Villain Song/Film: Difference between revisions

* Unusually, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsiKOJOXMJU "Marley and Marley"] (yes, there's two of them just so they could put [[Statler and Waldorf]] in the movie. The new one is named [[Stealth Pun|Robert]]) from ''[[The Muppet Christmas Carol]]'' is a ''posthumous'' villain song, but still counts.

** And speaking of ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', the [[Albert Finney]] musical version, ''Scrooge'', has "I Hate People" for the title character, which should be self-explanatory, and later, the toe-tappingly nasty "Thank You Very Much", in which everyone who owes Scrooge money {{spoiler|gloats over his death in the [[Bad Future]]}}. The latter song gets a ''light'' reprise upon Scrooge's redemption.

** With [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaWdwoNXsOQ 'As the World Falls Down'] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQaNfeBooH4 'Within You'] being both creepy, and full of [[Lyrical Dissonance]].

** And don't forget to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU_6l1kwu7Y Chilly Down]!

** Lyricist Leslie Bricusse helped adapt the film into a stage play for regional theatres and gave each of the other brats a song as well, which aren't as mean but certainly sum up their vices: "I Eat More" for Augustus, "Chew It" for Violet, and "I See It All on TV" for Mike.

* Although he doesn't sing it himself, Necros, [[The Dragon]] from the [[James Bond (film)|Bond]] film ''[[The Living Daylights]]'' gets a thoroughly [[Badass]] [[Villain Song]] called, "Where Has Everybody Gone?" It's always playing on his Walkman when he's about to strangle people with the headphone wires. ''And'' his [[Leitmotif]] is the instrumental version of the song. The song fulfills the criteria of the [[Villain Song]], in that while the [[Big Bad]] is a fairly low-key [[Smug Snake]], Necros is the main physical danger to Bond throughout the movie, manages to get away with a surprising amount of successful assassinations for a [[Bond Villain Stupidity|Bond Villain]], and gets a spectacular, over-the-top final fight/death scene.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MagCoUYvIXE The opening of] ''[[Goldfinger]]'' is about the title character and his obsession with gold.

** And another Bond example: the theme to ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' by [[Garbage]] is, after you've seen the film, an obvious Villain Song for {{spoiler|Elektra King.}}
