Top Sixteen Disney Villians in my Mind

Alright, this week I am gonna start the lists off with the Top 16 Disney Villains and their Theme Songs. why you ask? Because we all grew up with Disney, it was our discovery source of VILLAINY and plus, their songs were so god damn awesome not to mention catchy.
Sit back, enjoy my rendition of the Top Disney Villains and their Themes.
16- Hades' The Gospel Truth II - Hercules http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaVMxugfJuk
I gave this one the sixteenth spot for a few reasons, first of all it was REALLY short. Second of all, yes it covered the feel that Hades and the Underworld brought to you let alone the feeling that you would feel if you had to sing about Hades (its James Woods for Christ sake) But over all the song was good...for the 45 seconds to a minute you listen to it.
15- Gaston's Mob Song -Beauty and the Beast http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=917Q8dbpRLE
Alright this one is kick ass, the melody/tune just gets you ready with your torch, pitchfork and complete prejudice attitude ready to burn a castle, stab, mutilate and torture some poor soul just because he is different then you ALL in the name of Gaston... the fact that tea cup does his little thing in the middle makes the song a little funny because honestly, I would've burned the house down before leaving to prevent Belle and her crack pot dad from getting out. HELL GASTON SAYS BOOTY in the song, that gives it a spot on my list haha.
14-Madam Mim's...well Madam Mimfrom the Sword and the Stone- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNjkuHQGa2w
Alright, yeah this got on this list for the only reason which I state...and state once- ITS CREEPY! For the example of the fact have you WATCHED Mim's dancing, listened to her voice. God it's like strangling a walrus with a cat because of how creepy Mim gets. I pitied the poor bird boy having to watch all this. Unlike Most villain songs where the villain gets all powerful and evil, she just reminds us that not all villains graduated evil school with the flying colors of psycho and doom bringers. Some just got passed so they'd leave and live alone in the woods to spare us their spookyness.
13- Prince John's- The Phony King of England from Robbin Hood- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37bbj8HbM5I&feature=related
Hehe alright this was not a villain song where the Villain sings it showing off their evil plan but it was the only song where Prince John was actually sung about for more then a few minutes where you felt like the song would forever be repeating in your skull, not to mention the puppet show entertained us all more then the real Prince John could. I don't know why or how, but this song probably reminds me of what I'd do if me and my friends were in that situation, we'd use a puppet show about President George Bush or something or maybe some other creepy figure in our lives but the point is simple, I'd do this too and I encourage ANY one to do this about a authority figure that really is this incompetent.
12-Judge Claude Frollo-Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRO-M4XyAbM
Alright, this song has got to be THE most RISKY song that disney has put forth today. It has and I quote the Nostalgia Critic: half naked women, religious taboo and murder plotting to the degree where it is too spooky. The song is not even sung by the Villain about himself, I mean the guy is feeling horrible because he fell in love with a Gypsy (back then that is worse then murder I figure) so he starts feeling like he has to either destroy the source of his obsession (Esmeralda) or perish in a fire of damnation and pain in Hell. Over all this song makes it to my list because I never liked The Hunchback of Notre Dame but this song rocked my socks and made me want to watch it over and over just because the song was that moving.
11- Cruella De Vil- well again Cruella De Vil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcdQk7JBPzQ
This had to be my favorite jazzy well not jazzy but still song about a Villain that made you want to sing it about someone you knew in person just to make their life suck. I mean THE WOMAN HAS DEVIL in her name (yes poor joke but oh well) Cruella was wanted for cruelty to animals, dangerous driving, SCARY AS HELL hair/facial appearance WHILE driving dangerously! This woman made you want to pray to God to have a creepy cat lady show up and attack her with a purse because she just screamed "I kill cute puppies for fun." Cruella is probably one of my LEAST favorite villains because she did not even do much of her own dirty work or schemes but she was good for making the mood sour and smell like smoke/cheap cigarettes.
10- Professor Ratigan's The World's Greatest Criminal Mind from The Great Mouse Detective-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTWBgiWtzsc
Come on, Vincent Prince singing as a Rat and discussing his evil plan to overthrow the other mice, become supreme rat...mouse..rodents ^_^, the song screams evil diabolical theme from the beginning till the very end! I don't know about you but this song deserves more credit then it got. I mean I've seen ALOT of disney villain lists and he is NEVER mentioned for this song, I think he deserved more attention this song and movie were excellent and gave us a look at a classic story that now Robert Downey Jr. brought to more life as Sherlock. Over All Ratigan gave us hope in being a London Thug if we could.
9- Radcliffe's Savages from Pocahontas- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1klLTb1rbE
What can I say? Simple lines to learn, heavy drum beat. not to mention torches, rifles, natives getting war paint and all ready for war. This song was the villain song for the white man if I ever saw one. Radcliffe took advantage of the Indians kidnapping Smith and started a war. The song was a great way of showing that something simple can be hugely misinterpreted and start A LOT of problems. I think this proves that the BEST villains are the ones that can pull off doing something "good" for their own evil wants.
8- Rasputin's In the Dark of Night from Anastasia- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1vDqgsbyhQ
Alright I never really watched this whole movie, I only listened to the soundtrack and saw this scene because I felt that I should actually see the whole thing and such. Rasputin played by Christopher Lloyd was trying his best to sing with demons and other hell creatures. The song and feel of this scene for him gave Rasputin's reputation the biggest boost ever I think. Most people already feared and loathed him for the fact that he couldn't die. But with this song, well it goes with out saying, he got a bigger reputation and more points on the awesome scale.
7- Oogie Boogie's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw0aoVpFCDw
I'm serious, I'm serious, you can believe your ears. This is the boogie oogie song! This song brought rhyming back to our childhood villains. I don't mean clever rhymes, I mean blunt and obvious beating you over the head obvious rhymes that still are awesome. This is probably the only time that I've seen a sack of bugs sing, dance and make Santa Clause feel awkward. The whole time you watch this you wish that you were on some carnival ride or something that this was based on because of the colors, music, and over all feel that you get watching this. Oogie Boogie definitely makes it this far because of the fact he brings a Jazzy bass voice to the floor and shouts it till we all hear it.
6- Jafar's Prince Ali Reprisal from Aladin- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_FguEpJ3fo
Only time I think that Jafar pulls of the scary psychotic laugh without having to try, not only that but this time bad guy actually gets back at the good guy, succeeds and nearly makes the movie head in the direction of good failing and letting the world to succumb to evil! Not only that but its tune and feel of the music itself makes you feel all cool inside. This would be better if the song was a little more involving Robin Williams but oh well maybe some other time haha.
5- Captain Hook and His Singing Pirates Captain Hook from Peter Pan- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3s0xx_RP84
This only makes it up here because everyone loves a band of singing Pirates, they sing in perfect harmony, and prove that Piracy has benefits, you learn to sing, learn to get along with others, you learn to set goals and follow them till you achieve them (CATCH PETER PAN). Not to mention this song like Ratigan's previously mentioned song is under appreciated and not brought up as much in countdowns so Hook is being mentioned and remembered. This song makes me want to hunt down Peter himself and join the crew of Hook, provided the crocodile does not want to eat me either ^_^
4- Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ca_edg6RE
Oh my god, this song used to scare me, it is not exactly like all the other Villain songs but holy shit did it make you think it was. This song was in Fantasia and this was probably the darkest scene put to music to the date that it came out. This thing had demons, hell fire, spooky happy satanic creature orchestrating all the chaos, apparition like skeletal horse things not to mention whatever else you see that might spook you out. This song HAS to be listed in the Villain's countdown from Disney because this made Disney's happy good fun times drown in the toilet with all the other bull shit that you smile and laugh at before being scared shitless at five years old.
3- The Weasle's Deaths in Who Framed Roger Rabbit- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8iyYjvNgmo
Yeah I know this is not like every Villain song. I mean the weasel song from the live action mr toads wild ride IS a Villain song but this truly makes me feel like the vile humor and sick minded Weasel's true nature is shown. Not to mention when else do we get to see Eddie Vallent get tormented in the name of comedy...and Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit nearly dying all in two minutes. Plus a Weasel gets hit in the balls, that is funny for a Disney villain.
2- Scar's Be Prepared from The Lion King- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y (English but for the sake of my comments this link is the German version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKOJ5bEKPLY&feature=related
Alright I have to say this, never never never EVER will you EVER see a Disney Villain sing in a monotone British Accent, start out plotting his brother's demise to three baffling idiots. Then somehow DIVE into the Third Reich. I mean holy shit Scar becomes Hitler and his Hyenas are the Nazi battalions. His monotone singing voice even makes me feel like Hitler's plan was to take over Pride Rock THEN THE WORLD!! I love that even when the song is getting powerful, musically overwhelming and louder, Scar remains quiet, calm, sophisticated and British...it makes me feel that he is going to rule the world than after the deed is done he'll look around and say "alright, the world's mine, I am awesome...how am I getting down from this rock here...? Anybody?"
NUMBER 1 the best Disney song I feel definitely falls to this one here
*Dramatic pause for effect*
1-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyFVG4VfPmg Poor Unfortunate Souls From You guessed it, The little Mermaid
For Christ sake you got to agree, she starts off SOO helpful convincing that she is not as bad as her freaky appearance makes her seem, but not halfway through and as it carries on you realize she is the fishy devil with tentacles (sure sign of evil in cartoons) Never again will you want to meet a singing octopus, if you do swim away, make sure you have a harpoon or something that can kill zombies to make sure she dies when she tries to con you into a deal. This Villain had to be the best one to date so many times have I listened to this song and just reveled in the feeling that Ursala sent through your body and soul. She defined Disney Villain end of story.
Alrighty then this was my top count down of Disney Villains and their theme songs, if you did not agree with them I apologize and tell you that everyone has their own opinions and well oh well too late haha anyway stay watching next week I'll do either another countdown (suggestions welcome) or some other entry that will actually be interesting (again Suggestions are welcome)
