Disney really needs to just let their villains have their songs without constantly interrupting them with side characters for humor. It's like just when dramatic tension is hitting its peak, just as Suzanne Pleshette is really stealing the moment and sending chills down our spine, WHOOP HERE COMES ANDY DICK because we can't just have a single serious moment. And no, Andy Dick can't really sing, even in brief moments like this, and he brings down what is otherwise, for the most part, an excellent villain song. The fact that this came from a direct-to-video Disney sequel is wild, because it's easily one of the better Disney villain songs overall. It's interesting to compare this with Scar's "Be Prepared." While Scar had an actual plan in place for his view of the kingdom, Zira doesn't seem to care much at all about ruling or establishing order. Scar wanted to establish himself as king and was willing to do the dirty work to get there, whereas for Zira, the dirty work IS the goal. If Scar is Lex Luthor, Zira is the Joker, wanting nothing more than to inflict chaos and pain onto Simba's family by whatever means necessary. She's not doing this herself, however, she plans on raising her innocent son with the express goal of being her weapon of mass destruction, and that shit is evil.
