"So let's increase our chances by working as a team, to crush our enemies to dust and laugh as they all scream!"

Yeah, again, the voices are annoying. Two of the three aren't exactly voices designed for singing, and unfortunately, one of those two gets the majority of the lyrics here. They've got at least a little rhythm, and even a tempo change mid-song, so I can give them a point there, but man it's not enjoyable to listen to.

Again, kinda like with Littlest Pet Shop, there's only so far they can go with villainy given that it's a show targeted at young children, but at least these three very clearly want to do evil and they make that clear. What evil do they want to do? Uh... make the ponies sad. How do they want to make that happen? By... being bad. It's hard to take the "crush to dust" line as a legitimate threat and not just a vague "ooooh we're gonna get 'em" given the rest of the song.

At least this is a situation where there are several characters that you can differentiate and attribe slightly different attitudes to. There are certain dynamics here between the three of them, and I'll give it a little credit for that, even if I couldn't tell you anything specific about them beyond "they don't like the ponies."
