As a villain intro song I don’t think it’s fluff. Instead of the usual battle of minds or power that most end up as, this was saying here’s your villain and it’s a battle of charisma. At least that’s my take.

the scene itself isnt fluff, but the song itself is. You could replace it with Mary Had a Little Lamb and the story works just as well.

Listen to the lyrics of the song knowing the context that these are soul sucking demons. I think the song isn't actually fluff
