Starkid/TCB | Villain Songs Ranked

I don't own any of the clips in this video. They all belong to Starkid Productions and Tin Can Bros

[@lemonphantom6647]

When the video started I was confused about there being OVER 30 villain songs... then I realised almost every single tgwdlm song is a villain song

[@SeaSparklesLP]

i only recently realized show stopping number is a villain song and that’s on robert manion’s charisma 😳

[@Tal_lullah6166]

Ann Merc I still refuse to accept that Show Stopping Number is a villain song and Professor Hidgens is a villain

[@k0pstl939]

@@Tal_lullah6166 technically hidgens is one of the worst in tgwdlm because he wasn't infected when he sang in order to get attention of the "hive"

[@scarlettlasweet]

Literally 100% of the soundtrack is villain songs, unless you count the beginning of Moana and Emma's mini songs.

[@Tal_lullah6166]

[@jaredmcd6202]

In addition, I'd say the same for No One Remembers Achmed.

[@SeaSparklesLP]

Jackie Cohen that’s interesting to hear because i don’t think it’s very funny at all. i like it because i think it’s a legitimately good song and i love the choreo but joe walker’s character voice just doesn’t do it for me (also the transphobic undertones are yikes)
