* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' had Dr. Forrester sing "Who Will I Kill?" about TV's Frank after the latter's AscensionToAHigherPlaneOfExistence. [[{{Understatement}} It's pretty suggestive.]]

Contrast FinalLoveDuet.

* Though hopefully not a sexual kind of love being promised, "Trust in Me" from ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', sung by Kaa the snake as he tries to lull Mowgli into a false sense of security and eat him.

* Inverted by TheMegas with "Don't Mess With Magnet Man", which takes place after the villain's won and then lost the girl, and wants her back, but the more immediate problem is [[MySisterIsOffLimits her heavily-armed brother.]]

* ''{{Evita}}'' has two. "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You", in which Eva Duarte meets future husband and budding politician Juan Peron, and convinces him that they'd be perfect for each other. She's shamelessly manipulating him, as she does for their entire marriage - if he knows yet depends on the production. And then there's "Waltz for Eva and Che", which isn't quite a love song as much as Eva and Che manipulating and sniping at each other's perceived faults.

* Music/TomLehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" has the singer taking his love to the park to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin poison pigeons]] (except those they take home to experiment on).

* "Skullcrusher Mountain" by Music/JonathanCoulton, about a cartoonish DiabolicalMastermind confessing his (implicitly genuine) love for [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty a female captive]].

*** It says a lot about the show that the audience typically thinks of TheHunter as a douchebag by the end of it, and not only as a result of MisaimedFandom. You're ''supposed'' to like the vampires.

** "Love at First Fright" is a love song to the girl from ''TheExorcist'', from the perspective of the demon possessing her.

* "If You Could See You" from ''Theatre/Portal2TheUnauthorizedMusical'' is this. The scene starts with Cave Johnson confessing his love to Caroline, and ends with [[spoiler: Cave ordering Caroline to be [[BrainUploading put in a computer]] [[MindRape against her will]].
-->'''Cave:''' ''I understand your objection / But, yes or no, we'll begin / If you could see you through my eyes...'' Well... [[IronicEcho Say goodbye, Caroline]]]].

* "If You Could See You" from ''Theatre/Portal2TheUnauthorizedMusical'' is this. The scene starts with Cave Johnson confessing his love to Caroline, and ends with [[spoiler: Cave ordering Caroline to be [[BrainUploading put in a computer]] [[MindRape against her will]]]].

* "Our Love is God" and "Meant To Be Yours", from ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''. The first one starts very softly, like a very sweet love song, but it changes as [[spoiler: JD actually kills Kurt and Ram to Veronica's horror]]. In the latter you have JD begging Veronica not to fight with him anymore and telling her that they're meant to be together, while simultaneously [[spoiler: threatening to kill her for leaving him and detailing his plan to ''blow up their high school.'']]

* "Our Love is God" and "Meant To Be Yours", from ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''. The first one starts very softly, like a very sweet love song, but then it changes as [[spoiler: JD actually kills Kurt and Ram]]. In the latter you have JD begging Veronica for not fighting anymore and telling her that he was meant to be hers, after [[spoiler: threatening her for leaving him and telling her his plan of making their high school blow.]]

* [[EvilIsSexy "Evil is Hot"]] from ''Film/TheToxicAvenger: TheMusical''.

** A probably better example would be Turpin's "Johanna", in which he's not directly singing to her (much like the Dr. Horrible examples), but is expressing his extreme lust for her. Unlike the latter example, however, there's nothing funny about it. Unless you find the idea of a man in his fifties whipping himself and climaxing over a sixteen year old [[WifeHusbandry he has brought up like a daughter]] humorous, that is.

* A LongList from ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'':

* Inverted in ''TheMikado'': the meek Ko-Ko courts the terrifying antagonist Katisha in a duet they sing about how there is beauty in scary things like storms and fierce animals.

* Herbert's part in "Wenn Liebe in dir ist" from ''TanzDerVampire'' can be seen as one of these, [[FlamboyantGay in his own]] [[LesbianVampire special way]]. (This largely depends on the ratio of [[TheWoobie woobieness]] to [[DepravedHomosexual pervertedness]] he's played with.) More straightforwardly, there's practically ''all'' of Graf von Krolock's musical interaction with Sarah.

* "Skullcrusher Mountain" by JonathanCoulton, about a cartoonish DiabolicalMastermind confessing his (implicitly genuine) love for [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty a female captive]].
* TomLehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" has the singer taking his love to the park to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin poison pigeons]] (except those they take home to experiment on).

* Another Wildhorn example: In ''Theatre/TheScarletPimpernel'', Chauvelin sings "Where's the Girl?" to Maugerite in an attempt to rekindle their old romance as well as to remind her of their mutual passion for TheFrenchRevolution. She rejects him.

* "Where's the Girl?" from ''Theatre/TheScarletPimpernel'' musical adaptation.
* The latter part of "The Madness of King Scar" from Broadway's ''The Lion King.''
* ''Evil Dead The Musical'' sets this trope to happy circus music in "Join Us" and again in "Housewares Employee (Reprise)"

* The title song from ''Film/GoldenEye'' qualifies (despite having nothing to do with the actual motives of the film's villain) as does the one from ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough''.

* [[EvilIsSexy "Evil is Hot"]] from ''TheToxicAvenger: TheMusical''.

* While it could be said that anytime Dr. Frank-N-Furter is singing in ''TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' he's seducing someone, the show has an interesting subversion in "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me" where Janet sings a song about how the bad doctor seduced her, and how it changed her -- to the point that she's now seducing Rocky.

* ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'' uses "C'mon Marianne" by FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons to serve this purpose
