"The Villain Sucks" Song | comment |
The Villain Sucks Song is differentiated from the Villain Song in that it is not sung by the villain, but about the villain. The Villain Sucks Song basically just describes how the villain is a cruel person in every way, hopefully with lots of witty jabs. This song is sometimes interrupted because the villain is Right Behind Me. Sometimes also becomes a Insult Backfire, because some villains actually find it flattering, especially if they are a Card-Carrying Villain. Note the character this song is aimed at doesn't have to be a Pure Evil villain. It can also be sung about a main character who starts off bad, but who is destined to undergo a Heel–Face Turn. Not to be confused with the villain sucking at being a villain, though that might also be the case. In period pieces, this can overlap with Hail to the Thief. If it's sung to the villain, it could count as "The Reason You Suck" Speech. For the villainous version, see "The Hero Sucks" Song. Compare Warning Song, a song that warns the listener about dangerous things or people. It may also be a Diss Track. Examples |

In the Disney Animated Canon: Peter Pan had "Never Smile at a Crocodile", which was about Tick Tock the Crocodile. Lyrics were written for it, but only the melody made it into the final film (though the song ended up in a Sing-Along Songs video, however). On the other hand, the sequel Return To Never Land has "Here We Go, Another Plan", which starts out praising Captain Hook but ends up mocking him in the last line. The Disney adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad features Bing Crosby's dangerously catchy "The Headless Horseman". Also the rare "Villain Sucks" song to be sung by the villain (maybe). Beauty and the Beast inverts this with "Gaston", a song about how great the villain is. Later in the movie we get a "The Hero Sucks" Song in the form of the "Mob Song", led by Gaston. "Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmatians. She apparently doesn't like it very much, given hearing it on the radio in Patch's London Adventure is enough to make her kick her dashboard until it shuts up. Even the live-action version has the song play over the credits, even though there's no in-universe version since Roger got his career changed (again). Robin Hood (1973) has "The Phony King of England", written by Johnny Mercer, of all famous songwriters one otherwise wouldn't associate with Disney. The aforementioned king catches Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham singing this song, and chucks a bottle of wine at the latter, just barely missing him — but covering him with the contents. Upon being told the whole village is singing it, he says they'll be singing a different tune from now on. "Double the taxes! Triple the taxes! SQUEEZE EVERY LAST DROP out of those insolent — musical — peasants." Played with in The Little Mermaid with "Poor, Unfortunate Souls", the gist of which is Ursula the Sea Witch, as part of her evil plans, trying to convince the heroine that Ursula's "Repented, seen the light and made a switch". The con is obvious to everyone but a naive, sheltered little princess: In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the song One of Us certainly sounds like this, but the reality is a lot more complicated Pocahontas has "Savages", which consists of the English and the Powhatan natives each singing about how evil and uncivilized the other side is. The Hunchback of Notre Dame opens with "Bells of Notre Dame", most of which is all about just how evil Frollo is and how he's the real monster of the story. It's one long Moral Event Horizon in song form. So much so that the backing vocals borrow "Kyrie eleison" and "Dies irae" from liturgical music. "Lord have mercy" and "Day of wrath" indeed... The first reprise of "The Gospel Truth" in Hercules was one for Hades, although it was very short. Another very short Villain Sucks Song was written for Aladdin but isn't in the final version. Originally, "Arabian Nights", like "The Gospel Truth", had several reprises as different parts of the story were being introduced, and the first one was supposed to set up Jafar as the villain. A song written for (but not used in) Pinocchio, "Monstro the Whale", is about the whale's status as the "undersea public enemy." Winnie the Pooh: "Heffalumps and Woozles" from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The Backson Song from the 2011 movie. Encanto has "We Don't Talk About Bruno" which details the many ways the family's Black Sheep Bruno has ruined the lives of the Madrigals and the town's residents with his predictions. Ultimately a subversion, as Bruno is a genuinely kind person whose Harbinger of Impending Doom powers have given him a bad reputation because everyone else thinks Cassandra Did It. "Knowing What We Know Now" from Wish (2023) is sung by Asha, six of the seven Teens, and Queen Amaya when they find out how cruel and tyrannical King Magnfico really is and try and find a way to defeat him. |

The Simpsons both plays this straight and parodies it: "You Only Move Twice" parodies it with "Scorpio", which is structured to sound like it's criticizing the titular character but which merely makes him sound like a Benevolent Boss. Tito Puente's slanderous mambo "Senor Burns" in the 7th season premiere. Homer singing a self-praising version of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" as he steals Springfield's Christmas presents (in an attempt to make them see the real meaning of the holiday beyond commercialism). He also writes one about Flanders...but only Homer would see Flanders as the villain, since he's the most kind, decent person in town. |

The Dragon and the Butterfly features a reworded version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" titled "We Don't Talk About Hiccup". It's sung by the Berkians about how Hiccup was the most disliked person in the village and how many of the Vikings are glad he's gone. Much like the original version, the subject of the song isn't actually a bad person; the people singing simply see them that way because they blame them for their troubles. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: "Baby, It's Cold Outside, Part 2" has "How Can You Be So Cold?", sung by Megan and the ponies in response to King Charlatan's cold-hearted ruthlessness. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic In "Bridle Gossip", Pinkie Pie comes up with a short but catchy one about Zecora, though without any actual evidence that she's really evil or does any of the things sung about. It's later Deconstructed after the Mane Six meet Zecora for the first time. "Bats" has Applejack, and eventually the rest of the Mane Cast (sans Fluttershy), singing about what vile creatures the vampire fruit bats are and how they need to go; Fluttershy's verses, on the other hand, are about how the bats aren't as bad as her friends make them out to be. "One Bad Apple" has "Bad Seed", which describes Apple Bloom's cousin Babs Seed's intent to make the Cutie Mark Crusaders' lives miserable. This is also Deconstructed when it's discovered why Babs has been bullying the Crusaders. She was also a bullying victim in her hometown of Manehattan. |

The House That Jack Built centers around the titular Jack, an unrepentant serial killer who's murdered over sixty people, recounting some of his murders to Virgil as they explore Hell together. When Jack tries to reach a staircase leading back to Earth at the end of the film, only to fall into the deepest part of Hell, what plays over the credits? "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles. | |

"Bad influence" from Jem is an odd one, seeing as the Holograms (minus Kimber) and the Misfits (minus Stormer) sing it as a duet, the latter band using it as a "The Hero Sucks" Song.

Although aimed at the villains as a whole rather than individually, Muppet Treasure Island opens with Shiver My Timbers, which is this trope for the verses but switches to a straight Villain Song for the chorus. | |

RWBY: "This Life is Mine", which is basically Weiss calling out her Abusive Dad for his terrible treatment of her, and how he can't control her anymore. "Nevermore" is a duet from the point of view of Blake and Yang as they verbally tear into Adam by taking apart everything he built himself up as in "Lionized" and declare that he'll never be able to hurt them anymore. |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame opens with "Bells of Notre Dame", most of which is all about just how evil Frollo is and how he's the real monster of the story. It's one long Moral Event Horizon in song form. So much so that the backing vocals borrow "Kyrie eleison" and "Dies irae" from liturgical music. "Lord have mercy" and "Day of wrath" indeed... | |

Robin Hood (1973) has "The Phony King of England", written by Johnny Mercer, of all famous songwriters one otherwise wouldn't associate with Disney. The aforementioned king catches Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham singing this song, and chucks a bottle of wine at the latter, just barely missing him — but covering him with the contents. Upon being told the whole village is singing it, he says they'll be singing a different tune from now on. "Double the taxes! Triple the taxes! SQUEEZE EVERY LAST DROP out of those insolent — musical — peasants." | |

The James Bond series loves these, though it's less "the villain sucks" than "the villain is pretty awesome but dangerous and evil". The title song to Goldfinger. "He loves only gold; he loves only gold; he loves GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!" Why yes. Yes, he does. Likewise, the innuendo-laden Lulu song for The Man with the Golden Gun. "He has a powerful weapon", apparently. "Who will he bang? We shall see..." And the lyrics for Thunderball are less explicit, but appear to be talking about a man who "looks at the world and wants it all", and "strikes like Thunderball". The whole point of that song was that it could be either about Bond or the villain, Emilio Largo. |

The obscure air-racing game Freaky Flyers has "Pilot-X", a song that plays once you've gotten the titular alien's robot down to half its health during the final battle. It's a Musical Pastiche of The B-52s that starts off complimenting him...up until the second verse, which goes on to describe how unfamiliar he is with Earth's gravity and how big of a problem that is for him. By the fourth verse, the song has pivoted to talking about how stressed out he is. | |

Peter Pan had "Never Smile at a Crocodile", which was about Tick Tock the Crocodile. Lyrics were written for it, but only the melody made it into the final film (though the song ended up in a Sing-Along Songs video, however). On the other hand, the sequel Return To Never Land has "Here We Go, Another Plan", which starts out praising Captain Hook but ends up mocking him in the last line. | |

Assassin's Creed: Revelations has a mission in which the Assassin Ezio Auditore must infiltrate a party to prevent the assassination of Prince Suleiman. To do so, he disguises himself as an Italian minstrel (the Goddamned Bats of the two previous games, funnily enough). Then he sings songs ridiculing the villains of the two previous games, Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. It includes the Borgias, the Pazzis... and even Duccio, a jerk who insulted Ezio's family. | |

While not "villains" per se (they don't actually ever appear), the male portion of "Six Months Out of Every Year" from Damn Yankees probably qualifies for its abuse of the title team. | |

Animaniacs (2020): Season 2 had the Warners confront Christopher Columbus, at which point they sang a song about him claiming credit for discovering a land that already had millions of people living there, enslaving them, and getting really lost so that he thought he was in India and saying that he didn't really deserve to have a holiday named after him. | |

Tori from Victorious uses one of these to give Ryder Daniels a Humiliation Conga. She and her friends write "Begging On Your Knees", which details Rynder's way of using girls' love for him to manipulate them and explain how she (and his ex-girlfriends) will have revenge on him. She then sings it in front of the school while her friends force him to remain on stage and take his punishment like a man. While it doesn't mention Ryder by name, in the context it's used, it works as one of these. | |

"Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmatians. She apparently doesn't like it very much, given hearing it on the radio in Patch's London Adventure is enough to make her kick her dashboard until it shuts up. Even the live-action version has the song play over the credits, even though there's no in-universe version since Roger got his career changed (again). | |

An extended version of "Kyle's Mom Is A Bitch"note see the Western Animation section below for the original from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Kyle's mom appears directly behind Cartman, who's singing the song, towards the end — causing the other children to all gasp in horror. After his grand finale, he looks up to see the children staring at him, and he says, "What?!" He turns around. "Oh, fuck." He proceeds to get a chip installed in him causing him to get zapped every time he swears. | |

The Muppet Christmas Carol has a The Villain Protagonist Sucks song about Scrooge here. The lyrics are basically about how Scrooge is a cold-hearted, miserly Jerk with a Heart of Jerk who absolutely nobody likes. There is a rare combination of this with a normal Villain Song with "Marley and Marley" as in death they discovered just how big a pair of Heels they were. |

The main cast of Glee does one of these in the episode "Original Song", called "Loser Like Me" which is an anthem to the underdogs of the school. Sue, who has taken every step imaginable to keep New Directions from succeeding in any way, shape, or form, is in the audience and her face slowly goes from just watching the song to looking like "Wait a minute..." It's a gigantic "Screw you!" for all she's put them through over the course of the show. Season 3 antagonist Sebastian Smythe gets one of these - within minutes of his first appearance! Played with in that the song being sung in this case - "A Boy Like That" from West Side Story - wasn't sung with him in mind for any of the Glee club members in-universe. The school happened to have West Side Story as their musical that year, and the song cuts between Santana singing this song as Anita and Sebastian's conversation with Blaine, providing a sort of musical exposition for the audience to show just what kind of guy we can expect him to turn out to be. |

Between the Lions has a musical animated sketch about a villainous character called Silent E who makes vowels say their names, resulting in some words having a silent E at the end. What's worse, though, is that not long after he is carted off to jail, he escapes turning either a cop's pin or cap into a pine or cape respectively and sets out to make more vowels say their names. | |

Mean Girls: The opening of "Meet The Plastics" sung by Janis and Damian serves as this for the titular clique. It's half them fearing the girls and advising Cady to stay away from them, and half insulting how fake they are. "Apex Predator" plays this straight with all of Janis's portions, warning Janis of how dangerous Regina can be and compares her to a lioness in the wild, hunting its prey, further advising her to stay away, which Cady, of course, doesn't listen to. |

"Lord Laharl's Hymn" from Disgaea. The general declarations of his awfulness are badges of honor to the Card-Carrying Villain overlord rather than insults, however. Same with the "Etna Boogie", which plays it a little more straight. A little. Disgaea 3 gives us "Onwards Mao" which describes the main character as a Mad Scientist. |

"The Rains of Castamere" from A Song of Ice and Fire is about the last lord of house Reyne (whose seat was the castle of Castamere), who rebelled against House Lannister, and what Tywin Lannister did to him and his house in response. Tywin, needless to say, is fond of the song. He even gets a practical use out of it; when other lords loyal to House Lannister have considered acts of rebellion and such, Tywin has responded by sending a musician to sing "The Rains of Castamere" to those lords. Their capitulation was quite swift. | |

"Pore Jud is Daid" in Oklahoma! amounts to Curly making a bunch of thinly-veiled jabs at Jud. Interesting example because it's a duet sung with the villain who doesn't catch the insults. It's a parody of Never Speak Ill of the Dead because Curly is singing about how much everyone would like Jud if only he would kill himself. | |

Which is just a Dark Reprise of Literal Monster, since he revels in his status and agrees that the nerds should be afraid of him. | |

Subverted in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Nick Cave sings the real-life song "The Ballad of Jesse James", which vilifies Robert Ford and casts James as a martyr. Ford hears the song and is enraged by the bias as well as his own guilt. | |

Bartok the Magnificent opens with this. It's not so much The Villain "Sucks" Song as a The Villain is "Damn Scary" Song. And it is not so much a The Villain is "Damn Scary" Song as a subversion, as Baba Yaga turns out to be a red herring and not evil. | |

In Titanic, the song "The Blame" consists of Captain Smith, builder Thomas Andrews, and owner J. Bruce Ismay each singing about how one or both of the others is responsible for the ship's sinking. No matter who you think is responsible, this song explains why he sucks. | |

Speaking of A Christmas Carol, the 1970 musical adaptation, Scrooge, has one of these about the title character, the snarkily ironic "Father Christmas". From the same film, "Thank You Very Much" is about how happy everyone is that he's dead. Later, "Thank You Very Much" is sung in earnest in a Bright Reprise after Scrooge changes his ways and cancels everyone's debt to him. None of the lyrics are changed; the song itself is about how the singer is grateful for an unspecified favor, the only change is the favor that caused the song to be sung. The lyrics of the "Father Christmas" reprise, however, change dramatically. |

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver ended its segment on SLAPP suits like this. John and an ensemble of performers essentially invoke Refuge in Audacity and claim that Bob Murray (a Corrupt Corporate Executive who previously filed a SLAPP suit against the show) has done multiple horrible things, including assaulting Nancy Kerrigan For the Evulz, causing both World Wars, being the Zodiac Killer, supplying Bill Cosby with his rape drugs, and not liking Tom Hanks. (The Refuge in Audacity part being that since all the claims are clearly jokes, they aren't grounds for a libel lawsuit.) | |

Some of the different sets of lyrics that have accompanied the Blackadder theme tune over the years could be said to fall into this category (the first and the second season specifically). Particularly those from the first series, which claim "he's very bad indeed", and berate him as "you horrid little man". The second season actually has different lyrics in each episode, relevant to the episode (and, on at least one occasion, taking time off from berating Blackadder to poke fun at Lord Melchett instead). The second one is doubly funny because Blackadder ends up fighting and chasing the Bard who sings it. The third and fourth seasons (in the fourth one the latest Edmund Blackadder is less of an outright Villain Protagonist) do without the lyrics altogether and subvert it. Blackadder's Christmas Carol opens with a version about how nice Ebeneezer Blackadder is, and the triumphant ending theme of Blackadder Back and Forth seems quite positive about Blackadder becoming king and possibly going on to rule the world. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic In "Bridle Gossip", Pinkie Pie comes up with a short but catchy one about Zecora, though without any actual evidence that she's really evil or does any of the things sung about. It's later Deconstructed after the Mane Six meet Zecora for the first time. "Bats" has Applejack, and eventually the rest of the Mane Cast (sans Fluttershy), singing about what vile creatures the vampire fruit bats are and how they need to go; Fluttershy's verses, on the other hand, are about how the bats aren't as bad as her friends make them out to be. "One Bad Apple" has "Bad Seed", which describes Apple Bloom's cousin Babs Seed's intent to make the Cutie Mark Crusaders' lives miserable. This is also Deconstructed when it's discovered why Babs has been bullying the Crusaders. She was also a bullying victim in her hometown of Manehattan. |

Biker Mice from Mars had an album by Jeff Scott Soto that featured three songs dedicated to describing how nasty one of the villains from the cartoon was. "Rockin' in the Pit", which was about the Pit Boss and his tendency to kidnap and enslave people from the surface. "Look out Below", which was about the main antagonist Lawrence Limburger. "Tunnel Rat", which was about the villain of the same name. |

Zig-Zagged with Kurt Angle's WWE song with the crowd going You Suck!! (Thanks to Edge) This became commonplace and was done by the fans even when Angle turned Face, and Angle himself in-universe actually came to feel that it was not only a compliment that the fans got into the act with the song, he more than once encouraged them to do it, including having the song play as part of a promo and exhorting the crowd to sing it at the top of their lungs! He even used it as part of a badass boast: In a later face turn, Kurt Angle inverted this in a different way, twice. Initially he actually started (usually against heels) starting to point at his opponent saying "You Suck" alongside them and the announcers actually played this as the crowd now respecting Kurt Angle and showing contempt towards his opponent. Interestingly the only face he ever did this against was Rey Mysterio once. Later his theme song was modified to leave out the part where the crowd chanted "You Suck' entirely, though some crowds would still say it at random intervals. |

The rap even explicitly ended with "Big Show sucks!" - which the crowd then echoed back in unison. Despite Cena himself being a face for most of his career, his overexposure caused many to get sick of him (putting him basically on the same level as a heel to them), and caused them to sing "John Cena Sucks!" to the tune of his theme whenever he came out. Cena himself embraced the chants and even taught the audience on Conan O'Brien's show to sing "John Cena Sucks!" when he was a guest there. Recently, the chants have died down considerably, mainly because Roman Reigns is now in the position of overexposure that Cena once was in and the crowds have come to appreciate Cena's talent over Reigns. |

In the 1974 Jack and the Beanstalk anime there's the song "Tulip!" which is all about Jack insulting the giant named Tulip. | |

"Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher" from Billy Elliot: The Musical. While she does not herself appear, Margaret Thatcher is the nearest thing to a Big Bad in Billy Elliot. | |

Happens in-universe in The Critic. Jay's girlfriend Alice is being pursued by her country singer ex-husband Cyrus. She knows he's a cheating swine, but his singing is her major weakness. Just as he starts to win her over with a song, Jay bursts in with an accordion and sings an obnoxious polka tune about how much of a sleazeball Cyrus is, breaking his spell. | |

Assassins: None of the ballads the Balladeer sings about the assassins are particularly flattering, but "The Ballad of Booth" and John Wilkes Booth is especially biting. | |

Played with in The Little Mermaid with "Poor, Unfortunate Souls", the gist of which is Ursula the Sea Witch, as part of her evil plans, trying to convince the heroine that Ursula's "Repented, seen the light and made a switch". The con is obvious to everyone but a naive, sheltered little princess: | |

And the lyrics for Thunderball are less explicit, but appear to be talking about a man who "looks at the world and wants it all", and "strikes like Thunderball". The whole point of that song was that it could be either about Bond or the villain, Emilio Largo. | |

On the "old west" episode of Spongebob Squarepants, SpongeBuck's idiot friend leads everyone in town into one about how horrible Dead Eye Plankton is. Dead Eye approves. And predating that, the episode "Dunces and Dragons", Squidly, the royal fool, sings a song to King Krabs to make up for making a bad joke (SpongeBob and Patrick had joined along in the singing), but the song was insulting that King Krabs had ordered Squidly, SpongeBob, and Patrick to be executed. |

Fantastic Mr. Fox has two. One is taken from the book as a nursery rhyme, the other is sung by Petey during a montage of Fox and the other animals committing a mass theft of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean's storerooms. Bean even berates Petey on the second occasion... for making it up as he goes along. | |

Miami Connection: the film opens with the ninja villains stealing a shipment of cocaine, then introduces the heroes singing "Against the Ninja," a song about the evil ninjas, which is strange considering that the heroes have not met the ninjas yet and know nothing about them. | |
