Well, as the title says, I’m looking for good music for that special someone with delusions of grandeur. All I can think of is the Imperial March from Star Wars, and maybe Behold the Lord High Executioner from the Mikado. Can anyone else suggest something?
Well, thanks for your patience,
Ranchoth
Sad that I know this, but Shredder’s Theme from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie would qualify.
Sorry, can’t help you, but I was reminded of this funny snippet from a Happy Rhodes song, called “I Am A Legend.” It’s a hoot!
Oh it’s inside my active mind
That I am one of a kind
I am a legend in my, a legend in my own mind
I wish that you would all agree that I’m impeccably me
Make me a legend in your, a legend in all your minds

Revenge of the Black Regent by retro-electro-synth-sleaze outfit Add N To (X).
“I Wanna Rule The World” by 10cc.
Edward Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance” – the thing they play at graduations.
Pictures At An Exhibition - Mussorgski
The Promenade and Great Gates of Kiev pieces from that suite are suitably show-offish.
You can also check out Jupiter from The Planets Suite by Gustav Holtz.
Waffle King by “Weird Al” Yankovic on his Alapalooza album.
The song starts out with him creating the best waffle ever. Then he becomes famous and as the song goes on his delusions become larger and larger until:
Can’t you tell the universe revolves around me?
Don’t you know you suckers owe me everything?
And can’t you see that I’m the highest form of life that there
Could ever be?
If that isn’t a meglomaniac, I don’t know what is.
Another one of his songs that suggests meglomania (in the character, not in Al) is I’m Such a Groovy Guy, but not nearly as much as Waffle King.
