Villainous Lament: Difference between revisions

* "Pore Jud Is Dead" from ''[[Oklahoma!]]!'' counts as both a [["The Villain Sucks" Song|VillainSucksSong]] and this—Judd is a really self-loathing person, and even though Curly is insulting him in the song, he likes the idea that if he killed himself, people would feel sorry for shunning him.

* It's kind of hard to pinpoint a "villain" in ''[[Evita]]'', but all three main characters do villainous things and have songs where they regret something. Eva has (depending on the production) "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" (about people taking advantage of her) and "You Must Love Me" (showing her love for Peron). Che has "High Flying, Adored" and the [[Dark Reprise]] of "Oh What a Circus" (which are both technically laments for Eva, not himself). Peron has "She is a Diamond", which is a lament for Eva. The entire ''ensemble'' has the opening song, "Requiem for Evita". "You Must Love Me" was written specifically for the movie, and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" belongs to another character in the stage version. However, both the movie and stage versions end with the appropriately titled "Lament," in which Eva wonders whether all of her scheming and manipulating were worth the toll it took on her life.

* Le Blues du Businessman from Starmania may count.
