"Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches / Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches"
Ugh, this one feels wrong to have so low, but under my own rules I just can't really justify putting it higher. This song is a huge sensation for a reason, beyond just being a very recognizable character starring in a massively popular movie. Jack Black is great as Bowser, and Peaches really captures that intersection between his own musical talent and the goofy, princess-capturing style of Bowser. This serves as a great example for some of the songs below it of how to maintain a goofy character voice while not letting it bring down the vocal quality. Even though it is very short, it's great.
But it also tells us barely nothing. Bowser is in love with Peach. And, uh, that's about it. He namedrops Mario and Donkey Kong, and mentions a desire to rule, but that's the full extent of his characterization. It's super slim, and not overall villainous. It's pretty clearly a love song. The closet thing we get to villainy from the song itself is "I'll make you mine," which only sounds villainous because we know it's Bowser and that he kidnaps princesses, but calling the song itself villainous because of that is a huge stretch.
