"Proud of Your Boy" is a song cut from Aladdin, sung by Aladdin about his unnamed mother saying that even though he wasn't born perfect, Aladdin still wants to make his parents proud. Clay Aiken performed this song in 2004. "Proud of Your Boy" was written by Howard Ashman (before he passed away in 1991), and was cut by Alan Menken when the storyline was changed. The demo by Alan Menken is available on the Special Edition Aladdin CD. "Proud of Your Boy" was later reused for the Broadway version of Aladdin.
