That the Jim'll Fix It theme song is a Villain Song is indisputable. But is it too real-lifey to make it on the page?

Statler and Waldorf stinger suggestion:
Statler: Why do all these bad guys feel the need to sing about how bad they are?
Waldorf: Well, they usually have many different ways to torture the heroes. With a musical number, they can torture the audience too!
Both: Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh!
(note: the quote formatting isn't working here)
Anyway, is this good?
Edited by DrNoPuma I haven't played the particular game that Tango is from, but still... robo kitty. :D
The wifi here sucks
considering hitler isn't a character in the story, Heil Myself from The Producers, probably shouldn't be on the page
Hope your prepared for an unforgettable luncheon
Unless John Williams' orchestra is hiding somewhere in the background, the Imperial March isn't an example. And even then, the Leitmotif gives us the right feel for Darth Vader, but it doesn't tell us about him or his plans, does it?

Look at this example from the Video Games page:
- Kanye West's Power
is basically about an all-powerful celebrity getting off on how much people hate him. Sound like anyone we know?
I haven't played Saints Row, so could someone please tell me: Does that song actually appear in the game, or did the person who wrote this just write it because the song reminds them of whichever character they are referring to? It it's the latter, then it's not this trope.

No matter what I try, I can't seem to get my new ISIS entry to go into the "Real Life" folder. Could someone explain why and fix it?

You need to put it inside the folder. And I have doubts that we should have Real Life examples for this trope.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
The whole point was that I couldn't figure out HOW to put it inside the folder. What was I missing or doing wrong?
You were putting it after the closing [[/folder]] tag.

"Apocalypse" by Jesper Kyd is a soundtrack featured in Hitman: Blood Money. It's not about any specific character from the game, however. If anything, the song belongs to the Evil Secret Circle of Secrets or the Evil Omniscient Council of Vagueness. The lyrics, translated from Latin, sound villain-y enough: "Fear us, our ancestors, future generations and past." "There we are reborn, there is someone to dominate."
The arguments for this sound track qualifying as a Villain Song: First person? Check. Boasting/gloating? Check. Crowning Music Of Awesome? Your mileage may vary, but many people seem to think so.
Whether it actually qualifies as a Villain Song or not, I leave to the better judgment of fellow tropers.
I would like to suggest you add the spanish version of the Headless Horseman song in the Disney film. I grew up with Tin-Tan's upbeat song and t this day it scares me way more than the original version ever could. The lyrics got reworked to fit the change in language and feature much more demonic images than that of ghosts ans spooks, also a rough translation of the chorus is " By the night you can see him ride, after the people he will behead. He cut's heads by the bunch, already he's filled a pantheon with the dead." If anything here is a link to this version of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zriRGvjKMzU .
"Please note that just because a song is sung by a villain, it is not necessarily a Villain Song."
You could make arguments for "Good-bye So Soon" from The Great Mouse Detective being a Villain Love Song, but it's not a Villain Song.

Some of the sections seem pretty massive to this troper. Should they get their own sections like on the Complete Monster page?
the world is so complicated
I think, under the music category Iron Maiden's 'Killers' should be added, its sung from the perspective of a murderer efor Christs' sake. "My Innocent victims are slaughtered with and despise." and it even as the complentary evil laugh as well.

Why is part of the text on the page image cut off? If the full image is too big for the page, wouldn't it make more sense to cut off the side without text, or cut the text out altogether?
I found a better video for Moja Song from Loco Roco 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heeggvTaTew
I'm going to have to pull "What I'm Made Of..." as being a Villain Song. Aside from the upbeat tone, some of the lyrics fit more with Sonic than Metal Sonic. For example, the second verse easily sounds like it's referring to the past experiences that Sonic has had with Robotnik and various other final bosses in the series, and the chorus could easily be a reference to Metal Sonic's plan to gather the DNA of the other heroes in the game.

Hi, I'm new here. Just wanted to ask if it was possible to add a few more video examples. I've got a few songs I wanted to see on the page.
