History Main / IAmGreatSong

Subtrope, naturally, of the [[IAmSong 'I Am' Song]]. Works best sung by a {{Large Ham}}.

* Music/{{Lordi}} has "I'm The Best":
-->I'm the best (I'm the best)\\
The best at being me

* The Act One finale of ''Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', "It Must Be Believed to Be Seen", crossbreeds this trope with WelcomingSong as Willy Wonka introduces himself to the Golden Ticket finders with promises that they're going to see incredible things on their tour of his factory -- all of which are of '''his''' invention. His world does warrant the hype, but he's also a {{Trickster}} AntiHero, and the catchy, brassy, cheekily sinister, glamorously-visualized number owes a lot stylistically to the ''VillainSong'' trope...

* ''WebVideo/ThrillingIntent'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCClDwl98RU The Ballad of Markus Velafi]], a song telling tall tales about his exploits without giving [[ConsummateLiar any details about himself, and admitting as much in the lyrics]] while trying to con the listener into giving him money.

Oh! You'll say it to me!"''\\

-->-- '''Lancelot''', "C'est Moi," ''{{Theatre/Camelot}}''

* "Perfect Isn't Easy", in ''Disney/OliverAndCompany''. A shot of that scene is seen above.

* The opening song in ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', "Perfect World", is all about how Kuzco believes the entire world revolves around him and how he gets everything he wants with zero difficulty. The rest of the film then proceeds to BreakTheHaughty in him.
* "It's Tough to be a God" in ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'' features one of the protagonists singing about how uncomfortable he is with their accidental (and arguably blasphemous) [[GodGuise position in the native society]], while the other one convinces him to stick with it by pointing out just how sweet life can be for a fake god.

* Two songs in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'':

* Sort of a case with ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'''s Mandatory VillainSong [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNlpuD42_BM Gaston]]. More of a "You are Great" song by Gaston's admirers but he joins in on praising himself partway through.

* "Who's The (Bat)Man?" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie'' is three minutes of Batman singing about how awesome he is and how cool his stuff is while beating up his entire RoguesGallery.
--->'''Batman:''' Who has the coolest gadgets? (Batman!)\\

* "The Cutting Edge" in ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' is largely about the [[TechnologyMarchesOn then-modern]] electronic devices boasting their superiority in function over the main characters.

Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK: In episode 18 of the anime, the class goes to a karaoke club. When [[SchoolIdol Kokomi Teruhashi]] gets her turn, she smugly laments on the cliché that people assume that someone as beautiful as her can't sing-

[[caption-width-right:350:This could never be you.]]

-->''If you're in trouble he will save the day,\\
He's brave and he's fearless come what may;\\

-->''"Am I not considerate, passionate, as kind as I'm handsome, and heir to a throne? "''

I am such a cute and kind a pretty girl,\\

-->"But sorry,\\

Oh! You'll say it to me!"\\

-->''If you're in trouble he will save the day\\
He's brave and he's fearless come what may\\
Without him the mission would go astray\\\

Without him life would be much grimmer\\
He's handsome, trim, and no-one slimmer\\
He will never need a zimmer''

* 2NE1 has perhaps their most iconic song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7_lSP8Vc3o "I Am The Best"]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GrJkMywWxY Shady Could've Done It Better]] has [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Marik, Bakura]] and [[YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries Shady Vox]] singing the notion that, "no matter what anybody else does, Shady could've done it better."
