The Lack of Villain Songs In MLP is disturbing

[100 beasts kaidou 321]

(See what I did there? Star wars reference)

 

But seriously MLP so far had three seasosns And each one was full of songs. I din't count the amout of songs but so far we had like 20 Songs or something(Not Complaining Ofcourse, Tara Strong has an amazing voice.) However so far we Only had Three Villain songs.

 

the first one was the Flim Flam song which I barely take as a Villain song because They weren't villain-Ish In it, Infact The song was about their product Rather than themselfs. Even if it was the only stallion song we had yet.

 

The Second One was This Day Aria. It was a really good song but It did not highlight Chrysalis very well. It was half about Cadence and The half that was about Chrysalis she was in Cadences Body. Good thing she got to sing her own version of it later in her changeling form but It was only for 30 Seconds.

 

The Third one Is Babs Seed Which Was good but Babs Seeds wasnt even the one who sang it. It was more like a CMC Song than an Actual Villain And Babs was redeemed later on the same episode and admitted she was only pretending to be a Jerk.

 

So Yeah Only One Out of three Of these are actual Villain songs and even hat Song is split in half.

 

So we never had a Villain Solo song.

 

Now I know that NMN And King Sombra are not the types to sing(Even if they did it would have been a metal rock which Might never happen in A show Like MLP) And Discord is too goofy for a villain song and The Minor Villains Are only given One Episode Which Isnt that much as they need to interduce themselfs and all.

 

But Villain songs are Usually Really cool. Disney villains have proved this alot of times with songs Like Be Prepared, Hellfire, Poor Unfortunate Souls, Gaston, the Savages. Hell if it wasnt a Disney Song, In the dark of the night was really cool.

 

And I am disappointed that MLP Barely has any.

I wouldn't really want every villain to sing about their evil plan or something but I could imagine Discord just singing his own trolol song. But if the song sounds catchy, or has a nice vibe to it then I'd be alright with villains singing. I just can't really imagine half of the villains/minor villains having a 'singing' voice xP

I actually think This Day Aria qualifies as a great villain song; because it's not about how 'evil' the villain is, just how deeply their evilness has affected other people. That's why Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame works so well, because Frollo isn't singing about how evil he is, he's singing about how tortured he is and how he's going to burn in hell. Likewise, This Day Aria isn't really about Chrysalis, it's about how her plan is succeeding and how Cadence is trying desperately to save the love of her life, while suffering from starvation and abuse. Also, we didn't know what the plan was yet, so the song was building suspense for what actually would happen once Chrysalis married Shining Armor.

 

I wouldn't mind Discord having a song, of course, but since he's no longer a villain I don't think he qualifies. A good villain song doesn't make a good villain, they're supposed to compliment them. And I had enough unnecessary, tacked-on songs in the season three finale, so no villain songs is okay in my book.

 

And how dare you dislike the Super Cider Squeezy 6000 song! xD I love that song! :3

never said I hated that song, nore did I say that This day aria sucks. I just said that SCS600 Wasnt a villain song but a random song to interduce them and their product. Also Unlike Hellfire Where Frollo sang it alone Chrysalis had to share it with Cadence Edited June 11, 2013 by 100 beasts kaidou

I do generally like villain songs, and I do wish MLP had more.

 

However, I agree with Earl; This Day Aria was fantastic. Yeah, it;d be cool if it were longer so both Chrysalis and Cadence could have more song time, but it's still my favorite song from the series.

Also, Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 isn't really a villain song. And it's probably my second favorite (don't want to brag, but I totally have their singing voices down )

 

And yeah, a Discord song would probably kick all kinds of ass.

A Discord song...That is an awesome thought. That could actually happen...He isn't a villain anymore, but still, it must happen. I echo the others in saying that This Day Aria was fantastic. I doubt that most villains are epic enough to warrant such an epic song, but that is fine with me. Don't want to over saturate it. Then again, it has only happened once...Hmm....Okay, we do need more of that.

 

Sombra song anypony?

[Fhaolan 4,494]

Imagine a King Sombra song:

 

Graaaah, grahh, CRYSTAAAAAAAAAALs

 

Okay, so it's about as lyrical as any death metal music... Heh. Actually, I'd like to hear King Sombra deathcore, just for the amusement.

[Scootalove 10,692]

We definitely do need more villain songs, since the villains have a lot of needs and what they need is more songs.

 

We could probably get a song out of Sombra and Discord since, some antagonists have villain songs already.

[~StatesTheOblivious~ 1,795]

I would like to see a good guy who turns out to be a good guy by telling his story through a song.

 

Most likely a villain song might come with a new villain. I mean, they're all pretty much only having one appearence right now except for Trixie and Discord. And those two are not that kind of definite villains.

Realisically, yeah, we do need more villain songs. Would of loved to see one for Nightmare Moon myself

[NavelColt 22,883]

Discord singing in S4 might not be all that far-fetched. At a convention or two, when asked if 'Discord would ever sing?', De Lancie responded with his famous '...Just remember that you asked that question.' I'd definitely be on the look-out for anything once S4 is upon us

[hawkflame 3,315]

Discord would have been a great candidate for a villain song, though I can't imagine where placing one would have made much sense in Return of Harmony or Keep Calm and Flutter On. 

 

Unless they made KCaFO a two parter, which it should have been. 

 

In fact, I think that would have been a perfect spot for a Discord villain song. 

 

You know how "Art of the Dress" was inspired by a Stephen Sondheim song?  Well imagine Discord singing a villain song inspired by "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin.  That would be *perfect* for Discord, especially in that episode. 

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

I could almost imagine Discord somewhat randomly singing a quick song about how much of a troll he is, but he's good now, so probably won't happen.

I don't think a villain really needs a song to describe how evil they are. I think the audience should be smart enough to realize that they are villains. It's the way that they affect others that really matters, and at least This Day Aria accentuated that. 

[Blue Moon 6,345]

Discord could probably have his own song in season 4 sometime, but other that; the most of the current villains we have now don't or didn't really need songs.

 

Nightmare Moon was too busy with her plan to be bothered with a song and a song wasn't really necessary in the first two episodes as they were busy introducing and establishing the mane 6's characters.

 

The Diamond Dogs didn't need a song. Their actions were fine on their own.

 

I liked Flim and Flam's song and it was beneficial to the episode as it provided a conflict for the episode by giving the Apple Farm competition. So, the song worked here and actually was beneficial to the plot.

 

The parasprites didn't need a song for obvious reasons.

 

Queen Chrysalis had an amazing song, and like said before; it showed how the villain's evilness effected others.

 

King Sombra was like Nightmare Moon, and was too busy with his actual plan to sing a song. And I don't think a song for him would be beneficial to the episode's plot, and I'm not sure if he even can sing.

 

Babs Seed had a nice song that emphasized the previous events that had occurred in the episode. 

 

 

Basically, I don't think songs are useful for villains unless they have a good use for the episode's plot.

I agree, I somehow feel that without be Prepared Scar wouldnt have been this popular. same goes for Gaston, Frollo, Ursula and the shadow man. Anyway who is up for a Rap Villain song.

[RrVPfX9cPtw59FpC 1,304]

Although it'd be neat to see somepony like discord sing, I think it would take away from the whole "Evil" trait. Still, somepony like Nightmare Rarity could sing.
