It's this song that makes me realise that Zira is far more evil than Scar ever was.
Scar killed his brother, yes, and took over the Pride Lands, but the drought and starvation that followed was just due to him being a poor leader, and since he wasn't fit to lead, he screwed up. His fault was his ambition, and the lengths he would go to succeed.
Zira, on the other hand, wants revenge. She's so consumed by it that thinking about is her goddamn lullaby! She want's to kill Simba, but she also wants to kill his child, and tear down his entire kingdom in the name of vengeance.
Now, Scar was no good guy, but ambition is a much nobler trait than bloodlust.
