A song or musical theme, often overlapping with an IWantSong and becoming either a BootstrappedTheme or MusicOfNote, about the power of following your dreams/your heart/a star and/or making wishes. When done right, will cause even the most jaded badass to cry ManlyTears at the CrowningMusicOfAwesome, when done wrong you will say "TastesLikeDiabetes". The Diabetes flavor will become either quickly forgotten or a pandemic level EarWorm ("Small World" class), the CrowningMusicOfAwesome will become as notable if not [[BreakawayPopHit more]] than the work it premiered in.
