->''"Wrestling/{{Shelton|Benjamin}}, Shelton's a little bitch!"''
-->-- '''Wrestling/ChrisJericho''', ''Wrestling/WWERaw''

Can overlap with VillainSong if it's the villain who boasts about being better than the hero. Compare TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. May also be sung by neutral characters about a HeroWithBadPublicity. It can also be form of ShamedByAMob if the song is [[WhatTheHellHero focused on how the hero had done something bad]].

* In ''Film/{{Grease}}'', "Sandra Dee" is lighter version of this:

* ''Theater/{{Heathers}}''“Yo Girl” is about Veronica’s victims praising her for being just as evil as they are (and sardonically narrating her psychotic ex boyfriend’s ascension towards her bedroom to kill her).

* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'', rank #4 assassin, Margaret Moonlight, spends her entire boss fight singing an incredibly catchy song whit parts insulting our "hero", Travis Touchdown:

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'':

* The page quote refers to a song called "Wrestling/SheltonBenjamin Sucks," which Wrestling/ChrisJericho came up with after tracing the root to his perceived asoflate slump to Shelton beating him for the intercontinental title. But, as you call tell, a lot of thought was not put into the lyrics.

* In the CowboyEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'', the Riders in the Sky get fed up of singing about "Dodgers, brave Duck Dodgers", when the villain is just a theme park animatronic. ([[spoiler: Except it isn't.]])

* Striker in ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' performs a rock ballad aptly titled "Striker's Song", which is filled with lyrics proclaiming how awesome he is and how much more talented he is than Moxxie, [[EvilIsPetty even throwing in a blatant "Moxxie, go fuck yourself"]].

--> '''''Rizzo''': Miss Goody-Two-Shoes makes me wanna barf!''
--> '''''Sandy''': You're making fun of me, Riz?''
--> '''''Rizzo''': Some people are so touchy ...''

* ''Music/MiracleOfSound'': "Duke, You Used To Be Cool" is about how VideoGame/{{Duke Nukem|Forever}} has lost his magic after twelve years in DevelopmentHell, turning into "a fucking pussy hiding behind walls" who gets drunk off one beer.

Dream on, you goddamn pussy.

* The North Korean national anthem at the beginning of ''TheInterview'' is this kind of song about America.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': “Mother Knows Best” feature Mother Gothel ruthless berating Rapunzel’s appearance and intelligence while framing it as her giving Rapunzel a loving bit of brutal honesty

* ''Series/ShamelessUS'': After Fiona [[spoiler:[[YourCheatingHeart leaves her husband]]]] Gus, he writes a TakeThat song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH2d-h5jepE The F Word]]" which his band performs and dedicates to her live in a crowded bar. The lyrics are [[ClusterFBomb about what you'd expect from the title]]. To be fair to Gus, [[WhatTheHellHero she totally deserved it]].

The opposite of TheVillainSucksSong where a song describes how evil the villain is. This trope is about a song that insults a hero. One way to show how cruel and vile a villain can be is singing a song to demoralize a hero, even so demoralizing that the hero will either suffer a HeroicBSOD or it may be a way for the hero [[UnstoppableRage to unleash his righteous indignation against the villain.]]

* ''VideoGame/TheBardsTale'' has a hilariously accidental one. The Bard joins up with a musical group in a tavern, who sing a song about the fearsome Nuckelavee and the total idiot who released it into the world. Said idiot is, unbeknownst to them, the Bard himself.

* ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' has the Phantom of the Bwahpera sing two of these, the second of which is shown in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeQBRjGFx90 Combat trailer]] for the game. {{Take That}}s abound, including one regarding the [[Franchise/MarioKart Blue Shell]].

* Handsome Jack from ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' will get a violin and play horribly with it [[spoiler:after he kills Bloodwing]]. He gets finds it too late and says that the joke would have been funnier if he found it earlier.

This can also include {{Jerkass}}es and [[TheBully bullies]] singing nasty and hurtful songs to good-natured characters, especially if it happens in high school (expect [[TheCheerleader cheerleaders]] to engage in songs like this.) The song can involve the villain ranting about the hero always stopping them from [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]] or complaining about their justice and moral character.

* Jafar from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' loves singing these. Towards the end of the original ''Aladdin'' movie, he sang a short song [[DarkReprise to the tune of]] "Prince Ali" while revealing to Princess Jasmine that Prince Ali is really Aladdin in disguise. In ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', he sang "You're Only Second Rate" to show how inferior Genie's magic is compared to his. Besides Jafar's songs, "One Jump Ahead" establishes how the people of Agrabah view Aladdin as a thief and a nuisance.
* "He's a Tramp" from ''Disney/LadyAndTheTramp'' counts as one of these, although Tramp is really more of a lovable rogue. Peg, the wayward lap dog who sang the tune, even admitted in the lyrics that "I love him" and "I only hope he'll stay that way."
* ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'':

* ''Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'' has [[spoiler:Kovu]] "booed" off of Pride Rock as all of the animals sing "One of Us"; the song denotes that [[spoiler:he]] has been banished. The entire song is practically a lyrification of TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, as it would relate to [[spoiler:Kovu]], even though its entire premise is based on [[spoiler:an erroneous assumption]]. This is because Simba believes that [[spoiler:Kovu]] attempted to [[spoiler:ambush him]] while the two had a friendly chat on a trek through the jungle.

* ''Disney/{{Moana}}'': the second half of Tamatoa's VillainSong "Shiny" is about him pointing out all the weaknesses of Maui in an attempt to BreakThemByTalking - while also physically [[CurbStompBattle beating him to pulp]].
* ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'': “Mother Knows Best” feature Mother Gothel ruthless berating Rapunzel’s appearance and intelligence while framing it as her giving Rapunzel a loving bit of brutal honesty
