Nah. Listening to it again there's just too much talking and not enough song.

Kill The Beast remains #1

That's funny because the makers of the live action version thought that song was nothing but talking and no singing.

It was pretty good. Also, I am now remembering MOTI's cover of it. Probably because of the anime background art.

Lion King Live is pretty much the single worst adaptation they've made. I just don't know how they screwed up something that bad.

Its second best after Hellfire.

Interesting, I would've considered Gaston the villain song of Beauty and the beast. Kill the beast is more like the song that's meant to ramp up tension leading up to the climax of the movie.

The Gaston song didn't really paint him as an antagonist IMO. He was rude and narcissistic but he didn't have any villainous intent until later.

He hatches the plan to lock up Belle's father during the reprise. I forget, how much later is the reprise?

The one I'm most fond of is Jafar's Prince Ali reprise. It's unhinged and from memory the only Disney villain I recall doing a corrupt version of a hero's song.

You have song like Hellfire, Friends on the Other Side and Savages (IMO) that's top tier. Be Prepared is definitely up there.

Holy shit you guys were right about about Hellfire. Easy top 3

Never seen Hunchback of Notre Dame, but the previews from other movies always stuck with me. That main theme melody is so good.

Feels like a Final Fantasy Villain Theme <_<

Yeah, I think Hellfire is easily number one.

"Goodbye So Soon" is another one of my favorites, from Great Mouse Detective, which sadly never gets mentioned. Vincent Price probably has the sleaziest voice of any Disney villain lol

You should also check out In the Dark of the Night and Toxic Love.
Neither are Disney (well... I guess Disney does own both now), but they're both kick ass villain songs.

What's actually pretty funny is that Elsa was supposed to be the antagonist of the story. Let it Go was written as a villain song. The song was too uplifting and inspiring for an antagonist, but was also too good to get rid of, so they made Elsa a hero instead.

I mean, with that melody, yeah.

That said, at its core, Girl Power aside it's still a song about watching the world burn (well, freeze) and not giving a shit because you're in it for yourself.

That said, I unironically consider Hakuna Matata to be a villain song, so...

Sleeping Beauty - N/A
101 Dalmatians - Kind of hard to say. Cruella DeVile isn't actually sung by a villain, it's a song about a villain. I guess we'll count songs about villains as well, I'll denote it with an asterisk

The Littler Mermaid - Poor Unfortunate Souls
Rescuers down under - N/A
Beauty and the Beast - Gaston / Kill the Beast

Emperor's New Groove - N/A, but a fun note. Before it became a comedy and was about Izma stealing the sun, a villain song was recorded. It was released, it's called Snuff out the Light.
Atlantis - N/A
Lilo and Stitch - N/A
Treasure Planet - N/A
Brother Bear - N/A
Home on the Range - Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo, this song actually slaps hard and is the only good thing from the movie
