Villainous Lament: Difference between revisions

''I have hours, only lonely

''My love is vengeance

 

It's been said that the [[Villain Song|villain tends to have the best songs]] in any given musical, full of flash and gloating. But sometimes, the villain (or perhaps a [[Villain Protagonist]], [[Anti-Villain]], or character who made a [[Heel Face Turn]]) has a moment onstage in which they list all of their misdeeds or mistakes... and the audience realizes that the character really, really hates themselves for what they've done, and the song has clearly strayed from fully villainous territory.

* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Sideshow Bob]] had a plan to kill Krusty the Klown, and he was about to see the plan come to fruition when Krusty sang a song about how he really missed working with Bob. In turn, Bob sang about how he would really miss Krusty when he had killed him, and this made him have second thoughts and prevent his trap from killing Krusty.

 

 

* ''[[Potter Puppet Pals]]'': "Have you ever had a bad day? Do you know what they'd call you if every day of your life was like that? They'd call you Snape..."

** Except Harry's more the villain in [[Potter Puppet Pals]] - Snape's more the [[Butt Monkey]].
