Typically in a Disney movie, the main hero has an “I want” song while the villain has an “I am” song. An example of an “I want” song is “When will my reflection show” from Mulan. An example of an “I am” song is “Gaston” from beauty and the beast. The thing that makes Judge Claude Frollo unique is that he’s one of the only Disney villains to have an “I want” song rather than a “I am” song. This sets him apart from other Disney villains. He is arguably the darkest Disney villain in one of the darkest Disney stories. On top of that, Hellfire is a well composed song in general.

There's a reason why I always say Frollo is the scariest Disney villain. He thinks all his actions are justified, no matter how cruel and inhumane they are. And Hellfire, as you said truly embodies that idea. He blames everyone but himself because he thinks he's above everyone else and is absolved of all blame. Truly a masterclass of a villain.

Aside from Hellfire, which I agree deserves the top spot, Friends on the Other Side is my favorite Disney villian song. It's soo catchy yet dark at the same time. The song is about giving into your wants. Dr. Facilier is established to be someone who gave into his want for power by becoming a voodoo bokor. He is convincing Navine and Lawrence to do the same, but of course tricking them for his own gain. It was a great way to get the audience to both hate and love his character as a villian, which is exactly how it should be.

Scar is such a great song to build up his rise to power. Be prepared indeed. Tangled mother knows best I feel is underated. It's a slight mix of ego and warning so subtle yet so direct.

Two: ‘My Evil Dreams’ from the Sofia The First episode ‘Day of the Sorcerers’, a full-blown rock ballad sung by the show’s (morally conflicted) antagonist, Cedric, which is also more of an ‘I Want’ song rather than the ‘I Am’ song typical of most Disney villains.

I gotta hand it to beauty and the beast. Its held up even after decades. But I never viewed Gaston as his main song, as it was mostly a praise by his fellow hunters. For me his villain song was always Kill The Beast and that song rocked hard as one of the great villain songs. He uses fear to confuse and anger the town into bloodthirsty action.

Friends on the other side was a mixture of Be Prepared & Poor Unfortunately Souls. The green atmosphere & A villain making a deal

Poor Unfortunate Souls: Ursula is with Ariel Mother Knows Best: Mother Gothel is with Rapunzel Love is an Open Door: Hans is with Anna Shiny: Tamatoa is with Moana & Maui This is The Thanks I Get: King Magnifico goes to open the spell book with Asha secretly following him Be Prepared: Scar is with the hyenas Friends on the Other Side: Dr Facilier is with the two men HELLFIRE......Frollo is all alone.

If there is a villain song in Frozen, it’s not “Love is an open door”. It’s actually “Let It Go”.

Mine Mine Mine belongs to Ratcliffe only. Savages was song by EVERYONE. Even Pocahontas got a verse in the song

I think the top 2 are indisputable. I would have put Shiny much higher, but each to their own! Lol. Trust in Me was missed though, and it’s sort of a classic equivalent to Madam Mim. I’m intrigued on the selection of using Dig Dig Dig instead of Savages for Ratcliffe. Dig might be the superficial desire, but Savages brings out the internal hate.

So yeah, I’d rank HeIIfire above Be Prepared on any list that’s just ranking Disney songs in general.

With respect, "Hellfire" does a _fantastic_ job at both showing what kind of person Frollo is and the stakes for the protagonists. Plus it has some fantastic bonuses for those who have an understanding of either Latin or Catholic theology: Frollo sings _It's not my fault / I'm not to blame / It is the gypsy girl, the witch, who set this flame!_ and the chorus answers back _Mea culpa / Mea Culpa / Mea maxima culpa!_ which translates to "through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault." In fact, the chorus is singing a prayer from the Mass called the Confiteor, which is a _confession of guilt._ The chorus is Frollo's conscience, and it speaks the truth he doesn't want to hear. "Hellfire" is an amazing demonstration of the nature of sin itself: knowing what you're doing is wrong and choosing to do it anyway. Frollo has one last chance to turn away from his evil path in the moment that he's interrupted by the guard, who informs him that Esmeralda has escaped the cathedral. But Frollo chooses to pursue Esmeralda anyway at the expense of the entire city. The last lines are "God have mercy on her / God have mercy on me / But she will be mine or / She will burn!" and the chorus counterpoint is "Kyrie eleison" ("Lord have mercy"). "Be Prepared" is a fantastic and memorable villain song, but "Hellfire" is on a level all its own.

Im so happy you talked about snuff out the light, and ranked it so high. Even if it never realeased in the movie. Its still a great Song. And I would love to see it play out in a movie or a show.

The discussion of Poor Unfortunate Souls and Friends on the Pther Side just makes me wish House of Mouse still existed, because I would love to see Ursula and Facilier interact. Would they be friends? Rivals? Enemies? Who knows! Would be entertaining regardless

Mad Madam Mim isn't really a villain in the Sword in the Stone, she's similar to the shiny crab from Moana and is just an incidental encounter rather than a significant part of the plot

Great list! But I personally believe that Cruella Deville is a great villain song, especially for its era when villain songs werent so prominent. Its super catchy and fun and I wish Cruella got more love as a disney villain. Her car chase scene in the end will always be epic in my mind, plus her motivation of wanting to make a puppy coat is hilariously evil too

Thank you for putting Love is an Open Door on the list. I needed that in my life.

So happy to see "Hellfire" at #1! :)

For Beauty and the Beast, I got to play Lefou and singing Gaston was so fun. Like there's no song quite like Gaston and how a bunch of people are actually praising the villain and it's not like evil henchman everyone in town loves him and I find it so interesting and unique

You forgot "Trust In Me".

He also forgot “I wanna be like you”

I think you did “mine mine mine” dirty by not pointing out the cleverness of the synonym.

Wether one might like it or not, in Latin America Alameda's song should have a special place in our hearts, as the dubbed yodeling made by the mexican voice actor was *so good* that other countries "burrowed" it for their dubs, using the mexican one instead of the original english one or try to do their own version hahaha.

You know when you really did a good job when other dubs start to use your yodeling( the actor must have felt like a legend after the yodeling part)

Can I just say, you have such an adorable voice! Very nice to listen to ❤

He doesn't sound like Ben Shapiro that's a huge plus

The red figures in the song Hellfire are saying “my fault” in Latin as he tries to blame it on Esmeralda or however you spell her name.

King Louis is absolutely a villain! He needs Mowgli to make a fire to destroy all of monkeys enemies.

No? He wants the secrets of man's red fire to turn human. You know, evolution type of thing. Unless you mean the LA version, which I haven't seen and eh.

@@Capydapy Actually, it is deeper than that. Humans are feared because of their mastery over fire. This gives humans a power over the jungle that animals don't have. King Louie doesn't think he will literally turn human by possessing fire, but he knows that humans are primates like him and thus he believes he has the potential to create fire, therefore gaining the same power humans have over the wild. Louie is completely obsessed with humans to the point where he establishes his kingdom in the remains of an ancient city, but it's not enough for him. He and his monkeys are still shunned by the jungle and so he thinks the knowledge of fire-making will fix that. He is obviously a villain since he was clearly planning to kidnap Mowgli for a long time, sending scouts to observe him and waiting for an opportunity, which came the moment he learned that Mowgli was no longer under the protection of the wolves.

hell fire hits different when it completely in latin

What about "Trust in me"?

Isn't "I Wanna Be Like You" a villian song

Even though it is a sequel, I contend that Zira's "My Lullaby" is the most violent villain song. It is bloody and sadistic.

That's a good one. I'd also include Jafar's song "You're Only Second Rate" from the Aladdin sequel. Yzma had a great song "Feel Like A Million" in the Kronk movie.

Great list as soon as at the beginning you said unreleased songs I knew that snuff out the light would be pretty high. It was a great song that I listen to frequently. I never heard of the Jafar song so I'm going to go check that one out

In the context of the Actors Life for Me, it is a victory anthem because this care free sounding song reflects the villains perfectly. They dont have any come uppance, or punishment, they keep pursuing their evil ways, still out there...singing a silky song about being care free and knowing that if they dont get you now, theyll get you later.

To me, Poor Unfortunate Souls is number 2, because the music and lyrics are superior to Be Prepared imo, but mostly because of its immediate effect on the protagonist. Ariel's major choice and transformation during it are just too important to the plot and many characters' motivations to be lower on the list. And Hellfire is incredible because it's an I Want song for a villain, when in general a lot of villain songs are I Am songs.

Super fun list I also would like to mention my lullaby from lion king 2 is very nice too.

No one has such a funny villian song as Gaston. ;)

Ahh 😍 thank you for recognizing "World's Greatest Criminal Mind"!

Wanted to see Hellfire high up on the list and tbh looking at all the rest of the songs... Disney, what the hell happened with your songs?? Hellfire SLAPS so hard and is terrifying af.

This was an Incredible Masterpiece Ranking Video for The Disney Villain Songs.

Everyone else: *talking about how Frollo and Scar are the best villains* Me seeing Tamatoa: IS THAT SCHAFFRILLAS???

I cant say until I was in that situation, but with that said Id seriously consider living in Rosa. A diverse beautiful kingdom I live in for free. I think thats worth my wish. I dont know. Maybe Id say no but it doesnt sound bad

When you think about it, Frollo acts more like a hardcore protestant than a hardcore catholic.

I feel like people miss the point of ‘This is The Thanks I Get’ and why it’s not like other Disney villain songs. Also it grows on you the more you listen to it. (I have definitely not listened to the Wish soundtrack on loop for weeks on end. Nope couldn’t be me)

Elaborate

Hellfire and be prepared should be number one. *28 minutes later* Yes! I knew it!

I love that "Friends on the Other Side" became a modern day meme.

Tamatoa is a villain so gram that a certain film and animation KZreadr took the character as his whole persona

I love Schaffirellus.

I’m so glad you included snuff out the light

This is the thanks I get reminds me of queen of mean vibes especially the end of the song from Descendants 3.

Friends on the other side really just is the best imo, princess and the frog is just an amazing setting, the charismatic nature of facilier and the suaveness of Louisiana as a setting, the two sides of voodoo, it’s brilliant

Judge Claude Frollo just has the best song!! Who ever agrees!! 👇🏻

Do you mean else?

I’m sure you’re aware several people have made a video of Yzma’s song, “Snuff Out the Light” which are fabulous!!!

Please rank all the Disney sidekick songs 🤞

Disney really got people excited for a new villain song after so long and then we end up with a modern pop tune with wonky lyrics. Better luck next time I guess…(don’t hire pop songwriters anymore Disney)

I think i know what disney's century effort should have been. A Fantasia, compiling all the best of their musical efforts

I didn't know what went exactly wrong with that line "I let you live here for free And I don't even charge you rent" as I thought the second part was just the follow up extending the first one in a different way but at the same time something sounded unnaturally odd. I also realized like what Aldone said that it was just because of the grammatical structure that went wrong just by one single word! That shows how much impact one damn little particle ruins the connected bridge between two sentences together!

Love is an open Door works, but it's more of the innocently subtle kind of insidious. Tho it does rely a lot on the visual cues as well. But the Love being an open door is that it's an opportunity. For Anna it's escape, for Olaf/Kristoff/Sven it's companionship, for later (Anna/Elsa) it's healing, but for Hans it's to exploit. He's there to exploit his opportunity. Is it the best? Nah. Is it bad? I don't think so. It's just different. It's not in your face evil. It's there to trick you. And it feels purposeful, unlike At All Costs (which feels like it could've been Asha/Star love song, but then had to rework it later for how Asha/King felt about wishes). You can tell it's purposeful by the lyrics, the timing, and the animation to back it up (how he follows her lead, how he's just out of synch, something is OFF).

It is a gotdamn crime that Snuff Out The Light was cut from the final cut of the movie. Can’t believe they took one of the best disney villain songs EVER and just scrapped it 😭

Personally, I would have switched Mad Madam Mim's song and "Love Is an Open Door". I also would have inserted the song about Prince John from Robin Hood immediately before "Cruella de Ville", then followed up with Shiny. Other than those changes, I can not think of anything worth changing.

I just realized the love is an open door has a double meaning as her desperation for love is an open door for him to come steal the crown

Mother Knows Best has always been favorite!!!
