Villain Song/Literature

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
That lord of Castamere.
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,

And not a soul to hear.
The Rains of Castamere, A Song of Ice and Fire
  • The Goblins' songs in The Hobbit.
  • Shows up a lot in Redwall. Triss has three ("That's The Freebootin' Way", "'Tis Nice To Be A Villain" and "Plunder, By Thunder").
    • In Rakkety Tam, the villains sing a let's-get-frenzied song, which the audio book sets to a heavy beat and bass guitar.
      • Also in Marlfox. "Who be death? We be death! Dis de blade wot stop your breath!"
    • And then there's Flinky's many songs in Loamhedge. All of them are great, but the darkest is the "Vermin Lullaby", which was a normal lullaby at first, before it suddenly got Darker and Edgier in the second chorus.

"So hush now, lullaby, foxy close yer eyes, and you'll soon make lovely vittles, for the ants and flies". Squick.
