Are you evil? No? …Have you considered it?
If the only thing holding you back from taking over the free world is the proper playlist, look no further. These songs will have you on a wanted poster in no time.
- “Do it All the Time” by I Don’t Know How But They Found Me.
-
This song helps you justify your evil deeds to the people around you. Crush your conscience into a fine paste until you don’t feel guilt anymore, all while grooving to this fun song. It even mentions mind control (we love it!).
- “Evil Woman” by ELO.
-
This one should be self explanatory. Any gender can be as evil as they want. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll set up a finely-tuned laser among the stars.
- “Obsession” by OK Go.
-
Obsessiveness is a key evil quality, whether you’re obsessed with blowing up the sun or with inventing evil rice pudding. Truly evil people can recreate the music video (which uses many printers to create a green screen effect) without recycling the paper. Environmental crimes are not for the faint of heart.
- “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” by Nancy Sinatra.
-
The perfect song for crushing your enemies. “Are you ready, boots? start walking,” she says. They will. They certainly will.
- “Evil Eye” by Franz Ferdinand.
-
I found this song on a Kylo Ren themed Spotify playlist when I was thirteen (don’t ask) and it’s sounded villainous to me ever since. The witchy, magic vibe is perfect for the evil sorcerers and witches out there.
- “Fist Fight!” by Crisis of Conformity.
-
Many supervillains start from humble beginnings like the song describes: a fist fight in the parking lot. Ah, memories. It brings a tear to my eye.
- “Bells On” by Sloan.
-
Somehow, every character in this song demonstrates supervillain characteristics. There’s the ex-girlfriend who cheated while the singer was at a funeral, her affair partner who believes the singer owes him money, and the singer himself, who wants to go to his ex-girlfriend’s funeral ready to celebrate. There’s many attitudes to aspire to.
- “Every Breath You Take” by the Police.
-
Not every villain is a bold, taking over the world type, and that’s perfectly fine. Diversity makes us stronger. So here’s a catchy little number for those slinking around, stalkerish villains. We see you (but only if you want us to).
