What makes for a good villain song?
Vote
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:
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. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard!

What a neat idea for a ranking!@Snake5555555555 Thanks! But, as much as I HATE to do it, I'll probably have to deny that one, since Hip To Be Square isn't about Bateman or sung by Bateman.
