Games featuring Villain Songs
The song must have lyrics; if it's instrumental only, it does not count. Must be within the game itself, not a separate album.
Language doesn't matter as long as there are vocals.
Bonus points if the song is played during gameplay.

"One-Winged Angel." This also includes all subsequent games in which the track is reused or remixed.
"Evil Queen"
The glorious E.G.G.M.A.N. plays over a cutscene, so it counts. Supporting Me is also partially a vocal track and a boss theme.
Sloprano is probably the most famous moment in the game; being sung opera by a giant poo is certainly a way to leave an impression. This spot also applies to the remake. How this continues as the fight goes on is actually pretty cool and dynamic, the background melody intensifying as the fight does.
"What I'm Made Of", elaborating on Metal's motives and punctuating the game in typical over the top butt rock fashion.
"Go, Mao!"
The satire aspect may never top Courtney Gears's "Death to Squishies"
Every boss fight gets their own song
Freaking Atlantica sequence man...
"Still Alive." Debatable since it's a credits song and never plays during gameplay, but it is still a notable asset to the game.
"The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything"
"With Me" being a glorious cap off to the game that's primarily from the perspective of the villain, but also has parts reflecting Sonic.
The final boss has two: "Look Pimpin" and "So Cold." A few others exist in the game.
Philistine, in both English and Japanese, basically Margaret Moonlight taking the piss out of you
"Find You" as the final boss theme, among others.
Drill X's Big Rig
LITERALLY EVERY BOSS FIGHT HAS A VILLAIN SONG
Apparently there's a TON of villain songs in the game, which is pretty cool for an MMO. One of them is even very directly mimmicking This is Halloween
Mesmeralda. Seriously how did two of these games have one?
Joker’s villain song happens during gameplay here
Noize's boss theme, on a fittingly musical battlefield.
Really surprised Nintendo was so game for Ubisoft mocking their mascot so blatently. But it's fun!
"The Edge of Dawn"
Throw Away Your Mask stands out in a game which is mostly based around motivating the player with its music. Like With Me in theme, but less intensive.
"Bury the Light" for Vergil. It does play while playing as Vergil, but since it's a lot about his presence as the antagonist of the game, it still counts.
The main villain of this game sings House of Fun by Madness at the end
“Shadows Rising” for Jack Garland. I said “villain” songs, not necessarily antagonist songs, and this fits the tone of the game incredibly well.
