Yet another song ID (most likely from musical)

Tonight I watched the movie All For Nikki. In the very beginning, the song Delilah by Tom Jones was playing. There is something about the tune/rhythm of the first few verses of that song that made me think of another song similar in those aspects, and I spent the whole movie and beyond trying to pull it off the tip of my mind. At first I was thinking it was a villan song from a (most likely non-Disney) animated movie, breifly thought it was an introductory song for one of The Letter People (but Youtube didn’t deliver anything) and now I’m thinking it is more of a lament, some character singing about failure at something. I can almost, but not quite, hear some of the words.
Help?

Minor key with brisk triplets.

Something Chim-Chim-Cher-ee?

3

Several of the songs in Little Shop of Horrors have similar riffs in the background. Most closely is Now (It’s Just the Gas).

4

It is something like the “DAH dah dah dah, dah dah DAH dah dah dah” pattern. Still almost seeing the scene–maybe somebody challenging a bad guy more powerful than them and being slapped down, sung by the bad guy? Again, pretty sure animated, but not Disney.

In the glass I saw a strange reflection; was that lonely woman really me? Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end; we’d sing and dance forever and a day; we’d live the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose…

Appreciate the attempt, but it is 99.999 percent likely an original soundtrack song for a movie (less likely TV episode). Stand-alone songs are a non-starter.

7

The third line of the verses has the melody and chords of Bésame Mucho.
Edited to say never mind if it’s not a standalone song.

8

Is it this? It is Disney, but it’s what came to mind.

Finally figured it out–a scene from an episode of American Dad. (So not an original song.)
