** It isn't clear [[RewatchBonus on a first viewing]], but the songs "More" and "Sooner or Later" tease how their FemmeFatale/AntiVillain singer is scheming to drive the hero into being her lover and take over Big Boy's criminal empire.

** The first film, focusing on Hell, features...
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bwSbeeTVU 666]]," where [[MouthOfSauron the Ticket-Keeper]] warns the newly arrived damned that they'd better not brake any of the 666 rules of Hell, ''or else''.
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCMnf3N4V4I Kiss the Girls]]" is a brief song for Hell's resident SexyJester Wick, as she tries to seduce the unfairly damned John.
*** The Twin gets "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQS7OE6l2p0 Beautiful Stranger]]" to showcase both his temptation of Ms. Merrywood and his VoluntaryShapeshifting chops. It's sung by both their actors as the Twin shifts back and forth between his original form and a double of her. After Merrywood fails the test, her punishment is narrated by the Hobo Clown in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3my69kcsJQ A Penny for a Tale]]."
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH8ulvA99n4 Trust Me]]" for the Scorpion, showing off his temptation of the dangerously naive Tamara. After she fails ''her'' test, Painted Doll narrates her damnation with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5wclRQJK70 Prick! Goes the Scorpion's Tale]]."
*** The GrandFinale is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQdIJtuRrGU Grace for Sale]]" for [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] himself, though it's more of an AntiVillain song as it's about his plan to renovate Hell into a place of rehabilitation rather than torment and in doing so "put Heaven out of business."
** ''Film/AlleluiaTheDevilsCarnival'' switches focus to Heaven and includes...
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Gr4L6ypxk All Aboard]]," where [[PropagandaMachine The Publicist]] introduces "Heaven Studios" with what seems to be a lighthearted song-and-dance-man number but definitely has a sinister undercurrent.
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W80ugBiD5kU Only By Design]]" for [[DirtyOldMan the lecherous Designer]], who outlines his personal philosophy while sexually harassing his employees.
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eesYEZ3pp5Q Good Little Dictation Machines]]," a step-by-step guide to "enhanced interrogation" compliments of [[StateSec The Translators]]. Its visuals include a torture device that forces its victims to [[CrossesTheLineTwice spontaneously bitchslap each other in the face]].
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KytF0yApjyk The Watchword's Hour]]," a [[EvilIsHammy cackling ode]] to {{Immoral Journalis|t}}m by a sleazy paparazzo angel.
*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MIGRX1AVKo Hitting On All Sevens]]" for [[MiddleManagementMook The Librarian]], in which he sings the praises of Heaven's repressive FantasticCasteSystem [[InfoDump and thereby exposits to the audience about it]].
*** Last but certainly not least, [[GodIsEvil The Author]] gets "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccgVkEP4hLs Bells of the Black Sunday]], where He gloats about turning loose natural disasters on unbelievers [[{{Hypocrite}} while simultaneously praising Himself for being supposedly so kind and merciful]].
