Mr. Mega does get one, "Love Is My Bottom Line," but it's a jazzy, upbeat number full of BlatantLies about how much he supposedly cares about people over money, and when it's over he goes back to being the same jerk he was before he started singing. It feels less like a typical VillainSong and more like a goofy non-sequitur (as well as a TakeThat against show-biz phonies).
