Best musical theme for a kid movie villain?

This one is up there. Christopher Lloyd's character's appearance was followed by those big, and im guessing here, trombone blasts? Whatever the instrument I always loved it, and it was followed by those two little light recharges and he would spin or make a facial expression to the tune of it. I loved it. It is very comparable to Captain Hook's in Hook, but maybe not as good. Any other villain musical themes from live action kid movies? I know Darth Vader might be mentioned, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "live action kid movie"...just curious if anyone else felt the same or could name a few others.

Not a kid's movie, but Deebo from the first Friday movie had a cool theme that played every time he showed up. The Music kinda resembled the Jaws theme music a little. In the second "Friday movie titled "Next Friday" they just dropped the theme which was lame.

Harry and Marv's theme in Home Alone http://youtu.be/QiWq7TMlSfQ
The Joker in Batman (1989) http://youtu.be/kUZLVrBmuE4

This theme got stuck in my head today. Trying to find it online, but having no luck.

This came out when I was a teenager so it was a little bit of a kiddie movie, but I remember a lot of people liking it and mentioning Switchblade Sam's music.
