Good Evening,

I am coming on here because I know someone will be able to help me. Does anyone know of any arrogant male tenor songs for a white male (20's)? I am kind of looking for a song that is arrogant as in my looks, like I'm such a sexy man. Thanks so much for your help.

Proud Lady from "The Baker's Wife" is a great arrogant male song. It is written for a baritone, but you can always transpose.

The first thing that comes to mind is "Agony" from Into the Woods, but it's a duet. Could probably be done solo, though.

Edit: Sorry, bypassed the "tenor" requirement. Updated On: 12/14/05 at 04:25 PM

"The Ballad of Jack Eric Williams..." from Elegies: A Song Cycle.

arrogant male songs? "Me" from beauty and the beast first comes to mind


and christopher seiber actually does a version of "agony" solo - which means he looks psychotic - but it's how he got the part in spamalot!! it's hysterical

In Praise of Women - A Litle Night Music
Where is the Life that Late I Led? - Kiss Me Kate
I Rise Again or The Legacy - On the Twentieth Century (maybe a little too old)

"C'est moi" from Camelot
"Rolling Stock" from Starlight Express

C'est Moi from "Camelot" wins, hands down.

Grand Knowing you from She Loves Me

Damn, you all beat me to it. Those are all very good choices. I personally use "C'est Moi" whenever I'm auditioning for suave, arrogant guys.

"Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from Cabaret. :)

You can get away with anything from The Woman in White

[Katurian2]

C'est Moi of course!

You'll need a leading lady for YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING, of the furry kind

But C'EST MOI and Gaston's song ME from BEAUTY AND THE BEST are also excellent choices.

How about SOLILOQUY from CAROUSEL - it does have a bit of male arrogance thrown into it?

One that is pretty obscure but good is "Love Eyes" from WHOOP-UP!

Tomorrow Belongs To Me? An arrogant song? I don't think so...

Do you even know what that song is about?

If you want Kander & Ebb, "All I Care About Is Love" works.

The first song that popped into my head, though, was "C'est Moi." -- Easily the best song of this type.

Going a bit more obscure (and not that great a song, but it fits the criteria): "The Woman for the Man" from It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman.

Whoever said "Proud Lady" -- great call - I LOVE that song!

"My Fortune Is My Face" from Fade Out - Fade In.

Best way to get cast as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast:
sing the crap out of "I Feel Pretty."

[jasonf]

That's pretty funny - and I can definitely see how that would work.

Maybe "I Enjoy Being a Girl" would work...

I second Proud Lady... such a great song, and I've often wondered why it's not performed more often!

Or "If You've Got It, Flaunt It" from the Producers.

"Where was I when they passed out luck" from MINNIE'S BOYS is a good arrogant male song in a good range

[Leveradnon]

Definitely "Grand Knowing You" from She Loves Me. Its perfect!
