Would this song fit Eugene and the Captain?
I remember listening to this old deleted villain song called The Mighty Hunters, which was originally supposed to be a duet between Shere Khan the tiger and a hunter named Buldeo. As you listen to it, the song features them singing about how much they hate one another.

A friend of mine who loves the movie listened to this song recently and asked me if this song would fit Flynn Rider and the Captain.
Flynn Rider: Shere Khan
The Captain: Buldeo
It might sound strange at first, but hear me out. Imagine Eugene on the run, singing about how he's the king of thieves, and it's unfair to hate him without knowing him, all the while, he's being hunted by the Captain, who's singing about how he'll catch Rider.
Could you imagine these two singing The Mighty Hunters about each other?
What do you think?
I guess I can see where you and your friend is coming from, but, like...
Sher Khan and Flynn don't have the same personalities at all. Flynn delights in annoying the hell out of people (Eugene too, to some degree). He wouldn't be singing about everyone hating him when they don't know him well, because he doesn't want people to know him. He keeps his true self as hidden as possible.
Also, the tone of the song doesn't suit either of them. Any song with this sentiment would be more upbeat, more adventurous, not a dirge. "Wanted Man" from the cruise musical is more appropriate in tone.
