I ran this back in 2020 and it was a great time so it's happening again. See the full previous results here:
Before nominating
let me clarify. When I say "villain songs, that can refer to any song about or by the villain of a movie/show/etc." Disney is particularly known for including them, but they exist everywhere. I actually got the idea after seeing the Academy Awards twitter post Envy Adams' song from Scott Pilgrim.
Songs from any type of media are valid as long as they're by or about a villain. Even regular songs not from visual media are eligible if they can arguably be considered to be about a villain. (ex. Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia").
Songs will be ranked based on three categories:
-
Villainy
- How evil/villainous the song is
-
Characterization
- How well the song embodies the character's personality/motivations/etc.
-
Melody/Mood
- For lack of a better term, how much I enjoyed listening to the song
Rankings will be ordered by the total of the three categories, with ties broken by personal preference.
Note: While I'll technically allow things like a boss theme from a video game, I would highly recommend against them, as instrumental songs are unlikely to do particuarly well at establishing things like characterization. There are contests and rankings for those literally all the time though, for what it's worth.
For now I'll allow
four nominations per user.
The only rule is that you
can't nominate songs nominated in the last contest.
Make sure to double check the Google sheet when nominating!
