* Miles Gloriosus' song, "Bring Me My Bride", in ''Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum'':
-->'''Miles:''' ''I, in war the most admired, in wit the most inspired, in love the most desired, in dress the best displayed, I am a parade!''



I am such a divine me!

* Contrary to what the beginning of this page states, "You and Me (But Mostly Me)" from ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'' manages to be both this and an [[IWantSong "I Want" Song]].

* 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 [[TheTrickster a Trickster]] AntiHero, and the catchy, brassy, cheekily sinister, glamorously-visualized number owes a lot stylistically to the ''VillainSong'' trope...



* Played with in ''Theatre/TheMikado'', where the title character sings about being a great Emperor in "From ev'ry kind of man," but "his daughter-in-law elect" Katisha interrupts and makes it about herself.
* In ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', the Pirate King plays it straight with his song, "Oh, better far to live and die," the chorus of which runs (and is later parodied within the show):
-->For I am a Pirate King!\\
(You are! Hurrah for the Pirate King!)\\
And it is, it is a glorious thing\\
To be a Pirate King!

* In the fourth and final part of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' serial "Bright Lights", we get the song "We Are The Flutter Ponies" as the titular race of ponies make Arabus and Zeb, who had been rather troublesome for the heroes up to that point, look like a joke while singing about just how powerful they are and backing up every word they say.
