10. ‘Be Prepared’ from The Lion King

A second entry for The Lion King (spoiler: it’s not the last!), Be Prepared is a chilling yet iconic song performed by Scar. Immediately recognizable as one of Disney’s best villains, Scar evokes some surprising dark subtext by promising to take the throne from his brother, Mufasa.

While it’s loosely based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, it also evokes some striking imagery that is reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Today, Be Prepared is one of the best songs out there.
