Villanous music

Jafar, the evil vizier, only has a short song in the first Aladin movie, a reprise of “Prince Ali”. He was supposed to have a different one that was cut in production. What song was that?

• “Why me?” A song about his woes, and eventual rise to power.

• “Hellfire”, extolling his new found magical gifts.

• "Be prepared”, about his ascension to the throne.

• Poor unfortunate souls”, a song about the common man.

Answer explanation

This song was later released on the Aladin DVD, it would've occupied the same point in the movie as the prince Aladin reprise that Jafar sings in the release version.
