Villain Song/Film/Animated Films

"Samwise the Strong: BEHOLD... THE GARDENS OF MY DELIGHT! So shall I transform... the WORLD!
 * Don Bluth uses this trope in most of his musicals.
 * The Grand Duke of Owls gets We Hate The Sun and Tweedle-le-dee in Rock-a-Doodle.
 * In Thumbelina, each group of villains gets a song.
 * the toads sing On The Road.
 * the beatles sing Yer Beautiful Baby.
 * Mr. Mole's minion Miss Fieldmouse sings Marry the Mole.
 * Gnorga's Queen of Mean from A Troll in Central Park.
 * Drake's Don't Make Me Laugh from The Pebble and the Penguin.
 * Rasputin's In The Dark of The Night from Anastasia.
 * The Real Ludmilla from Bartok The Magnificent. Debatebly also Someone's in My House from the same movie
 * Creature De La Nuit from An American Tail IV: The Mystery of the Night Monster. The film wasn't directed by Don Bluth, but it's a direct-to-video sequel to the original film, which was directed by Bluth.
 * The sequels of The Land Before Time have a few: You got When You're Big, sung by a trio of teenage dinosaurs who are bullies towards the heroes, Eggs, sung by a pair of dinosaurs, singing about their obvious addictions, Who Needs You, sung by a pair of incompatible villains (essentially a vulture and a crocodile) about how they don't need each other, and Very important Creature, sung by an egotistical Pterodactyl.
 * "Playing With the Big Boys Now" sung by the High Priests of Ra in The Prince of Egypt. Although these two are more like lackeys to the main antagonist of the story, they certainly have all the flair and menace of a good villain song.
 * The Pharaoh's part in "Plagues" counts as well. "Then let my heart be hardened/ and never mind how high the cost may grow/ this will still be so/ I will never let your people go!"
 * Frankly, God's part in "Plagues" also counts, depending on your perspective. It sings in the voice of a Creepy Choir about sending scourge after scourge on the land without a hint of remorse.
 * "Big and Loud" sung by Darla Dimple in Cats Don't Dance. part one is used to deceive the protagonist, and part two is Darla's gloating monologue about her success and the unpleasant future in store for the heroes. Like any good animated villain song, the visuals are over-the-top spectacular.
 * "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (not to be confused with the Alice Cooper song of the same name), from The Swan Princess. The sequel had "You Gotta Love It" and a third film had "Nothing But Bad Days Ahead".
 * The Rankin-Bass animated version of The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King features a song, "Where there's a Whip There's a Way", sung by orcs. While this is one of the coolest song titles EVAR, it's still just plain wrong. It's arguably the stand-out number, although it's hard to compete with Glenn Yarborough singing Sam and Frodo to sleep on Mount Doom or with a number where Sam fantasizes about how if he had the Ring he would use its powers to turn the orcs and baddies into regular critters like raccoons and porcupines.

Chorus: "HAIL SAMWISE THE STRONG! THE SUN SHINES FOR THEE ALONE!""

"Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em! till beards blaze, and eyes glaze; till hair swells and skins crack, fat melts, and bones black in cinders lie beneath the sky... SO THE DWARVES SHALL DIE!"
 * Someone remixed the "Whip" song.
 * Sounds more like a Villainous Lament. "We don't want to go to war today" and "we are the slaves of the dark lords's war"...
 * The same special also has "Towers of the Teeth" for the orcs and black riders.
 * The Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit has "Goblin Town" and "Fifteen Birds" taken directly from the book. What's up with Orcs and toe-tappingly funky bass music?

"granny: we have to do something! wolf: I know. The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible."
 * "The Master of Everyone's Ears" from The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat.
 * Note that while "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch" from the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas! special didn't qualify as this because it was sung as a voiceover, it did become this when the Grinch himself sang it in the 2000 film -- though Jim Carrey has nothing on Tony the Tiger.
 * "It Feels So Good To Be Bad" from All Dogs Go to Heaven 2.
 * Extra points for voice casting on this one. Red's actor was George Hearn, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Sweeney Todd. Hence; razors.
 * Red also has a short reprise later in the film.
 * "Instruments of Destruction" by NRG from Transformers: The Movie may not be sung by any of the Decepticons, but it sure feels like a villain song.
 * From Hoodwinked, "Top of the Woods" sung by, which combines the Villain Song with a Just Between You and Me.

"Have no fear/have no fear/Zigzag the grand vizier is here!"
 * "B Movie Show" and "Cutting Edge (More More More)" from The Brave Little Toaster both have elements of the Villain Song.
 * "Cutting Edge" is more of a direct Villain Song, as the appliances in the parts shop prove that Dark Is Not Evil.
 * South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut arguably has three examples. The most typical is "I Can Change, which Saddam Hussein sings to convince Satan not to conquer Earth without him. Satan himself as "Up There", but while it gives his motivation it's actually a poignant "I Want" Song about how he dreams of escaping Hell to live on Earth. The Mothers Against Canada also have "Blame Canada", though they're arguably more Anti Villains, especially near the end.
 * "(Money Is Such) A Beautiful Word" from Tom and Jerry: The Movie. It's not an outstanding number, but hey, it's got Tony Jay in it.
 * Also, 'God's Little Creatures', which starts off as a sweet song, but becomes this after the Doctor reveals his true self.
 * "What Do We Care", the Big Lipped Alligator Moment sung by the Singing Cat Gang, might be an even more notable example, due to the numerous Fan Vids it has spawned.
 * Easily the worst villain song is the Villain song by Marvin McNasty from Pound Puppies and The Legend of Big Paw. It's just him screaming a bad parody of 'Hoochie Coochie Man'. Then a random Jazz Elvis thing happens, tears of hysteria rolled down from the viewer's eyes at how bad it is.
 * "The Money Cat" from Gay Purr-ee.
 * "Toxic Love" from Fern Gully the Last Rainforest. Done by a certain Tim Curry, also known as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, as the character Hexxus, whose behavior exhibits an obvious homage to Curry's aforementioned role.
 * There is also a fan made FEMALE cover that is, quite frankly, so awesome that it deserves to be on this list.
 * "Don't Fall in Love" from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. Also by Tim Curry. He just has one of those voices. It's evil and at the same time charming and to some rather seductive.
 * "My Name Is Mok" in Rock and Rule. Noteworthy because the producers somehow got Lou Reed to sing it.
 * Of course Shrek subverts it every way it can. The main villain of Shrek 2 gets not one, but two songs: The first one is the self-titled "Fairy Godmother Song", a cheerful upbeat ditty about how she wants to help everyone; the second comes complete with an ominous orchestra and backing choir.... except the song in question is "Holding Out for a Hero".
 * There's a reason it was that song, considering it's the background music for some dramatic heroics from Shrek, Donkey and Puss.
 * Played straight in the Broadway musical, which gives Lord Farquaad two songs: "What's Up Duloc?", where he sings about his plans to conform the kingdom to his ideals, and "The Ballad of Farquaad", where he sings about the turbulent relationship with his father and his mother's death that led to where he is. Of course, being Shrek, it was all very tongue-in-cheek: turns out
 * There's also a completely ridiculous song as performed by "Monsieur Hood" and his merry men. Now, why Robin Hood is French I'll never know...
 * Possibly a case of Shown Their Work, as Sir Robin of Loxley was a noble before turning bandit; which at the time would have made him more than likely to be of Norman (French) heritage. And considering that the Normans would have been seen as invading villains by the predominantly Saxon and Celtic populace...
 * Ah, except most versions of Robin Hood that pay attention to the Norman/Saxon rivalry use Robin's older origin of being a poor forester or a servant before being outlawed.
 * "When I'm the King of Wonderland" in The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland. (Watch out for the Wizard's Deranged Animation face at 2:05! You have been warned!)
 * "Who is the Boss?" from Felix the Cat: The Movie. Not sung by the villain himself, but it's sung to praise how much of powerful man the Duke of Zill is. Plus he introduces the song by saying a few interesting lines.
 * The closest thing to a villain song in The Phantom Tollbooth is "Don't Say There's Nothing To Do In The Doldrums" performed by the Lethargians, a group of lazy, monotonic, slimy creatures who encourage Milo to be lazy like them so they can eat him.
 * The Titans from The Xena/Hercules Animated joint had their own song about how they where gonna get revenge and cause chaos and how they where "the best". It's even annoying to characters IN the film!
 * A Veggie Tales movie, one about Daniel and the Lion's Den, where the wisemen (played by three Scallions) sing a song called "Oh No!" where they plot Daniel's downfall. Their techniques get sillier as they go on, and they're soon talking about using him as a "table to play Scrabble on" which leads into a great rhyme of Babylon.
 * Then there's "The Bunny Song" in "Rack, Shack, and Benny", about idolizing a chocolate rabbit. This one caused a lot of controversy, and the creators use a rewritten version of the song on CDs and sing-along tapes. Amusingly, the back up singers have the same verses, with the main baddie scolding them and warning that they'll get tummy aches.
 * And then they clumsily Bowdlerized the real thing when they re-released the video. Darn it, you guys.
 * Well, what do you expect? It's a children's series that tries to teach them about Christianity; would they leave it un-Bowdlerized if they were going to be showing it out of context, with the main plot line providing no guidance back to the right thing? Picture what would happen if they did; not a pretty sight for kids who took it too seriously.
 * The French Peas taunt the Hebrews in the desert with the catchy "Keep Walking" in "Josh and the Big Wall."
 * The villainess of Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed get her own self-titled song in which she explains her nature to the citizens of Bumblyburg, who oddly still readily believe the rumors she spreads.
 * In "Esther, the Girl Who Would be Queen", Haman sings to the king about the supposed threat of the Jews in a surprisingly dark song.
 * Ruber gets a self-titled song in Quest for Camelot where he proclaims Camelot as his while standing behind a glowing green pit. During the song he throws his minions and weapons into the pit, combining them into partially metallic monsters with weapons for hands.
 * Of course, he also throws a goofy-looking chicken in there, too. And works it into the song. "And now this chicken... can kill!"
 * This was no chicken. It was evil manifest.
 * Barbie and the Diamond Castle's villain's song, "Wonderful Me" may be short (less than a minute), but it manages to not only get across her motive but her Large Ham tendencies in one swoop. The extended version throws in some Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad for good (bad?) measure.
 * The Barbie series is rather fond of these. Treacherous Advisor Preminger from "The Princess and the Pauper" gets "Could I Refuse", complete with Dark Reprise. And in "The Island Princess", Evil Matriarch Queen Ariana has "Love is for Peasants".
 * In the Blinky Bill singalong special the main villainess sings "I Hate Koalas".
 * Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol has its own representation with We're Dispicable sung by the grave robbers.
 * The first Pippi Longstocking animated film has "A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth" sung by Thunder-Karlsson and Dunder-Karlsson.
 * "Intelligence" from Help! I'm a Fish. For bonus points, it's sung by Alan Rickman.
 * "Two Heads Ain't Better Than One" from Gallavants.
 * The parts of this song that the Queen Bee sings and "Tough Guys" from Katy the Caterpillar.
 * The Thief and the Cobbler has one near the beginning, during the introduction to the villain Zigzag. It's only three lines long, but it sticks in your head quickly:


 * In Team America: World Police, Kim Jong Il's soulful song "I'm so ronery".
 * 'A Crooked Man' from the 1997 version of Babes in Toyland.
 * Those Two Bad Guys and, by extension, the Goblins get 'The Worst is Yet to Come'
 * Despicable Me features a theme song by Pharell Williams that's all about the Diabolical Mastermind Villain Protagonist.
 * "The Queen of Evilmania" performed by Queen Messina from Freddie as F.R.O.7.
 * Rudolph the Movie did have the great Villain Song, "I Hate Santa Claus". It's obviously the best song in the entire movie.
 * Asterix And Cleopatra cartoon movie have a song by the two villains, Artifis and Krukhut, called The Arsenic Cake Song. It is not a song about their villainy, but about the preparation of a poisonous cake, which they use to frame the protagonists for attempted murder.
 * Balto 2 has The Grand Design for Niju, well sort of. Niju and Nava are the lead singers and Niju has most of the lines. His lines are also quite villainous in nature, showing his motivation, so it qualifies.
 * The Good, The Bad, and The Huckleberry Hound has "Gold, Gold, Gold" performed by the Dalton Brothers.
 * Nigel, the Complete Monster Dragon-in-Chief in Rio, gets Pretty Bird, where he explains his backstory as a show bird and how he's now a murderous Card-Carrying Villain.
 * To coincide with the release of Angry Birds Rio, they also made it a crossover with the Angry Birds, with a few words changed of course.
 * Queen Scheherazade from "Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time" has "Being Mean is My King of Fun".
 * Buxton from Dougal and the Blue Cat has I am King.
 * The Lorax has one for the Once-ler, "How Bad Can I Be?," justifying his thneed business ruining the environment. People agree that this is the best song in the film.
 * "Biggering", an early version of the song is even more impressive.
