Bragging Theme Tune

""Kouji can! Shop underground! He can microwave a flea! In his rob-art Man, Mazinger Z!""

- Not quite the lyrics to Mazinger Z, TOEI dub

A subtrope of Expository Theme Tune where instead of describing the plot, the whole... uh... theme of the song is about just how amazing a character is, describing how all his enemies pale in comparison and how his attacks and powers will rip them to shreds.

Compare Boastful Rap, where the artist makes one about himself, or "I Am Great" Song, where a character sings this about himself in-show. Inversion of "The Villain Sucks" Song, which is about how amazing the villain is not.

Anime and Manga
"Bigger than big, taller than tall, Quicker than quick, stronger than strong. Ready to fight for right, against wrong. Gigantor, Gigantor, Gigantor."
 * Dare da?! Dare da?! Dare daaaaa?!
 * Shinzo Ningen Casshan has an opening narration that talks about the enemy army, the Andro Army, on how they are dangerous. It ends with "If Casshan can't do it, who can?" It is then proceeded by Isao Sasaki singing how strong Casshan is, how his attacks are powerful, and how Casshan can destroy the Andro Army. It ends with calling Friender's various forms (FRIENDER JET!).
 * The opening of Hurricane Polymar describes how amazing the Hariken technique is, complete with him performing the techniques during the opening. Oh, and... DAN DAN DAN DAN DUN BABANG BAN BAN TORYAAAAAAAAAA~
 * Most Super Robot shows (often combined with Calling Your Attacks), including
 * Mazinger Z
 * Great Mazinger
 * UFO Robo Grendizer
 * Getter Robo
 * Kotetsu Jeeg
 * Raideen
 * Combattler V
 * Daimos
 * Gigantor

"Here he comes! Here comes Speed Racer! He's a demon on wheels! He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone! He's gainin' on ya so you better look alive! He's busy revvin' up the powerful Mach 5! And when the odds are against him and there's dangerous work to do You bet your life Speed Racer will see it through!"
 * The original Japanese version also had one, although unlike the next example, the two versions had different tunes.
 * GaoGaiGar
 * Really, most shonen-oriented anime series in the '80s and earlier had such a theme song, even non-giant-robot ones like Devilman (original TV series).
 * Speed Racer and its next gen Spin-Off:

"(Rough English translation): Although I don't wear any makeup, you still have a crush on me. When I cry my pearly tears, boys fall to their knees!"
 * The original Japanese version (Mach Go Go Go) also had one, but while both use the same tune, the Japanese one was more about the car then the person driving it.
 * All versions of Cutie Honey use the same song, which talks about how hot Honey is and how nice her breasts and butt are.
 * Also see Honey's spiritual descendant, Majokko Meg-chan, with a theme song in which the singer (Meg herself) boasts about how she can easily manipulate boys with her coquettish behaviors.

"''His name's Zolo; he's just like a samurai, and an L-A-D-Y, Nami's not shy. The pirate crew, coming through doing their thing with the king of the pirates; he's gonna be king!"
 * The Canadian, French, Italian, German and Dutch versions of Sailor Moon (the original, not so much)
 * Although Stars' theme might count as one...
 * The German version of Rose of Versailles : "Lady Oscar! Lady Oscar! She can fight like a man! She can fence and ride! She makes miracles happen, overcomes dangers (...) and is still always ladylike!
 * JAM Project's own Masaaki Endoh wrote his own SuperRobot/Sentai-esque theme song about how awesome he is.
 * Endoh is notable for singing these, soloing Birth of the King of Braves and being JAM Project's main vocalist on Mazin Kenzan and Gasshin! God Gravion.
 * Well it isn't an official Theme Tune, Sogeking's song in One Piece definitely fits here.
 * Heck the 4Kids theme song of One Piece counts.

"His name's Zolo; just like a samurai, and an L-A-D-Y, Nami's not shy. Ussop's doin' that marksman thing, Sanji's cookin', Chopper's doctoring."
 * The dub changed with the addition of new characters

"See her flying through the air Buzzing here and buzzing there Saying "Catch me if you dare!" Busy buzzing everywhere."
 * The American version of Maya the Bee:

"And this Bee I'm talking about is called Maya Little, smart, cheeky bee, Maya Maya flies through her world Shows us the things she likes."
 * The German version counts as well:

"Yes, we are-- We've arrived, The most elite soldiers in the universe! We even shut up whining kids! We're the Ginyu Force! Yes, we are-- We'll show you our special fighting pose; You'd better kneel before its beauty! ''Ginyu Force rules! Ginyu Force rules! Ginyu Force rules! Ginyu Force rules!"
 * In a spectacularly campy and flamboyant way only possible for the The Ginyu Force, Dragon Ball Kai gave them their own self-sung theme song.


 * "Usopp Drop" from One Piece, although considering Usopp, a fair amount of it is lies.
 * "Unbeatable", the opening theme song to Pokémon: Advanced Battle, qualifies as one of these.
 * "Tobe! Gandamu!", the opening theme to Mobile Suit Gundam with "Ginga he mukatte tobe yo, Gandamu! Kidou Senshi! Gandamu... Gandamu!" which translates directly into "Fly to the edge of the galaxy, Gundam! Mobile Warrior! Gundam... Gundam!". The whole song is a bit bragging, but mainly the last part. Andrew W.K. translated that part into "Fly away into the deep outer space, Gundamu! Mobile Warrior! Gundamu... Gundamu!", which still brags quite a bit, and sounds cool anyway.
 * Although it doesn't explicitly brag about his exact abilities, Ichigo of Bleach's theme tune is called "Number One". Does any more need to be said?

Fan Wirks
"WHO HAS THE GRAND SENSE OF AD-VEN-TUUUURRE? (CAL-VIN AND HOBBES!) WITH A CARDBOARD BOX WITH A TIME SENSOR? (CAL-VIN AND HOBBES!) A VIVID IMAGINATION THAT'S A MAGNET FOR TROUBLE? (CAL-VIN AND HOBBES!) GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE AND PRAISE THEM ON THE DOUBLE! (CAL-VIN AND HOBBES!)"
 * Script Fic Calvin and Hobbes: The Series has one:

Film
"Bullshot! Gosh you've done it again. You've saved the human race. Bullshot! With your dazzling brain, and every hair in place! You make the ladies' hearts go pitter-patter 'Cause you're every inch a man. ''Bullshot! Yes you've done it again, as only Bullshot can."
 * Bullshot. A jaunty 1930's-style song praising the hero plays over the end credits.

"There once was a man named Worrell- Ernest P. Worrell! Even as a lad he was sensitive and caring As cunning as a fox and as slippery as a herring Whimsical and mellow A hale and hearty fellow Not formal...Not normal"
 * Subverted in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka. John Slade explains to Jack Spade that the guys following him around are playing his theme music. At the end of the movie, a rap group appears and begins a song about Jack.
 * The puppet's song about Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
 * "Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?/Shaft!/Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all around?/SHAFT!"
 * "FLASH! AAAAAA!/Saviour of the universe!/FLASH! AAAA!/He'll save every one of us!/FLASH! AAAAA!/He's a miracle/FLASH! AAAA!/King of the impossible!/He's save every one of us, stand for every one of us/Every woman, every child, he's a mighty/Flash!"
 * "Yor's world, he's the man! Yor's world, he's the maa-an!"
 * Nearly every James Bond film has one of these.
 * "Star Spangled Man" from Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * Spaceballs, mixed with Villain Song. Warning us to watch our backs, lest they take out their anger by destroying our planet. They chose to play this as everything is going to hell and the Spaceballs are evacuating their soon to be exploding ship.
 * Ernest Rides Again begins with this little ditty;


 * In Spy Hard, "Weird Al" Yankovic sings a theme tune that, while not just being a parody of James Bond theme songs, is dedicated entirely to how awesome the main character supposedly is.

Live Action TV
"No one can ever take them down. The power lies on their si-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-ide! Go go Power Rangers! Go go Power Rangers! Go go Power Rangers! You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!"
 * The uncut version of "Go Go Power Rangers," and likely some other Power Rangers and Super Sentai songs as well.

"There is a man a legend tells, who stands for what is right. Like Wyatt Earp he never shirks, or cowers from a fight. He is our Sheriff Lobo, mighty Sheriff Lobo. Heart of gold, oh Lobo--Keep us strong! He has no fear, he's always here, his morale stands alone. A man of dreams, who guards our things as if they were his own. He walks the streets from early dawn, he stands behind our laws. Both big and small, he bends them all, who dares to fight his cause. He is our Sheriff Lobo, mighty Sheriff Lobo. Heart of gold, oh Lobo--Keep us strong."
 * From Xena: Warrior Princess. Joxer The Mighty writes and performs his own theme song.
 * Parodied on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Mads penned a sitcom theme song for themselves and performed it, then ordered Mike and the Bots to do the same. Tom Servo had one of this variety (set to "O Fortuna") all ready to go, which the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide describes as "pure bombast."
 * The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo. Subverted in that it plays over a montage of the Sheriff and his men repeatedly stuffing up.

"Day Man! AAAAAA!/Fighter of the Night Man! AAAAAA!/Champion of the sun! AAAAAA!/You're a master of karate and friendship for everyone/Day Man!"
 * Also subverted because the lyrics are ambiguous. Especially "...guards our things as if they were his own" and "...stands behind our laws. Both big and small, he bends them all...".
 * Not exactly a theme tune, but it probably counts:

"Whom can you turn to for prompt diagnosis? A fetish or fantasy. Sex or psychosis. No problem at all. Let us handle your call. On our show, On our show. Bring us your traumas, Your latent neurosis. Erectile dysfunction, Bed-Wetting, narcosis. There's no need for shame, you can use a false name. On our show! On our show! Niles: Who dares enter the dark labyrinth of the human mind? What festering secrets are buried in the recesses of the subconscious? Lurid images, lewd desires, guilty pleasures, strange compulsions. The whole catalogue of human behaviour, from the aberrant to the monstrous, lurks behind a locked door to which one man holds the key! So if you are stymied, to find a prognosis, And ask yourself, just like Freud, [MAN SINGS IN GERMAN]! Stop scratching your head, Let us cure it instead. On our show! On our show! Now here is the man, to explain, ''The tortured terrain, of your brain, ''The man who feels everyone's pain, ''Dr Crane! ''Dr Crane! ''Frasier Crane!"
 * The opening credits of Harry & Paul portray its stars as Communist-style dictators, accompanied by a patriotic anthem praising them in the same style.
 * Ozzy Osbourne composed one as the opening credits theme for Dog the Bounty Hunter.
 * Frasier in one episode was told get a jingle for his Show Within a Show. He conducts an over-the-top bragging theme tune.

"When a crime breaks out, all the cute girls shout, Get the...good looking guy! When there's a crime out there, he's gonna... Comb his hair, cause he's the...good looking guy!"
 * In contrast, Frasier's ending credits theme (which is sung by the character of Frasier, not just Kelsey Grammer) is more self-depreciating and self-aware than Frasier normally is, actually admitting that "And maybe I seem a bit confused / Well maybe — but I got you pegged! / But I don't know what to do with these tossed salads and scrambled eggs", something he rarely acknowledges onscreen.
 * Teddy Z he's the Man to See Uh huh/He's got the key to your fantasy, uh huh/If you want your star on the blvd, power fortune or fame/Call on Teddy...cause he can play that game/Teddy Z he's the man to see uh huh/You'll go far/He's in charge of your reality/He'll make you a star/Just call up...The Famous Teddy Z
 * Parodied on Boy Meets World when Eric decides he wants to be a detective on TV.


 * In-Universe example: "Barney Stinson! Barney Stinson! That guy's awesome! This isn't Barney Stinson singing this song! That would be really lame!"

Music
"Thor, Odin's Son, protector of mankind Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits!"
 * Bible Hymns.
 * Many songs by Amon Amarth. "Twilight of the Thunder God" for example:


 * Most national anthems are like this.

Professional Sports
"I am The Game, you don't wanna play me! I am control, no way you can shake me! I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me! I am the pain, and I know you can't take me! Look over your shoulder, ready to run Like a good little bitch from a smoking gun! I am the game and I make the rules So move on out or you can die like a fool Try to figure out what my move's gonna be Come on over, sucker, why don't you ask me? Don't you forget there's a price you can pay 'Cause I am the game and I want to play!"
 * Triple H's "The Game"

"I think I'm cute, I know I'm sexy! I got the looks, that drive the girls wild! I got the moves, that really move them! I send chills, up and down their spines! I'm just a sexy boy! Sexy boy! I'm not your boy toy! Boy toy! I'm just a sexy boy! Sexy boy! I'm not your boy toy! Boy toy! I make them hot, I make the shiver! Their knees go weak, whenever I'm around! They see me walk, they hear me talk! I make them feel, like their on Cloud 9! I'm just a sexy boy! Sexy boy! I'm not your boy toy! Boy toy! I'm just a sexy boy! Sexy boy! I'm not your boy toy! Boy toy! ''Eat your heart out girls! Hands off the merchandise!"
 * And then there's "King of Kings". The fact that it uses one of Jesus' titles pretty much says it all.
 * Hulk Hogan's "Real American" probably also qualifies.
 * Although it isn't actually about him. It was originally the theme for Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham.
 * The Undertaker used "American Badass" as his theme tune for a while during his Badass Biker phase.
 * Shawn Michaels' "Sexy Boy".

"God got up one morning, He was in an ugly mood, He was sick of floods and plagues, He wanted something really rude, He made a big piranha out of broken glass and glue, Then He gave her two legs and a nasty attitude. Well, the Sahara was a jungle 'till she ripped out all the trees, Then she looked up at the mountaintops, they all began to freeze, The sun gave her a cold until she set it on fire, You can see her for yourself if you think that I'm a liar! God made the Devil just for fun, When He wanted the real thing, He made Aja Kong!"
 * Aja Kong's theme, "Jungle Emperor":

"I am perfection, PERFECTION! ... So take your best shot Give it all you've got, COME ON! ... Some things are exactly what they seem I will define the things you dream Go check the scores again I'll come out a perfect ten They broke the mold when they made me ... I hold your life here in my hands Though you try hard to understand Your little mind won't turn Those little wheels will burn You'll recognize just who I am ... Things just come easier to me What you work hard for, I get free With no excuses made, I got all my dues paid ''And I stand here, so you can see"
 * John Cena used to have one:
 * Dolph Ziggler's [second most recent entrance (some of it is sampled in the one which followed):

"Lillee's pounding down like a machine Pascoe's making divots in the green Marshy's taking wickets Hookesy's clearing pickets And the Chappells' eyes have got that killer gleam Mr. Walker's playing havoc with the bats Redpath, it's good to see you back Lairdy's making runs Dougie's chewing gum And Gilmour's wielding willow like an axe"
 * Just about every AFL team has one.
 * Adelaide Crows: "We're the pride of South Australia, We're the mighty Adelaide Crows!"
 * Brisbane Lions: "Go Lions! Brisbane Lions! We'll kick the winning score! You will hear our mighty roar!"
 * Carlton Blues: "We're the team that never lets you down!"
 * Collingwood Magpies: "Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk, for the good old Collingwood!"
 * Essendon Bombers: "See the Bombers fly up, up, to win the premiership flag!"
 * Fremantle Dockers: "We're gonna roll 'em and we'll rock 'em! Gonna send 'em to the bottom! And if they get up, we'll do it again!"
 * Geelong Cats: "We are Geelong, the greatest team of all!"
 * Hawthorn averts it - I don't think "We love our club and we play to win" or "Come what may you'll find us striving, teamwork is the thing that talks" count as bragging.
 * Melbourne Demons: "It's a grand old (premiership) flag, it's a high-flying flag!". Not as blatant as some of the others, granted.
 * North Melbourne Kangaroos: "North Melbourne will be champions, just you wait and see!"
 * Port Adelaide Power: "We'll never stop, stop, stop, 'till we're top, top, top!"
 * Richmond Tigers: "We're behind, but never mind, we'll fight and fight and win!"
 * St Kilda Saints: "Oh how I want to be in St Kilda, when the Saints go marching in!"
 * Sydney Swans: "Whether the odds be great or small, Swans will go in and win over all!"
 * West Coast Eagles: "We're the big birds, kings of the big game, we're the Eagles, we're flying high!"
 * Western Bulldogs: "'cause you can't beat the boys of the Bulldog breed, the team of the mighty west!"
 * Channel 9's World Series Cricket theme, "C'mon Aussie C'mon", combines this with Patriotic Fervor:

"They're not just getting runs They're out there smashing tons Spinning big-time records back-to-back."
 * And then Shannon Noll's version turned it Up to Eleven, although admittedly it was at a time when Australia was, undisputedly, the number one cricket team in the world:

"The black clouds are swirling overhead They're coming, the teams the others dread The Pakis, the Windies, both want to win this series They'll make the turf a dangerous place to tread Mufasa, Javed and Imran Khan And there's Richards, Lloyd and Big Bird, mahn The hardest teams on Earth Will be treading on our turf ''There's thunder down under coming on"
 * The 1983/84 version actually subverted this, building up Pakistan and the West Indies as major threats to Australia:

"Come on, Aussie, come on, come on Come on, Aussie, come on"
 * CROWNING. MUSIC. OF AWESOME.

"(To the tune of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah"): They mauled the Balmain Tigers, Slew the Dragons from St. George, The Seagulls and the Mounties next Were crushed with mighty force They humbled Parramatta And the Berries in due course They wear the RED & GREEN
 * Name an BPL team. Any BPL team. Chances are, they have an anthem that tells of how awesome they are.
 * Many supporters of football clubs sing songs about their favorite players or club legends.
 * In Rugby League the South Sydney Rabbitohs' song goes as far as to list all the teams Souths beat in grand finals:

(CHORUS) ''They plucked the Western Magpies, ''Slashed the Newtown bag of blue ''The Eastern Suburbs rooster crowed, ''And then was conquered too ''The greatest name in any game ''Within South Sydney grew ''They wear the RED & GREEN"

"''Who 'Dat?! Who 'Dat?! Who 'Dat say 'dey gon' beat 'dose Saints?!"
 * From New Orleans, the Saints have their fans' theme song, chanted at every game by fans and players alike.


 * Emphasis is placed on the exclamation point because it's not exactly used as a question.
 * Translation from the gumbo pot of language that consists of Cajun, French, Spanish, White, Black, Asian, etc. that is "Yat", "Who is that? Who is that? Who is that who says they will defeat the Saints?"
 * Yes, this is coming from a New Orleanian. Yes, we are literate. We like to mix everything into the Jambalaya, not just what the system wants.

Theater
"CYRANO (making two steps toward De Guiche): My Lord de Guiche, permit that I present— (pointing to the cadets): The bold Cadets of Gascony, Of Carbon of Castel-Jaloux! Brawling and swaggering boastfully, The bold Cadets of Gascony! Spouting of Armory, Heraldry, Their veins a-brimming with blood so blue, The bold Cadets of Gascony, Of Carbon of Castel-Jaloux:
 * Cyrano De Bergerac: Cyrano improvises a poem about the life of a Gascon Cadet at Act II Scene VII. You can read it complete if you follow the link.

Eagle-eye, and spindle-shanks, Fierce mustache, and wolfish tooth! Slash-the-rabble and scatter-their-ranks; Eagle-eye and spindle-shanks, With a flaming feather that gayly pranks, Hiding the holes in their hats, forsooth! Eagle-eye and spindle-shanks, Fierce mustache, and wolfish tooth!

'Pink-your-Doublet' and 'Slit-your-Trunk' Are their gentlest sobriquets; With Fame and Glory their soul is drunk! 'Pink-your-Doublet' and 'Slit-your-Trunk,' In brawl and skirmish they show their spunk, Give rendezvous in broil and fray; 'Pink-your-Doublet' and 'Slit-your-Trunk' Are their gentlest sobriquets!

What, ho! Cadets of Gascony! All jealous lovers are sport for you! O Woman! dear divinity! What, ho! Cadets of Gascony! Whom scowling husbands quake to see. Blow, 'taratara,' and cry 'Cuckoo.' What, ho! Cadets of Gascony! Husbands and lovers are game for you!"

"Dragonborn, Dragonborn By his honor is sworn To keep evil forever at bay! And the fiercest foes rout When they hear triumph's shout Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!"
 * "Dragon Kick your ass into the milky way!"
 * BANG, BANG, BA-BAAAAAAANG!! BAANINGU TAMASHII!!
 * "Joy's theme":, Shenmue 2. She's apparently a goddess on a pair of wheels.
 * "Ain't That Funny" Jack, Jack/He's a psycho maniac/That's right/ It's death on sight/It don't matter who's wrong or right...
 * All hail Shadow! Seriously, just listen to those lyrics without thinking at any point that Shadow must be a force to be reckoned with.
 * Yuke! Akai Homura!!
 * "Terran Up The Night", the end credits song from StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty is a metal song by Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain about how awesome the Terrans are.
 * Previously, "Power of the Horde", the end credits to Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne was all about how the Horde is completely awesome, and Farseers are even more awesome. There seems to be a pattern here...
 * Bayonetta, this is your time ! You're gonna sparkle you're gonna shine ! Girl, when you fight, it looks like a dance! You are maaagic, you're maaaagiiic ! The trope is arguably subverted though since there is a little bit of melancholy in some parts of the lyrics.
 * Margaret Moonlight's Ear Worm theme song "Philistine" from No More Heroes 2 certainly qualifies.
 * Ashley's song from Wario Ware: Twisted, which primarily has her boasting about her magical prowess.
 * The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's "Sons of Skyrim" is a pretty straightforward case of this. In a Con Lang.


 * Disgaea examples: -
 * Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories: Axel's theme, White Tiger spends it runtime proclaiming the power and might of its owner.
 * Disgaea: Hour of Darkness: Lord Laharl's Hymn announces that Laharl is a great evil for playing with fire and not washing his hands after he uses the toilet.

Web Comics
"Wow! Oh my! It's Princess Pi She rushes to defend the weak She's really quite a guy Even though she's not a guy Her nails shine like justice And her skin's the color mocha Her private eyes are watching you ''She has more friends than Oprah!"
 * The first Princess Pi comic opened with one.

Web Original
"Deep underground with my robots Built ‘em out of toy parts Build an army and war starts. UFOs that throw a radium glow Into your skull it sinks Turn your brains into Shrinky Dinks. What fun, I built a Ronald McRay gun! Now this little puppet’s about to get rough! I’m a man with a plan and a mechanical band Who can’t do a little, cause he can’t do enough. And as my armies rise They take to land and sky ''You’ll find the toys uprise inside"
 * TROGDOR!!!
 * LINKARA! He is a man (PUNCH!), wears a purdy hat...
 * There are three of these in Milkquarious: "You're Almost as Beautiful as Me", "Have You Met My Muscles?", and "I Am the King."
 * Doctor Steel's song, "The Doctor Steel Show". A small bump of this song is played at the beginning of each episode of The Dr. Steel Show, and a slightly altered instrumental loop plays at the end of Episode 1.


 * A possible Deconstruction is "Everyone's a Hero" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The song is essentially trying to tell how great Hammer is while posing as an inspirational speech.
 * His introductory number, "A Man's Gotta Do," also counts- he actually interrupts Dr. Horrible's more melancholy version, then spends the rest of the song bragging and hitting on nearby women.

Western Animation
"Sonic! He can really move! Sonic! He's got attitude! ''Sonic! He's the fastest thing alive!"
 * The Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic Sat AM cartoon

"Magneto's hordes are on the way to pillage, burn and plunder But there's one team that will not yield The team that strikes like thunder X-Men! This is their day X-Men! Coming Your Way!"
 * Continued with Sonic X.
 * Spider-Man - "Spider man, spider man, Does whatever a spider can!"
 * "Spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies! Look out, here comes the Spider-Maaaaaaan!"
 * The 1994 animated series, "Spider blood, spider blood, Radioactive Spider-Blood!"
 * A proud tradition continued with 2008's The Spectacular Spider-Man. "Living on the edge, fighting crime, spinning webs. Swinging from the highest ledge, he can leap above my head."
 * Freakazoid!'s theme tune is a parody of the likes of Spider-Man.
 * Hunt, hunt, hunt, he's the Huntsman!/"Into action!" is his cry!/From the forest to the city/he will run there in a jiffy/to sock evil in the eye!
 * The 80's Pryde of the X-Men cartoon did this.

"Blossom! Commander and the leader! Bubbles! She is the joy and laughter! Buttercup! Cuz she's the toughest fighter! Powerpuffs save the day! Fighting crime trying to save the world! Here they come just in time: THE POW-ER-PUFF GIRLS!"
 * "He's The Ace! He's AMAZING! He's the strongest, he's the quickest, he's the best! Danger Mouse..."
 * "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! It's Superman!"
 * The Powerpuff Girls closing theme probably counts.

"...To his Martian foes, a dangerous name, a superman... They crash him, and his body may burn, they smash him, but they know he'll return to live again... ''Though the Mysterons plan to conquer the Earth, this indestructible man will show what he's worth."
 * Darkwing Duck: "When there's trouble you call DW!"
 * Both the 2003 and 2009 Strawberry Shortcake themes are like this.
 * 2003: "I know a girl, and there is no one sweeter. She's got the special touch. Best friend in the world, and when you get to meet her, you'll love her very much. (She's doing fine, growing better all the time!)"
 * 2009: "She may be small, no task is too tall. She'll be your best bud, just give her a call! She's got style extraordinary, she's so sweet and she's caring."
 * Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars had one of these.
 * "BUCKY! CAPTAIN BUCKY O'HARE!/He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare!/If your Righteous Indignation has suffered a hit/And your photon accelerator is broken a bit/And you're losing your mind, and you're having a fit/Get the funky fresh rabbit who can take care of it!/BUCKY! CAPTAIN BUCKY O'HARE!"''
 * The ending theme to Captain Planet and the Planeteers, ironically often the most Badass, exciting thing about the show.
 * Captain Scarlet ending theme lyrics.

"When criminals in this world appear, And break the laws that they should fear, And frighten all who see or hear, The cry goes up both far and near for... Underdog! (x4) Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder! Fighting all who rob or plunder! Underdog! (x3)"
 * The original Underdog show.

"Whenever you need me, baby: call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me! Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when: I will be there for ya 'til the very end In danger or trouble I'm there on the double You know that you always can call Kim Possible ''Beep beep be-beep! "So what's the sitch?""
 * Kim Possible not only has a bragging theme tune, she does the bragging in the first person.

"He's hot, he's cool, as a frozen sun He's young and fast, he's the chosen one! People, we're not braggin' He's the American Dragon"
 * And yes, American Dragon: Jake Long's theme song brags too (although the visuals countermand it because it's obvious Jake isn't as awesome as the song says he is):

"5 o'clock get a call to go blading at the skate park down by the mall but my mom says I gotta prevent hostile aliens from annihilating us all With the strength of a million and seventy men I guess I really shouldn't complain Still I wish I could go for a walk without rusting in the rain ''It's enough to fry my brain!"
 * My Life as a Teenage Robot brags in the first person as well, though Jenny has I Just Want to Be Normal to de-awesome it a bit.

"He's a man on a mission in armor of high tech ammunition Trapped on the edge of an endless game his teenage life will never be the same In a dangerous world, he does all he can He's Iron Man!"
 * Iron Man: Armored Adventures 

"''If you need a hero that's a name you should know!"
 * Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! has one as well.

"Armed with powers he's on the case Fighting off evil from earth or space He'll never stop 'til he makes them pay 'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day! Ben 10!"
 * The first run Ben 10:

"WildC.A.T.s, WildC.A.T.s We've got invincible power WildC.A.T.s, WildC.A.T.s Yaah! One and only WildC.A.T.s We're heroes, Not zeroes We got what, They fear so Here's the facts We got power to the max You know we're tough as nails When all else fails Call WildC.A.T.s Nerves of steel WildC.A.T.s Here's the deal WildC.A.T.s ''Better watch out"
 * Megas XLR, more in tone than in lyrics...
 * It's right though. Everybody digs giant robots.
 * The animated adaptation of the Image comic WildC.A.T.s had one

"Hercules, hero of song and story. Hercules, winner of ancient glory. Fighting for the right, Fighting with his might, With the strength of ten, ordinary men. Hercules, people are safe when near him. Hercules, only the evil fear him. Softness in his eyes, Iron in his thighs, Virtue in his heart, Fire in every part, Of the Mighty Hercules."
 * The 60s The Mighty Hercules:

"He could walk through walls, disappear and fly! He was much more unique than the other guys!"
 * The Danny Phantom theme song:

"Superking has all the powers of a king Plus all the powers of Superman Also he's a robot Ain't it cool? Superking, you rule!"
 * Parodied in the Futurama episode "Less than Hero."

"Prince Ali! Mighty is he! Ali Ababwa! Strong as ten regular men, definitely! He faced the galloping hordes A hundred bad guys with swords Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Prince Ali!"
 * Not a Theme Tune, but otherwise a spot-on example:

"When there's trouble, you know who to call! (Teen Titans!) From their tower, they can see it all! (Teen Titans!) When there's evil on the attack You can rest knowing they've got your back! 'Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol... TEEN TITANS, GO!"
 * In various of the theme tunes used by the UK and US Spot the Dog shorts:
 * ...He's soft and cuddly and he smiles a lot/if there ever was a pup to cheer you up...
 * ...With a smile and a laugh he can light up your day/Like the sun get over the hill/and his tail wiggle-wags 'cause he's ready to play...
 * ...Here he comes with a giggle and a hop/running so fast that he just can't stop...
 * The full version adds ...Wagging his tail, wanting to play/looking for whatever's coming his way...
 * A Theme Tune trope can't "boop-boop-a-doop" like Betty Boop can do.
 * The American version of the Animated Adaptation of Mega Man: while the bragging is only in the last two sentences of the theme ("Super fighting robot Mega Man, fighting to save the world!"), the overall musical tone and the opening animation itself is about how much Mega Man kicks ass.
 * The Teen Titans theme tune probably counts.

"When there's trouble, you know what to do! (Call Cyborg!) He can shoot a rocket from his shoe! ('Cause he's Cyborg!) Dah dah doo dah, something like that, oh yeah! Na na na na, big fluffy cats, that's right!"
 * Cyborg has his own version.

"Tony Stark makes you feel He's the cool exec with a heart of steel. As IRON MAN all jets ablaze, He fights and smites with his repulsor ray! AMAZING ARMOR That's Iron Man! A BLAZE OF POWER That's Iron Man..."
 * The 90s Iron Man cartoon second season intro doesn't tell you much more than that his name is Iron Man; it seems pretty clear this is considered a good thing though.
 * The 60s theme tune is a better example:

"Who’s got the sweetest disposition? One guess, that’s who? Who never, ever starts an argument? ("Hm?") Who never shows a bit of temper'ment? Who's never wrong, but always right? ("Yee-eeah?") Who'd never dream of starting a fight? ("'S that so?") Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one -- ("Wakwakwakwak!") -- but Donald Duck! ("YEAH!")"
 * The old Donald Duck shorts (those released after 1947) had one performed by the Rhythmaires. In a fun subversion, it brags about virtues that Don actually lacks.

"Who do they call when Bumblyburg's in trouble? Who's got the suit with super-suction ears? There's no need to panic, 'cause this guy's manic, And you know that he'll save the day! You need a hand, he's right there on the double Hey, hey, he's on the way Purple and yellow! He's one super fellow! Larry-Boy! Larry-Boy! Lean and mean green machine! ''Larry-Boy! Larry-Boy! Out of sight, veg-o-mite! Larry-Boy!"
 * Veggie Tales' superhero spoof, Larry Boy, also has a bragging theme song.

"Mister Trouble never comes around, When he hears this mighty sound! Here I come to save the day! That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way! Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right, Mighty Mouse will join the fight! On the sea or on the land, He gets the situation well in hand! So though we are in danger, There's no need to despair! For when we are in danger he is there! On the land! On the sea! In the air! We're not worrying at all! We're just waiting for his call! Here I come to save the day! That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!"
 * Mighty Mouse's theme song:

"The freaks of nature span the globe, that's too big to deny. With canine guards we'll travel there and spit into their eye! I can't wait another day For my life to waste away. We'll make it a joint venture, before we're in our dentures. My Spirit of Adventure is you!"
 * Up's Muntz gets one over the closing credits (though the romantic tones don't seem to fit him).

"When Captain America throws his mighty shield All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield! If he's led to a fight And a duel is due Then the Red, and the White, and the Blue'll come through When Captain America throws his mighty shield!"
 * "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!/They're the world's most fearsome fighting team!/They're heroes in a half shell, and they're green!/When the evil Shredder attacks/These Turtle boys cut him no slack!"
 * " Wings of silver, nerves of steel!/Silverhawks!"
 * "Bravestarr! Bravestarr!/Eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolf!/Bravestarr! Bravestarr!/Strength of the bear, speed of the puma!"
 * 1966's The Marvel Superheroes cartoon theme song for Captain America (comics) -

"The Beak, the Beak, He's strong enough to move a mountain, you're pretty weak. ''(Seriously, what do you bench?)"
 * " It's G.I. Joe against Cobra, the enemy/Fighting to save the day/He never gives up, he's always there/Fighting for freedom over land and air/G.I. Joe!/A Real American Hero, G.I. Joe is there!"
 * Parodied in the Phineas and Ferb episode "The Beak", in which the Beak's theme tune praises him by disparaging the listener:

"Pepper Ann, Pepper Ann Marchin' in her own parade Pepper Ann, she's like one in a million! Pepper Ann, Pepper Ann Much too cool for 7th Grade Catch 'er if you can, Pepper Ann! No one's cooler than Pepper Ann! She's her own biggest fan Pepper Ann! ''Catch 'er if you can, Pepper Ann!"
 * Pepper Ann:

"No one shoots like Gaston! Makes those beauts like Gaston! Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston! Gaston: I use antlers in all of my decorating! My what a guy... GASTON!"
 * Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Gaston's theme song titled... Gaston

"Who's the greateset warrior ever, a hero of renown? Who slayed an evil ocean? Cast the Lich King down? Billy! That time the evil Fire Count captured a damsel fair, Who saved her with such bravery, she offered him her hair? Billy! Also, he fought a bear!"
 * Billy, a Memetic Badass from Adventure Time, has a theme tune bordering on Crazy Awesome.

"Avengers, assemble! Always, we will fight as one! Until the battle's won, with evil on the run, We never come undone. Assemble, we are strong! Forever fight as one."
 * The Mask's opening theme.
 * The theme song of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes sounds pretty boastful, but not as much as other superhero theme songs do; half of it (not included here) has more to do with the world entering a period of chaos.

"Hear the legends of the Kung Fu Panda! Raised in a noodle shop, never seeking glory or fame, He climbed the mountaintop and earned the Dragon Warrior name HOO! HAA! YA! Kung Fu Panda! Master Shifu saw the warrior blossom And master the skills of bodacious and awesome! Kung Fu Panda! He lives and he trains and he fights with the Furious Five, Protect the valley something something something something alive! OOH! HAA! UNH! Kung! Fu! Panda!! Legends of Awesomeness Sweet!"
 * Danger Mouse: He's the greatest / He's fantastic / Wherever there's danger he'll be there / He's the ace / He's amazing / He's the strongest he's the quickest he's the best / Danger Mouse! Danger Mouse! DANGER MOUSE!!!
 * Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness has one. Bonus points for being sung by the main character himself.
