| - "Why Me?" is a deleted song from Aladdin, written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice. It was to be sung by Jafar when he used Genie to turn into a sultan and a sorcerer, and then takes over Agrabah. The Aladdin Jr. musical restores it, but at a different moment: in this version, he sings it when he's about to finally get the lamp. Some lyrics are slightly altered because of this (for instance, Who's the master of the lamp? becomes Who'll be master of the lamp?).
- Why Me? (2006) is a 4-minute movie created by Ryan Jockers.
- This is a true story about a life of a girl in sixth grade with a bunch of friends that turn on her. Names have been changed for the sake of true identidies. Lavafur You cannot win 14:59, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Iago: (speaking) Oooh, this has been a long time coming. Jafar: (speaking) Oh, if only you knew, Iago. It's been a lifetime!… (singing) In my formative and hungry years, I was unappreciated by my peers… As their slings and arrows flew, I would ponder - wouldn't you? -: "Why me? Why me?!" Iago: (speaking) Sing it, baby! Jafar: For a man of my charisma and mystique, Iago: (speaking) NOT! Jafar: I have taken far too long to reach my peak. Why was my status never quo? Why did no one want to know? Poor me! Why me?! Why was I so unable to fulfill my true potential? Iago: (speaking) Give me a tissue, I'm crying!
- Why Me? was the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 in Malmo performed by Linda Martin and written by 2-time winner Johnny Logan. It is sung from the point of view of a woman who is lucky to have her lover in her life - Johnny had originally written it about his wife. He also admitted that it appealed to him to win singing someone else's song, singing his own song, and have another artist win singing one of his songs.

It is sung from the point of view of a woman who is lucky to have her lover in her life - Johnny had originally written it about his wife. He also admitted that it appealed to him to win singing someone else's song, singing his own song, and have another artist win singing one of his songs. At the contest, it was performed seventeenth following the United Kingdom and preceding Denmark. At the close of voting, it came first with 155 points giving Ireland its fourth victory overall and the first of three consecutive wins in the early 90s. It also entered Linda into the elite group of artists who finished first one-year and second in another and further cemented Johnny's "legendary" status in Eurovision history, joining the group of composers who have written two winning songs.

Jafar: Kept down by those I knew were smaller fry… …Inconsequential! But here's the rub! Rub-a-dub-dub! (speaking) And now slave, grant me my first wish! I wish to be… SULTAN! [Cut to outside Agrabah.] Sultan: (speaking) Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter has finally chosen a suitor...Prince Ali Ababwa! [Aladdin as Prince Ali rides Abu (still an elephant) out of the palace gates. Suddenly, the Sultan loses his clothes to Jafar.] Jasmine: (speaking) Father? Aladdin: (speaking) Jafar! Jafar: (speaking) Sultan Jafar to you! Sultan: (speaking) Uh ?… (mumble)… What manner of trickery is this, Jafar!? Jafar: (speaking) No trickery, you rotund nincompoop ! (Singing) I am power, I am clout personified! I've a genie and sheer malice on my side! It's a combination which works me up to a favor pitch: "Big G"… and ME! Aladdin: (speaking) Genie, what are you doing!? Genie: (speaking) Sorry kid. I've got a new master now. Jafar: (speaking) You miserable wretches, bow to me! Aladdin: (standing strong with his friends) We will never bow to you! Jafar: (speaking) Then… you will cower! GENIE! My second wish... I wish--I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer… IN THE WORLD!!!! Har-har ! [Jafar becomes a sorcerer thanks to the Genie.] Jafar: When the master of the lamp says "Bow"… you bow! You forget who wears the pants around here now? A man who knows just what to do, and who to do it to! Who's he? M-E! Iago: (cheering) Yes! Jafar: And as for you, you little twerp, from now on, it's "as you were" time! Let's have your pretty princess see how she's been wasting her time! Let's strip him bare! (speaking after changing "Ali" back to Aladdin) Take a good look at your precious Prince Ali! Iago: (speaking) Or should we say, Aladdin! Jafar: (speaking) He's nothing more than a worthless, lying street rat! Jasmine: (speaking) Ali! Aladdin: (speaking) Jasmine, I'm sorry. Jafar: Though I hate to break a partnership, YOU'RE GOING ON A ONE-WAY TRIP… Iago: (speaking) Bye-bye! Jafar: …to a corner of the sphere…, not a million miles from here, But two! Too-loo! Who's the titan!? Who's the champ?! Who's the master of the lamp?! Who's the one who'll take up pages in who's who?! Iago: (cheering) Take it on home, Jafar! Jafar: Who?! …Why, MEEE! [Jafar blasts Aladdin away and laughs evilly over his triumph.]
