Thank you so much for the mention in the list, especially among all these other great choices! Writing 'Smile' was probably one of my favourite things to have created in the fan-music world and it's always flattering to see people enjoying it all these years later.
i have a question, how did you get the jazzy radio like voice of alastor ive been trying to do a video project but i cant get the rado quality of alastors voice
The simple part in “Smile Like You Mean It” that makes it so damn worth putting it in for me, is “shake the STATUS QUO in upheaval” like cmon it’s all the small interwoven things you could setup
10: A mind of inventions, immortality in the colour purple 9: Having terrible mothers as villains... GENIUS 8: ot netsil ot taerg yletulosba saw gnos sihT 7: the song just works on a list like this 6: Lives flashing before your eyes? 5: How to brighten up a hotel? SMILE! 4: Alicorn, oh holy sunlight, do not burn me down 3: Damnit, i spilt all my ink on my pentagram 2: Comes to show how insane this joker is 1: Hit me as hard as 64's game over screen
I know you picked "Smile Like You Mean It" for "Hazbin Hotel", but... The thing I love about "Insane" is that it's like: Most people end up in Hell and freak out, break down, etc... Alastor showed up in Hell and went: "FINALLY, somewhere I can have some *real* fun!" Seriously... "The things I did up there were high school, and now I'm going for my degree" just... yes.
It's...good, but it's also relatively...unspecific in comparison? You could give that song to Cherri Bomb and not have to change A. SINGLE. WORD. Of the actual song part. Yeah, you'd need a slightly different preamble, but that's about it. The song part might even fit Cherri slightly more, considering her bomb gimmick.
@@kingchey772 Well, I was just talking about the words, not instrumentation/delivery/meaning of those words. For one example? Think how the meaning of that high school line changes when applied to Cherri. Or that the last line of the chorus is about fire? Or how you could easily deliver the lines about pain to imply guilt/self-reproach and not understatement of how sadistic the character is?
Can't say I expected Discordant Decipher to actually make it on the list, was even speculating during the intro for its entry, but DAMN am I HERE for it.
The April Fools joke here is you thinking that it was going to be an April Fools joke when it was just a normal video and the April Fools was for something else
In fact, this video has inspired me to try to write a villain song from the perspective of Ymur from _Myst: The Book of D'ni,_ leader of the Relyimah faction that wanted the Terahnee exterminated to the last child as vengeance for the Terahnee oppression of the Relyimah (literally, "Unseen") slaves for generations upon generations. I imagine Ymur making a variant of Hitler's "Nits make lice" argument (in the book he claimed that the Relyimah could never be free as long as there were any Terahnee living) and claiming that the Ronay--D'ni as well as Terahnee--are not so much people as physical manifestations of oppression.
No, it’s an April Fools joke. The joke is that it’s about fan made songs (Songs that aren’t considered official). Since it’s April Fools day Josh decides to talk about something he wouldn’t do or do again, because it’s not something he would normally talk about.
Someone else also pointed out in Smile Like You Mean It, the line "Grit your teeth and get right to it," now has an extra mean about Alastor himself now we know the Radio Demon is under contract too.
indeed, Husk really got Alistor where it affected him, it only remains to be seen who managed to outwit the Radio Demon and what his true motives are behind that twisted smile.
@@FillmGeekOfDoom That does appear to be the general fan consensus. And I do think Lilith and Alastor are connected because of the same seven year absence. I prefer Finn The Pony's video theory on the matter personally.
@@FillmGeekOfDoom that would be problematic for her, since it seems that she wormed her way to Heaven, as we seen in the season finale. so i dont believe that it is Lilith at this time.
I personally like "Number 9" by Aviators for a Death villain song, but totally understand why you chose the one you did. You're right in that it's different from all the others by presenting a victim's point of view too. In fact, I'm surprised more creators haven't taken advantage of that pov. Enjoyed the video very much!!!
@@joshscorcher you forgot to mention JT music and their Doki Doki song the rest of the song is from the perspective of Monica who is the main villain the song really fits her crazy controlling personality with a pop like vibe to it with the song having a secret darkness that you noticed when listening to the song.
@@joshscorcherand the song also has subtle references to the events of the game which is in character for Monica because she's a sentient video game character and was the reason why the events of the game happened.
ua-cam.com/video/zjsXWkA2DT4/v-deo.htmlsi=kMnYpR-muHIOmo9V and you also forgot to mention this song it's about Azula from the Avatar series and it's her imagining if she won in the story with the song ending with her stuck in a mental Asylum. @@joshscorcher

It's a genuinely awesome piece of animation. Final note: This took me about an hour to procure. Seriously @joshscorcher, please put up a full list in your description, it isn't reasonable to expect people to spend this much time to look for all these songs, and if you are trying to promote these songs, you need to credit creators and provide links so people can easily find what you are referencing. Thanks for making this video, I have a couple new creators I am now following as a consequence, but make it easier for people, PLEASE.
And let’s be honest, he’s pretty much Bill Cipher, if Bill was reformed as a half decent anti-hero to Equestria (but that’s mainly if you/we were to compare MLP characters to Disney characters… despite Discord being made a year PRIOR to Bill)
Fun fact: Bendy and the Ink Machine is actually based off the Fleischers drama. Those two in the later years HATED each other, and Bendy embodies that to a TEE X3
I've never played BatIM, but I wonder if the whole "cartoon characters put their creator in peril" aspect might have been inspired by the 1935 Looney Tunes short "A Cartoonist's Nightmare", wherein one of the cartoonists at a cartoon version of Termite Terrace falls asleep at the easel while working overtime and dreams that his villains have captured him (unhappy that he "always make[s them] the chumps").
@@KororaPenguin That honestly sounds more like the plot to "Toonstruck" more than the Fleischer dilemma, but that probably was more inspired by the Looney Toons short XP
Oh my god, I literally was thinking "Tip the Scales could prolly be on here, but there's no way he'd put it as #1." And boom! I tip my hat to you sir. And you nail exactly why its so good.
Discordant Decipher is one of my repeated songs currently. That backwards message before Brandon Yates’ chorus: “Why are listening to this part backwards? Don’t tell me you’re some kind of tinfoiler. You do know this song doesn’t decide who wins, right?” is just genius!
Considering how it Did end though I kind of am both amused and annoyed. (Keeping the results to myself since don't wanna spoil anyone) RIP death battle.

I vividly remember watching this a little while after a big April Fools event and actively popped off when I saw Discordant Decipher and Death's Doorstep on the list, you have extremely good taste :)
"Smile Like You Mean It" ended up being pretty poignant. Alastor keeping a smile is something he not only talks about with Charlie in a moment he's less guarded, we the audience see how he's desperately relying on it. His powers and situation are infinitely less secure than he wants everyone to believe. Everyone is living it up in the finale song, he runs to the corner for a mental breakdown.
10:25 As someone who had no idea Discord was an MLP song when I first heard it- I find this hilarious. I have no idea who Discord is, so not my place to entirely judge. Though I now know what type of person he is, and want to know more. He sounds like if Dr. Bright was given too much power and had a somehow worse upbringing. Aka I love chaotic characters because I can’t behave that way myself and love to see it when people/characters do. Also why I love why you chose the next song instead that I have yet to hear- BECAUSE BILL
Since you mentioned the song, wanna give a shout-out to the fact that insanity, despite it merely being a hazbin fan song, was not only considered to be canon allastor by vivziepop (the song was written and performed by allastor's pilot singing actor), but was added to fortnite in the form of an emote.
I didn't even know it was called Nerdcore, I just listened to them because a lot of them are super great. I'm obsessed with a bunch of Portuguese Nerdcore songs. Funnily enough, I found them through one about William Afton/Springtrap.
The thing about "Sun of the Night" that Josh didn’t mention is that is only merely the beginning of an AU story by Jyc Row as told through music; a story that begins (I believe) with Celestia going mad with power and turning into Daybreaker, forcing Luna to amass an army, a Lunar Rebellion (the next song after Sun of the Night), to fight her sister. When that doesn't work, she has no choice but to embrace her own dark side to level the playing field, leading to the song "Night Queen"
I think you have the timeline right, following up with "Together, Against the Sisters", a short interlude song that I don't remember, and "Final Eclipse" ending the Sisters arc.
@@thecrimsoncommando3875 the interlude song was simply "Before the Infinite Eclipse" (which came in two versions, narrated and non-narrated.) After Final Eclipse there's not really a timeline songwise, just a bunch of character themes/songs, the two goddesses, their high priestesses, UEP commanders and a bunch else
I actually went to the video for “It Just Works” and asked how many people there found that song because of Josh’s vid on Bethesda. Dear Gaia, the sheer number of upvotes and replies…
The way you chose my personal favorite fnaf villain song for 10 just warms my heart. The song is underrated as heck, so hearing it finally get the praise it deserves is perfect!
I will defend "Discord" forever but I do see what you are saying. As someone who still listens to "Discordant Decipher" regularly, I am thrilled to see it here. "It Just Works!" is a masterpiece. (Awesome list Josh and Crew!)
"Tip the scales" is epic in so many regards and I'm glad you love it as much as me and so many others, one thing to note, the lyric isn't "Take on asunder as we cry blood and thunder." It's actually, "Tear Kong asunder as we cry blood and thunder." I misheard it as such for a while too though, figured I'd just make that clear since it adds even more gravitas to the song.
Being someone who actively enjoy such music, I can believe the first minute. All the popular villains tend to have three minimum, so that's at least thirty when looking at just the popular stuff. Nice selection. Especially since you listed some songs I never heard. Which goes to show how incredibly vast this category is. So, are fan made hero songs next or is this too much to expect. Heroes seem to be as vast as villains. I won't say a thing of sidekick fan songs, since there's so much more I've come upon. Good luck if you make a top ten of that.
Okay you have no idea how much i SQUEALED when I saw ParanoidDJ on the list! I'm just so proud that he's getting the recognition he deserves and the fact you mentioned that Vivize made his fan song for Stolas canon was the happiest day of my life!!
So, I got a few to mention here. One, there’s a TON of FNAF songs you could’ve chosen, and I think you picked one of the best possible. Unbroken was MOTI’s first fully original song, and it fit wonderfully. I didn’t think Death Battle was gonna count, and I’ll always be up for more Bill. Even if Alastor wasn’t in the thumbnail, I probably would’ve expected him to show up. Not complaining one bit! Smile Like You Mean It is phenomenal. Personally, the song by McGwire, “Better Than U” (about Adam), I think is even better but this is a great alternative. I FORGOT ABOUT WELCOME HOME. SquigglyDigg knocked it outta the park. Thank you for introducing me to a new favorite with Joker's Song. And OH, Tip the Scales! Man, I was so happy to see this the first time. What a magnificent love letter to all things Donkey Kong. It definitely deserves first place. What I would love to see is a final countdown, ranking ALL the villain songs from these countdown videos.
I’ll say it here Man on the internet gets the character personalities so well (Juno songs does as well but non of Juno’s stuff qualifies for a list except maybe I guess Yape…but uh Yape was literally just made by Nuno for a joke song)
I actually think that he should’ve talked a little bit more about. “ keep getting stronger” Because the funny thing is with just a little bit of tweaking, it practically predicted the threat of the final season of MLP.
Considering there was no Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom (Stringstorm), Vs. Ridley (Man on the Internet), Brinstar Depths (same artist, any of these could be interchanged tbh), Bear With Me (Juno Songs), Primal Dialga (same artist 2) and Angel (Big Bad Bosses and yes I know it's owned by The Completionist but I gotta give credit where credit is due) there sure is potential for a sequel. (Was briefly considering any of the Nefarious songs before realizing since Nefarious is an official IP I'm not sure it'd fit the criteria)
@@ericwijaya2119 I think the reason he left those off Juno's songs and the other MOTI songs (other than only including one artist per entry) is that they're not fully original. When he was asking for entries on Twitter a couple months back he specifically said he wasn't looking for any songs that were just lyric covers.
@@UnderTheUmbrella_shoot that only means out of everyone I just mentioned, Angel is the only one who has a shot With what little shot it has left since... y'know, Charity Fraud Wait this does mean Roar of the Jungle Dragon has potential to reappear so I'm cool
I love how it says that no one saw Croods a new age but no one saw it since that was literally the first croods movie and it took a whole year for me even get an opportunity to watch the 1st one.
Thank you so much for including a song from Man on the Internet! Despite all they've done, they still feel relatively unknown in the fandomsphere, so it's always nice to see their hard work getting noticed and appreciated! On top of that, Unbroken is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and was also one of their first completely original songs. It really nails what Afton's character should be, and I love how it's being recognized here. Great list, Josh! I now have a lot more songs to add to my growing playlist : D
So many thoughts crossed my mind as I was watching this. - Yay, some appreciation for Man on the Internet! I've been following him and his team since Undertale the Musical was in production; if you haven't seen that (or Chrono Trigger the Musical), take a day and watch them. - Aw yeah, a straight shot at the greatest villain in all of gaming: the corporate money machine! - I could not agree more with everything you say about Disney and Dreamworks movies. - I really need to go back and finish Friendship is Magic. I stopped watching halfway through Season 6, but I heard that it still held up and I want to see how it all plays out. - The Bendy games have soured on me for reasons I've mentioned before, but the fan songs around them really are some of the best. Besides the one you picked, I like Alice's Tango, All Eyes On Me, Build Our Machine, Can't Be Erased, Gospel of Dismay, and Instruments of Cyanide. - Ooh, Miracle of Sound! I discovered them from their Baldur's Gate 3 songs; they've made some pretty impressive stuff. - This is personal bias talking, but you know the competition in this field is tough when a Nate Wants to Battle song only makes it into the Honorable Mentions.
Bro, when you were talking about fnaf choices and then picked unbroken, I thought I was psychic. Those delusions were then shattered by discordant decipher. So many great songs made by fans, I should listen to more.
Ones I’d put on here: Reflection, JT Music (Afton) Perfection, Divide music (Perfect Cell) Ready or Not, JT Music (Mr X) Dread, LongestSoloEver (EMMI) Instruments of Cyanide, DAGames (Alice Angel) (Fan Song Month when?)
great list! any one of those honorable mentions could've made the top ten [as a Villain's Lair fan I screamed to see it on the list] would like to see a top 10 fan project countdown or 10 good things about Modern Disney cause I feel like people overlook endeavours such as Short Circuit, Launchpad, Pixar's Sparkshorts, Visions, Dreamlight Valley etc.
Discordant Decipher is a great edition. Brandon Yates knows how to make good fight music. If I were to think of an honorable mention, it would have to be Juno Songs' Battle! Lab Zero. Both versions.
Excellent songs we've got here! Everyone has done such a great job on these songs! A recommendation for a fan that makes amazing songs based on anime characters (including villains) Divide Music, makes amazing work
It's funny that you're going for that topic when Alastor's songs are some of my favorites in the Amazon show. Stayed Gone and his part of the final song of Season 1 in particular.
Checked out number one. One thing about that post credit scene that you didn't mention. You didn't mention the *GREATEST F**KING INSULT FROM A VILLAIN TO THEIR MINION EVER!* Go watch it, It's poetry, It's classic "Villain insulting their idiotic minion" banter that we don't really get anymore.
For everyone’s viewing pleasure, I shall quote it. KING K. ROOL: Klump, my dearly, dauntless Klump, remind me, if I ever were to kill myself, I could scale to the heights of your blind devotion, AND LEAP DOWN TOWARDS YOUR IQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know parodies aren't allowed but man if they were I would totally recommend "Curse of Darkness" by Dragonforce, a power metal remix of Bloody Tears complete with lyrics detailing Dracula's war against humanity and his sorrow over the loss of his wife ironically Dragonforce shows that they respect Castlevania far more then Konami nowadays (I don't know if that's admirable or just plain sad)
I was so excited to see the Number 1. I love “Return to Krocodile Isle” when it came out. As for Number 2, I wonder if there is a lament version where BTAS Joker is singing about the grief of losing his self proclaimed other half (RIP Kevin Conroy)
I appreciate you doing a normal video in April fools. Also given how hit and miss(with the misses being cursed) fan songs can be, I guess this list is fitting.
I'd recommend listening the "BIG SHOT with lyrics" from Juno Songs here on UA-cam. It really captures how insane Spamton is as a character on top of just being a well-made project that must have taken a long time to record and edit.
Maybe he'll do a "Top 10 Villain Themes Given Lyrics by Fans" (I am PRAYING that Juno's version of "The Raging Lion Roars" and RecD's version of "Baking the Wondertart" make it on such a list)
Weirdly I didn't know that discord was a fansong as I didnt get into Mylittlepony. I actually thought it was some officially released song as I saw it first with a fan made music video of a guy causing chaos in a city.
A very fascinating list that shows not only how creative the fans are, but also reveals just how deep villain songs are and analyzes the trends in how they go across the years. I know fandoms at their worst are horrific, but when you find those that truly care for what they love, the art they make conveys what spoke to them to begin with and offers some new insight.
While I do prefer Build Our Machine, I still love Welcome Home and I'm really glad it's on the list. Also Tip the Scales absolutely DESERVED to be Number One. Not only was it beautifully animated, but Benedict's still got it as the Kremling Kommander and nailed the song!
Actually Josh you might not have known this but there are Two EPIC Fan made MLP songs based on princess Luna And Princess Celestia that are Corrupted alternate versions of them, The songs are Nareth Goddess of Nightmares who is the Corrupt version of nightmare moon and Aqasha the Goddess of destruction who is the corrupt version of Daybreaker and each Song of the videos are made by Jyc Row, There are even Metal Cover versions of the two with both Jyc Row and Gabriel Borza. So i suggest you check both the original song versions and the Metal cover versions of those songs. X)
I loved Villain Songs month. Some of the videos that I keep coming back to most, along with the annual fails list (Parody of 1985 for next year's fails list?), and you introduced me to a lot of gems I'd never heard before, like "No Bad News," "Biggering," "Room of the Angels," "Look Pimpin'," "Black Sheep," and "Under Our Spell," to name a few. And you already introduced me to "It Just Works" before this video, but I'm delighted to see more. Geez, these are good...I like the Cult of the Lamb one used as transition, and Number 1 is absolute GOLD. 6 and 3 would be my other favorites out of these, I think. Thank you immensely for all of the tedium you and yours surely went through for this video, Josh. And know that your outro this time was my absolute favorite part of the video: incredibly wholesome and encouraging.
this video reminds me that of the hundreds of fan made (mainly indie horror) songs i would excitedly listen to as a kid. With Stupendium, being one of my favorite artists, the guy knows how to make a good beat and lyrics. Also, if anybody remembers the We Happy Few song "Anytime you smile" its underrated.
So happy to see Unbroken get a mention here, especially since it was one of Man On The Internet's first original songs! Thank you for showing it some love ^^
The fact that I have have “Smile Like You Mean It” memorized, is good, a great way to show how obsessed I am and a great way to show how much of a music freak I am
I hope this hints at the possibility of a top 10 Death Battle tracks some day, that's got enough bops to make multiple lists. ESPECIALLY if you open it up to the fan commissioned tracks. Reverse Rosé, Fallen Gods, All-Consuming, Final Formers, Hollow Dreams, Diabolical Invincible Me, Infection Perfection, etc. And that’s just the lyrical stuff.
For choice number 4 as a Neo Brony myself, I can relate since I too am a fan of Daybreak; Despite me choosing King Sombra first as one of the True MLP Villains. So that song in particular that I've heard of as well is a good choice, As well as the honorable mentions and the Death Battle song 🎵 [ Thanks for playing that one part backwards!]
I was going to be livid if you didn't feature Tip the Scales in some form during this list. Super glad that this was #1! All hail the King of the Kremlings!
I'm both surprised and also a tad unsurprised that I was actually familiar with most of the songs here, but boy, I am I happy to see them here, particularly Discordant Decipher, It Just Works, and especially Tip the Scales. Great choices, man, great choices. ....and now I'm seriously considering finally checking out cult of the lamb, so thanks for that.
Thank you so much for the mention in the list, especially among all these other great choices! Writing 'Smile' was probably one of my favourite things to have created in the fan-music world and it's always flattering to see people enjoying it all these years later.
Hey Paranoid. Is it a possibility for We’re Sure to Drown in Hazbin Season 2?
Please its one of my favorites @@kingofthegrimm6161
Hey paranoid I am a big fan of your music and I can't wait for your next song
i have a question, how did you get the jazzy radio like voice of alastor ive been trying to do a video project but i cant get the rado quality of alastors voice
SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT
"one per creator" this rule only exist to stop the stupendium from steam roling
which is funny considering they didn't even get an entry on the list proper, only an honorable mention

And being the buffer between the songs, which is fun enough.
stupendium solos so hard omg... i wish fiend like me was on here it's such a funny villian fan song

It is absolutely criminal that data stream wasn't even mentioned
hey look ma i'm famous
I edited the entry for Unbroken! I hope you enjoyed it. :D
Congrats Alex, you deserve it
You deserved better then nr 10.
Also I love your renditions of „Cannonball”, „Zero”, „Necromancer”, „Galeem vs Dharkon” and „Vs Ridley”
Neat
Congratulations. You made it buddy
The simple part in “Smile Like You Mean It” that makes it so damn worth putting it in for me, is “shake the STATUS QUO in upheaval” like cmon it’s all the small interwoven things you could setup
To touch a bit on Insane, think about it; the initial Alastor singer was such a fan of his own character he made a fan song about him. He's that cool.
It's somehow more Insane it managed to get added into Fortnite of all places.
This made me realize the he and jack black are similar in a way

1: Hit me as hard as 64's game over screen
For anyone wondering the backwards message is this song was absolutely great to listen to and if Luigi didn’t want this revealed, I’m sorry
I know you picked "Smile Like You Mean It" for "Hazbin Hotel", but... The thing I love about "Insane" is that it's like: Most people end up in Hell and freak out, break down, etc... Alastor showed up in Hell and went: "FINALLY, somewhere I can have some *real* fun!" Seriously... "The things I did up there were high school, and now I'm going for my degree" just... yes.
It's...good, but it's also relatively...unspecific in comparison? You could give that song to Cherri Bomb and not have to change A. SINGLE. WORD. Of the actual song part. Yeah, you'd need a slightly different preamble, but that's about it. The song part might even fit Cherri slightly more, considering her bomb gimmick.
@@Volvagia1927 Nah, not at all, Cherri isn't actually that much of a sadist, she just loves fucking shit up. also the song is in a very alastor style
@@kingchey772 Well, I was just talking about the words, not instrumentation/delivery/meaning of those words. For one example? Think how the meaning of that high school line changes when applied to Cherri. Or that the last line of the chorus is about fire? Or how you could easily deliver the lines about pain to imply guilt/self-reproach and not understatement of how sadistic the character is?
What's interesting here is that Gabriel Brown was supposed to be the voice of Alastor, but they changed it after the Pilot, hence the fan song.
Smile Like You Mean It is generally better-written and fits his character more. Insane in comparison is more of a general wacky edgelord song.
Can't say I expected Discordant Decipher to actually make it on the list, was even speculating during the intro for its entry, but DAMN am I HERE for it.
The fact it's actually a Gravity Falls entry is cool as well (Since the actual MLP entry was Sun of the Night)
The April Fools joke here is you thinking that it was going to be an April Fools joke when it was just a normal video and the April Fools was for something else
In fact, this video has inspired me to try to write a villain song from the perspective of Ymur from _Myst: The Book of D'ni,_ leader of the Relyimah faction that wanted the Terahnee exterminated to the last child as vengeance for the Terahnee oppression of the Relyimah (literally, "Unseen") slaves for generations upon generations. I imagine Ymur making a variant of Hitler's "Nits make lice" argument (in the book he claimed that the Relyimah could never be free as long as there were any Terahnee living) and claiming that the Ronay--D'ni as well as Terahnee--are not so much people as physical manifestations of oppression.
No, it’s an April Fools joke. The joke is that it’s about fan made songs (Songs that aren’t considered official). Since it’s April Fools day Josh decides to talk about something he wouldn’t do or do again, because it’s not something he would normally talk about.
Joker's Song is one of my all-time favorite Miracle of Sound songs. I just about screamed and jumped for joy when I saw it on the list! 😊
Agreed that son is really good
This video is proof that when fans aren't fighting each other, they can make absolute ART. Every single entry, just very well executed.
Agreed.
Except maybe the last one.
Holy shit the Bill cipher and Discord one is actually fire
Someone else also pointed out in Smile Like You Mean It, the line "Grit your teeth and get right to it," now has an extra mean about Alastor himself now we know the Radio Demon is under contract too.
indeed, Husk really got Alistor where it affected him, it only remains to be seen who managed to outwit the Radio Demon and what his true motives are behind that twisted smile.
My theory is he's helping Charlie because Lilith asked him to. Bear in mind, he was gone for the EXACT SAME amount of time Lilith has been.
@@FillmGeekOfDoom That does appear to be the general fan consensus. And I do think Lilith and Alastor are connected because of the same seven year absence. I prefer Finn The Pony's video theory on the matter personally.
@@FillmGeekOfDoom that would be problematic for her, since it seems that she wormed her way to Heaven, as we seen in the season finale. so i dont believe that it is Lilith at this time.
I personally like "Number 9" by Aviators for a Death villain song, but totally understand why you chose the one you did. You're right in that it's different from all the others by presenting a victim's point of view too. In fact, I'm surprised more creators haven't taken advantage of that pov.
Enjoyed the video very much!!!
Hey, thanks so much for the feature! Glad you enjoyed Welcome Home and its remaster!
Just giving you what you're owed!
@@joshscorcher please react to skylander cypher
@@joshscorcher you forgot to mention JT music and their Doki Doki song the rest of the song is from the perspective of Monica who is the main villain the song really fits her crazy controlling personality with a pop like vibe to it with the song having a secret darkness that you noticed when listening to the song.
@@joshscorcherand the song also has subtle references to the events of the game which is in character for Monica because she's a sentient video game character and was the reason why the events of the game happened.
ua-cam.com/video/zjsXWkA2DT4/v-deo.htmlsi=kMnYpR-muHIOmo9V and you also forgot to mention this song it's about Azula from the Avatar series and it's her imagining if she won in the story with the song ending with her stuck in a mental Asylum. @@joshscorcher

Final note: This took me about an hour to procure. Seriously @joshscorcher, please put up a full list in your description, it isn't reasonable to expect people to spend this much time to look for all these songs, and if you are trying to promote these songs, you need to credit creators and provide links so people can easily find what you are referencing. Thanks for making this video, I have a couple new creators I am now following as a consequence, but make it easier for people, PLEASE.
Finally! Thank you! I just spent 20 minutes looking for a song list and it surprised me that nobody else made one
Actually a GOAT, thanks for this mate 👏👏👏
Thanks!
@@shadowstone13 my guy put in the work for all of us!
In his defense, he does say the name of the different songs on the list.
Discord is *literally* just the MLP incarnation of Q, of course he's a chaotic trickster god.
I can imagine there’s a crossover fanfic of that being the case and Q bridges Equestria with the Trek space
Star trek or street fighter?
@@patrickkirchner2254 Star Trek, Discord and Q are both played by John Delancie.
On a related note, Flumpty’s Jam should’ve been honorably mentioned.
And let’s be honest, he’s pretty much Bill Cipher, if Bill was reformed as a half decent anti-hero to Equestria (but that’s mainly if you/we were to compare MLP characters to Disney characters… despite Discord being made a year PRIOR to Bill)
I wasn't expecting Tip the Scale to show up here but I'm definietely not complaining.
Fun fact: Bendy and the Ink Machine is actually based off the Fleischers drama. Those two in the later years HATED each other, and Bendy embodies that to a TEE X3
That's interesting to know. BATIM is my top favorite game
@@LordTabby Always pays to know your sources X3
I've never played BatIM, but I wonder if the whole "cartoon characters put their creator in peril" aspect might have been inspired by the 1935 Looney Tunes short "A Cartoonist's Nightmare", wherein one of the cartoonists at a cartoon version of Termite Terrace falls asleep at the easel while working overtime and dreams that his villains have captured him (unhappy that he "always make[s them] the chumps").
@@KororaPenguin That honestly sounds more like the plot to "Toonstruck" more than the Fleischer dilemma, but that probably was more inspired by the Looney Toons short XP
Oh my god, I literally was thinking "Tip the Scales could prolly be on here, but there's no way he'd put it as #1."
And boom! I tip my hat to you sir. And you nail exactly why its so good.
Its VERY mid, like all the songs in this list are better
You're very mid, and no one will remember you in 2 weeks
@@mrnobody9611your very existence is mid
Discordant Decipher is one of my repeated songs currently. That backwards message before Brandon Yates’ chorus: “Why are listening to this part backwards? Don’t tell me you’re some kind of tinfoiler. You do know this song doesn’t decide who wins, right?” is just genius!
Yeah, that plus god's hand, and some non DB vs songs Brandon made are all instant beloved songs of mine.
Considering how it Did end though I kind of am both amused and annoyed. (Keeping the results to myself since don't wanna spoil anyone) RIP death battle.

It’s practically William Afton’s Disney Villain song, and why there’s only a handful of animatics for it is beyond me.

It is

This aged like wine
@@geekyforever3387 what do you mean?
Im so glad you included Tough Love!!
Its pretty underrated in my opinion
GUYS I SWEAR THIS ISN'T AN APRIL FOOL'S DAY PRANK.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Whew 😮💨
Sorry but until i see it with my eyes im not Believing you!
Even if it is, we will forgive you!
**Presses X to doubt**
I vividly remember watching this a little while after a big April Fools event and actively popped off when I saw Discordant Decipher and Death's Doorstep on the list, you have extremely good taste :)
"Smile Like You Mean It" ended up being pretty poignant. Alastor keeping a smile is something he not only talks about with Charlie in a moment he's less guarded, we the audience see how he's desperately relying on it. His powers and situation are infinitely less secure than he wants everyone to believe. Everyone is living it up in the finale song, he runs to the corner for a mental breakdown.
Me I like insane its a classic
@@Saintpentiousofficial That's the beauty of this. He chose it, not us. we can enjoy ties.
The real April Fools joke here was "I had to sift through some mid songs" while having Sacrifices Must Be Made in the background
we need a sequel to "It Just Works." Called "It Still Works" about how they did the same trick for Starfield, and still got people to fall for it.
don't forget the Fallout TV show!
@@christopherbravo1813 That'd be 'It Always Works' for a title. About how every media can do this, and they do.
@@Sorain1 True enough
10:25 As someone who had no idea Discord was an MLP song when I first heard it- I find this hilarious. I have no idea who Discord is, so not my place to entirely judge. Though I now know what type of person he is, and want to know more. He sounds like if Dr. Bright was given too much power and had a somehow worse upbringing. Aka I love chaotic characters because I can’t behave that way myself and love to see it when people/characters do. Also why I love why you chose the next song instead that I have yet to hear- BECAUSE BILL
Since you mentioned the song, wanna give a shout-out to the fact that insanity, despite it merely being a hazbin fan song, was not only considered to be canon allastor by vivziepop (the song was written and performed by allastor's pilot singing actor), but was added to fortnite in the form of an emote.
Wait, it's a Fortnite Emote?!
Show me...
@@JMObyxlook up 'reapers showtime'
You...called it Insanity.
I didn't even know it was called Nerdcore, I just listened to them because a lot of them are super great. I'm obsessed with a bunch of Portuguese Nerdcore songs. Funnily enough, I found them through one about William Afton/Springtrap.
The thing about "Sun of the Night" that Josh didn’t mention is that is only merely the beginning of an AU story by Jyc Row as told through music; a story that begins (I believe) with Celestia going mad with power and turning into Daybreaker, forcing Luna to amass an army, a Lunar Rebellion (the next song after Sun of the Night), to fight her sister. When that doesn't work, she has no choice but to embrace her own dark side to level the playing field, leading to the song "Night Queen"
I think you have the timeline right, following up with "Together, Against the Sisters", a short interlude song that I don't remember, and "Final Eclipse" ending the Sisters arc.
@@thecrimsoncommando3875 the interlude song was simply "Before the Infinite Eclipse" (which came in two versions, narrated and non-narrated.)
After Final Eclipse there's not really a timeline songwise, just a bunch of character themes/songs, the two goddesses, their high priestesses, UEP commanders and a bunch else
Indeed
Infinite Eclipse
Aqasha and Nerath
Goddess of Destruction and Nightmares respectfully
Excuse while i go find these songs now!
My favorite song from this au would be nerath
Hi, Josh! I am your biggest fan, and I just wanna say thank you for making so many fans happy and for all the work you have done... it means a lot.
Funnily enough, I discovered The Chalkeaters when you used "It just works" as the leitmotiv in one of your other Top X countdowns
I’m pretty sure a lot of people did. It’s their first stand out popular song that put them on the preverbal map on UA-cam.
Ah, the Bethesda Fails one.
I actually went to the video for “It Just Works” and asked how many people there found that song because of Josh’s vid on Bethesda.
Dear Gaia, the sheer number of upvotes and replies…
Same-
My introduction was Count to Three.
36:14 AAAAAA- YESYESYESYES!!! THIS IS WHY I KNEW YOU HAD GOOD TASTE!!!
I absolutely loved that King K. Rool song, if they ever do make a DK movie they better hire the people involved with it because it's just too perfect
Hopefully they will get credit for it
It's extremely Don Bluth in the vibes including that animation style
I’m so glad Jyc Row made the list. So many of their songs in their Infinite Eclipse line are great. Sun of the Night so happens to be one of them.
Tip the Scales genuinely sounds like a real Disney song. This is what happens when you let fans be fans, Nintendo.
Don’t forget Hasbro
The way you chose my personal favorite fnaf villain song for 10 just warms my heart. The song is underrated as heck, so hearing it finally get the praise it deserves is perfect!
I will defend "Discord" forever but I do see what you are saying. As someone who still listens to "Discordant Decipher" regularly, I am thrilled to see it here.
"It Just Works!" is a masterpiece.
(Awesome list Josh and Crew!)
Another one of Paranoid DJ's greats is In My Sights. Its a Striker song. And he actually got Ed Bosco (Striker's VA) to do it!
"Tip the scales" is epic in so many regards and I'm glad you love it as much as me and so many others, one thing to note, the lyric isn't "Take on asunder as we cry blood and thunder." It's actually, "Tear Kong asunder as we cry blood and thunder." I misheard it as such for a while too though, figured I'd just make that clear since it adds even more gravitas to the song.
it doesn't help that the video's subtitles also originally wrote it that way.
The song Is mid, should not even have made it in the list.
Being someone who actively enjoy such music, I can believe the first minute. All the popular villains tend to have three minimum, so that's at least thirty when looking at just the popular stuff.
Nice selection. Especially since you listed some songs I never heard. Which goes to show how incredibly vast this category is.
So, are fan made hero songs next or is this too much to expect. Heroes seem to be as vast as villains.
I won't say a thing of sidekick fan songs, since there's so much more I've come upon. Good luck if you make a top ten of that.
Alastor's covers are almost always a banger to listen to
Agreed ❤
Well that was a perfectly-timed ad.
"So who's laughing now?"
"Febreze"
Okay you have no idea how much i SQUEALED when I saw ParanoidDJ on the list! I'm just so proud that he's getting the recognition he deserves and the fact you mentioned that Vivize made his fan song for Stolas canon was the happiest day of my life!!
So, I got a few to mention here.
One, there’s a TON of FNAF songs you could’ve chosen, and I think you picked one of the best possible. Unbroken was MOTI’s first fully original song, and it fit wonderfully.
I didn’t think Death Battle was gonna count, and I’ll always be up for more Bill.
Even if Alastor wasn’t in the thumbnail, I probably would’ve expected him to show up. Not complaining one bit! Smile Like You Mean It is phenomenal. Personally, the song by McGwire, “Better Than U” (about Adam), I think is even better but this is a great alternative.
I FORGOT ABOUT WELCOME HOME. SquigglyDigg knocked it outta the park.
Thank you for introducing me to a new favorite with Joker's Song.
And OH, Tip the Scales! Man, I was so happy to see this the first time. What a magnificent love letter to all things Donkey Kong. It definitely deserves first place.
What I would love to see is a final countdown, ranking ALL the villain songs from these countdown videos.
When I saw number 1 I was literally like “YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!”
I’ll say it here Man on the internet gets the character personalities so well (Juno songs does as well but non of Juno’s stuff qualifies for a list except maybe I guess Yape…but uh Yape was literally just made by Nuno for a joke song)
@@SylviaGrome there's also host hoedown! Since he's the official VA, the "with lyrics" can be also official
@@littlevirus3562 yeah but it is still a cover of a song which wasn’t allowed for the list
I actually think that he should’ve talked a little bit more about.
“ keep getting stronger”
Because the funny thing is with just a little bit of tweaking, it practically predicted the threat of the final season of MLP.
I love how he uses the stupendium cult of the lamb song the entire time but it only gets a honorable mention
since their are so many Fan-Made Villain Songs. I feel like a part 2 needs to happen.
Agreed
Considering there was no Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom (Stringstorm), Vs. Ridley (Man on the Internet), Brinstar Depths (same artist, any of these could be interchanged tbh), Bear With Me (Juno Songs), Primal Dialga (same artist 2) and Angel (Big Bad Bosses and yes I know it's owned by The Completionist but I gotta give credit where credit is due) there sure is potential for a sequel.
(Was briefly considering any of the Nefarious songs before realizing since Nefarious is an official IP I'm not sure it'd fit the criteria)
@@ericwijaya2119 I think the reason he left those off Juno's songs and the other MOTI songs (other than only including one artist per entry) is that they're not fully original. When he was asking for entries on Twitter a couple months back he specifically said he wasn't looking for any songs that were just lyric covers.
@@UnderTheUmbrella_ He Should make a list of Lyric Covers
@@UnderTheUmbrella_shoot that only means out of everyone I just mentioned, Angel is the only one who has a shot
With what little shot it has left since... y'know, Charity Fraud
Wait this does mean Roar of the Jungle Dragon has potential to reappear so I'm cool
I love how it says that no one saw Croods a new age but no one saw it since that was literally the first croods movie and it took a whole year for me even get an opportunity to watch the 1st one.
Thank you so much for including a song from Man on the Internet! Despite all they've done, they still feel relatively unknown in the fandomsphere, so it's always nice to see their hard work getting noticed and appreciated! On top of that, Unbroken is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and was also one of their first completely original songs. It really nails what Afton's character should be, and I love how it's being recognized here.
Great list, Josh! I now have a lot more songs to add to my growing playlist : D
Took the words out of my mouth
So many thoughts crossed my mind as I was watching this.
- Yay, some appreciation for Man on the Internet! I've been following him and his team since Undertale the Musical was in production; if you haven't seen that (or Chrono Trigger the Musical), take a day and watch them.
- Aw yeah, a straight shot at the greatest villain in all of gaming: the corporate money machine!
- I could not agree more with everything you say about Disney and Dreamworks movies.
- I really need to go back and finish Friendship is Magic. I stopped watching halfway through Season 6, but I heard that it still held up and I want to see how it all plays out.
- The Bendy games have soured on me for reasons I've mentioned before, but the fan songs around them really are some of the best. Besides the one you picked, I like Alice's Tango, All Eyes On Me, Build Our Machine, Can't Be Erased, Gospel of Dismay, and Instruments of Cyanide.
- Ooh, Miracle of Sound! I discovered them from their Baldur's Gate 3 songs; they've made some pretty impressive stuff.
- This is personal bias talking, but you know the competition in this field is tough when a Nate Wants to Battle song only makes it into the Honorable Mentions.
April first being an experiment in exploring ideas of content sounds like a great new tradition.
Especially with a collection of songs like these.
Bro, when you were talking about fnaf choices and then picked unbroken, I thought I was psychic. Those delusions were then shattered by discordant decipher. So many great songs made by fans, I should listen to more.
Ones I’d put on here:
Reflection, JT Music (Afton)
Perfection, Divide music (Perfect Cell)
Ready or Not, JT Music (Mr X)
Dread, LongestSoloEver (EMMI)
Instruments of Cyanide, DAGames (Alice Angel)
(Fan Song Month when?)
Of the ones I know here, FULLY AGREED.
I have 4 hours of fnaf songs one I want I wanted was Drawn to the bitter
I really hoped to see a LongestSoloEver song on here, and the fact that there wasn't any makes me sad.
Insane was a honorable mention, that good?
@@macaylacayton2915 yeah fair, I guess
great list! any one of those honorable mentions could've made the top ten [as a Villain's Lair fan I screamed to see it on the list]
would like to see a top 10 fan project countdown or 10 good things about Modern Disney cause I feel like people overlook endeavours such as Short Circuit, Launchpad, Pixar's Sparkshorts, Visions, Dreamlight Valley etc.
Discordant Decipher is a great edition. Brandon Yates knows how to make good fight music. If I were to think of an honorable mention, it would have to be Juno Songs' Battle! Lab Zero. Both versions.
God I can't bring myself to watch those yet because that scene got to me emotionally so hard
I would have thought of final formers.
Excellent songs we've got here! Everyone has done such a great job on these songs!
A recommendation for a fan that makes amazing songs based on anime characters (including villains) Divide Music, makes amazing work
It's funny that you're going for that topic when Alastor's songs are some of my favorites in the Amazon show. Stayed Gone and his part of the final song of Season 1 in particular.
Dang, was not expecting Discordant Decipher to be on the list. Especially the backwards message part to be mentioned, lol. Awesome ^^
I COMPLETELY forgot about Krools song, but the second I heard those first few lyrics I fucking screamed
I immediately noticed with the Kremlings and the black bars.
THANK-YOU for picking "Smile Like You Mean It" for Alastor. I listen to it all the time and it is so underrated.
Checked out number one. One thing about that post credit scene that you didn't mention.
You didn't mention the *GREATEST F**KING INSULT FROM A VILLAIN TO THEIR MINION EVER!*
Go watch it, It's poetry, It's classic "Villain insulting their idiotic minion" banter that we don't really get anymore.
What’s the name of that video?
@@siutszching DKC: Return to Krocodile Isle - Animated Short
For everyone’s viewing pleasure, I shall quote it.
KING K. ROOL: Klump, my dearly, dauntless Klump, remind me, if I ever were to kill myself, I could scale to the heights of your blind devotion, AND LEAP DOWN TOWARDS YOUR IQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Crazy idea for the choir portion of “ it just works” that I’m suprised no one thought up BONGOS
Tip The Scales is at Number 1 and I'm Ooooookay with it!!
I know parodies aren't allowed but man if they were I would totally recommend "Curse of Darkness" by Dragonforce, a power metal remix of Bloody Tears complete with lyrics detailing Dracula's war against humanity and his sorrow over the loss of his wife
ironically Dragonforce shows that they respect Castlevania far more then Konami nowadays (I don't know if that's admirable or just plain sad)
I was so excited to see the Number 1. I love “Return to Krocodile Isle” when it came out.
As for Number 2, I wonder if there is a lament version where BTAS Joker is singing about the grief of losing his self proclaimed other half (RIP Kevin Conroy)
I was *not* expecting Death Battle here but it’s my favorite show on the internet so I’m happy about it
I appreciate you doing a normal video in April fools.
Also given how hit and miss(with the misses being cursed) fan songs can be, I guess this list is fitting.
I wish the songs were either linked or left in the description for us to go listen to them fully
I'd recommend listening the "BIG SHOT with lyrics" from Juno Songs here on UA-cam. It really captures how insane Spamton is as a character on top of just being a well-made project that must have taken a long time to record and edit.
Maybe he'll do a "Top 10 Villain Themes Given Lyrics by Fans" (I am PRAYING that Juno's version of "The Raging Lion Roars" and RecD's version of "Baking the Wondertart" make it on such a list)
Weirdly I didn't know that discord was a fansong as I didnt get into Mylittlepony. I actually thought it was some officially released song as I saw it first with a fan made music video of a guy causing chaos in a city.
Let’s rock and roll! I loved the last times you did Top 10’s on Villain Songs so I’m super excited for this!
When I heard him talking about William Afton, all I could think about was, "You fool! You've invoked the wrath of an army of passionate theorists"
A very fascinating list that shows not only how creative the fans are, but also reveals just how deep villain songs are and analyzes the trends in how they go across the years. I know fandoms at their worst are horrific, but when you find those that truly care for what they love, the art they make conveys what spoke to them to begin with and offers some new insight.
Honestly this list is something else, heck I found some favorites because of this list, Insane especially. Always a pleasant surprise.
While I do prefer Build Our Machine, I still love Welcome Home and I'm really glad it's on the list.
Also Tip the Scales absolutely DESERVED to be Number One. Not only was it beautifully animated, but Benedict's still got it as the Kremling Kommander and nailed the song!
Instrument of cyanide is also good
No! Tip the scales does NOT deserve first place when songs like "The fine print" exist, It should not have even made It on the list.
Actually Josh you might not have known this but there are Two EPIC Fan made MLP songs based on princess Luna And Princess Celestia that are Corrupted alternate versions of them, The songs are Nareth Goddess of Nightmares who is the Corrupt version of nightmare moon and Aqasha the Goddess of destruction who is the corrupt version of Daybreaker and each Song of the videos are made by Jyc Row, There are even Metal Cover versions of the two with both Jyc Row and Gabriel Borza. So i suggest you check both the original song versions and the Metal cover versions of those songs. X)
I loved Villain Songs month. Some of the videos that I keep coming back to most, along with the annual fails list (Parody of 1985 for next year's fails list?), and you introduced me to a lot of gems I'd never heard before, like "No Bad News," "Biggering," "Room of the Angels," "Look Pimpin'," "Black Sheep," and "Under Our Spell," to name a few. And you already introduced me to "It Just Works" before this video, but I'm delighted to see more.
Geez, these are good...I like the Cult of the Lamb one used as transition, and Number 1 is absolute GOLD. 6 and 3 would be my other favorites out of these, I think. Thank you immensely for all of the tedium you and yours surely went through for this video, Josh. And know that your outro this time was my absolute favorite part of the video: incredibly wholesome and encouraging.
"I let you live here for free, and I don't even charge you rent"
It's enough to make a grown man cry
Here before Josh pranks us, Happy April 1st!
Post-premier edit: Satisfyingly not a prank, what a great No. 1!!!
When I saw Tip the Scales made number one, I actually cheered and pumped my fists.
The moment you said Bethesda. I knew the song that was up next
this video reminds me that of the hundreds of fan made (mainly indie horror) songs i would excitedly listen to as a kid. With Stupendium, being one of my favorite artists, the guy knows how to make a good beat and lyrics. Also, if anybody remembers the We Happy Few song "Anytime you smile" its underrated.
So happy to see Unbroken get a mention here, especially since it was one of Man On The Internet's first original songs! Thank you for showing it some love ^^
Not just one of, it was his very first original
The fact that I have have “Smile Like You Mean It” memorized, is good, a great way to show how obsessed I am and a great way to show how much of a music freak I am
I hope this hints at the possibility of a top 10 Death Battle tracks some day, that's got enough bops to make multiple lists. ESPECIALLY if you open it up to the fan commissioned tracks.
Reverse Rosé, Fallen Gods, All-Consuming, Final Formers, Hollow Dreams, Diabolical Invincible Me, Infection Perfection, etc. And that’s just the lyrical stuff.
For choice number 4 as a Neo Brony myself, I can relate since I too am a fan of Daybreak; Despite me choosing King Sombra first as one of the True MLP Villains.
So that song in particular that I've heard of as well is a good choice, As well as the honorable mentions and the Death Battle song 🎵
[ Thanks for playing that one part backwards!]
I got so worried that Tip the Scale got either snubbed into the Honorable Mentions or not mentioned at all, but hell yeah it got #1
*just sitting around jamming to smile like you mean it as I never was in the k rool fandom*
It doesnt deserve to be in first place, it does not even deserve a spot on the list!
I've been hoping you would do this SINCE VILLAINS SONG MONTH! This was awesome!
The countdown with the number 1 spot that made me say "YES!"
Unlucky that the first place was Stolen by a mid song.
This has got to be your best list yet! So many amazing choices!
I was going to be livid if you didn't feature Tip the Scales in some form during this list.
Super glad that this was #1!
All hail the King of the Kremlings!
Thats song sucks! Does not deserve top place at all! Unless its a list about the worst songs ever.
@@mrnobody9611 Okay.
@@mrnobody9611 you are very cringe for commenting the same thing 20 times
@@michaelplays3532 "You are very cringe for presenting your opinion under comments you did not agree with"
I'm both surprised and also a tad unsurprised that I was actually familiar with most of the songs here, but boy, I am I happy to see them here, particularly Discordant Decipher, It Just Works, and especially Tip the Scales.
Great choices, man, great choices.
....and now I'm seriously considering finally checking out cult of the lamb, so thanks for that.
