I’m opening this thread a bit early today because holy crap is there a lot to talk about.
In the meantime, I’m going to prepare for the debate by taking a nap.

Final Debate! Open Thread!
We Hunted The MammothBucking the Backlash
imo Be Prepared is the best Disney villain song, but best in a kids movie is Toxic Love, using Tim Curry is cheating.
LOL, the diehard Trumpies are using a picture that’s obviously just light reflecting of Clinton’s podium to claim she was being fed answers.

And now Trump is claiming that the debate was rigged, that Hillary had the questions in advance.
Dude.
and speaking of… Laverne Cox reprises Frank-n-Furter tonite in Faux Network’s Rocky Horror reboot.
Epic Trump logic:
– Obama has deported too many people.
– Hillary is 4 more years of Obama.
– Hillary will grant amnesty to everyone.
Crystal clear, you fucking moron.
Let’s add “specular versus diffuse reflection” to the unending list of incredibly basic concepts Trump supporters don’t understand.
Be Prepared. He wants a kingdom, they wanna eat. Perfect!
Be Prepared is good, but I’m lukewarm on The Lion King which might color my impression of it, but it definitely isn’t a bad song. Actually, Disney Villains tend to have the best songs in general. Which is funny because Villain songs tend to be cut first when they need to cut for time. Look up “Why Me?” from Aladdin for a good example of one that was cut. I think the biggest problem with it as a song is that it makes Jafar a little too sympathetic, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. To toss it out again, Hellfire works because it doesn’t make Frollo sympathetic, it makes him pitiable.
As far as Toxic Love…well, I won’t lie, I loved the song too. But the movie it was attached to is…not good. I’m perfectly fine watching (or listening to) Tim Curry being Tim Curry, but he’s clearly the best part of that movie by far.
@PI
I never thought of Hunchback through that point of view…I really liked the movie, but that just makes it even better for me.

Exactly. Airport security and no fly lists and whatever have done a good job at preventing another 9/11. I live in Detroit right now, and it’s very open to refugees. I’ve probably met a few, I have absolutely no reason to fear them.
Also, foreign terror attacks are more common Europe not because of refugees, but because of geography and other factors. When has a terror suspect ever been a refugee?
I now have Poor Unfortunate Souls stuck in my head. Thanks, Obama.
(And Paradoxy.)
@Occasional Reader
Yes. There’s a place just across the river from me that sells them.
@Best Disney villain song
Friends On The Other Side. *mic drop* =P
… I have a weakness for jazz despite my usual musical tastes, heh.
@SFHC
I really like Friends On The Other Side. I’d probably put it a #3 in my list. It definitely has the best line of any of the songs
“Won’t you shake a poor sinner’s hand?”

(Sorry)
There’s never any need to apologize for Justin Trudeau pictures.
Hello, Justin. ?
Justin!
*sigh*
Scildfreja: “sorry”? Seriously? What are you, Canadian?
Pretty pissed at Trudeau atm but that picture is still delightful.
Read the annotated transcript of the debate, read this thread, and can now conclusively state that I want some goddamn tacos.
@ Viscaria,
I would love to see a transcript that was annotated with Chuck Tingle’s live tweet coverage as it happened…

I usually don’t post Schmoyoho’s debate remixes, but HOLY SHIT THIS ONE HAS WEIRD AL IN IT. *flails*
@Croquembouche, that Tingle storify was amazing as always.
My favorite Disney Villain songs (in no particular order:
-In The Dark Of The Night
-Friends On The Other Side
-Hellfire
-Poor Unfortunate Souls
Another classic, Disney villain song: Professional Pirate. But, as mentioned above, Tim Curry is cheating 🙂
I’m going to disagree with you there. I think it more cements why he’s such a terrible human being, which also turns him away from being sympathetic, but it’s definitely not making me feel any pity for the douche.
While the end of the song is “Love Me or Else”, like so:
The rest of the song is him going “I’m so much better than everyone else, and I’m so much more virtuous, and I’m a holy person, and I’m so awesome”, and then: “It’s not my fault!” (and he literally says that in the song), and blaming Esmeralda because she’s giving him boner feelings, and asking for forgiveness for his “sin”, because it’s totes her fault, I swearzies, so God strike her down for being a slutty, slutty temptress (or make her have sex with me, pls).
And that pretty much sums up a majority of victim-blamey, rapey, entitled behavior David normally covers here, so forgive me if I don’t exactly find that kind of behavior “pitiable”.
(Not trying to be mean, I’m just very persistent on this point. :P)
Hold up.
This wouldn’t happen to be that song, would it? Because that’s not Disney, that’s Fox Studios. It’s a common misconception that Anastasia is a Disney movie, but it’s not.
[/nitpick]
EDIT: Almost forgot to add the best genderswap song ever.
