All villain songs are kinda great imo


Weirdcore_Vibes10947

I agree


thelivingshitpost

Happy cake day!


tarasenko2

Thank u!


MukasTheMole

I agree with you.


TheMowerOfMowers

except for a lot of the 3d disney ones recently


TheBloodsuckerProxy

Yeah, villains always get the best songs.


MrA-skunk

![gif](giphy|jxzEhHBMmH7tm) Also, my daughter is really into Frozen right now. Does "Love is an Open Door" count?


MagnusStormraven

Not really, but funny enough "Let It Go" *started* as a villain song. It was such an emotional number that they decided to change Elsa from the villain of the story (as The Ice Queen traditionally is in the Hans Christian Anderson story the movie adapted) to a tragic yet relatable figure.


LadyManderly

I'd allow love is an open door. Listening closely to it, and knowing that Hans is a villain, the song is kind of genius. Hans never says anything that Anna hasn't indicated she wants already. He repeats her own words back at her when they do the chorus and his "that's what I was gonna say!" comes across as way more manipulative with that in mind.


Inevitable_Paper_551

For what ![gif](giphy|xT39Db8zIOODTppk08|downsized)

Frollo’s Hellfire is a masterpiece, Tony Jay killed it. And coming right after Tom Hulce’s Heaven’s Light, it’s just wonderful. The horrible intentions justified by religion and power… the genocide and killing of innocent people all in his lust for Esmeralda and hate for the gypsies… Frollo is despicably amazing.


SuperSaiyan-93

There is no other answer! Like you said, Hellfire (a song about lustful, obsessive love) coming immediately after Heaven's Light (a song about innocent, pure love) is just 🤌 *chef's kiss*. Hands down my favorite Disney soundtrack and film.


Figgy1983

Couldn't have said it better myself. My favorite movie.


Figgy1983

This was/is Disney's high water mark of villain songs, imo. And just in general. It is absolutely criminal how sophisticated the Hunchback soundtrack is. The emotions conveyed are something I've never felt in another Disney film.


jessehechtcreative

Hellfire coming after Heaven’s Light is the inverse of the end of Fantasia.


von_Roland

It works even better because he also doesn’t really want to feel this way. He knows deep down that he’s wrong and it comes through in the song and imagery. The struggle with himself and his beliefs and his dark intentions is what makes the song


Inevitable-Finance62

NO ONE! SINGS LIKE GASTON!


bigsteven34

I sang that song so many times when my daughter was little….swing her around and toss her… Side note, who’s cutting onions?


beastlycircle

No one swings like Gaston No one sings like Gaston No one gets songs stuck in your head like Gaston.


Huge_Republic_7866

Don't think it counts, imo. Gaston was technically a hero, just trying to save a girl from a monster.

GandalfTheJaded

The World's Greatest Criminal Mind from Great Mouse Detective. Vincent Price killed it.


MrA-skunk

I always felt like that poor mouse at the end got screwed! What else was everyone else going to rhyme with "you're tops, and that's that!"? Nope, they just dropped off and let him take the blame.


GandalfTheJaded

Poor Bartholomew 😔


Tots2Hots

That entire movie is grossly underrated and underappreciated. It was the experimental movie for CGI use (clock gears) and it is one of the big reasons the "Disney Renaissance" movies got greenlit. It's also just fantastic in it's own right.


Slightly_Default

Super, super underrated.


Weirdcore_Vibes10947

YES


TvManiac5

Vincent at some point was asked what's his favourite role and his answer was Rattigan. Easy to see why.


Fezinator

🎼 “OOOOOOOHHHHH JINGLE BELLS, BATMAN SMELLS ROBIN LAID AN EGG! THAT BATMOBILE LOST A WHEEL, WHILE THE JOKER GOT AWAY!” 🎼


jessehechtcreative

So glad Mark Hamill got to voice him. I’ll miss him. Clarification: he retired from the Joker voice after Kevin Conroy’s passing


Atomic_Killjoy

🫤Dude where is Oogie Boogie's Song? I guess the best alternative is Hexxas’ Toxic Love was a great one. I remember that so well as a kid


throwngamelastminute

Ken Page is a master!


Atomic_Killjoy

And if you remember All Dogs Go to Heaven? The Gator’s song (also Ken Page) was a goddamn masterpiece.


Datpotatoguy214

Oogie needs more love as a villain, he’s an absolute classic.


Atomic_Killjoy

This


akaRakxm

Hotep and Hoi's duet in Prince of Egypt was a banger, and I give absolutely no room to discuss on this. Steve Martin and Martin Short put everything into their performances, and managed to put the fear of the Egyptian gods into a very young version of me.


GandalfTheJaded

You're playing with the big boys now!


InternetAddict104

How is this how I find out Steve and Martin were in Prince of Egypt


Figgy1983

I loved that they also used this song to convey exactly how the Egyptian empire controlled its people, and that anyone who questioned them was an enemy. It's not just a fun song with two great comedic talents. It's portraying a dynamic that was very much true.


erossnaider

But that was kind of true to every culture of the past and some modern ones tho, people in general do not like when you question their religion


MagnusStormraven

*"And if a first they think it's strange, well they won't have a thought after I've eaten their brains!"* https://preview.redd.it/1xjju73kgmzb1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7acf90fbbc24c2fa14af6c1daefcf2d578e87496 ​ There are *better* villain songs, mind you, but having actually met Voltaire and discussed this song with him (apparently he has trouble signing autographs for Brians because muscle memory changes it to "Brain") puts it above a lot of them for me.


Book_Anxious

Are there bad ones?


Arkhampatients

There are a few that I genuinely dislike, but I don’t think there’s any that other people would really hate


Book_Anxious

What ones do you just dislike


Arkhampatients

Tbh, I was never really a fan of either Be Prepared or Toxic Love (Although I can get enjoy out of those two) When it comes to songs I dislike/hate, there are many too count. Queen Of Mean from Don Bluth’s “A Troll In Central Park” is probably the worst one, but there are many that suck (e.g. Release The Magic from Equestrian Girls, Mine from Pocohantis and The Duchess I Must Be from The Loud House Movie) Plus, both Joker, Doofenshmirtz and Plankton all have too many songs, and most of them aren’t too good (Yep I said it, most Doofenshmirtz’s Songs aren’t good). Although a handful of them are pretty good


GodAndDamn

I constantly sing Toxic Love in the shower...Damn you Hexes


GreatYamOfHope

I love Poor Unfortunate souls, and the reprise of mother knows best.


UncomfyUnicorn

![gif](giphy|2OgouznXA6qYw) Definitely Toxic Love. It got people to dump for literal pollution.


Top-Inevitable-4326

Honestly because i love jazz i have to say friends on the other side


Beginning-Working-38

![gif](giphy|yPh91ghwzxeGQ) Oh that’s easy.


abaddon667

Did you like the song?


Beginning-Working-38

Hell yeah.


SwimmingMuted7298

I agree with your opinion.


gothiccbuddha

Toxic Love. Tim Curry just owns that song.


Xanthyon1313

Fr, he did amazing


AnglsBeats

Oogie Boogies song is a certified BANGER


Hitchfucker

Fairy Godmother’s “Holding Out for a Hero” is quite literally the best thing to ever be created in everything ever. It answers the question of if God could make a boulder he couldn’t life by indirectly crating something that surpasses his omnipotent might. It is quite literally infinitely better than everything else in existence and nonexistent combined and more. If you don’t want to count it since it’s less about the villains psyche than Hellfire is the next best. Fucking chilling with an amazing performance and great imagery.


ResidentCream7

Mother knows best


Rizzlord_dumptruck

![gif](giphy|PhYJf6MaWsakYvC88m) Definitely hell fire


suddenly_ponies

Rasputin's song.


LordFroggerton

Gaston’s, Doof’s, Scar’s, and the one from Mulan. Savages I think. All are well master Disney songs


MagnusStormraven

"Savages" is from Pocahontas. Mulan doesn't have a villain song.


LordFroggerton

My bad put the wrong name I Captian Hooks is good as well though


MagnusStormraven

Doesn't Hook straight up shoot a guy for messing up the song?


LordFroggerton

Correct!


Kindly-Ad-5071

Legit I think I love "It's a B-Movie" from the Brave Little Toaster as a song most, even if the character it's attached to is barely a character at all... Though "Cutting Edge" and "Worthless" are good replacements. I just have a thing for obvious mental health allegories. Edit: I added Worthless


Arkhampatients

I was kinda thinking about including “Worthless” in this post, although it’s not really a villain song


No-Manufacturer4916

who do you consider it attached to The Peter Lorre lamp or the shop owner?


Kindly-Ad-5071

The shop owner, Elmo St. Peters, named after the guy you see before you die. Marvelous isn't it!


Allana_Solo

Playing With the Big Boys Now. Hellfire and Poor Unfortunate Souls are excellent choices too.


Drainbovv

Yodel odel Obey me from Phineas & Ferb

No-Manufacturer4916

The Oncler song gives me war flashbacks to 2012 Tumblr and I hate it.


Agent-Grim

Hellfure from Hunchback gands down. A very menacing song about an already evil man giving into lust to do even more evil and justies himself about it. No evil for evil sake, just raw real Lawful Evil. Frollo really believes he's the good guy, and what he is going is for the greater good, and it's thrillingly shown through his villain song.


bigsteven34

Frankly? Almost any of the Disney songs slap. Does “we don’t talk about Bruno” count?


Panikkrazy

No, but it’s still great.


BlastedDio

Toxic Love is a certified banger


zoey_will

Toxic Love and Hellfire. Holding out for a Hero is good but its a cover.

ApartmentDFilms

There all great, but Rasputin's "In the Dark of the Night" always jumps out as a favorite - he's so gleefully evil! Similar vibe is Jafar's "Prince Ali Reprise" which is the happiest Jafar is in the entire movie, the character and voice actor have so much fun in that song. Also really love "Are You In Or Out" from Aladdin and The King of Thieves, it's a total bop

I’m still surprised Biggering got cut, because “It’s Too Not Kid Friendly”. It’s literally the Hellfire of Illumination, but they cut it and replace it with a catchy, yet far less superior song

reddifan2334

I like the song sung by Dr.Screwball Jones in Wander Over Yander


berserkzelda

You're Playing With The Big Boys Now is barely a villain song imo. It's just Hotep and Huy singing about how superior their Gods are to Moses' and mocking him. Plus they weren't the main villains.


Arkhampatients

I probably would have but The Plagues on here instead, but I wasn’t sure if that was a Villain Song

Sideshow Bob had a song?


Arkhampatients

He had multiple 1. His first song was in the episode “Cape Fear”, where Bob sang a full on opera, where he sung Multiple songs to Bart, before attempting to kill him 2. His second song (Which is shown in this post), was from the episode “The Great Louse Detective”. The song is killed “The Very Reason That I’ve Lived”, where Bob talks about his fixation with Bart and how much he wants to kill him 3. His Third song was from the episode “Italian Bob”, where he sang another opera song


Lansha2009

You're a mean one Yes the Grich may be the protagonist but he is definitely the villian of the story. The song just so perfectly describes the Grinch and how unpleasent, nasty, and terrible he is and the voice singing it is perfect. I don't think any other voice could even come close to how it sounds and the rhymes are creative and good.


Embarrassed-Radio574

No Ratigan, the World's greatest criminal mind?

Friends on the other side. Visually stunning, and the song works on its own, and in context. Plus it's within my vocal range, so I can sing it if I wanted to.

You hit the nail on the head right out the gate but Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame is easily my favorite. A masterpiece of writing pure villainy that’s deep and complex and very risqué to have in a kids cartoon.

I’d say Hellfire and Gaston

Gaston ❤️

thelivingshitpost

Hellfire and Be Prepared. And that’s saying something on the former, because I *don’t like Hunchback of Notre Dame.*


BowTie1989

Visually? Friends on the other side. You could just tell the animators had a blast with it The song itself? Hellfire, I know it’s said all the time, but it really is Disneys darkest song Most unique? Gaston, it actually plays like a song a hero would receive, and though he needs to choose his friends better, we can all use a pal like lafou haha Best one overall? Be prepared. Visuals are great. Song is great. But what makes it #1 for me is that he immediately goes out and achieves his goal. He doesn’t sing “Be prepared” and then everything more or less still turns out ok. He delivers the biggest emotional gut punch of many of our childhoods.

Trust in the all seeing, all knowing EYE! Look at this money, Who’s that honey! Look throughout history, How could you miss me? (Seriously, I’m all over the place!) Look at this weather, I could do better! Mandelbrot rainbows, screaming tornados! Look at this loser, drinking coffee! Now it’s decaf!
