History VillainSong / VideoGames

** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' gives him an original song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JldMIRx3w-4 "Look Who's Laughing Now"]]. It plays twice in the game; the first is a show-stopping big band number with EvilGloating galore about [[spoiler:his inevitable GrandTheftMe of Batman]]. If you get HundredPercentCompletion, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwd_BEGe_Zw the version that plays over the credits]] is a sad, DarkReprise of the song after Batman [[spoiler:has imprisoneed the Joker in his subconscious forever]], foiling his plans.

** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' gives him an original song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JldMIRx3w-4 "Look Who's Laughing Now"]].

* Joker gets one in the end credits to ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UfsIvwzMeY Only You (And You Alone)]]" by The Platters in a creepy manner.
** And he gets another one in the end credits to ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' where he sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB3kEjroh6w Cold, Cold Heart]]" by Music/HankWilliams in the same eerie manner.
** [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JldMIRx3w-4 "Look Who's Laughing Now"]] from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'']] is a showstopping big band number with EvilGloating galore. [[spoiler:And here's a sad, DarkReprise of the song in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwd_BEGe_Zw end credits]] if you get a HundredPercentCompletion.]]

* Marceline gets the brutal and menacingly metal "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9e-PQFPZGY Who's in Charge Here]]" in ''[[VideoGame/{{AdventureTime}} Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?]]'' after agreeing with Ice King to beat up Finn for [[ComicallySmallBribe five bucks]].

* ''VisualNovel/FullMetalDaemonMuramasa'' features an odd mix of this trope and SadBattleMusic with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRWrCLIbd_I Falling Leaves]], a song that plays during the very final confrontation sung from BigBad Hikaru's perspective about how everything she had done was just so that her [[MundaneWish father would openly admit that he loves her]], not wanting to live surrounded by comforting lies. A song about wanting to know her fathers love, true and pure, even if the world has to burn to accomplish it.
* From [[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon]], we have Spring Breeze Dancin' and Kitty Lily's secret weapon: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc Gorgeus My Stage]]. An awesome Broadway-styled musical act that, without a doubt, will turn anyone into a Peach Montain Shogun "hard-die fan". Or so they claim.
* While he's more of a VillainProtagonist, [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLEBtvOhGnM Rage of Sparta]]. It's played every time a God is killed in the third installment.

* Videogame/LeagueOfLegends: Champion Diana has one in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAdzqyJ5p88 "Daylight's End"]].

* The album for ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'' and the [[Film/MortalKombat movie]], ''Mortal Kombat: The Album'', has character themes for the seven playable characters ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Goro]]). Out of them all, [[{{PsychoForHire}} Kano]]'s song, "Use Your Might" fits this trope the most, though it also doubles as TheVillainSucksSong.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PYMZVuse4U The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything]] sung by Dr. Peace from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''. Truly, he has the voice of a [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]] angel.
** And in the sequel, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNM5mFQ9siI Philistine]], sung by Margaret. The Japanese version has its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNM5mFQ9siI remix]]. The song is largely Margaret mocking Travis for being a "fucking Philistine" with a petty and childish idea of being a "hero" and a badass while he's in reality a loser otaku.

* Jonathan Coulton's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI "Still Alive"]], the famous ending theme from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''; unusually enough, it's sung by [=GLaDOS=] [[spoiler:''after'' she's defeated by Chell]], but it still keeps the basic Villain Song structure. It's also unusual in [[LyricalDissonance having a cheerful, upbeat tune]] and having lyrics which are very [[PassiveAggressiveKombat passive-aggressive]] for coming from a villain.

*** Then again, [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=] was no longer even the villain during the last portion of the game anyway and even helps you out to an extent. It's more of an AntiVillain Song at that point.]]

* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' has [[http://sloprano.ytmnd.com/ "Sloprano"]], an opera sung by the Great Mighty Poo, a giant singing pile of feces. 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.

* An interesting example is "That's Amore" of Psychopath Bibi Love from VideoGame/DeadRising2. At first listen, it really doesn't sound much more than what you'd expect of a love song. But consider it has lyrics like "You better do what I say!/Say you love me today!" when she's threatened to blow up several innocents unless you help her performance.

* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'': The game has a good many of these, considering that your opponents respond in their own [[SpeakingSimlish "beep-bo"s]], similar to [[HeroicMime the protagonist's]], implying that whatever they're singing or rapping about has a meaning. But the most noteworthy of them all are the ones sung by the Monster, or [[FanNickname as fans like to call him]], [[Creator/NeilCicierega Lemon Demon]], as they are sung with startlingly morbid ''real'' lyrics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYKr8KuJgl4 "Monster"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtKz5khVgz8 "Winter Horrorland"]] are both [[LyricalDissonance bouncy tunes]] about the demon's [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic tendencies]] and [[FlayingAlive desire to peel off the Boyfriend's skin]] and eat him and his girlfriend.

** There's also the sequel, ''Chill Manor'' with an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYGgLZL2vUU opening Villain Song]] sung by I.M. Meen's girlfriend/wife Ophelia.

** In a similar vein to the other two, [[spoiler:Nagito Komaeda]] from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', who is one of the closest things to a main antagonist in the game, [[spoiler:even beyond the grave]], has his own ImageSong sung by his original voice actress. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITt4yTz-zo [poison - deadly drug] details his obsession with hope, as well as his desire to understand and get closer to [[TheHero Hajime Hinata]].

* ''VideoGame/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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7wJ8pE2qKU "One Winged Angel"]]. Yes, {{t|ropeNamers}}hat OneWingedAngel.
** There's also the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' song 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. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qyavbSmxW4 OR-PHAN-US!]]
*** [[spoiler:Barthandelus']] theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbMbQLUr9cA Fighting Fate]] counts too, but in both cases, [[OminousLatinChanting you need to understand Latin]].
** Several of the boss themes from ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV XIV]]'' either extol the boss in question or are flat-out {{Villain Song}}s proper:
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCcbKY7d0dc Good King Moggle Mog XII]], the theme of the eponymous tiny yet terrible tyrant and his [[FlunkyBoss "trusty crew"]]. Highly reminiscent of ''This is Halloween'' from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''.
*** [[DishingOutDirt Titan]]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JevOJeRzIk Under the Weight]] is sung from his point of view, and tells of his desire for vengeance against the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters "sons of man" that have slaughtered his people]].
*** [[AnIcePerson Shiva]] takes it even further with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHkMfJBDFZM Oblivion]]. Instead of being sung from Shiva's perspective, though, it's sung by [[spoiler:her WillingChanneler, Lady Iceheart; and explains not only how she went past the DespairEventHorizon to enter full-on DarkMessiah mode, but that she's still the one in control despite having become a [[PhysicalGod Primal]]]].
*** [[BloodKnight Ravana's]] theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_3hRm7K8g Unbending Steel]] is similarly sung from his perspective, and has him extolling the joy and beauty of war.
*** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Sephirot the Fiend's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdV_bzJgRxE second boss theme]] is an epic IndustrialMetal BadassBoast from the demon himself.
*** Tsukuyomi's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMv9uiQsXvg Wayward Daughter]]", is sung in a mix of Japanese and English from the perspective of [[spoiler: her channeler Yotsuyu]] who's gone over the DespairEventHorizon, a HeelFaceDoorSlam and this is just begging the Warrior of Light to kill her or she will bring TheNightThatNeverEnds to the world.
*** The final boss of 5.3's story, [[spoiler:Elidibus, the Warrior of Light]] has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4nVg3jgZp8 To the Edge]]" which is a battle of philosophies between him and the Warrior of Darkness over the Ascians' ForeverWar.
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'':
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6JNhWfejAQ "Death to Squishies"]], a [[LyricalDissonance perky bubblegum-pop song]] about [[LyricalDissonance exterminating all organic life]].
** The end credits for ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZb1kvOTs0 "Join Me At The Top]], sung by [[spoiler: Emperor Nefarious]] which is both this, an IAmGreatSong, with WeCanRuleTogether mixed in.
* Jonathan Coulton's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI "Still Alive"]], the famous ending theme from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''; unusually enough, it's sung by [=GLaDOS=] [[spoiler:''after'' she's defeated by Chell]], but it still keeps the basic Villain Song structure. It's also unusual in [[LyricalDissonance having a cheerful, upbeat tune]] and having lyrics which are very [[PassiveAggressiveKombat passive-aggressive]] for coming from a villain.
** The second game features a similar ending song: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeTzCMFaH8 Want You Gone]]''. Rarely for a sequel villainous song, it approximately equals the original in quality (often actually creepier).
*** Then again, [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=] was no longer even the villain during the last portion of the game anyway and even helps you out to an extent. It's more of an AntiVillain Song at that point.]]
** And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWfGIjZG50 "You Wouldn't Know"]], from ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions''. This one actually subverts the trope since it's not even that villainous -- it's just [=GLaDOS=] taunting Chell about the things she'll miss since she [[spoiler:left Aperture again]]. (And how [=GLaDOS=] is [[BlatantLies totally fine with that, honestly]]).
* Arguably, again from Jonathan Coulton and again in a VALVE game -- one of the songs that plays on the jukeboxes scattered around ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka30-wNdZPU "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. Bonus: When the chorus starts up, an in-game Horde attacks. And they snarl in-tune to it.
* The retro-homage ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon'' 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJNDP_HTFp4 "Dared To Dream"]], it is actually sung to the iconic Double Dragon main theme, which would certainly mark the first lyrical version of that tune.
* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' has [[http://sloprano.ytmnd.com/ "Sloprano"]], an opera sung by the Great Mighty Poo, a giant singing pile of feces. 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.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3K8Z5anQE Greasy Sweet]]" from ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'', which is the disco theme put on by "Greasy Sweet" Dmitri of [[VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves the second game]] as his theme to show how much cooler he is than Sly.
* The best song of the dreaded Atlantica world in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-uYJHgxldo "Ursula's Revenge"]]? Yes. (It doubles as SugarWiki/{{Awesome|Music}} RockOpera.)
** While they may be purely instrumental, Organization XIII's battle music must count for something, right? Listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5DZZVLqxVA The 13th Struggle,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YlA-g5YIqQ The 13th Dilemma,]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isg0CWQoIdY The 13th Reflection]] and tell me I'm wrong. For that matter, the other villains have either [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZO1yinBXq4 The Encounter]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hoOaGu3y_4 Vim and Vigor]]. And, naturally, we get an epic remix of the One-Winged Angel for the Sephiroth battle.

* Since the game itself is an actual musical, ''VideoGame/RhapsodyAMusicalAdventure'' fulfills the villainy quotient with Marjoly's IAmSong, aptly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S04aVglDlOc "Evil Queen"]].
** Marjoly and crew also have such songs in the game's two sequels, and in the 2nd game the villain Akujo has a similar tune.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YouNCBUT3YI "Kuttetekaruna"]], from ''VideoGame/LocoRoco'', has no "real" lyrics to speak of... but it's hard to call it anything other than a villain song, given the frightened voices of its singers and its use of [[EvilLaugh maniac laughter.]]
** There's also [[https://youtu.be/Wp0OId0KZ4U "Merure Merure"]], the ''Nightmare Before Christmas''-esque song that plays while you're exploring the innards of the final boss.
** The Mojas get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLzZUL9ZH6Y their own theme]] in the sequel, which is able to [[BrownNote suck the life out of living things.]]
** The spinoff game "Midnight Carnival" has a [[https://youtu.be/hbKF6Wjn5T4 catchy jazz number]] sung by the [=BuiBuis=], who collectively served as [[TheDragon Dragons]] to the villains in the last game and now act as the main villains. They also sing their own arranged versions of songs from the previous games during the levels, including the aforementioned [[https://youtu.be/kcJqH3v_NVA "Kuttetekaruna"]].
* ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad'' features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wHZ9Ks6Nqg King of the Creatures]], a catchy Villain Song by Liverpool country & western star Conroy Bumpus about [[EgomaniacHunter his fondness for hunting rare and unusual creatures]].
** ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxSaveTheWorld'':
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknZf6xER60 The War Song]] from ''Abe Lincoln Must Die!'' may just qualify, as while the character isn't particularly villainous, his desires certainly are, as revealed by his love of bombs and guns (And so much more!) and his unbridled joy that a war has begun.
*** [[FriendlyEnemy The C.O.P.S.]] get the hideously catchy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCIxiYah-a8 Useful To Boot]].
** ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxBeyondTimeAndSpace'': T-H-E-M gets a big [[spoiler:mariachi]] musical number in ''Chariots of the Dogs'' explaining why they [[spoiler:steal souls in a time-traveling flying saucer]].

* ''VideoGame/NightmareNed'' has "The Mouse Song"; a delightful little number about mice electrocuting people in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uizhgr6pZFQ their bathtubs]].
* ''VideoGame/HenryHatsworthInThePuzzlingAdventure'': [[https://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.
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Dr. Eggman gets a great one in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWiSEyU76M4 E.G.G.M.A.N.]]: Definitely a great little number.
** From the same game, Shadow and Rouge have ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0y4kJ_DxyA Throw It All Away]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICnW8aEAX4w Fly In The Freedom]]''.
*** For ''Sonic Adventure 2'', the theme for Biolizard boss battle, Supporting Me:
-->"I believe in my future, farewell to the shadow. It was my place to live, but I need your hand. Lead me out with your light, I've breathed in the disgusting air of darkness, but I never lose out."
** Though not exactly evil, Team Dark's (Shadow, Rouge, and E-123-Omega) theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjkmncTpBFQ This Machine]] is arguably the best theme among the 4 teams' theme songs, and it's about the three members of the team who were marked as villains in the previous game, or built by the villain in Omega's case.
** ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]'' has [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the excellent final boss song]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey-oB-qw45c "With Me"]] -- which interestingly, is sung from both the perspective of [[spoiler:Merlina, the Dark Queen]] AND Sonic.
** 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 theme songs 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.
*** Which actually makes sense, considering that the song is about [[spoiler:letting go of the pain in one's past]].
** Being one of Sonic's earliest and most prominent rivals, Metal Sonic gets a lot of theme songs:
*** From the Genesis era, [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Metal_Sonic_%28song%29 "Metal Sonic"]] from the Sega Virtual Tunes, about his purpose and personality.
*** From "Sonic Heroes", the theme song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVAaU63K7k "What I'm Made Of"]] famously depicts his motives. Interestingly, depending on the interpretation it can also be seen as [[TheVillainSucksSong Sonic boasting to Metal to try and copy his power and see what happens]].
** In ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', the new villain Infinite has his own, intimidating [[https://youtu.be/XKjOJuPjiu4 song]], with the lyrics largely gloating about how powerful he is, and how he will destroy anyone who stands in his way.
** The Act 2 variation of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGUAp_xoi4o Metallic Madness]]" from ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' has Robotnik deliver a [[BoastfulRap short rap]] to [[BattleRapping combat the verse from Act 1, which is performed from the point of view of Sonic]]. Much like everything else in the soundtrack, it [[EvilIsCool slaps]].

* From [[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon]], we have Spring Breeze Dancin' and Kitty Lily's secret weapon: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc Gorgeus My Stage]]. An awesome Broadway-styled musical act that, without a doubt, will turn anyone into a Peach Montain Shogun "hard-die fan". Or so they claim.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PYMZVuse4U The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything]] sung by Dr. Peace from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''. Truly, he has the voice of a [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]] angel.
** And in the sequel, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNM5mFQ9siI Philistine]], sung by Margaret. The Japanese version has its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNM5mFQ9siI remix]]. The song is largely Margaret mocking Travis for being a "fucking Philistine" with a petty and childish idea of being a "hero" and a badass while he's in reality a loser otaku.
* Purge from ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Part 2'' sings a jazzy show tune describing his evil plan during the finale. We only get to hear a little bit of it in-game, but the soundtrack includes a full version.

* "Nightfall" from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'''s own rock band Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain starts out as a villain song sung by a death knight of the Ebon Blade, before the end describes the Knights being betrayed and swearing vengeance upon the Lich King.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEVeto3LQxg "Ignorance Is Bliss"]], by Jellyfish, is sung by [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser to Peach.]] It came out on the album "White Knuckle Scorin'", which had a comic story insert based on ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. (Although the comic had the characters continually referencing the titles of the songs on the album, this song was the only Mario-themed song on the album). The song and comic is about Bowser wanting to turn Dinosaurland "into nothing than fossil fuel" and join [=OPEC=] but his arrogance doesn't let him admit that not knowing how to read is the problem.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzwgAxbRXYw "(You Can't) Handle My Style"]] from ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' is a heavily subdued version of this, simply being about Strong Bad starting an average day while reminding the player that he's too cool for anyone to even try to understand ([[CasanovaWannabe unless they're a lady]]).

* ''VideoGame/ApeEscape 3'' has "Banana Heartbreak"; it's not so much a Villain Song as a song by a villain for most of it, but in the last verse it turns twisted by ''Ape Escape'' standards.
** Agreed. Nothing says "theatre" like multiple-personality barbie-esque monkeys in pink dresses. Just sit back and listen to banana heartbreak/I WILL CRUSH YOU.
** The song actually has two different English versions with different lyrics, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj5ZMcIHOy4 American English]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrYDescefzw UK English]].
* [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft The Tauren Chieftans]] have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOpdyytB3OY "I Am Murloc"]], a VillainSong for the eponymous sea monsters.
** Additionally, they have the VideoGame/{{Diablo}}-themed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcDE-RP_qDM "Raise some Hell"]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdEYVy6BF0w "Rogues Do It From Behind"]] arguably applies as well.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFqVWvPr2yE Nightfall. The Death Knight Anthem.]]
* While he's more of a VillainProtagonist, [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLEBtvOhGnM Rage of Sparta]]. It's played every time a God is killed in the third installment.
* In ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'', Mao's ImageSong ("Go, Mao!") is about how evil he is in general, and how he experiments on humans in specific. It's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWtMmTPAtMQ catchy as hell.]]
** [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl]] also has one ("Lord Laharl's Hymn"), extolling how [[EvilIsPetty wicked]] he is, and the [[PokeThePoodle evil]] deeds he does.
* Joker gets one in the end credits to ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UfsIvwzMeY Only You (And You Alone)]]" by The Platters in a creepy manner.
** And he gets another one in the end credits to ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' where he sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB3kEjroh6w Cold, Cold Heart]]" by Music/HankWilliams in the same eerie manner.
** [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JldMIRx3w-4 "Look Who's Laughing Now"]] from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'']] is a showstopping big band number with EvilGloating galore. [[spoiler:And here's a sad, DarkReprise of the song in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwd_BEGe_Zw end credits]] if you get a HundredPercentCompletion.]]
* In ''VideoGame/DisneyUniverse'', the main villain, Hex, tortures us at the end with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCOkL6WUNvA rock remix]] of "It's a Small World", and while doing so, the enemies are seen torturing themselves through various antics.

* ''[[VideoGame/Persona5 Persona 5 Royal]]'' has "Throw Away Your Mask", which is sung from the new FinalBoss' perspective, as he tries to convince the Phantom Thieves to accept his way. Played with, in that it is also [[spoiler:SadBattleMusic, because said final boss is FriendlyEnemy [[TragicVillain Takuto]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist Maruki]] - rather than a boast and WeCanRuleTogether, it's a last-minute plea to avoid a fight he doesn't want.]]
* Mr. Scratch, the BigBad HumanoidAbomination antagonist of ''VideoGame/AlanWakesAmericanNightmare'', gets his own BraggingThemeTune, Music/PoetsOfTheFall's [[https://youtu.be/BAh6ay9QDtE?list=PLjACqN5i5sDUEienDV52g85W6J7chzLXV "The Happy Song"]]. In it, an AxCrazy singer exults in his own psychopathy, while in-universe, Mr. Scratch is shown happily dancing to it as SourceMusic after murdering the people who were partying and playing the song too loudly in the room next to his. It also plays during the big confrontation with his {{Elite Mook}}s at the end of the game.
* An interesting example is "That's Amore" of Psychopath Bibi Love from VideoGame/DeadRising2. At first listen, it really doesn't sound much more than what you'd expect of a love song. But consider it has lyrics like "You better do what I say!/Say you love me today!" when she's threatened to blow up several innocents unless you help her performance.
* ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns'' 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agl9jaKrBVQ Unlimited Resources]], which is basically Max singing to you about how he is just going to [[CurbStompBattle wreck your shit]]. The other song is the final boss track against [[spoiler:Nikolai]] called [[https://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 finds them.
* In ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'', "Not Ready to Die" definitely seems to be Dr. Richtofen's villain song, while "115" seems to be Samantha's.
* The boss themes from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' all start out as instrumentals, then gain lyrics and become Villain Songs once the final phase of their boss fight starts.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZt11eC2L3E "Rules of Nature"]] for Metal Gear RAY and other Unmanned Gear sub-bosses, about [[TechnologyMarchesOn how the apex predators of old, such as the aforementioned [=UGs=], are falling by the wayside as smaller yet deadlier predators, like Raiden and the other cyborgs, take over at the top of the food chain.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RlSgnpLbro "I'm My Own Master Now"]] for LQ-84i/Bladewolf, about his [[IJustWantToBeFree desire for freedom from those who would only use him as a weapon and for the ability to make his own choices]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rj8HVW3PQ "A Stranger I Remain"]] for Mistral, about how, after searching for a long time, she has finally found a cause she believes in, [[BloodKnight allowing her to fight and kill without feeling any guilt]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSSXOQ-1bI "Stains of Time"]] for Monsoon, about a symbolic rainstorm washing away all reasons for fighting, until [[StrawNihilist only hate is left]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jynTNYSKNuk "Red Sun"]] for Sundowner, about how WarIsGlorious, how much [[BloodKnight he really loves war]], how adding cyborgs and [=UGs=] into the mix makes the thing he loves even better, how HumansAreBastards and should embrace that fact, and how [[SceneryGorn nothing is more beautiful to him than a blood-soaked, war-torn battlefield]]. He is not a very complicated man.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fl27wKaGFw "The Only Thing I Know for Real"]] for Jetstream Sam, about how the only thing he knows is fighting and killing others, and how he doesn't even know his own reasons or motivations for doing so (and never gets to find out before Raiden kills him).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPaVk4G1jg "Collective Consciousness"]] for [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong]], about TheEvilsOfFreeWill, and how people should submit and blindly obey their country's whims. The lyrics convey a very bitter and sarcastic tone, as his true beliefs are [[TheSocialDarwinist very much the opposite]] (but Raiden and the player don't know that yet).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAPgPH9hsI "It Has to Be This Way"]] for [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong again]], about [[NotSoDifferentRemark how he and Raiden aren't so different]], and how he hopes to see his vision of utopia rise from the ashes [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans after he's done burning everything to the ground]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vp_4vc-btI "Hot Wind Blowing"]] for Khamsin from the Bladewolf DLC, about his [[HeroicWannabe earnest desire to be a soldier for justice and freedom]] with the undertone that he's nothing more than an UnwittingPawn for his superiors.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6wY0rT29zA Sins of the Father]], which is actually sung from [[spoiler:Skull Face's]] point of view (through he doesn't actually sing it). It details both his plan and his motives, particularly the "words that kill" - [[spoiler:the English-language parasites]].
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' video games:
** ''VideoGame/ScoobyDooNightOf100Frights'' features four Villain Songs for each of the four bosses: the Black Knight, the Green Ghost, the Ghost of Redbeard, and the BigBad, Mastermind. For the first three, it's just a background choir during the fight, but Mastermind has a few lines in his song.
** In Episode 1 of ''VideoGame/ScoobyDooFirstFrights'', the first phase of the boss fight against the Phantom has the Phantom sing to Mystery, Inc. about how they'll get in trouble for trying to thwart him.

* In ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' Betrayal counts as one for [[spoiler:Drowned Ophelia]]. It's technically her leitmotif, but since she sings it herself during a cutscene it also counts as a VillainSong.
* Yes, even ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' has one in the expansion ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell Gat out of Hell]]''. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OvAJIVSLqK4 Apparently Satan, Jezebel, Gat, and Kenzie each play a part in a five minute long villain song.]]
* The remake of ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbmNoWGhRDQ song]] of Dark Althena/[[spoiler:Luna]]. No actual lyrics aside from her going "ahhhh ahhhhhh, ahhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh," but still pretty memorable nonetheless.

* ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' has [[TheDragon Susie]] occasionally sing praises to the BigBad, President Haltmann. [[spoiler:Your reward for earning 100% is a full version of her song]].
** We never get to hear it sung in-game, but the [[AllThereInTheManual pause menu descriptions]] for [[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Void Termina's]] first and third forms]] are lyric sheets for the otherwise-instrumental [[RecurringRiff Jambastion Mages' theme]]. [[spoiler:The pause menu descriptions for the three Jambastion Mages in [[BossRush The Ultimate Choice]] provide more lyrics, as well as a title: "Song of Supplication".]]
* "Noodles Can't Be Beat" from ''VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper 2'' is a BoastfulRap by Colonel Noodle about how noodles are superior to other foods, with Parappa countering by listing a bunch of other non-noodle foods. During the final portion, it turns into more of a HeelRealization song as Colonel Noodle realizes how close-minded he's become.
* In ''VideoGame/CryptOfTheNecrodancer[=: Amplified=]'', Fortissimole gets a BoastfulRap, ''Notorious D.I.G.'', for his boss music, in which he mocks the player for thinking they can possibly defeat him. When Fortissimole is finally defeated, the background music continues, but his rap is [[KilledMidSentence cut short]].
-->My manner is bombastic, my statement's sarcastic,\\
My flow's pyroclastic, my legend's dynastic,\\
Yeah, when I rise like Lazarus, my odor is always hazardous,\\
Your skill is, at best, average, there's no way you can handle this!
* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3UguXUvECM Die House]], which is sung by King Dice, TheDragon to the Devil, threatening Cuphead and Mugman and reminding them who's boss. It features many CreepyJazzMusic elements, such as a call-and-response segment, that bring to mind some of the haunting tunes by Music/CabCalloway, who was a big influence on the game's soundtrack. And all of this when he's just acting as an ''NPCRoadblock.''
-->I'm Mr. King Dice, I'm the gamest in the land!\\
[[CardCarryingVillain I never play nice,]] [[TheDragon I'm the Devil's right-hand man!]]\\
I can't let you pass, 'cause you ain't done everything,\\
Bring me those contracts, c'mon, bring them to the King!
* ''VideoGame/{{Nefarious}}'' plays with this: While Crow never sings in the game, he gets a song in a trailer promoting a graphic novel for the game, which is called [[https://youtu.be/soj3XPLLZyw The Bad Guy's Gonna Win]]. Crow also lampshades this trope by mentioning at the start that every bad guy needs a song.
** In a second video posted on the channel of the game’s creator, Crow’s secretary Becky also sings a villain song called "Good At Being Bad" where she sings to some other villains about how good she and Crow are at causing chaos.
* The album for ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'' and the [[Film/MortalKombat movie]], ''Mortal Kombat: The Album'', has character themes for the seven playable characters ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Goro]]). Out of them all, [[{{PsychoForHire}} Kano]]'s song, "Use Your Might" fits this trope the most, though it also doubles as TheVillainSucksSong.
* ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' has "Phantom of the Bwahpera", sung by an opera singing ghost Rabbid that seems to have it in for Mario.
-->Who do you think you are? You should kneel, I'm the star!\\
You are nothing but a parody, I'll find you a good role in a tragedy!
* In the UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'', there's "Lord of a Dead Empire," the theme for the battle against [[DiscOneFinalBoss Emperor Rudolf]]. [[https://historyoftheemblem.tumblr.com/post/172646706651/valentia-accordion-lord-of-a-dead-empire-lyrics#notes The lyrics]], once translated, [[spoiler:reveal Rudolf's true motives for starting the war]].
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' has the boss theme of Book 3, though it doesn't become obvious who it's about or what its lyrics mean until about halfway through. [[spoiler: It's about Lif, an alternate version of Alphonse who sacrified his entire world's population to defeat Hel... only to find it was AllForNothing. He now serves Hel in BalancingDeathsBooks by destroying the world of the Alphonse we know to bring back his own.]]
-->Throw away, everything, to bring a dead world back to life!\\
Sacrifice another self!
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has, of all things, [[spoiler:the game's main theme, The Edge of Dawn. The song is sung from the perspective of Edelgard, who's revealed near the end of the game's first half to be [[TheHeavy the Flame Emperor]]. Notably, this song is played in the credits of the Azure Moon, Verdant Wind, and Silver Snow routes, where she acts as one of the central villains, but not the Crimson Flower route, where she is the {{deuteragonist}}, which uses a different song for the credits]].
* The song that plays over the ending credits for ''VideoGame/RWBYGrimmEclipse'', "Lusus Naturae", is sung from the perspective of the game's BigBad Dr. Merlot. The song sings that while the rest of the world is ignorant of and fears [[TheHeartless the Creatures of Grimm]], he finds them fascinating and will [[EvilutionaryBiologist improve them with science and give the creatures a greater purpose in life]], thus proving wrong those who [[TheyCalledMeMad called him "a madman with no proof"]].
* Each boss in ''VideoGame/{{Figment}}'' has one:
** The Plague has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6MUDmB7oNQ The Plague's Song]]" about the disgusting ailments he wants to give the protagonist.
** The Spider Queen has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6zv1UdEVSQ The Spider Queen's Song]]" about how she and her spider subjects like to crawl on people to scare them ForTheEvulz.
** The Fear of Loss has "Fear of Loss" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-4BwT8_Ojc Part 1]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RYroP2bRE Part 2]] about how he sees everything as worthless and believes that Dusty and Piper should give up too.
** The Jester in ''Creed Valley'' sings one, as shown in the game's trailer, about how he wants to "liberate" the mind, presumably by [[ChaosIsEvil throwing it all into chaos]].
* A rather unique example from ''VideoGame/MightyMilkyWay'', as it's [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if5BWs1UF-M the Title screen song itself]] once you find out Luna was actually [[VillainProtagonist a genocidal alien sociopath the entire time.]] Naturally, this gets a [[DarkReprise darker instrumental variation]] that combines the now somber leitmotif with the [[OminousChoir choir from the T-Rex fight music]] [[DownerEnding during the end]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umMdneGyH38 Credits.]]]] [[HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier The usage of French does a remarkable job to hide the singer's true intentions.]]
-->I'll shatter the planets if that's what it takes.
* ''VideoGame/RiverCityGirls'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr3pTfHvN18&list=FLat4y-jTbtMNKLiuPS0ZKqQ&index=425 Noize's Boss Theme]] which plays whilst she fights Misako and Kyoko with [[ThePowerOfRock The Power Of Rock]], complete with lethal ''VideoGame/GuitarHero'' references galore.
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'': ''Touhou Spell Bubble'' [[AscendedFanon takes dozens of character songs from fanon]] and puts them in a [[GenreMashup rhythm and puzzle game hybrid]] where you must pop bubbles to the beat. These songs show up whenever you fight their respective owners in a spell bubble match. That's right. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIr8ZnpQEXM ''Cirno's Perfect Math Class'']] is now a villain song.
* ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}:''
** The image song for [[spoiler: Junko Enoshima]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_qKlpXjHY "Hope Or Despair"]] certainly qualifies. It features the series villain musing over her obsessions with despair and the perverted satisfaction she gets from watching it clash with hope. Side note. It also doubles as a {{Dark Reprise}} of the [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage Danganronpa theme]].
** Gee, [[spoiler: Celeste]]. [[MemeticMutation How come the composer lets you have]] ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' image songs? That's right. The culprit of the [[spoiler: first game's third case]] has a whopping trio of villain songs. The first being, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvRVY4r3qb8 "Queen of Liars"]], followed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3fMfNAqkP4 "Gothic Masquerade"]], and finally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6UtczX8Dl8 "Essai de menteur"]], all sung by the original voice actress, much like the example above.
** In a similar vein to the other two, [[spoiler:Nagito Komaeda]] from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', who is one of the closest things to a main antagonist in the game, [[spoiler:even beyond the grave]], has his own ImageSong sung by his original voice actress. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITt4yTz-zo [poison - deadly drug] details his obsession with hope, as well as his desire to understand and get closer to [[TheHero Hajime Hinata]].
** Lastly, the Monokuma Kids from ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' have a [[CreepyChildrenSinging cheery little ditty about]] [[SoundtrackDissonance making mountains out of corpses]] called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5kXzOhPubM "Let's Play With Monokuma"]].
* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'': The game has a good many of these, considering that your opponents respond in their own [[SpeakingSimlish "beep-bo"s]], similar to [[HeroicMime the protagonist's]], implying that whatever they're singing or rapping about has a meaning. But the most noteworthy of them all are the ones sung by the Monster, or [[FanNickname as fans like to call him]], [[Creator/NeilCicierega Lemon Demon]], as they are sung with startlingly morbid ''real'' lyrics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYKr8KuJgl4 "Monster"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtKz5khVgz8 "Winter Horrorland"]] are both [[LyricalDissonance bouncy tunes]] about the demon's [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic tendencies]] and [[FlayingAlive desire to peel off the Boyfriend's skin]] and eat him and his girlfriend.
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': Vergil gets the legendary "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrg9KxGNeJY Bury The Light]]", which speaks for itself.
-->'''I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING, PROVOKING DARK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION!'''
* ''VideoGame/IExpectYouToDie'': The song from the opening credits, "[[TitleDrop I Expect You To Die]]", is a dramatic number sung from the perspective of [[BigBad Dr. Zor]], taunting the player and promising their luck will run out eventually. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht1ZChKF4Ek You'd be forgiven for thinking this came from an actual James Bond movie.]]
** The sequel "The Spy and the Liar" has [[MadArtist spy fiction superstar actor John Juniper]] singing about his plan to use his new blockbuster [[FilmFelons as a cover for Dr. Zor's world domination scheme.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQE7jf9LCfk It's just as good as the previous one.]]
* ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' The Seed siblings all have songs dedicated to them.
** "Now He's Our Father" for Joseph, describing his past and how he became the leader of Eden's Gate.
** "Set Those Sinners Free" for Jacob, about him being the leader of the cult's milita and his SocialDarwinist attitude.
** "Oh John" for John, describing his place as a recruiter and his "reaping" of the land, which of siezing and stealing everything, from food to people, for the cult.
** "Help Me Faith" for Faith, about her recruitment of the emotionally vulnerable into the cult, as well as a subtle promotion of the Bliss drug. A somber redinition of the choir version of the song is used during her boss battle.
* ''VideoGame/Psychonauts2'': [[spoiler:The mental world of the mole Gristol Malik has an entire Ride/ItsASmallWorld-esque (fitting, since his mental world is essentially a propaganda ride) song that basically explains his motivations for trying to destroy the Psychonauts and "resurrect" his childhood hero Maligula. The song is absolutely laden with ignorance and propaganda. Malik himself even joins in singing along over the loudspeaker for the last few parts.]]
-->[[spoiler:''Gristol Malik's aim was true''\\
''Our Fatherland did rise anew''\\
''He made a plan and fooled the man who took Maligula!''\\
''Together they rule, everything is super cool!''\\
''Grulovia, Grulovia, we're better than before''\\
''Grulovia, Grulovia is great once more!]]''

** Lastly, the Monokuma Kids from ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' have a [[CreepyChildrenSinging cheery little ditty about]] [[SoundtrackDissonance making mountains out of corpses]] called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtRG4iXIAG4 "Let's Play With Monokuma"]].

* ''[[VideoGame/Persona5 Persona 5 Royal]]'' has "Throw Away Your Mask", which is sung from the new FinalBoss' perspective, as he tries to convince the Phantom Thieves to accept his way.

* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0KBxOdAwNY Die House]], which is sung by King Dice, TheDragon to the Devil, threatening Cuphead and Mugman and reminding them who's boss. It features many CreepyJazzMusic elements, such as a call-and-response segment, that bring to mind some of the haunting tunes by Music/CabCalloway, who was a big influence on the game's soundtrack. And all of this when he's just acting as an ''NPCRoadblock.''

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAPgPH9hsI "It Has to Be This Way"]] for [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong again]], about how he and Raiden are NotSoDifferent, and how he hopes to see his vision of utopia rise from the ashes [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans after he's done burning everything to the ground]].

* ''[[VideoGame/Persona5 Persona 5 Royal]]'' has "Throw Away Your Mask", which is sung from the new boss' perspective, as he tries to convince the Phantom Thieves to accept his way.

** The end credits for ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZb1kvOTs0 "Join Me At The Top]], sung by [[spoiler: Emperor Nefarious]] which is both this, an IAmGreatSong, with WeCouldRuleTogether mixed in.

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

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1CrYMEQk18 "A Stranger I Remain"]] for Mistral, about how, after searching for a long time, she has finally found a cause she believes in, [[BloodKnight allowing her to fight and kill without feeling any guilt]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnKl4064vEo "Stains of Time"]] for Monsoon, about a symbolic rainstorm washing away all reasons for fighting, until [[StrawNihilist only hate is left]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XixH7NMkOe8 "Collective Consciousness"]] for [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong]], about TheEvilsOfFreeWill, and how people should submit and blindly obey their country's whims. The lyrics convey a very bitter and sarcastic tone, as his true beliefs are [[TheSocialDarwinist very much the opposite]] (but Raiden and the player don't know that yet).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGc-awV90xg "It Has to Be This Way"]] for [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong again]], about how he and Raiden are NotSoDifferent, and how he hopes to see his vision of utopia rise from the ashes [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans after he's done burning everything to the ground]].

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': Vergil gets the legendary "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrg9KxGNeJY Bury The Light]]" which speaks for itself.
