |
| 30 | ** She also gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLS86g3_NYI a less bombastic song]] as she's gloating about her imminent victory. |
| 31 | ** Ursula gets another song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGp1479XJzo Mess With Me]], in the animated series of ''The Little Mermaid''. |
| 32 | *** Ursula wasn't the only villain to get a song in the animated series. When you cast Creator/TimCurry as a recurring villain, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPgFbuIwfN4 you've gotta let him sing!]] |
| 33 | ** In the [[Theatre/TheLittleMermaid stage version]], Ursula also gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEugSRttip0 "I Want the Good Times Back"]]. There's also "Sweet Child" for her pet eels. "Poor Unfortunate Souls" gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ2L5y4ui0A a new reprise]] as well. |
| 34 | *** The workshop tapes for the stage version have TWO more songs for Ursula: "Wasting Away" (bemoaning her current dreary, thin and emaciated [she thinks] state), which was replaced by "I Want the Good Times Back", and "All Good Things Must End" (where she gloats over the frailty of happy endings). |
| 35 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcyhVHrmlMU "Les Poissons"]] is also from ''The Little Mermaid''. Although [[EvilChef Louis]] isn't a flat-out villain, he does try to kill Sebastian, and the song is certainly sadistic enough to qualify. |
| 36 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdvuDPx1ulo "Gonna Get My Wish"]], a deleted song from the sequel, with Morgana singing about her plans to use Melody to steal the trident of King Triton and become better than Ursula in the process. |
| 37 | * Headless Man from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'' is sung by Brom Bones about the Headless Horseman, but because some suspect him of being the Horseman... |
| 38 | * Professor Ratigan got two: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP8QdFttugg "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOnG4BzRzPs "Goodbye So Soon"]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''. |
| 39 | ** Bonus point that we got [[LargeHam Vincent Price]] voicing the "very large mouse" himself and that [[WordofGod he personally said]] that he really enjoyed the role because he was flattered that Ratigan's songs were specifically written for him. |
| 40 | ** In the French version, in which he is dubbed by another, though not worldwidely known celebrity — namely French singer Gérard Rinaldi — he got a third song — well, an alternate version of the second. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHbVEJIQmkw "Bye Bye Déjà"]] does have the same tune as "Goodbye So Soon", but the lyrics are not a translation of the lyrics of "Goodbye So Soon" and the instrumental's totally new. |
| 41 | ** Bonus points for Ratigan shooting one of his associates during the first song without a second thought. |
| 42 | *** Let's not forget what he did to the one drunk mouse who messed up and called him a rat instead of a mouse..... |
| 43 | ** Even ''more'' bonus points come his way when you consider the movie is not a musical and these are the ''only two moments in the film'' where characters break out into song[[note]]There's also the showgirl, but it's a prerehearsed song number[[/note]]. Normally that would make them seem [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment incredibly out of place]], but they just fit Ratigan's personality so well the whole thing works spectacularly. Especially because it's quite clear he forces them to sing "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind". |
| 44 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'': |
| 45 | ** Kaa's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCX5JJwkZhU "Trust In Me"]]. |
| 46 | ** Shere Khan also had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMSQfxDLc4k cut song]]. |
| 47 | *** In the movie, he had one sung line, at the end of the vultures' song "That's What Friends Are For". And it ''has'' to count as a Villain Song, so awesome is that line and delivery. The fact that it ends on a note two full octaves below middle C doesn't hurt. |
| 48 | *** He sings "Your Unexpected Friend" in the ScreenToStageAdaptation. |
| 49 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGL9B_TPTI "Hellfire"]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', where KnightTemplar Frollo declares in relatively unsubtle terms that he [[ObsessionSong lusts for Esmeralda, and that if she will not have sex with him, he will burn her alive]]. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Because this is a family movie.]] |
| 50 | ** It was subtle enough that most kids didn't get it until they were older, though the image of Esmeralda in the fireplace and the monks in red cowls were amply terrifying nonetheless. |
| 51 | ** "Hellfire/Dark fire/Now, gypsy, it's your turn/Choose me or/Your pyre/Be mine or you will burn". It's a DarkReprise of the opening song, "Bells of Notre Dame", and it comes right after Quasimodo sings his own song about how he's fallen in love with Esmeralda (Heaven's Light). |
| 52 | *** It's particularly chilling because, unlike most Disney villains, [[ObliviouslyEvil Frollo doesn't even begin to think he's bad]]. He's not only evil -- he's deluded and scared and angry, as opposite to the usual gloating most villain songs exhibit. |
| 53 | *** Consider that Heaven's Light and Hellfire are actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyPpW22-7iI one continuous piece]], and that both are about how the singer has fallen for Esmerelda. Also consider that the two songs are bridged by priests singing the first few lines of the ''Confiteor'', a Catholic prayer for confession of sins, and that excerpts of the ''Confiteor'' are used as OminousLatinChanting during Hellfire, whose main lyrics are Frollo's way of saying that he's above everyone else and that his lust isn't his own fault. There are a ''lot'' of things that make Hellfire work. |
| 54 | ---->'''Frollo''': [[NeverMyFault It's not my fault]]! (''[[ItsAllMyFault Mea culpa]]'')/I'm not to blame./It is this gypsy girl, this witch who set this flame! (''Mea maxima culpa!'') It's not my fault! (''Mea culpa'')/If in God's plan (''Mea culpa'')/[[RageAgainstTheHeavens He made the Devil so much stronger than a man]]! (''Mea maxima culpa!'') |
| 55 | *** Incidentally, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic rated Hellfire as ''the'' greatest villain song of all time in his list of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoJsb2vgWGY The Top 11 Villain Songs]]. |
| 56 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gZ0OgA_8G0 "Gaston"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f3hFq2crOo "Gaston (Reprise)"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCENkwPiuU0 "The Mob Song"]] in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. |
| 57 | ** In the stage version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodWxkz9cTg "Me"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTvBcwB-vM "Maison des Lunes"]] (the latter comes when he plots to institutionalize Maurice) also qualify as these. "Me" is an example of the unconscious villain, as it's Gaston stating the facts of ''his'' little universe -- which are that he's the best and he deserves his dreams to come true, because he's every woman's dream. "Maison des Lunes" is more straightforward, in that it involves wrongfully imprisoning a weak old man so Gaston can marry his willful daughter -- and ''relishing'' every minute of it. |
| 58 | ** The musical version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLLrONF9ct8 "Gaston (Reprise)"]] includes a few new lines at the end, which involve Lefou and Gaston [[CardCarryingVillain singing about how devious and evil he is]], flat-out stating that he knows how terrible his actions are, but that he doesn't care so long as he gets his way. |
| 59 | --->'''Gaston:''' Yes I'm endlessly, wildly resourceful...\ |
| 60 | '''Lefou:''' As down to the depths you descend!\ |
| 61 | '''Gaston:''' I won't even be mildly remorseful...\ |
| 62 | '''Both:''' Just as long as I (you) get what I (you) want in the end! |
| 63 | ** It's also a bonus in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNeNGkGtv68 Australian version]] because he's played by Hugh Jackman. |
| 64 | *** The original version of the Gaston song has the additional part at the end where Lefou tries to spell Gaston's name but gives up. |
| 65 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'' has one for the Royal Court Composer, [[Creator/TimCurry Maestro Forte]], who was changed into an OminousPipeOrgan from the enchantment and wanted to stay that way, sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0C8sL89YYo Don't Fall in Love]]" in order to dissuade Beast from having any feelings for Belle. Oh, and this is another one like ''Hellfire'' in some of its lyrics; just be glad that kids can't listen or understand it as well as they can when they're older. |
| 66 | --->You'll go to pot,\ |
| 67 | You'll turn to drink,\ |
| 68 | You'll never rest,\ |
| 69 | You'll end up mad\ |
| 70 | And looking like some poor demented dove!\ |
| 71 | Don't Fall in Love! |
| 72 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZAY-78zhmw "Friends On The Other Side"]] by voodoo villain Dr. Facilier in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', which is a delicious slice of evil hammy charlatan showmanship courtesy of Creator/KeithDavid. The first part of the song is a straight-up VillainSong, where Facilier sings about who he is and what he does. The second part is more expositionary, dealing with the lives of the ones he's singing to. The last third is atmospheric, backing the [[ForcedTransformation transformation]]. |
| 73 | ** Then there's the reprise at the end, when [[spoiler:Facilier's talisman is broken and he is dragged into an open grave by his "friends on the other side".]] |
| 74 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q02TDyiLOoY Freunde im Schattenreich]]'', the German version of this song. |
| 75 | *** Also, the title (Friends in the Shadow Realm). |
| 76 | ** The ImageSong album based on the movie, ''Bayou Boogie,'' gives him three more: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJuIj-DjWdU The Shadow Man]]," "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzwXlLl9NNc Do What I Wanna Do]]," and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=W6gDiv0clOs Love is a Magical Mystery]]." |
| 77 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'': |
| 78 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHAfjgDTiXE "Mine, Mine, Mine"]], at least the parts that aren't sung by John Smith. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2av9SQsMIi8 "Savages"]] is a half-example, as part of the song is sung by the villain for his own selfish motives, although everyone else is singing the same tune out of simple hatred. It's got a very obvious Xenophobia Is Bad lesson. |
| 79 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQGMNacNTzo "Things Are Not What They Appear"]] was given to Ratcliffe in ''WesternAnimation/PocahontasIIJourneyToANewWorld'' as he manages to show that Pocahontas would be a fraud. |
| 80 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zANV9XNwfE4 "Mad Madame Mim"]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone''. |
| 81 | * The Siamese Cats' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdDla0QW844 "We are Siamese"]] from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' is a bit of a special case, as the song itself is the characters' only appearance in the film. It still ends up being one of the most memorable scenes. |
| 82 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' has EvilPoacher [=McLeach=] singing his own version of Home on the Range while driving home. His lyrics are a little... [[BloodKnight different]] than the original's: |
| 83 | -->"Home, Home on the Range, where the critters are [[BoundAndGagged tied up in chains]], [[{{Gorn}} I cut through their sides]], and [[ToThePain I tear off their hides]], and the next day I do it again!" |
| 84 | ** This VillainSong is unique in that there is no sound save [=McLeach=]'s echoing voice and that the only image on screen is of him driving his gigantic truck into the desert. The scene ends within seconds. |
| 85 | ** He gets another brief song near the climax, when he is about to [[FedToTheBeast feed Cody to the crocodiles]], singing about fishing for crocs. |
| 86 | * ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdZcsrtiUac "Yodel Adle Eedle Idle Oo!"]], perhaps not as dark or sinister as some others on this list, but it's hard to dislike a song that features a yodeled version of "Ode to Joy". |
| 87 | ** "Yodel Adle Eedle Idle Oo!" might have been meant as a parody of the archetypical Villain Song, because it starts out in a typically "dark and sinister" manner, then evolves into a cheerful yodeling tune. |
| 88 | * [[https://youtu.be/w6bOWQcsrMk "Petey's King of France"]] from the direct to DVD ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers''. |
| 89 | ** Lampshaded just moments before by the Troubador Turtle. |
| 90 | ---> "When ze bad guy iz zhat happy, it always, always means..." *pulls out tuba* "BAD GUY SONG!!!" |
| 91 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily Movie'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsTi9Cda4KY "Hail to the Peanut King"]] by Evil Dr. Carver. |
| 92 | * One of the first ones! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQjgGMKqt8 Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee!]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} An Actor's Life For Me!]] |
| 93 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Pt5Gyiv50 "Fee Fi Fo Fum"]], Willie the Giant's IAmGreatSong from ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree''. |
| 94 | * Instead of a musical number, Maleficent of ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' gets a Villain Poem, where she mockingly tells the "Literature/SleepingBeauty" fairy tale to the imprisoned Prince Philip, gloating over her victory via SarcasmMode and EvilLaughter. It serves the same purpose as a villain song while being creepily low-key. |
| 95 | ** She did have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwyJR8hdBCM song]], but it was [[CutSong cut]]. |
| 96 | * Near the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'', Edgar the butler can actually be heard singing "Rock A Bye, Baby" while pouring his mistress' sleeping pills into the cats' milk so that they will all fall asleep, therefore allowing him to kidnap them all and leave them all for dead in the French countryside. But then a pair of dogs attack him... |
| 97 | * ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'': |
| 98 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM6lFQG2PUU "The Elegant Captain Hook"]]. |
| 99 | ** There was originally intended to be another song in a different style, that [[CutSong got cut]], called "The Pirate Song". |
| 100 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' has the cut song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=374xW4zZbZA Snuff Out The Light]]" from when the movie was still ''Kingdom of the Sun''. It gives a bit of history of Yzma learning magic from her father and how she believes the sun stole her youth. Then it transitions to her plan of snuffing out the light of the sun to regain her youth and plunge the world into darkness with an army of monsters. |
| 101 | ** The sequel ''Kronk’s New Groove'' has Yzma sing "Feel Like A Million". |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | [[folder:CGI Animation]] |
| 105 | * Mother Gothel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' has ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD_i4hRYd8U Mother Knows Best]]'', which takes on the tone of a demented version of Film/MaryPoppins. This song doesn't gloat about an evil plan, it serves as musical exposition about how Gothel secures her acquired benefits (by gaslighting Rapunzel into obedience in a horrifically realistic fashion). Then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGmGLfBQ32c reprise]]. |
| 106 | * A song for King Candy, explaining how things worked in [[CrapsaccharineWorld Sugar Rush]], was deleted from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' as it didn't feel right for the story. Given that ''Wreck-It Ralph'' is simply ''not a musical'' it was certainly the correct decision. |
| 107 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': |
| 108 | ** Elsa was actually [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally intended]] to be the villain, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk Let It Go]]" would have been her villain song (which explains why the lyrics sound strangely ominous), but when the Lopezes were thinking about how to do it, they came up with a sympathetic angle, turning it more into a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds song, with Elsa happy about being free of the restrictions on her life. This literally got the whole movie rewritten (with some colorful language from the filmmakers) to turn Elsa into a ClassicalAntiHero {{Deuteragonist}}. In short, "Let It Go" is an AntiVillain song. Creator/IdinaMenzel's showstopping performance didn't hurt, either. |
| 109 | ** On repeat viewings, it can be fairly easy to view [[spoiler:"Love Is an Open Door"]] as a one-sided villain song. [[spoiler:Anna is singing about how love conquers all. Hans is singing about how her naive belief in True Love will hand him the kingdom]]. WordOfGod eventually confirmed that it was written as a villain song. |
| 110 | ** Cut, probably replaced by [[spoiler:"Love Is an Open Door"]] is [[spoiler:"You're You", also sung by Hans. In the same way as Open Door, it sounds sweet until his true intentions are revealed and like "Open Door" is also filled with foreshadowing of Hans' true nature (the song is filled with backhanded insults and at one point Hans interrupts Anna)]] |
| 111 | ** "Cool with Me" is a scrapped villain song from when Elsa was the antagonist. In it, Elsa has kidnapped Anna from her wedding and taken her to her ice castle. Elsa sings about how she wants to mend her relationship with Anna and make her "literally cool with her" while Anna is distraught over Elsa's cocky and villainous nature. Elsa [[ThatManIsDead abandons her name]] and instead wants to be addressed as "[[WinterRoyalLady the Snow Queen]]", and wants the rest of her kingdom to fear her. It's also shown that Anna has taken her crown in Elsa's absence. The song ends with Elsa ''intentionally'' freezing Anna's heart so that she will understand how Elsa feels. |
| 112 | --->Poor, pathetic, perfect little queen.\ |
| 113 | Didn't think your sis could be this mean.\ |
| 114 | Now you're on your own, and you're gonna feel as alone as can be.\ |
| 115 | Cool with me, cool with me. |
| 116 | * ''[[Franchise/DisneyFairies Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy]]'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPVvIPykVY The Frigate That Flies]]", where the pirates imagine what they'll do once their ship has been given flight by pixie dust. |
| 117 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93lrosBEW-Q Shiny]]", sung by the vain, treasure-loving giant coconut crab Tamatoa. For extra style points, the second half of the song is sung while he's giving [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Maui]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, with part of it being a musical TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. However, it's worth pointing out that Tamatoa isn't the main villain, that role belongs to Te Ka, who doesn't have a song (in fact, doesn't even speak at all). |
| 118 | -->''Shiny! Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough\ |
| 119 | Strut my stuff, my stuff is so\ |
| 120 | Shiny! Send your armies, but they'll never be enough\ |
| 121 | My shell's too tough!'' |
| 122 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': Ernesto's version of "Remember Me" could be seen as one after it's revealed that his version is a bastardized take on an ''incredibly personal'' father-to-daughter song. |
| 123 | * ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'': "[[https://youtu.be/bFmrzhuVOts?si=5TfrJyyZb49vk21P This Is the Thanks I Get?!]]", sung by King Magnifico after [[spoiler: Asha has inadvertently wished on a star and used magic beyond Magnifico's own. The kingdom begins questioning the king's motives regarding their wishes, and he... well...]] |
| 124 | [[/folder]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | [[folder:Live-Action]] |
| 127 | * Being a film series that stars the children of some of Disney's most iconic villains, ''Film/{{Descendants}}'' naturally has a few. |
| 128 | ** The first film has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGlLe1w3DJM "Rotten to the Core"]], the opening number that introduces our main characters as they cause mischief throughout the Isle of the Lost. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbvd2h0dahY "Evil Like Me"]], wherein Maleficent convinces her doubtful daughter that evil is the path to take. |
| 129 | ** The second film has [[https://youtu.be/_dyvXcv3ej0 "What's My Name?"]], Uma's BadassBoast in song form. China Anne [=McClain=], Uma's actress, also does a cover of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" for the soundtrack. |
| 130 | ** The third film has [[https://youtu.be/r9o1QS-itsU "Queen of Mean"]], a show-stopping number in which [[spoiler:Audrey]] announces her intention to take over Auradon, and Hades' half of [[https://youtu.be/PrL_b__CHrw "Do What You Gotta Do"]], where he tries to convince Mal (and possibly himself) that [[spoiler:abandoning her as a child]] was the best move he could make. Whereas Mal's half is a TheVillainSucksSong. |
| 131 | * ''Film/Disenchanted2022'' has "Badder", a [[LetsDuet duet]] sung by a [[WickedStepmother magically-turned-evil Giselle]] and Monrolasia's [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen Malvina Monroe]] over who is the better villain. |
| 132 | * In the Creator/DisneyChannel original movie ''Film/GirlVsMonster'', when the villainess, Deimata, possesses a supporting character and takes the stage from Skyler, she turns [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me" into a surprisingly rockin' villain song]], ending with her seemingly forgetting that she's not in a musical and reaching into the camera. Unfortunately, we only get to hear a few parts of it. |
| 133 | * ''Film/HocusPocus'' has two! First is Creator/BetteMidler's BigBad Winifred singing the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic show stopping]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDidHzwYu3E "I Put A Spell On You"]], with bonus for actually hypnotizing everyone within earshot. Second is Sarah Jessica Parker singing the haunting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsda4GJuzcQ "Come Little Children"]], bewitching all the children of Salem to their deaths Pied Piper style. |
| 134 | ** In the film, the song is cut about a quarter of the way through. Sensational singer [[https://www.youtube.com/user/katethegreat19 kaththegreat19 / Erutan]] took [[http://themikla.xanga.com/495860348/item/ the poem]] it was based on (written by Brock Walsh, the [[https://dmelhoff.com/blog/who-really-wrote-the-poem-come-little-children/ creator of music for the film]]) and spun it into a ''hauntingly'' beautiful piece that released on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKlsUrfbiE0 Halloween 2009]]. It will leave you shivering. |
| 135 | * ''Film/TheJungleBook2016'' has "I Wanna Be Like You", which, thanks to Louie's AdaptationalVillainy, is now this due to its sinister undertones. |
| 136 | * As Disney's ''Film/MaryPoppins'' didn't have a clear villain, it would seem to be exempt from this rule, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxyB29bDbBA "Fidelity Fiduciary Bank"]] gives it a try anyhow. Mr. Banks and his bosses at the bank are the closest thing ''Mary Poppins'' has to a villain until his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 137 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smMc2s8q5Yk "Temper Temper"]], in the [[Theatre/MaryPoppins stage adaptation]], features the children's toys coming to life, growing larger than the children themselves, and holding the children trial for having lost their tempers -- for, "children who lose their tempers ''lose everything else in the end!''" |
| 138 | *** Unfortunately, this was changed to [[https://youtu.be/iARauSUv9ec?t=6m "Playing The Game"]] on account of "Temper Temper" being too scary for the kids who watched it. |
| 139 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL4V_Hq1hEE "Brimstone and Treacle"]], again from the Theatre/MaryPoppins musical, where George Banks' childhood nanny (and replacement for Mary Poppins), Miss Andrew, explains her philosophy that brimstone and treacle with a good dose of tyranny is the best way to govern children. (Note that there is also a DarkReprise in which Mary comes back, sets Miss Andrew's pet lark free from its cage, and there is a showdown between two singing nannies which results in Miss Andrew having a taste of her very own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq3Oq0YD8p8 brimstone and treacle]] as well as being forced into a giant birdcage and sent [[DraggedOffToHell down below]].) |
| 140 | * ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' |
| 141 | ** Unusually, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsiKOJOXMJU "Marley and Marley"]] (yes, there's two of them just so they could cast JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf. The new one is named [[StealthPun Rob]][[Music/BobMarley ert]]) from ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' is a ''posthumous'' villain song, but still counts. |
| 142 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUbbYX9BMs "A Professional Pirate"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSXciBh8KoY "Shiver My Timbers"]] from ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland''. The former is sung by (for good measure) Creator/TimCurry, and the latter ends with Captain Flint opening fire on his own crew with [[GunsAkimbo two flintlock pistols]]. And this is in a ''Muppet'' film. |
| 143 | ** ''Film/TheMuppets2011'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzmosYjyFcw "Let's Talk About Me,"]] which really has to be seen to be believed. |
| 144 | ** "[[https://youtube.com/watch?v=8bOlBAdPcrI I'm Number One (You're Number Two)]]" in ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'' is a Villain Song Duet between Constantine (criminal mastermind and number one crook) and his associate, Dominic Badguy. It's not only celebrating their intention to pull off a series of heists and frame the Muppets, but Constantine reminding his flunky who's in charge. |
| 145 | *** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeVIdNrGsG4 I'll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)]]" is also performed by Constantine, with him attempting to sweet talk Piggy so she doesn't get suspicious about him. |
| 146 | * Two villains equals four villain songs in ''Film/PetesDragon1977''. The Goguns had two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nmV_QZxbuU "We Got A Bill Of Sale"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rQchSZhl6k "The Happiest Home In These Hills"]] and Dr. Terminus gleefully planned to dissect the title character in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya7mwQYeICQ "Every Little Piece/Money, Money, Money by the pound!"]], while he earlier had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6MZ8nPm5s4 Passamaquaddy]]. |
| 147 | * In ''Film/LemonadeMouth'', [[OpposingSportsTeam rival band Mudslide Crush]] has two songs...which are basically the same "And The Crowd Goes" and "Don't Ya Wish U Were Us?" about how awesome they are. |
| 148 | [[/folder]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[folder:TV series]] |
| 151 | * The Beagle Boys from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' performed two different songs in the episodes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZmxBKoPitk "Time Teasers"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_X_aML1zQ "Beaglemania"]]; their song from the latter episode (which ironically became a MissingEpisode on Creator/ToonDisney) was included on the Disney Afternoon soundtrack. |
| 152 | * ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': |
| 153 | ** Fat Cat's "The Best Of Everything" from the FiveEpisodePilot "To The Rescue". Not to be outdone by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBtteeMJcAI "The Fat Cat Stomp"]], initially performed by Chip and Dale in drag in "Adventures In Squirrelsitting", but later reprised by Fat Cat himself in the next scene. |
| 154 | ** Irweena Allen ("Risky Beesness") has her own song, too ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soBxoR3YUg0&t=5m30s "You're The Best Bee For Me"]]), and Sewernose de Bergerac ("A Case of Stage Blight") joins the Pirates of Peejama performance. In fact, not even the Coo-Koo Cola jingle ("The Case of the Cola Cult") remains untouched by villains. |
| 155 | * In the four-part ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' pilot, Don Karnage reminds his Air Pirate underlings of what they do with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZtTjMRxWRM "Sky Pirates"]]. |
| 156 | ** Karnage and his crew get ''another'' villain song during their appearance in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', praising [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI1RJ6QVXrQ The Fearful Pirate Don Karnage]]. In this case it actually serves an in-universe purpose: [[RefugeInAudacity leave their victims so confused that they can rob them blind without any interference]]. |
| 157 | * The TV series for Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has Hades taking you for a tour of his taken-over city-state in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEZLKE06jmk "My Town"]]. |
| 158 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRU8KLItobU "One Good Man"]] from "Song of Circe" also qualifies, as it's sung by [[TheVamp Circe herself]] and shows her manipulative, deceitful personality very nicely. Also, it's sung by the wickedly talented [[MemeticMutation Adele Dazeem]]...I mean, Idina Menzel. |
| 159 | ** [[MotherOfAThousandYoung Echidna]] gets one called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJxtSliOwHU "What's A Mother To Do?"]]. Unique in that rather than boasting of how evil she is, she's lamenting that her children aren't evil ''enough''. |
| 160 | * HarmlessVillain [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Dr. Drakken]] tells you his life story ''and'' advertises his new product at the same time, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVewEox6GBg his very own rap]]! ''Lather, rinse and OBEY!'' (Caution: Dr. D's Brainwashing Shampoo and Cranium Rinse MayContainEvil...) |
| 161 | * To compensate for her CutSong in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', Yzma gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1G40piqy0 Yzmopolis]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool''. Later, she gets a dueling song in the MusicalEpisode. |
| 162 | * Since ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has songs OnceAnEpisode, Dr. Doofenshmirtz sometimes gets one of these, like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVcSh-RLNjo My Goody Two-Shoes Brother]] from "Tree to Get Ready". |
| 163 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HVobzjJ02Q "MY NAME IS DOOF AND YOU'LL DO WHAT I SAY WHOOP WHOOP!"]]. |
| 164 | ** In the rare case of an ''apathetic'' Villain Song, we have "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hrNGHRmeEs I Really Don't Hate Christmas]]," lamenting his inability to be TheGrinch. |
| 165 | ** Special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClqpcdJ6yKk "It's A Charmed Life"]], set in a BadFuture where he's finally taken over the [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Tri-State Area]]. |
| 166 | ** And from [[MusicalEpisode Rollercoaster: The Musical]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-QxK0fI0ZY Back In Gimmelshtump]]. |
| 167 | ** And in [[TheMovie The]] [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension Movie]] has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1evqEYEeA "A Brand New Best Friend (And It's Me)]] by both Doof and Doof-2. |
| 168 | ** And from Part 1 of the two part special "Where's Perry?", we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH7ui4ABDP0 Evil for Extra Credit]], sung by, surprisingly, not Doofenshmirtz (okay, he provides backing vocals) but Carl, [[FaceHeelTurn turned evil by one of Doof's inators.]] |
| 169 | ** Of all people, ''Norm'' got a cheery song about [[LyricalDissonance gruesomely destroying things]] called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3H18bkKyG8 Weaponry]]. |
| 170 | ** Really, with how expansive the soundtrack is, you won't even find half of this show's villain songs here, and they can fit all sorts of tones, but mostly Broadway. If you're in the mood for a more James Bond-style villain song, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1FqHD4IhPQ Doof's Hideout Vacation Swap]] |
| 171 | ** Or if you're in the mood for West Side Story, here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJwwPxswBM O.W.C.A.'s Goin' Down]] sung by all of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. |
| 172 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbStarWars'' gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSBrUJOg788 In the Empire]]" (sung by Stormtrooper versions of Candace, Buford and Baljeet) and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPygB68g7QA Sith-inator]]" (by "Darthenshmirtz"). |
| 173 | ** [[GrandFinale The last villain song of the show]] also doubles as an Anti-Hero Song with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYvcppG1W34 Tomorrow Is This Morning Again]], with Doofenshmirtz and Candace singing their only duet in the show's soundtrack of hundreds when they realize the awesome power of the [[GroundhogDayLoop Do-Over Inator]]. |
| 174 | * Gideon from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmyJ0hsQnmQ "Widdle Ol' Me"]], a catchy gospel-inspired song, on his first appearance in "The Hand that Rocks the Mabel". It comes with just enough unsettling undertones to demonstrate he's a VillainWithGoodPublicity. |
| 175 | ** The BigBad, Bill Cipher, [[CutSong was also going to get one]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq5sZPPF9ao It's Gonna Get Weird]]" written by Creator/NeilCicierega, in the first part of the GrandFinale, but it ended up getting cut for time. He does sing a segment of "We'll Meet Again" in the final episode, though. |
| 176 | --->''Today’s just so wonderful, I feel like chuckling\ |
| 177 | I feel all fuzzy inside like a duckling...\ |
| 178 | Full of tarantulas! And now that I’m here\ |
| 179 | Tonight, it’s gonna get weird!\ |
| 180 | Ah-ha-ha-ha!\ |
| 181 | \ |
| 182 | Look at these creatures, not enough features!\ |
| 183 | Cats should be breathe fire, bears should sing choir!\ |
| 184 | (Very nice!)\ |
| 185 | Look at this tower under my power!\ |
| 186 | Look at these people, puny and feeble!'' |
| 187 | * The ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "Paraducks" features an Elvis impersonator who does a number bragging about what a great thief he is. At the end of the episode Darkwing does his own heroic reprise about how no criminal is safe from him. |
| 188 | * ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': |
| 189 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-KmyHmLusc Cedric the Great]]" from the episode "Cedric's Apprentice". |
| 190 | ** [[http://youtu.be/dKr3fry97Oc The titular song]] from "Make Way For Miss Nettle". |
| 191 | ** Slickwell has half of one with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GorfmKNgYlE Helping Hand]], Ivy gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrX8BiAVVnU A Kingdom of my Own]], Wendell has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_UdGBq5lNQ Wendell''s Way]], Grotta has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_nndNfh54o This Fliegal has Landed]], Prisma gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAcxhTqe8tE My Power Will be Crystal Clear]], and Vor has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExdeO2Cb_Uk&feature=emb_title Get Wicked]]. |
| 192 | * ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'': |
| 193 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-PYYaoq0fY Ready as I'll Ever Be]]'' sung by Varian, where he acknowledges that what he did was wrong but he does so under the impression that he is will deliver justice to Corona for turning their backs on him when he asked for their help for causing his own father to get crystallized in the first place. |
| 194 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaHBg8E1o00 Crossing the Line]]'' sung by [[spoiler:Cassandra]], in which the singer lays out the resentment she's felt her entire life and her resolve to seize what she thinks is the destiny she deserves even if it means burning bridges with the people in her life. |
| 195 | * ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPnitGbhp5U The Gift of Night]] by [[TheNightThatNeverEnds Orizaba]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjsyYVGVe2w You Can't Catch Me]] by [[NatureSpirit Marimonda]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTb2wZI4eyc Don't Look Now]] by Victor and Carla Delgado, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfiDMjMoFhUindex=54&t=0s The Art of the Steal]] by Saloso, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l4JYUTu1Bs The One and Only]] by Ash Delgado, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uqSnB1FQtU More, More More]] by Tito, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R2PV6mVr8E Four Shades of Awesome]] by well... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Four Shades of Awesome]]. |
| 196 | * ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': |
| 197 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vseNL9qe7sk Let the Pun Fit the Crime]]" from the episode "The Boy Wander", performed by Music/WeirdAlYankovic as [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Dr. Screwball Jones]] as he [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown gives Wander a beating]] unlike anything that [[BigBad Lord Hater]] could ever deliver. |
| 198 | ** Lord Hater himself has one in the form of [[https://youtu.be/pX6tuW8iwaA?t=27 his theme song,]] which while short, he once held an entire planet captive so he can have a four day concert of just that song over and over and over again. |
| 199 | ** And in the MusicalEpisode "My Fair Hatey", we have one from Lord Dominator as she breaks Hater's heart, Wander's banjo, and some planets. Why? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6yZlGoD5rA "I'm the Bad Guy."]] |
| 200 | * Two episodes of ''WesternAnimation/QuackPack'' have one. |
| 201 | ** In "Island of the Not-so-Nice", the MadScientist has a short ditty about how he plans to de-evolve the world so that he can rule and enslave everyone easily. |
| 202 | ** Nestor Nocturno from "None Like it Hot" briefly sings about how everyone on Earth will burn to death once his rocket sends a giant lens to the sun. |
| 203 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' |
| 204 | ** In the PilotMovie ''Return of the Roar'', the Outlanders get "Tonight, We Strike", their song about invading the Pride Lands at night. |
| 205 | ** In the episode "Eye of the Beholder" they get "Out of the Way", about them invading the Pride Lands while the Lion Guard is preoccupied. |
| 206 | ** “Panic and Run” is a third hyena song. |
| 207 | ** Zira from the sequel gets one in "Lions of the Outlands", and the title says it all. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WYpF336pGk "Lions Over All"]] |
| 208 | ** Janja, his hyena clan, and Ushari sing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjJMD1oiDxU Bring Back A Legend]]" as they plot to raise Scar from the dead. |
| 209 | ** Scar has "I Have A Plan" as he recruits Kiburi and his followers to his growing army of Outlanders. He has “When I Led The Guard” in the season 3 opener. |
| 210 | ** Makucha has "The Tree of Life" where he desires to track down the Lion Guard to said tree and feast on the rare, lame, sick and exotic animals that reside there. |
| 211 | * The Glooms have had a couple of villain songs in ''WesternAnimation/The7D'', most of them sung by Hildy, voiced by Kelly Osbourne. A good example of this aired between the two episodes of the GrandFinale [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FTygC-EiVw "I'm not very nice."]] |
| 212 | * ''Series/WandaVision'': TheReveal in “Breaking the Fourth Wall” that [[spoiler: “Agnes” is actually Agatha Harkness and has been manipulating things to create conflict for Wanda all along]] leads into a OnceMoreWithClarity montage of [[spoiler: Agatha manipulating things over the previous seven episodes]] set to a ''Series/TheMunsters''-esque theme song for her fittingly entitled “It Was [[spoiler: Agatha]] All Along”. |
| 213 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': Sasha Waybright gets one in the MusicalEpisode "Battle of the Bands", titled "Heartstomper". In a unique case for this trope, she is aided by the series' main character, Anne Boonchuy, and the more morally ambigous Marcy Wu. |
| 214 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 215 | ** Mr. Burns singing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsFHEK_o9U8 "See My Vest"]] in a parody of ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'''s "Be Our Guest". Bart ends up humming the tune. |
| 216 | ** Also present in the musical episode "The President Wore Pearls", a parody of ''Theatre/{{Evita}}'', with Skinner's "EvilPlan" song (sung in tandem with a hilariously drunken Groundskeeper Willie). |
| 217 | ** A case could also be made for [[AncientConspiracy The Stonecutters]]' "We Do". It certainly fulfills the "best song" part of the equation. |
| 218 | ** In addition to "See My Vest", Burns also got a song on ''Music/TheSimpsonsSingTheBlues'' album, called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwqA_OMaUes "Look at All Those Idiots"]] (the idiots, of course being Burns' employees at the power plant). |
| 219 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QEsjd1WZuY Beware of SCORPIO!/He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth/Beware of SCORPIO!/His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employees' health!"]] |
| 220 | ** In the episode "Marge Gets a Job," we get Smithers' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aLPKCeIqsc tribute song]] to Mr. Burns, a parody of a similar song from ''Film/CitizenKane''. |
| 221 | ** In the Season 24 episode "Gorgeous Grandpa," Mr. Burns sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRrAELby068 "High to Be Loathed,"]] a song about how villains are always the most popular characters in a franchise. |
| 222 | ** What'd I say!? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEZjzsnPhnw MONORAIL!]] |
| 223 | ** Sideshow Bob sings a lot, but he had a good Villain Song in "The Great Louse Detective" called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcmvQVy2wGk "The Very Reason that I Live,"]] where he explained to Bart that he spared him because killing Bart would put him in an unbearable VictoryIsBoring situation. |
| 224 | * ''WesternAnimation/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023'' |
| 225 | ** The Beyonder, in his introductory episode, gets a funky mix of this and an IAmSong to explain how he’s arrived on Earth to study humans. Lunella cuts him off before he can mention how he will be deciding their fate. |
| 226 | ** The Rat King gets one in “Teacher’s Pet” as he tempts the hamster Angel to side with him against Devil. |
| 227 | [[/folder]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 230 | * ''VideoGame/EpicMickey2ThePowerOfTwo'', a musical game, has every musical number focused around the Mad Doctor, who primarily communicates in song and enters the story claiming that he's made a HeelFaceTurn. Songs range from MostDefinitelyNotAVillain material (the opening number ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEihtaHLInk Help Me, Help You]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObY6zdB_ILM The Mad Doctor's Not Mad]]''), to an IWantSong (''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6FS97Pb4wI I'm Falling Apart]]''), and gradually start moving more into proper villain song territory as the Mad Doctor's true intentions start to emerge (''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udxjn6sB97A The Fall of Prescott]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhL7lNPdjaA The Mad Doctor's Diary]]'', and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLIJv3vYCuw World of Evil]]'') |
| 231 | * ''The Jungle Book Groove Party''[[note]]''Rhythm 'N' Groove'' in some versions[[/note]] has two songs for the BigBadEnsemble that is Kaa and Shere Khan. The former gets "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfLoU7h3nDQ&ab_channel=607 A Mood for Food]]" and the latter gets "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da9KgfvaSdo&ab_channel=607 Run]]". It's worth noting that both songs are reminiscent of their villains' musical numbers and background tracks in the movie; "A Mood for Food" is a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to "Trust In Me", while the ending of "Run" brings "Tiger Fight" to mind. |
| 232 | * ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' gives [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]] a new song titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEDmA0Hjgxc "Ursula's Revenge"]] while she's trying to kill Ariel and Eric. |
| 233 | [[/folder]] |
| 234 | |
| 235 | [[folder:Others]] |
| 236 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ1xw0Mfubg "It's Our House Now!"]] from ''WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains'' is a ''mass'' Villain Song, performed by almost every villain from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon up to 2002. |
| 237 | ** They turned [[TheVillainSucksSong "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf"]] into an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCy258R2afA epic jazz tune for the Big Bad Wolf]]. |
| 238 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': |
| 239 | ** "Oogie Boogie's Song", in which Oogie Boogie gloats about having captured Santa and threatens him with death, tries (and fails) to intimidate him, and generally throws his weight around. It's sung by Ken Page, the same fellow who voiced King Gator in ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' and played Old Deuteronomy in the video version of ''Cats''. As such, it's amazing. |
| 240 | ** A second one, for the QuirkyMinibossSquad, is "Kidnap the Sandy Claws." |
| 241 | ** Although Jack is a HorrifyingHero, most of his songs aren't exactly villainous in nature, although the ending of "Jack's Obsession" comes close. In it, Jack decides that the best way to understand Christmas is to try making his ''own'' Christmas, which he announces in a very CardCarryingVillain-esque way. Keep in mind, though, that considering the BlueAndOrangeMorality of Halloween Town, Jack clearly considers this a [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad good]] thing. |
| 242 | ** And then we get an awesome remix/duet between Jack and Oogie Boogie from the game ''VideoGame/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge'', seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8d830kPbxU here]] |
| 243 | *** In fact, there's three remixes/duets of Oogie Boogie's Song in ''Oogie's Revenge'', with the above being the final one. The other two are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLl9hP6qZ7s Oogie's Song]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvYTQZHk0p0 Casino Clash]], plus a remix of Kidnap the Sandy Claws called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj9l6yx7MyQ Hail to Mr. Oogie]]. |
| 244 | *** Also in ''Oogie's Revenge'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOd42IoAXCE Dr. Finklestein]] gets his own song while trying to kill Jack due to being BrainwashedAndCrazy. |
| 245 | * The ''Hallowishes'' show during Halloween at Ride/DisneyThemeParks is made up of several Villain Songs, a few {{The Villain Sucks Song}}s, and a few songs that aren't either, but are close enough. |
| 246 | ** There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3VmwODZkVU "A Pirates Life For Me"]] on the "Pirates of the Carribean" ride, basically just the pirates singing about what they do. |
| 247 | ** "Into the Fire", from the Tokyo Disneyland stage show ''One Man's Dream II''. It's dark, intense, and has ominous lyrics about how the usual "WishUponAShootingStar" and faith in all that is good is ''not'' going to save the listener - they're going to ''burn''. To compound it, the stage show featured the song being performed by the Evil Queen, the Disney Villain who started it all; Maleficent, the Mistress of all Evil herself; and Judge Claude Frollo, who brings with him a sample of his tour de force "Hellfire" (the relative obscurity of "Hellfire" in Disney parks makes this particularly striking). The trio also have hordes of fire demons, spiders, henchmen, and Frollo is also accompanied by the tall, red, hooded figures from his song. |
| 248 | * "Pump Me Up" from ''Theatre/DougLive'' |
| 249 | * "The Mad Doctor's Song" from ''WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor''. |
| 250 | * "You're Nothing But a Nothing" from ''The Flying Mouse''. |
| 251 | * "Get Pluto!" from ''WesternAnimation/PlutosJudgementDay''. |
