Good music For A Villanous Jester?

[Leliel]

Well, the PCs have cornered one of my BBEGs, an evil master of a dark circus.

Of course, since I'm a music fiend, I go to YouTube, and pull out what I think is a fitting theme for him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIRhe0cxIJM).

Nah, the middle-end section isn't feeling clownish at all.
Or even jesterish.
Gimme soem time, I'll find ya something.

Thunder and Blazes.

It is your only option.

Do I even need to say it? (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/55839)

If it's a battle, try (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/137065) these (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/137067).

Dangit, I wanted to say it. There's also the end battle/Ultimate Kefka theme, Dancing Mad. The full track is like 30 minutes long, so you'd probably just want to use part of it.. on the plus side, it's 30 minutes long, so it's less likely that your group will instantly recognize it and be drawn out of the game to talk about videogames.

Damn, I was too slow. So slow, in fact, that I got ninjaed by a cactuar!

Wow, I just put that in.

I thought it was shorter. The original soundtrack version I heard was about 15 min. long. But still, that is pretty long.

Actually 'just' 17:49 on the version I have. 30 minutes was about how long it felt like when I was running it as background music and stopped to go "Wait, huh? This thing is still playing?"

[Leliel]

Wait, I thought up an example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU) for myself.











Sorry, I couldn't resist! Here's the actual link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SpeH_heG_Y&feature=related).

That is the greatest song that has ever existed ever in this or any possible universe, even the ones where it doesn't exist yet.

[Ralfarius]

More appropriate than in the previous thread in which I posted it. (http://www.midimusic.us/carnival.mid)

[tsuuga]

Disgaea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuzZg4e7SNw) music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTpreYhEEw)would be appropriate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6CuN9ZnVfs).

Edit: Oh, and this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-PkGh3Dt8&feature=related)

[Treguard]

For a sinister circus you just can't beat some creepy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtM41M5uNs) calliope (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Z6P9iZbmA) music.

A cliche, perhaps, but some people are comforted by such staples.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmZyTwVVqY) is another Kefka theme, specifically from the multiple times you end up facing him, which would include the infamous Doma scene "Wait? Do I look like a Waiter?"

[Deth Muncher]

I see what you did there.

[Mewtarthio]

The Meat Circus theme from Psychonauts would work well for a fight against his minions, but it's not epic enough for the BBEG fight itself (the Meat Circus boss theme, on the other hand, isn't very circus-y).

[Jastermereel]

I can't track the darn thing down, but what of the Joker's theme from the Animated Series? It isn't particularly menacing, but it could do the trick.

This is the first time I've ever had anything to contribute to one of these threads. ^_^ "Amusementive Crime," From Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha. It's literally the music for a carnival-type place in-game.
