Only David Bowie could be surrounded in Jim Henson creatures and still be the most unique character in the room.

Given how many other "Tim Curry as a singing villain" movies people posted, perhaps he could have his own count-down video?

[sani]

Labyrinth has always put a smile on my face, whether the whole movie is on or even just a clip :)

[theatergeek]

I liked "In the Dark of the Night" from Anastasia and "Toxic Love" from Ferngully

Magic Dance, nobody will ever replace David bowie as the goblin King.

[SySnootles]

"Hellfire" by Judge Claude Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a masterpiece. Sad to see it missing from this list.

Tim Curry is such a genius. Idk it it’s on the list cause I haven’t finished it yet but Sweet Transvestite is definitely my favourite villain song.

[Goldengirl]

They can't all be #1 but David Bowie, Tim Curry, Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman are all #1 villians in my book! 🤩😍🥰

[MTTT]

We start this list with Tim Curry. And we finish with Tim Curry. He truly is the greatest villain actor of all time!

[Chocobear]

As much as I love "Magic Dance, " for me the stand-out is "Underground."

The dentist in Little Shop of Horrors wasn't just cocky, he was a narcissistic sadist who beat his girlfriend (the original Audrey) which was how Audrey II convinced Seymour he was a perfect target

I was not expecting the “Spanish Inquisition” song from “History of the World, Part 1” to make the list. But I’m happy it did! A great jab at the real Spanish Inquisition!

The irony of Veruca Salt is how different Julie Dawn Cole was from her. Veruca was a spoiled, only child with a wealthy(ish) father. Julie was a well mannered, second child of a divorced mother who lived in a poverty stricken neighborhood. And the only real confrontation she ever had was competing with Denise Nickerson for the affection and attention of Peter Ostrum. Though I don’t if you could call it confrontational. What’s more, she was often told by the director to be nastier. Clearly it didn’t come naturally to her.

I was about to rage when I got to Bowie at number 2, but I stood corrected when I saw Curry at number 1

[charlesperrodin]

I nominate “You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two” from “Oliver” wherein Fagan, the corrupter of children, charms Oliver Twist into the joys of criminality in mid 1800s London.

[Duraffinity]

I am really dating myself here, but I STILL have the 'Labyrinth" soundtrack on CD. :)

[LadyEowyn]

Two things. One. I always think of "Easy Street" as the villian song from Annie. They are singing about pretending to be Annie's dead parents in order to get money. Miss Hannigan had the necklace. She never bothered to tell Annie her parents were dead. That's a villain.

Two. The only song I remember from Labyrinth is "Magic Dance". That was my jam as a kiddo.

[RijackiTorment]

Tim Curry is the most delicious villain both in voice and acting. Jared from Labyrinth is a close second to many of Tim Curry's evil characters, including Lord Darkness who sadly didn't have a song just perfected evil.

[crystalfajman]

Is Jareth really a villain? Sarah wished her brother away, one might sat he was teaching her a lesson (be careful what you wish for). Isn't he more of an anti-hero or anti-villian?

David Bowie and Jim Curry on the throne. Not surpised. Just legendary and so deserved. Voices and singing styles so great and unique they make me shiver every time.
Love it.
And just can't help being charmed by good villains and their catchy songs.
