Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565: I. Toccata	Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Richter	SamRobertsND	8 Joseph Harvey +2 — Brilliant, perfect submission. Bach definitely didn’t intend the spooky, villainous vibes this piece has come to be associated with. No notes ared56 +2 Claire +1 — This is a perfect submission for this round Brad Stalcup +1 — Definitely wasn't intended to sound evil. Clever. shea nowicki +1 judd.baker +1 — As Joseph once said, instrumental tracks have to work harder to get a vote and this one does. Very clever fionmul 0 — Bach knew what he was doin lbr
Every Breath You Take	The Police	shea nowicki	6 fionmul +1 — nice SamRobertsND +1 ared56 +1 — Almost submitted this myself Peter Seeley +1 — Yeah this fits the category Sam Ary +1 Brad Stalcup +1 — Accidentally? maybe he was clueless enough not to know that this song was just super weird and therefore i give it an upvote. Regina Scime +1 Joseph Harvey 0 — This is not accidental, much as it pains me not to upvote. Sting has commented on how he’s surprised people use this as a first dance song Claire 0 — Too obvious judd.baker -1 — This one is in a sense the opposite of accidentally evil; it’s intentionally evil but accidentally sounded otherwise
Mambo No. 5 (a Little Bit of...)	Lou Bega	Peter Seeley	6 SamRobertsND +1 ared56 +1 Claire +1 — I guess this sounds kinda fun but really the guy is a a good for nothing player and that’s evil? Not sure I fully see it but tbh I wasn’t impressed by many songs this round so you get a vote Sam Ary +1 Regina Scime +1 judd.baker +1 fionmul 0 — But Judd says it's ok to go on lots of dates Joseph Harvey 0 — This is intentionally evil Brad Stalcup 0 — Ok to be clear, fornication is evil. But i feel like there are so many songs about it that we're looking for a different kind of evil here.
Imagine - Remastered 2010	John Lennon	Brad Stalcup	5 Joseph Harvey +2 — The definitive answer. Absolutely diabolical and totally unironic Peter Seeley +2 — Perfect example of accidently evil Regina Scime +1 shea nowicki +1 fionmul 0 — fs a classic for this category alongside My Way but I am going to reward the creativity of others' submissions Claire 0 — I feel like this is a classic one like My Way where yes, there’s a weird less than good read of it, but that’s kind of a tired and overdone take Brad Stalcup 0 — Conservative Boomer Christian Ragebait right here. ared56 -1 — Thought about submitting this as well but no rewards for repeats
Defying Gravity - Edit	Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande	fionmul	3 Brad Stalcup +2 — Our culture is in a crisis of limits and a failure to adhere to them, and this song insists on abolishing those limits. Therefore I upvote SamRobertsND +1 Claire +1 Joseph Harvey 0 — Huh? shea nowicki -1
Love Is an Open Door - From "Frozen"/Soundtrack Version	Kristen Bell, Santino Fontana	Regina Scime	3 fionmul +2 — actually dangerously evil in a way; Elsa's crashout was valid Peter Seeley +1 — The vapidity of this song is truly evil. shea nowicki +1 Joseph Harvey 0 — Not sure on the read here Claire 0 — Secretly evil =/= accidentally evil Brad Stalcup 0 — I actually think "Let it go" is the more of the "accidentally evil" song from Frozen Sam Ary -1
Good as Hell	Lizzo	Edward James	2 shea nowicki +1 judd.baker +1 fionmul 0 — loved this shout but not insidious enough for me Joseph Harvey 0 — Let the girls have a little fun Claire 0 — Maybe I need to look at the lyrics more closely but I don’t quite see the evil read of this
Any Man Of Mine	Shania Twain	Joseph Harvey	1 Regina Scime +1 fionmul 0 — Yeah this is sus Claire 0 — This is not only a repeat, it’s a repeat that’s giving essentially the same read of the song. Would’ve downvoted but I’d feel bad if this person wasn’t here for the previous league (Peter or Richard?) Brad Stalcup 0 — Toxic femininity in a song.
Camptown Races	2nd South Carolina String Band	judd.baker	1 SamRobertsND +1 Sam Ary +1 fionmul 0 — I read the lyrics and still not understanding this as evil Claire 0 — I’m not sure I’m getting the evil vibes Brad Stalcup 0 — This song is great, but I really don't see how it's acciedentally evil. Just another delusional gambler. Regina Scime -1 — There were many others I wanted to downvote but this one was just so far out from right field
Southern Man	Neil Young	ared56	1 fionmul +1 — Ahhh... sounds like they aren't condoning the evil tho? Either that or the evil is purposeful? This one made me think Claire +1 Sam Ary +1 Joseph Harvey 0 — Pretty sure Neil Young doesn’t agree with the perspective of the protagonist of the song, so not accidental SamRobertsND -1 Peter Seeley -1 — I don't get what's accidentally evil about this song, unless you are rabidly pro-Southern. Even the unreconstructed Dr. "Stonewall"* Roberts wouldn't go that far. *This nickname was given for his shockingly stalwart doctoral defense.
Feeling Good	Michael Bublé	Claire	-1 judd.baker +1 fionmul 0 — why cant a white canadian boy feel a little good sometimes? Peter Seeley 0 — For the last 5 years , I have voted Michael Buble on the Guardian.co.uk poll "Evilest Man Alive". Nobody listens. Thank you for submitting this. I feel affirmed. Regina Scime 0 — Why Joseph Harvey -1 — This one has me very confused Brad Stalcup -1 — Don't see how this is evil at all.
Poor Unfortunate Souls	Howard Ashman, Alan Menken, Pat Carroll, Disney, J.A.C. Redford	Sam Ary	-2 Joseph Harvey 0 — Not accidental, this is literally the villain Peter Seeley 0 — I too sympathize with the octopus lady, but the evilness is much intended. Brad Stalcup 0 — Not really accidentally evil. Just actually evil. Does she believe she's doing good? It doesn't seem so. Regina Scime 0 — Literally purposefully evil fionmul -1 — bro... Claire -1 — Here too, secretly evil =/= accidentally evil. And in this case while a character in the story isn’t aware of the evil, it’s extremely clear to the audience
