Line 332:
** "Everything You Ever" is a dark subversion as it as about Billy getting everything he wanted {{spoiler|except Penny, and as a result everything else just leads him to a spiral into disaster and a total transformation into Dr. Horrible.}}
* ''[[Star Wars]]'' [http://www.infauxmedia.com/ The Musical] has an amazing "I Want" Song in Luke Skywalker's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PktN2MrRQGU "One Season More"].
* ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'' possibly has one as it's opening song "Goin' Back to Hogwarts" has Harry and several other characters excitedly singing about returning to school. Malfoy's verse of the song is definitely this trope as he sings about all the things he wants. Later in the show Malfoy attempts to sing an "I Want" Song about his dream school Pigfarts but Snape interrupts him.
** In ''[[A Very Potter Sequel]]'', Hermione has "The Coolest Girl". She's tired of being the object of derision and scorn
* In Dozerfleet's ''[[Camelorum Adventures]]'' - inspired by ''[[The Tale of Emily Barnes and the Two Jens]]'' by Chad Patterson - Emily "Semaphore" Barnes gets n subverted version that doubles as a [[Wanderlust Song]]. The scenario in which she sings it is set up similarly to a Disney Princess singing about wanting "more". But the majority of her lyrics are simply about going wherever she wants to without fear of others placing responsibilities on her that she didn't ask for. Instead of the traditional Disney genre, however, she is indicated in notes to be attempting to sing the entire thing in ska-punk vocals, in the style of bands like [[Reel Big Fish]] and [[Save Ferris]]. This is a commentary on how Disney seems to avoid adapting ska for its animated princesses.
* Sally Nieryan in ''[[The Slushy Show]]'' employs this trope, as she only wants her father's job at the radio station to be spared so she doesn't have to worry about significant lifestyle changes being made in her own life.
