* ''Theatre/CrossRoad'' has "Mitase Mimi wo", where the devil Amduscias sings about how humans should come to him, and forget God, because they all belong to demons anyway, to a sweeping, triumphant but gentle melody. (Though it's [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation possibly]] a facade he's put on because he's unable to cope with the looming death of his contracted human, Niccolo Paganini, making this Amduscias' BSODSong).

* ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'' famously has all the girls from an orphanage happily singing and dancing to "It's the Hard knock Life", which describes the miseries of being in the orphanage: basically being kid slaves with never-ending work, and no one ever caring for them:
-->''Empty belly life.\\
Rotten smelly life.\\
Full of sorrow life.\\
No tomorrow life.\\
Santa Claus we never see.\\
