Lyrics:
BECKY: Well, it’s tough to be a villain. Tougher still to be minions, cronies, lackeys, imps—
You’re all thrown in jail when your bosses fail to those do-right, do-gooder-two-shoes wimps.

By the time those wanna-be overlords have overthrown their enemies and got them caught
They just can’t stop clammoring, can’t stop yammering about their brilliant plot—
Meanwhile, the hero’s got a lockpick hidden in his pocket; he’s outta there in 4 seconds flat.

Our solution is simple, arm the lock with explosives, and that is that.

So I’ve come to you with a splendid, deplorable proposition.
We’re a registered, certified, officiated LLC, and our prices are low.
Listen up! Ya need trouble, my fiends. Right here in Macro City.
Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with C and that stands for Crow!
We break the rules, we stack the deck, we leave the heroes with the check
So if you need a booby-trapped helipad...
Don’t hesitate, don’t wait ’til it’s too late,
You greatly will appreciate that we’re
Awfully, awfully good at being bad!

Now these heroes are a tricky bunch, I say, they’re a tricky bunch, they’ll try to
Talk their way out of your traps before you can throw a punch.
Talkin’ ‘bout mercy,
Talkin’ ‘bout deals!
But this fish is on the hook, and we don’t
Fall for newer tricks, much less the oldest in the book!
SCORPIOR: But how we do know that you and Crow are worth the cash we invest?
BECKY: Well, I’m glad you asked that question, sir! Here’s why we’re the best:
A free sample for your city—
I implore you to look around
Two minutes ago, no crime, now it’s burned halfway to the ground!

VILLAINS: *applause* Crow! Crow! Crow! Crow…

BECKY: Have I got any parents here? Ah.
Do y’know what kind of shenanigans your kids will get into in a villain-free city?
They’ll be helping old ladies across the street, gettin’ cats out of trees—
Using sickly-sweet phrases like…”How adorable!” and ”Well, I never!”
If you don’t want your kids turning "skywalker" on you and overthrowing the empire you worked so hard to create,
Then folks, listen up and listen good! ‘Cause I’ve only got one more refrain in me before I charge for overtime!

We break the rules, we fix the dice,
We bring our own Doomsday Device,
So each mad scientist that's gotten extra-mad
From being trounced by some young punk...
SCORPIOR: That flaunts his attitude and spunk--
MALICE: And hails from some sappy podunk--
VILLAINS: With his comedic sidekick skunk--
BECKY: Don’t hesitate! Don’t wait ’til it’s too late,
I don’t need to elaborate!
We’re awfully,
Awfully good
At being bad! ("We're awfully good at being bad!")

I'm gonna have to say this. Crow has great taste in secretaries

[crowsenpai]

One detail I like is in “The Bad Guy’s gonna win” when Crow has Mack bound in a chair Mack’s just giving him the death glare the whole time, but here when Becky has Mack bound in a chair he has a nervous look. Crow is great and evil and all, but Becky?...she’s scary.

[giarnovanzeijl]

Crow: "I have a great idea! It involves you singing a musical and showing leg!"
Becky: "No."
Crow: "You'll get your old pay back"
Becky: *Narrows eyes*

[bugsnake]

Becky: *tries to overthrow crow ever other week*
Also Becky: *sings a whole ass song to market Crow's nefarious business*
The dichotomy of secretaries

[axxcellthehornyfuckinimp]

* Bought game
* Played game
* Evil laughter ensues
* Loved every second of it

[auroracorps]

The only unacceptable crime about this is...

WHY IS THIS NOT MORE POPULAR!?

[Somewhat-Evil]

Best Becky moment IMO was in the web comic. She executed two minions for taking the last of the breakroom coffee and not refilling the pot. The ultimate evil office manager, even in a villainous organization some crimes are unforgivable early in the morning!

[logicaloverdrive]

1:59 I applaud at how clever “going skywalker on you” is, this is a great song and that’s my favorite line

[lorddee]

First Crow gets a song, now Becky has her own. Now I really want a Crow/Becky duet.

[RavinKaito]

Theres a webcomic...?

*THERES A **_GAME!?_*

Yeah, I'm in. Great job!

[bazookapenguin]

Yes I would like a Nefarious sequel please
Very much please
Pretty please with a cherry on top
An evil cherry on top

[Mario-ybgx]

If there is one thing I learned about crow that is if he wants to do something he does it in style

[diamondgirl]

i would love for nefarious to be popular, but theres one doubt in my mind

*fangirls.*
edit: i made this comment a year ago and suddenly now I'm getting replies and likes what

[sheller]

I love dapper Crow and better yet, Dapper Scorior! (He’s doing the best he can!)

[PixelatedPerfection]

"Haha"
"get"
"rekt" - the bombs' lcd screens
THIS IS WHY I LOVE CROW

[SupergamerX]

This honestly makes me want a Nefarious animated series... And I don't mean Villainous. If Nefarious wasn't so unknown to many people, I bet people would be calling Villainous a rip off of it. Why I say that? Both have villain protagonists and the titles essentially mean the same thing. It honestly makes me wonder why Villainous got so popular while this fell under the radar. This is an enjoyable indie franchise while Villainous is a franchise owned by a big name company, and I think I just answered my own question.

[LuigiFan]

First Crow, then Becky, Malice makes a cameo... You don't think? Either way, fantastic work as always! :D

[bluesimine]

Crow and Becky are on a thin line between Awesome and Scary for me. Yeah they can do really awesome things...if your a villain or henchman. But if your a hero or just get on their bad side, then it's a one way ticket to an acid bath

[DrMechano]

Another hit from Nefarious! Turned out absolutely fantastic.

[dawsonglawe]

Malice: "And hails from some sappy podunk."
Crow: "Okay, Mack, me, AND Mayapple grew up in the same place."
Malice: "I'm not sorry."
