** "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.

The second part is more expositionary, dealing with the lives of the ones he's singing to. The last third is atmospheric, backing the [[ForcefulTransformation transformation]].

Not entirely sure about the entry regarding the lyrics for "Fearless" applies.


* In the Creator/DisneyChannel original movie ''Film/GirlVsMonster'', when the villainess, Deimata, possesses a supporting character and takes the stage from Skyler, she turns "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.
** Oddly, the lyrics of the main theme, "Fearless", don't seem to be able to decide if they're from the perspective of the hero or the villain. ("''I’m stuck in your head / I’m back, back from the dead / Got you running and scared / I'm fearless...''")
