History VillainSong / VideoGames

* While not a traditional Villain Song, Hazama's (a.k.a. Yuuki Terumi's) {{leitmotif}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fZOoeHFG6s "Gluttony Fang"]] from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is so awesome it deserves a mention. If ''Blaz Blue'' were a musical, this would definitely be Hazama's big ol' showstopper.
** Same holds true for every one of Hazama's song. No matter what it is, his evil charisma seeps into it. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSYxGIzjzgs this one, for example...]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7kGHF4nH4 There's a vocal version]] and yes, the lyrics do fit as a Villain Song.

* [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] himself isn't the one doing the singing, but his greatness and power are sung in a awesomely over-the-top manner by [[OminousLatinChanting a Latin choir]] in his theme song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7wJ8pE2qKU One Winged Angel]]. Yes, [[TropeNamer that]] [[OneWingedAngel One-Winged Angel]].
** There's also the ''FinalFantasyIX'' song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_6NvlXPzZE Grand Cross]]. While not being sung by Necron himself and not having lyrics at all, this is still a music that contains lot of people screaming in panic and agony, which kinda goes along with Necron, being the embodiment of humans' fear, helplessness, and suffering when faced with death.

*** [[spoiler: Bartandealus']] theme counts too, but in both cases, [[GeniusBonus you need to understand Latin]].

* ''RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' features [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6JNhWfejAQ "Death to Squishies"]], a [[LyricalDissonance perky bubblegum-pop song]] about [[LyricalDissonance exterminating all organic life]].

* Arguably, again from Jonathan Coulton and again in a VALVE game - one of the songs that plays on the jukeboxes scattered around ''VideoGame/{{Left 4 Dead 2}}'' is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka30-wNdZPU&feature=related "Re: Your Brains"]], a song about an office worker turned zombie telling his still-human surviving coworker what he and his flesh-eating companions will do when they get to him. [[spoiler: Bonus: When the chorus starts up, an in-game Horde attacks. And they snarl in-tune to it.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3K8Z5anQE Greasy Sweet]] from ''SlyCooper'', which is the disco theme put on by "Greasy Sweet" Dmitri of the second game as his theme to show how much cooler he is than Sly.

** While I'm not sure they count since the villains aren't singing, Organization XIII's battle music must count for something, right? Listen to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5DZZVLqxVA The 13th Struggle,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YlA-g5YIqQ&feature=related The 13th Dilemma,]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isg0CWQoIdY The 13th Reflection]] and tell me I'm wrong. For that matter, the other villains have either [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZO1yinBXq4 The Encounter]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hoOaGu3y_4&feature=related Vim and Vigor]]. And, naturally, we get an epic remix of the One-Winged Angel for the Sephiroth battle.

* While not a traditional Villain Song, Hazama's (a.k.a. Yuuki Terumi's) {{leitmotif}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fZOoeHFG6s "Gluttony Fang"]] from ''BlazBlue'' is so awesome it deserves a mention. If ''Blaz Blue'' were a musical, this would definitely be Hazama's big ol' showstopper.

** Again, while not quite a Villan Song as it has no lyrics and is not performed by the villan themself, Relius' theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ksNWDKeBX4 Plastic Night]] is concentrated evil in music form.

* The [[VideoGame/NightmareNed computer game]] based on {{Disney}}'s ''WesternAnimation/NightmareNed'' has "The Mouse Song"; a delightful little number about mice electrocuting people in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq0pmg0gjg8 their bathtubs]].
* ''HenryHatsworthInThePuzzlingAdventure'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6nc77yI3qA Lance Banson's Aria]]. His boss fight features the sky pirate belting out faux-Italian lyrics throughout the battle, adding several layers of awesome to his already impressive battle theme.

** ''[[SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]'' has [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome the excellent final boss song]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=TrlRbcxZdEc "With Me"]], sung from the perspective of [[spoiler:Merlina, the Dark Queen.]]
** They also brought back Throw It All Away and All Hail Shadow. Also, Shadow's page on the Sonic wiki has a whole section of themesongs related to him, and it even makes of note of saying that the lyrics are hard to understand in most of them. Oh, and for a mind boggler, remember Live and Learn? Yeah, the main theme and final boss music of Sonic Adventure 2? They actually attribute that as ''his'' theme.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PYMZVuse4U&feature=related The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything]] sung by Dr. Peace from NoMoreHeroes. Truly, he has the voice of a [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]] angel.

* In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', Strong Bad arguably gets one (in his usual, Strong Bad-centric style) when he kicks off the first episode with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzwgAxbRXYw&feature=related "(You Can't) Handle My Style"]].

** Additionally, they have the VideoGame/{{Diablo}}-themed [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcDE-RP_qDM "Raise some Hell"]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdEYVy6BF0w&feature=related "Rogues Do It From Behind"]] arguably applies as well.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpftrjYCzpA Good King Moogle Mog XII]], the theme of the eponymous tiny yet terrible tyrant and his [[FlunkyBoss "trusty crew"]], from ''FinalFantasyXIV''. Highly reminiscent of ''This is Halloween'' from ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''.

* While not a traditional Villain Song, Hazama's (a.k.a. [[CompleteMonster Yuuki Terumi's]]) {{leitmotif}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fZOoeHFG6s "Gluttony Fang"]] from ''BlazBlue'' is so awesome it deserves a mention. If ''Blaz Blue'' were a musical, this would definitely be Hazama's big ol' showstopper.

* When a song from the {{Shin Megami Tensei}} series is used, it's usually in the Persona series and about how awesome the heroes are or cheering them on to their goal, maybe something a bit deeper. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne?from=Main.ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]] seems to be an exception. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO6LWQhvzRw The Fierce Battle]] theme seems to be the angels singing to you in hatred for how you've abused your power to go against them while the main [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmqbhyS-BK8 Boss Battle]] theme is the demons singing about why god despises them, with a bit of the desperate remains of humanity (and possibly a few demons) begging for salvation. Each of these sides can be villains to you in the end.

* The computer game based on {{Disney}}'s ''NightmareNed'' has "The Mouse Song", a delightful little number about mice electrocuting people in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq0pmg0gjg8 their bathtubs]].

** The Escapist gives us ''"[[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/miracle-of-sound/5286-Jokers-Song-Batman-Arkham-City Joker's Song]]"''.

* The retro-homage ''[[VideoGame/DoubleDragon Double Dragon Neon]]'' has a hilarious Villain Song for the closing credits, sung by the [[BigBad Big Bad]] as he is [[spoiler:[[DisneyVillainDeath falling to his doom]]... though, being [[TheUndead undead]], he'll likely survive that [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat almost four minute fall]]]]. Titled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJNDP_HTFp4 "Dare To Dream"]], it is actually sung to the iconic Double Dragon main theme, which would certainly mark the first lyrical version of that tune.

* [[http://sloprano.ytmnd.com/ "Sloprano"]], an opera sung by the Great Mighty Poo, a giant singing pile of feces, in ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''. The song is actually key to defeating him, as he sings higher and higher notes as you attack him, until finally he sings a note pitched high enough to shatter the glass blocking the toilet cord.

* {{Anarchy Reigns}} has a few of these around. Baron's new track doesn't fit since he's fighting with the good guys here, but there are two better examples. First there's Max's theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agl9jaKrBVQ Unlimited Resources]], which is basically Max singing to you about how hhe is just going to [[CurbstompBattle wreck your shit.]] The other song is the final boss track against [[spoiler:Nikolai]] called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYoTV1fkrD4 Find You.]] The song takes place from the villain's perspective completely and how [[spoiler:his]] view of the world has become dark and hopeless, telling Jack and Leo that their only option is to find the truth before the truth find them.

* When a song from the {{Shin Megami Tensei}} series is used, it's usually in the Persona series and about how awesome the heroes are or cheering them on to their goal, maybe something a bit deeper. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne?from=Main.ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]] seems to be an exception.

Each of these sides can be villains to you in the end.

* KanyeWest's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLHU3w1nwdY Power]] is basically about a all powerful celebrity getting off on how much people hate him. [[SaintsRow Sound like anyone we know?]]

** There's also the ''FinalFantasyIX'' song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_6NvlXPzZE Grand Cross]]. While not being sung by Necron himself and not having lyrics at all, this is still a music that contains lot of people screaming in panic and agony, which kinda goes along with Necron, being the embodiment of humans' fear, helplessness, and suffering when faced with death.
** Mihi nomen Orphanus. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qyavbSmxW4 OR-PHAN-US!]]
*** [[spoiler: Bartandealus']] theme counts too, but in both cases, [[GeniusBonus you need to understand Latin]].

** Also doubles as the only possible reason anyone would want to play through that world.

** The original ''Sam & Max Hit the Road'' features a catchy Villain Song about an ego-boosting weird-animal-collecting hobby from Liverpool country & western star Conroy Bumpus.

* The educational computer game ''IMMeen'' opens with a catchy Villain Song from the titular villain about his plan to trap studious little bookworms in a magic labyrinth using a magic book. It almost makes up for the fact that it and all other cutscenes were animated by the same people who animated the dreaded CD-I [[TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] games.

* In the ''HomestarRunner'' game ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People'', Strong Bad arguably gets one (in his usual, Strong Bad-centric style) when he kicks off the first episode with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzwgAxbRXYw&feature=related "(You Can't) Handle My Style"]].

** From the genesis era, [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Metal_Sonic_%28song%29 "Metal Sonic"]] from the Sega Virtual Tunes, about his purpose and personality.

* While he's more of a VillainProtagonist, [[GodOfWar Kratos]] gets [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLEBtvOhGnM Rage of Sparta]]. It's played every time a God is killed in the third installment.
