Johnbobb 08/08/20 3:23:06 PM #350: | 28. The Mob Song Source: Beauty and the Beast 2017 Villain: Gaston and the Mob Nominator: Great Paul (2 left) Favorite lyric: We don't like what we don't understand, in fact it scares us / And this monster is mysterious at least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nEiNxr4NpQ Villainy: 7 Characterization: 7 Melody: 6 Total: 20/30 So overall, I don't think The Mob Song is necessarily a better song than Gaston. Gaston is catchier, funny and more fun to sing along to. What The Mob Song is is a better villain song. This isn't Gaston hanging out in a bar, soaking up praises while being a cocky jerk; this is Gaston using his popularity and influence in the town to stir a bunch of desperately frightened locals into a murderous riot. To my surprise, this version of the song did that a good bit better than the original, adding some really nice extra lines to make this song less of an afterthought, like LeFou's "There's a beast running wild, there's no question. But I fear the wrong monster's released." You really get a sense of not just Gaston here, but everyone around him. Gaston isn't the dummy that could barely read a book, he's directly and maliciously manipulating people for his own horrible purposes. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
