In the same way that the Villain Song is the classic moment for the villain of a musical to have a chance to shine and expand upon their philosophy of life, the Sidekick Song is the chance for the hero's comedy sidekick to have their moment in the sun—have a few laughs, spread the joy, that sort of thing. The Sidekick Song typically explains why the Sidekick's abilities and/or philosophy are of service to The Hero. The Sidekick may also perform the "I Am Great!" Song for the Hero or Villain, as they may be too humble to do it for themselves, or they may need a Pep-Talk Song. Yet, the Sidekick Song may have little to do with The Hero's Journey at all, and is rather about Sidekick's own dreams and ambitions. The song doesn't have to be positive but usually is. The Sidekick Song can sometimes be combined with the Villain Song for Anti Villains or Magnificent Bastards. Often goes hand in hand with Disney Acid Sequence. |

The villain's sidekicks get one in Kiss Me, Kate: "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." And it's quite possibly the most well-known song in a show made of songs you've heard before but can't quite remember where (in particular, "Another Openin', Another Show," and "Too Darn Hot," which are themselves both sidekick songs). | |

Disney Animated Canon: "The Silly Song" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, "Heigh-Ho" is another example. "Give a Little Whistle" from Pinocchio. "The Work Song" and "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" from Cinderella "At the Ball" from the second sequel "The Bare Necessities" from The Jungle Book (1967). "I Wanna Be Like You" provides an Anti-Villain example (if King Louis can even be called a villain). "Why Should I Worry" from Oliver & Company — the Dodger isn't comic relief in the end, but it's very much a "let me astonish you, young stranger, with tales of my carefree lifestyle" song. "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid (1989). "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast. With a bonus, "Human Again," in the Broadway show. "A Friend Like Me" from Aladdin, though Genie fans might consider "One Jump Ahead" to be the true Sidekick Song. "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King (1994)...except the main character sings in it as well "Circle of Life" may also count, as it is implicitly sang by Rafiki in the movie (and explicitly in the play). "Upendi" from the sequel. "A Guy Like You" from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. "One Last Hope", sung by Phil in Hercules. Also "The Gospel Truth", "Zero to Hero", and "A Star is Born" for the Muses. One of the Cut Songs from Mulan "Keep 'em Guessing" was supposed to be one for Mushu. Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po get a song in the form of "A Girl Worth Fighting For" which has a reprise in the sequel, along with the background soldiers, although Mulan does sing one line of it—which is immediately rejected by the three as silly. Every song from The Princess and the Frog counts except "Down in New Orleans", "Almost There" and "Friends on the Other Side". "I've Got A Dream" from Tangled, though the leads Rapunzel and Flynn do join in near the end of the song (Flynn very reluctantly). "In Summer" from Frozen. Also the rock trolls' song "Fixer-Upper". "This Will All Make Sense When I'm Older" from Frozen II Encanto has two. "What Else Can I Do?" for Isabela. "Under the Surface" for Luisa, perhaps more explicitly than the former. I'm a Star from Wish sung by the animals brought to sentience by the titular star. |

The older brothers in Shenandoah are sort of ensemble sidekicks for the father, the youngest brother, and the (only) sister, and they get one song in which each of them have either a solo or a duet: "Next to Lovin' (I Like Fightin')", in which they brag about their prowess in the manly arts. No, the second kind. It's also the only really funny song in a show made primarily of angst (being set in Virginia during the Civil War). Gabriel the slave boy teams up with the youngest brother in their own Sidekick Song "Why Am I Me?" |

From Avenue Q, "If You Were Gay", "The Internet is for Porn", "You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want", "There is Life Outside Your Apartment, and "The More You Ruv Someone" and all the Cut Songs all serve this Trope. Actually, More than 60% of the play IS this trope. It helps if you just pretend the entire cast is the main character. The real main characters aren't really that much bigger parts than the rest, anyway. |

"Don'cha Pinch Me Charlie" in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory becomes a Crowd Song as the Bucket family and the press celebrate Charlie's Golden Ticket find, but most of it is handled by Older Sidekick Grandpa Joe (in fact, he's the one who demands the other bedridden grandparents follow his lead and get out of bed to join in!). Charlie gets a verse and chorus to himself, but it's telling that he lets Grandpa Joe lead everyone in the final stretch! | |

Hamilton: "Guns and Ships" is arguably one for Lafayette. Angelica gets one with "Satisfied", as well as "The Schuyler Sisters" with Eliza and Peggy. Somewhat stretching the definition of "sidekick", Washington gets two notable solo songs, "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" and "One Last Time". |

"I Like Him" and "A Little Gossip" from Man of La Mancha neatly sum up (with a few interjections from Aldonza) Sancho Panza's personality. | |

In Guys and Dolls, "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" is Nicely-Nicely Johnson's Sidekick Song. He and two other sidekick characters get the opening number, "Fugue For Tinhorns" ("I got the horse right here/His name is Paul Revere..."). For extra funny, Ernie Sabella - the voice of Pumbaa in The Lion King (1994) - performs "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" in the 1992 Broadway Revival of Guys and Dolls. And Nathan Lane (who voiced Timon) played Nathan in that production. |

An unusual example in Only You Can Save Mankind: The Musical. Bigmac is one of Johnny's sidekicks, and he gets the song "My Brother's Eyes". Only Bigmac's subplot is the most serious part of the story, and the song reflects that. | |

Encanto has two. "What Else Can I Do?" for Isabela. "Under the Surface" for Luisa, perhaps more explicitly than the former. |

Mozart seems to have been fond of these: both Leporello in Don Giovanni and Papageno in The Magic Flute get them. So do quite a few secondary characters in The Marriageof Figaro, which also puts the officially-a-sidekick Figaro in the lead. | |

"Baby, Dream Your Dream" is a bittersweet one sung by Nickie and Helene in Sweet Charity. Herman leads a high-spirited crowd number near the end of the show, "I Love to Cry At Weddings". Nickie, Helene, and Rosie pitch in at various parts. |
