* The main villain of ''[[Homestuck]]'''s [[Show Within a Show]] ''Squiddles!'', [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Skipper Plumbthroat]], gets [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/catchyegrabber-skipper-plumbthroats-song Catchyegrabber] and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/plumbthroat-gives-chase Plumbthroat Gives Chase] in the Squiddles! album.

** Although mostly lyric-less, Homestuck's main villain proper, {{spoiler|Jack Noir}}, has the very catchy and uptempo theme song - [https://web.archive.org/web/20111011191429/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black Black], which starts off slow and simple, then builds into a grand production.

** There's also a whole ''album'' of [[Villain Song]]s in the form of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/the-felt The Felt], for the resident time-travelling [[Gang of Hats]]. Special mention must go to the baroque, atmospheric [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch Scratch] (for [[The Chessmaster|Doc]] [[The Dragon|Scratch]]) and the tense, slow-burning majesty of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/english English] (for [[Cosmic Horror|Lord]] [[Big Bad|English]]), which later [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006011 appeared in the comic itself] as part of [[The Reveal]].

* [[The Good Witch]] has "Things Will be Different." This is a rather unusual Villain Song in that it is both very upbeat and sung by the comic's protagonist. (Justified since she's a [[Villain Protagonist]].) The song focuses on Angel's happiness that she is free from her previous life as a transsexual male who was ostracized by everyone in the town, and how great life will be now that she has infinite power. Which is to say, great for her, as she is also ruining the lives of everyone else. Throughout the song, she carelessly transforms innocent bystanders into random and bizarre things, and hypnotizes the others into singing with her. Ultimately, it foreshadows the selfish and arrogant bitch she'll eventually become.
