* "Villain Song" by Kirby Krackle.
** Despite the title, the song is actually about a villain announcing retirement as opposed to about how he's going to kill everything. {{spoiler|Or at least, it is until the final verse.}}
* The punk/cabaret act [[The World Inferno Friendship Society|World/Inferno Friendship Society]] have "Fiend in Wien", a raucous villain song from the perspective of Hitler about his awful youth and how he came to see the world as shit. Considering the band's main hero is [[Peter Lorre]] and they're a bunch of anarchists, it's more sarcastic than anything else.
** "Lust for Timing" from ''The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League'' is sung by the League's leader, Jon Gilch, as he gloats over his [[Nothing Can Stop Us Now|luck and apparent invincibility]] while heading a crime syndicate. The previous song, "Incendiarism", is sung by the League as a whole while in the process of joyfully stealing cars with the foolproof alibi of being asleep at the time. However, the musical casts the BWAL members sympathetically rather than as hardened criminals, especially in the second act.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFOpL2eTlKc Chainsaw Charlie (Murders in the New Morgue)] by W.A.S.P., which is sung from the perspective of a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]].
