Seriously?! The Nowhere King from Centaurworld isn’t here?!

[@ThePhantomStinker]

How did The Lion Guard not even get mentioned? Is it getting its own list? How I Got My Scar (Scar's backstory about how he turned evil) Panic and Run (a song about how terrified prey are the best prey) Jackal Style (a song about using cuteness to screw over everyone) Don't Mess With Mama (sung gospel style of all things) Lions Over All (exactly what it sounds like: a song about prioritizing yourself and mercilessly crushing everyone else) Tree of Life (a song about planning to butcher at the leisure the residents of the closest thing in the TLK universe to a wildlife refuge) Outta the Way (imagine "Be Prepared" as a catchy toe tapper) Big Bad Kenge (like "Cruelle deVille", but big band and about how he's going to kill YOU) Tonight We Strike (a song about killing their enemies in their sleep) This Is Your New Home (a song full of double-meanings and innuendo, promising safety to those they intend to kill and eat) I Have a Plan (sung by THE FREAKIN' REVENANT OF SCAR!!!) Let's Bring Back A Legend (a song about BRINGING SCAR BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!)

[@darrenkersey2448]

@@jcj268I was thinking the exact same thing. That song STILL haunts me.

(I was) Jekyll Jekyll Hyde from Arthur. I have the CD it is on

[@mykellayne]

@@ThePhantomStinker I was wondering that too.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

"You Will Remember" is the best villain song in all of Nickelodeon. The lyrics are absolutely infectious and paints Ember's tragic origin so well.

[@XJIcequeen]

Hands down

[@abareamphibia6812]

And it’s why ember is the most remembered villain from the show

[@MsMojo]

Thank you from the MsMojo Team.

[@Malfuriana]

"Nowhere King" from Centaurworld made me shiver. Very creepy and mesmerizing.

[@andrewnixon5872]

Right?!? That is the most disturbing song from a kid's show of all time.

[@abareamphibia6812]

I’m surprised it wasn’t an honorable mention, given how bright and colorful centaurworld is presented as and it hides a truly disturbing character with such a spine chilling lullaby as a his theme. It should be on this list

[@S.M.S.A]

What's even more disturbing is that the Nowhere King is similar to the Lich from Adventure Time due to their appearance and voices.

[@Malfuriana]

@@andrewnixon5872 Totally! I want it on a music box!

[@Malfuriana]

@@abareamphibia6812 Agreed.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I clicked the second I saw "Over The Garden Wall" in the thumbnail it's one of my favorite cartoons to watch during the Halloween and Fall seasons and true it does have it's share of creepy and dark songs but that's one of the many things that makes the show interesting! And I'm happy to see that "This Day Aria" also made this list, For not only is is one of the greatest villain songs in mlp fim. But it's also one of the darkest songs ever sung by an mlp villain.

[@williambragg6171]

I have to admit that What's the use of Feeling Blue reminds me of my uncle and me. After the loss of my mother and my grandmother, I was clearly the more openly emotional one while my uncle is more of the concealed emotional one. He won`t openly show it but sometimes he lets it slip.

[@jamieholmes4751]

One thing I love about Nothing Left to Lose is that at a couple of occasions, Cassandra looked like she was hesitating in what she’d done only to steel herself and stick to her dark path Part way through the song , she sees her reflex in the black rocks and seems a bit surprised by what she became At the end when she sings “now, I have nothing left to lose” , she seems sad when she locks Varian in a cage outside While Varian’s villain arc was done better in my eyes , Cassandra’s was cool .😃😃😃

[@benlevan5645]

The way her eyes widen when she's told she'll lose her soul.

[@shaunamoran71]

The Nowhere King’s lullaby from Centaurworld is dark, creepy and disturbing. Especially the Cattaur version.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Despite the dark song, What’s Opera Doc is still amongst the best Looney Tunes episodes of all time

[@williamfincher2260]

The ending portrays them as if they were acting in an opera with Bugs breaking character to tell the audience that the opera doesn't have a happy ending.

[@christophermoore5007]

looney tunes is no stranger to dark moments.

[@sarahsims6164]

What about "Don't Be a Worry, Baby" from Infinity Train? The way they used it in the trailer for Season 3 as well as Hazel singing it after a CERTAIN SCENE. Definitely a good reminder of the kind of show it was.

[@buttonsfan]

"The Nowhere King" (Centaurworld) should've been in the top five easily. The initial version has child voices but the reprices might be even creepier.

[@rosiequartzie2230]

Im surprised the Nowhere King song from Centaurworld isnt on here.

[@Soreiya]

I really love that song and how it changes throughout the series until the very end of the story.

[@suburbanmonkey]

I'd argue that 'Wither and Decay' from Tangled and 'Drift Away' from Steven Universe are both darker and creepier picks than the ones chosen.

[@ShadowJCreed]

Eh wither and decay isn’t really a song more just an incantation with how small it is. “Wither and Decay, end this destiny, break these earthly chains and set the spirit free.” Then it just repeats. Seeing Raps get possessed by a dark force when she did say it was very creepy though especially since she almost did kill everyone around her

[@suburbanmonkey]

But it's being sung and has music in the background. Sure, it is an incantation, but it's also just as much a song.@@ShadowJCreed

[@insanehiker5587]

I know that it is lesser known but the "Nowhere King's Ballad" from Centaur World.

[@spiderclone101]

How could you not include The Nowhere King from Centaurworld?!?!? That song is so creepy

[@ikeforshort5363]

As soon as I saw the title I thought for sure the Hex Girls’ “Earth, Wind, Fire and Air” would be among the top 3. It’s so mesmerizing, catchy and haunting; like a witches spell.

[@jamalvargas6146]

Summertime Lovin' From Regular Show (2010-2017) like Mordecai said "you can't touch Music but music can touch you"

[@kidferocious]

That wasn’t really a disturbing song. It was just really annoying.

[@brynne7738]

Nothing from Centaurworld? Obviously, there's the Nightmare King's lullaby, but "What if I Forget Your Face" is so sad and dark. Definitely more haunting and dark than some of these pics.

[@deanherring3622]

Yea, it is kinda weird that they left out a lot of great songs. I’m just happy come wayward soles got on this list

[@DigiDrifter]

Those, and the Whaletaur Shaman's song was rather dark as well, upbeat, but if you listen to the words, it's a dark subject. And the Woman's song near the end of Season 1, I think it's called "Nothing Good"

[@maxmeidl4909]

Here’s a fun drinking game; take a shot of vodka every time someone says “ember” in the episode “fanning the flames”. You’d most likely be 1) Peter Griffin levels intoxicated, 2) knocked out before the episode is over, or 3) your vodka bottle will be empty before the episode is done. BTW, the song does NOT count. Still, they say that name that many times.

[@artiefoxx4360]

Honestly really disappointed that none of the songs from Centaurworld made the list. There are several dark and disturbing songs throughout both seasons… Obvious choices would have been anything with the Nowhere King, or the Elktaur… But even the Whale Shaman’s song about her taking the pain away from those who needed it, or Horse’s reprise to the same Shaman where she was basically ready to commit suicide and allow her to take away her pain…

[@Kpopk1ng]

Oh my gosh when I first saw the Stalker Song from TAWOG I was like “what the heck is going on here?” 😂

[@seanhorace925]

What about: .Battle of the Bands-Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks .Jinx song-The Ghost and Molly McGee .Let’s Bring Back a Legend- The Lion Guard .Bump in the Night-Scooby Doo and the Goblin King

My ideal version of the “You Got Tricked” musical number for a possible Loud House Halloween story: The scene opens during one Halloween night with Lincoln Loud dressed as a vampire and Clyde McBride dressed as a mummy asking some bullies who are enemies with Lincoln and the Louds including his recurring nemesis Chandler McCann to enter the dark and spooky haunted corn maze set up by his family. As Luna sings the haunting Halloween track while playing on the pipe organ with the Moon Goats popping up in different places while also dressed as skeletons like Luna, Chandler and his cronies are scared out of their wits as they run through the corn maze screaming in horror when running into various spooky Halloween decorations and Halloween costumes worn by the Louds and their friends. They run into Luan Loud dressed as a mad scientist bringing her monster played by Mr. Coconuts to life, Lori Loud and Bobby Santiago dressed as vampires feasting on a zombie, Ronnie Anne Santiago as a witch cackling and flying on her broomstick, Sid Chang as a werewolf howling up at the moon and ready to pounce, a Headless Horseman statue, Lynn Loud as a horror movie chainsaw killer, Leni Loud dressed as a headless Marie Antoinette with Geo rolling by as her decapitated head, Clyde McBride as a mummy awakening from his sarcophagus, Lola and Lana as spooky scarecrows, Lisa Loud dressed as a wicked witch cackling while making potions in her cauldron with Lily Loud as a black cat, Liam Hunnicutt as another spooky scarecrow, and finally, Lincoln Loud dressed as a vampire and Lucy Loud dressed as a vampiress dumping blood on some candy-stealing bullies about to steal various kids’ candy on Halloween night with the two young vampires about to feast on someone’s blood, sending the bullies running away screaming. All the other kids come over to the spooky corn maze to experience the fun and slight scares, thus ending the scene.

Where was the nowhere king from centaurworld

[@precious_muse]

Here’s an older one, “Imagine Me At My Worst,” from the Charmkins special from the mid 80s. The big bad continually threatens the dancer he kidnapped, “Dance for me, or else!” One of his minions asked him what he means by “or else,” and he replies with this song. I thought when I was a child that the song didn’t really answer, but contemplating it as an adult sends a chill down my spine. One of the lyrics says, “I have an evil mind, as low as one can go. I’ll sneak up from behind, and then, and then, and then, you wouldn’t wanna know.” It almost sounded like he was threatening s*xual assault. Thinking about it now, I think I understand why that show didn’t become a series.

[@silverwolf1574]
