{{trope}}
* [[Don Bluth]] uses this trope in most of his musicals.
** The Grand Duke of Owls gets ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7ooJlcDUc We Hate The Sun]'' and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4oUduaHsNs&feature=related Tweedle-le-dee]'' in ''[[Rock
** In ''[[Thumbelina]]'', each group of villains gets a song.
*** the toads sing ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoXrHALYXg&NR=1 On The Road]''.
Line 7:
*** Mr. Mole's minion Miss Fieldmouse sings ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p3kOIlBrM&feature=related Marry the Mole]''.
** Gnorga's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZXVdPr6y44 Queen of Mean]'' from ''[[A Troll in Central Park]]''.
** Drake's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzkLC-TVV_8 Don't Make Me Laugh]'' from ''[[The Pebble and
** Rasputin's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1vDqgsbyhQ In The Dark of The Night]'' from ''[[Anastasia]]''.
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6ROv1JKfg The Real Ludmilla]'' from ''Bartok The Magnificent''. Debatebly also ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giTzwKYNVYk Someone's in My House]'' from the same movie {{spoiler|though Baba Yaga turns out not to be a villain towards the end.}}
** ''Creature De La Nuit'' from ''[[An American Tail
* The sequels of ''[[The Land Before Time]]'' have a few: You got ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v76dvHxdVhU When You're Big]'', sung by a trio of teenage dinosaurs who are bullies towards the heroes, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPgUsAdciw Eggs]'', sung by a pair of dinosaurs, singing about their obvious addictions, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VKeKtm-ZqM 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 ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMyX4kGTzX4 Very important Creature]'', sung by an egotistical Pterodactyl.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3h57S3Rhw "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.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aCEDD3cBJA&feature=related "Big and Loud"] sung by Darla Dimple in ''[[
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evk75OFiGVU "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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MtxUNgA4E "Nothing But Bad Days Ahead"].
* The Rankin-Bass animated version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' - ''The Return of the King'' features a song, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdXQJS3Yv0Y "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.<ref> (loosely based on a scene from the book!)</ref>

[[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|SO THE DWARVES SHALL DIE!]] }}
* "The Master of Everyone's Ears" from ''The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat''.
** Note that while [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPBS7dVrE1U "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch"] from the original ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (
* [http://youtube.com/watch?v=PJwd86x81SI "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: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (
** Red also has a short [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJZ0eJON6Uw reprise] later in the film.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daVsSZ4qLiQ "Instruments of Destruction"] by NRG from ''[[Transformers:
* From ''[[Hoodwinked]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55CQkbnmWas "Top of the Woods"] sung by {{spoiler|Boingo the Bunny}}, which combines the [[Villain Song]] with a [[Just Between You and Me]].

Line 42:
** "Cutting Edge" is more of a direct Villain Song, as the appliances in the parts shop prove that [[Dark Is Not Evil]].
* ''[[South Park]]: [[The Movie|Bigger, Longer and Uncut]]'' arguably has three examples. The most typical is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJo0_llL1Q8 "I Can Change], which [[Complete Monster|Saddam Hussein]] sings to convince [[Satan]] not to conquer Earth without him. Satan himself as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13Kb_DktHg "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 [[Moral Guardians|Mothers Against Canada]] also have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAYMJnO9LBQ "Blame Canada"], though they're arguably more [[Anti-Villain|Anti Villains]], especially near the end.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNbw1kUDp5M "(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, '[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefiSJPHi4E God's Little Creatures]', which starts off as a sweet song, but becomes this after the Doctor reveals his true self.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7Ix6VN7Ao "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 Vid|Fan Vids]] it has spawned.
Line 57:
*** 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 [[Fridge Brilliance|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.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ThzGN9Qv5Y "When I'm the King of Wonderland"] in ''[[
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsKxvYVYgLA 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. {{spoiler|Have your fun, as long as I ''let you'' have fun!}}
* 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: The Legendary Journeys|Hercules]] Animated joint had their own song about how they where gonna get revenge and cause chaos and how they where [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDun2lxOVQI "the best"]. It's even annoying to characters IN the film!

** Then there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS0T57GOwPo "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 [[Bowdlerize|Bowdlerized]] the real thing when they re-released the video. Darn it, you guys.
Line 71:
** Of course, he also throws a goofy-looking chicken in there, too. And works it into the song. [[Nightmare Retardant|"And now this chicken... can kill!"]]
*** [[Sword of Truth|This was no chicken. It was evil manifest.]]

** The Barbie series is rather fond of these. [[Treacherous Advisor]] Preminger from "The Princess and the Pauper" gets "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6m-4Up2vawHow Could I Refuse]", complete with [[Dark Reprise]]. And in "The Island Princess", [[Evil Matriarch]] Queen Ariana has "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6HbzWFE2Zk 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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJBU95pVmw We're Dispicable] sung by the grave robbers.

* ''[[Despicable Me]]'' features a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axbUCR1nKRA theme song] by Pharell Williams that's all about the [[Diabolical Mastermind]] [[Villain Protagonist]].

* The Good, The Bad, and The Huckleberry Hound has "Gold, Gold, Gold" performed by the Dalton Brothers.
