What makes for a good villain song?




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 (ex. The Beatles' "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil," etc.)

Songs will be ranked based on three categories:
  1. Villainy - How evil/villainous the song is
  2. Characterization - How well the song embodies the character's personality/motivations/etc.
  3. Melody/Mood - For lack of a better term, how much I enjoyed listening to the song


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. This might increase later depending on how many nominations come in.
