I've been listening to a lot of Online by Brad Paisley via non-scrobblable means…I love upbeat songs that make amusingly questionable claims, often personal attributes that the character in question obviously does not possess. This includes both first-person delusions of grandeur and third-person tall tales. Here are some other such songs I know.

I'm Money – Zebrahead tries to rationalize a lack of friends and female attention.
Big Strong Man – Carbon Leaf boasts about a superhuman brother.
Kenesaw Mountain Landis – Jonathan Coulton sings about partially made-up versions of the first Commissioner of Baseball and his dealings with Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Mandelbrot Set – Jonathan Coulton can turn mathematicians into superheroes, too.
Waking Up Jedi – Tom Smith wakes up one day to find himself a Jedi.
Big big big da balls – I think you can figure out the theme of this Pure Pwnage song. They've done a few other co…nfident songs, too.
Skrie is made of win part 1 – denwO sings about the many ways in which fellow Pure Pwnage fan Skrie is win.
Stockmarket – Splen suggest that, "you can have it all, buying and selling on the stockmarket." :)
Wolves of the Sea – Pirates of the Sea will steal the show.
Wolves of the Sea – Alestorm thinks they're better for the job. Check out their other songs for more piratical daydreaming.
Year 3000 – Busted has been there.
Corduroy – The Previous becomes high school fashion king with corduroy pants.

Does anyone have any more to suggest?
