Why do the villains always get the best songs? In this devilishly fun episode of The Music in Me, we're cranking up the drama and diving headfirst into the world of Disney villain anthems. These songs aren’t just catchy — they’re iconic, theatrical, and dripping with delicious wickedness. From the seductive power plays of Ursula in Poor Unfortunate Souls, to Scar’s fascist flair in Be Prepared, to the fiery torment of Frollo in Hellfire, Disney villains don’t just monologue — they perform. We’ll break down the lyrics, the drama, the hidden genius, and why these tunes secretly (or not-so-secretly) steal the spotlight every time. If you've ever found yourself singing along with the bad guy and loving every second of it… this one's for you.
