“Seid Bereit” from Disney’s DER KOENIG DER LOWEN
And now, for your listening pleasure, and to creep the bejesus out of any of you who still have nightmares about World War Two, Walt Disney would like to present a musical number:
The Big Villain Number from LION KING in German. Every villain should get a big musical number.
Think of how much more impressive Darth Vader would have been had only he sung an aria in a minor key, backed by trumpets and drums, or if Sauron the Great had sung the inscription on the One Ring in the Black Speech of Mordor, perhaps with a techno beat and screaming guitars.
Absurd, you say? Impossible? But Don Juan has a big end number, literally the end, as he defies heaven to the very last.
Oh my goodness. I was just kidding. There actually IS a song of Sauron the Great singing the inscription on the One Ring. You can find anything on the Internet. Thank you, Al Gore!
(The song is “A New Power is Rising” by the group Summoning)
