63. The Smell of Rebellion
Source: Matilda the Musical
Villain: Miss Trunchbull
Nominator: cakophon (1 left)
Favorite lyric: Their chattering and chittering / Their nattering and twittering / Is tempered with a smattering of discipline

Villainy: 4
Characterization: 6

Total: 17/30

I never saw Matilda the Musical but I did see the movie Matilda, and I had a lingering idea of who Miss Trunchbull going in, so I thought I knew what to expect going in. As far as the character herself, that was accurate. Trunchbull is the headmistress who just really hates children, and while that's a pretty simple concept that's appeared in TONS of kids media (Crocker in Fairly Odd Parents, Snape and Umbridge in Harry Potter, Krupp in Captain Underpants) but this song goes hard on the exceeding lengths Trunchbull will go to to be a godawful teacher. Like she REALLY, REALLY hates these kids. What I wasn't expecting was the impressive vocal talent of Trunchbull in this song, with the rapid-fire wordplay really being the main appeal of the song.

64. Dingodile (with lyrics)

The biggest thing I learned from doing this list is that I just don't particularly care for Man On The Internet. There was at least 3 of his songs nominated, and for the most part I just didn't dare for them. It's a combination of the vocalist needing to try and stick to the already existing tempo and pitch of a song while also trying to match the character's voice while ALSO trying to squeeze in references to the game they're in. Of the nominations, Dingodile works by far the best. Partially because the boss track just works much nicer with lyrics than some of the others, partially because he focused more on capturing Dingodile's personality rather than trying to reference the game too much. It still suffers from the vocals though; while Dingodile's voice wasn't nearly as grating as The Snatcher's or Jevil's, it's still a very specific voice not meant for singing, and you can definitely hear the singer struggling to hit the high notes while maintaining the voice. I will however give it credit for handling Dingodile well, capturing not only his strong Australain accent but also his cocky and anarchist demeanor.

I hope Infinite comes back at some point, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Sega mandated that the Sonic comics aren't allowed to use Infinite, and he wasn't in Team Sonic Racing, so I'm guessing that they only intended him as a one-off, aside from being in Smash Ultimate as one of the weakest spirits in the game.
for what it's worth Team Sonic Racing probably isn't a good measuring point giving how disappointingly little effort they put into that

though tbh most Sonic villains that aren't Shadow or Eggman don't really hang around much beyond their initial games. I'd expect to see Infinite in the same role as Chaos, showing up very rarely in cameo appearances and maybe if they ever make a Sonic Generations 2 (fingers crossed)

I am fully willing to admit this song only made it this far 100% due to my own personal bias. I had been following all the pre-release details for Sonic Forces up to its release, and I about lost my shit when they revealed this song. Sonic Forces got shit on by critics and general audiences alike, but ultimately it was a game made for a very specific audience of die-hard fans that were all-in for a game that was willing to make fun of itself. Giving players the chance to play as their Sonic OC against a character so over-the-top edgy that he somehow manages to out-edge Shadow the Hedgehog is a fuckin stroke of genius, and that all culminates in Infinite's theme, which brags about how he's the sharpest of blades and the tallest of towers and is stronger than all his classmates at the sonic fighting academy and likes hot gurls with big boobys who are sluts. It's so goddamn over-the-top, and included in all that, it's a fuckin' banger (though had I not been so hyped for the song when it released, I might not think the same thing). As a villain song, it admittedly is pretty ineffective, given that literally all it tells you is that Infinite is the best and he's going to defeat you (you being Sonic I assume? Who knows)

I actually discovered Alestorm for the first time about two years ago, because a coworker was really into them, and I fuckin dig this band. They're kind of like if you took The Dropkick Murphys and replaced their Celtic theme with a Pirate theme. It's not surprising that the combination pays off so well. The song is just a blast that makes you want to shout, party and, uh... something else I guess? It definitely feels more like a party song than a villain song, but there is certainly villainy to be had in pirate-themed music, namely the song's repeated insistence that they are here to drink your beer and steal your rum at the point of a gun. I just like the absurdity of it all, it's a pirate gang that doesn't want wealth, just alcohol, to the point that they *checks notes* went back in time? Is that right?

man I really didn't expect to make the top 10 given how comparably early the rest of mine fell.

Gravity Falls intro is great, especially the minor things to establish character. One touch I always loved was the tiny details in the campfire sequence, where you immediately learn things about every character in the course of about 2 seconds. Wendy rolls her eyes and smiles at the jump scare. Dipper's eyes quickly look at Wendy to catch her reaction before looking back at Stan. Soos is genuinely terrified while Mabel looks like she's stifling a laugh.

Damn, dude, I was not expecting this song to go as hard as it did. Without knowing much of anything about SKRS, I get the sense that Maya falls more into the rival category as opposed to a straight-up villain, competing with Aijou Karen to be the best... musician? Actress? Something in that range. This is probably one of the stronger cases of the melody of the song contributing to heavily to the characterization; you really get the sense that this is a battle, but less so once Maya's sections really take over. Maya is, as the title suggests, confident and arrogant, and rightfully so. She welcomes people to challenge her, but knows nobody else truly can, and proclaims her dominance, saying "I have no need for those who lack willpower." It's really just a damn good song.

Goddamn, this was way better than I expected from a poorly claymated music video about the Three Little Pigs. You could've told me this was Megadeth and I would've believed you without a second thought. It's got everything: powerful shreds, aggressive vocals, and a hilarious sense of humor. When the Pigs sent out Rambo, I about lost my shit, and using a drum solo for the machine gun fire was a great artistic choice. So good it mostly makes up for the grating "NOT BY THE HAIR ON MY CHINNY CHIN CHIN." Of course, it doesn't tell you much more about The Big Bad Wolf than you all assuredly already knew, but ultimately that's fine given how simplistic of a character it is to begin with. You do get a little bit of extra flavor for the pigs though, who seem oddly distinct. And yeah, the wolf's an asshole. Don't destroy people's houses, dude, fuck is wrong with you.

Well this was a fun little surprise. It's a chipper, goofy song about how great Marjoly the evil queen is. Why is she evil? Well... because she's the evil queen of course! The best one! What initially seems like it's going to a ballad solely dedicated to stroking Marjoly's ego ends up only mostly doing that, but also puts in a verse about Ferdinando, the cursed prince Marjoly is desperate for. That sounds like a pretty wholesome goal honestly, though I also get the feeling there's a lot more to it than that in the context of the game. It definitely gives me a pretty solid idea of who Marjoly is, and giving her different followers a chance to include their voice is a nice touch, even if the followers' voices aren't quite as musically refined as hers are.

The second nomination for Armstrong finally drops, and while It Has To Be This Way was a decent song that didn't tell me much about Armstrong, Collective Consciousness is its direct opposite. It tells me plenty about Armstrong, but I don't particularly care for the song itself much. It depicts Armstrong as the pinnacle of ruling with an iron fist. The song screams capitalism without a hint of subtlety. "Burn the weak." "Give up free will." "Blindly swear allegiance." As a way of depicting what Armstrong stands for and why he's the villain of the story, it does a great job. As a song on its own, it has a lot to be desired. I never cared much for that type of hard rock/electronic mix that some bands have gotten popular off of in the last decade or so. It just undercuts the aggresiveness of the song that's already there. The vocalist doesn't quite have the punch needed to drive the message through; I could see this working better as a Dream Theater-type epic than the brief song we ended up with.

Aw, poor Dr. Horrible. Not enough of a villain for the League of Evil and not enough of a villain for the villain song rankings. I love this song, as well as pretty much every song on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. NPH just has a fantastic voice, and I'm legitimately disappointed he doesn't take on many singing roles anymore unless it's to host an award show. My Freeze Ray is short and very, VERY sweet, almost sickeningly so, but in a way that instantly makes you sympathize with Horrible. Villain songs from protagonists are always a weird bag, and this is almost as wholesome as they get. A brief mention of ruling the world doesn't even score it any villainy points when it's sung in a dreamy, loving way like this, especially when that's only the second most important goal to our lovestruck supervillain.

I've always been a huge fan of Sonic music. It's almost always cheesy and over the top, and while I wouldn't call it one of the best Sonic songs out there, E.G.G.M.A.N. definitely deserves the reputation its gotten amongst Sonic fans. The chorus is catchy as hell, and the songs holds a place in my heart, though objectively the singer has very very little range and almost never changes up his pitch or tone. It SHOULD score lower for the melody, I'll admit, but I don't have it in me to put it lower. It tells you exactly what you need to know about Eggman. He's a mad genius, a scientist who schemes and creates robots to take over the world, and wishes to destroy "the blue one." Not super deep, but hey, Eggman's not a deep guy. Multiple mentions of destruction and a general sense of power-hungry madness definitely gives him just a little villainy boost as well.

While the song itself is trash, I can't deny it played the system here decently. It effectively established its villain's cruelty and motivations (even while being unpleasant to listen to)

Who exactly He Is Legend is singing about here is a little bit of a mystery. It's referred to as "White Bat," and while the album art admittedly made me think they were singing about a literal monstrous bat, but the lyrics seem to suggest something different, maybe a serial killer or other type of cruel lunatic who preys on the weak. The bat imagery is strong though, portraying the person/creature stalking from the shadows and returning to the dark after striking. The setup to make a really terrifying creature is there, though it's hard to decide exactly how evil this creature is without getting a little more exploration on it. On top of that, I wish I liked the song more than I did. It starts alright, with a Metalica-esque vibe, but quickly devolved into the type of pop-punk metalcore that I just haven't ever particularly cared for, with solid instrumentals but a whiny tone to the voice.

So just a couple rankings back, I mentioned how many spots Exile went up due to how it sticks in your head and makes you want to belt out its chorus. This fails melodically for the same reason that one succeeded; the song gets stuck in your head with a horribly grating chorus that just makes you want to claw your ears out. There's a lot going wrong in the song, between the half-rapping, and the obnoxious backup, but that "How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" is just the absolute worst. The only thing keeping it from a 1 is the very end of the song, which does manage to have some positive impact. The song also throws any sense of subtelty right out the window, feeling the need to REALLY drive in that this is supposed to be the villain, just in case the kids watching hadn't picked up on it yet. And he's a villain that's particularly easy to hate due to how much he feels like someone you see in pretty much every business, justifying his every action no matter how terrible and refusing to acknowledge the devastation he's causing. It'd be a pretty deep message by kid movie standards, but again, it drills it in way too hard too fast.
