"Very Important Creature" is the third song from The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire and the last song to be sung by a villain in The Land Before Time series.

Description[]

The song, "Very Important Ceature" is sung by Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra in the seventh Land Before Time film The Stone of the Cold Fire. Following the plot of the film, the trio are travelling to Threehorn Peak, where a mysterious object known as the "Stone of Cold Fire" has apparently landed, and Pterano overhears that it is said to have magical powers. This song displays much of Pterano's narcissistic side, as he sings about how amazing he believes he is and revels over his own appearance. It also shows his feelings towards others, that he does not want to rule them with an iron fist, rather he wants what he believes is best for them. At the same time he does so because he believes he is better than them, is their "savior", and that some, like him, are born to lead others. The song also shows one of the first obvious displays of Rinkus and Sierra's mutinous feelings towards Pterano, though they make sure to hide this from Pterano, as they need him to lead them to the stone, so they can then take its power for themselves.

Lyrics[]

Pterano
I've never needed anyone
I'll go my way alone
I'll use my own intelligence
to find that magical stone


Sierra
Oh no, you ain't cuttin' us out, ya crazy...


Rinkus
Please, we should not be fighting. We all want the same thing, yes? To gain the power of the stone, which we still must find, yes?


Sierra

Yes, sorry. Guess I got a li'l bit outta line. After all, you are the leader.


Pterano

Yes, I'm a very important creature
Tremendously brave and strong
I find that I am frequently right when others are often wrong
Instead of arguing blindly
They should open their eyes and see
that the one who will bring them paradise
is the very important me


Sierra

He sure is hard on himself, ain't he?


Pterano

I'm a fabulous, fearsome flyer
I handle life with finesse
When others say "No, it can't be so"
my answer is always "yes"
I was born to be their saviour
That is my destiny
Why do they despise, not recognize
the truly fantastic me?

Some of us are born to lead
while the rest of you must follow


Sierra

I'd like to knock him off his perch


Rinkus

This is getting hard to swallow


Pterano

Look at these wings
Look at this beak


Rinkus

I guess you can say you're quite unique.


Sierra

When I finish with him, he won't even squeak.


Pterano

What did you say?


Rinkus

He said "lead the way!"


Sierra

That's it, I've had it with that blowhard.


Rinkus

I know, I know, but be patient. Let him lead us to the stone.


Sierra

Oh, yeah, yeah, I get ya. Then, it'll be time to make a few changes in the peckin' order.


Pterano

We've a very important mission


Rinkus

Truly impressive quest


Pterano

They think we mean to do them harm


Sierra

when we only want what's best


Rinkus

And when we finally find the stone


Pterano

Then at last, they'll see


Sierra

How lucky they are to know


Rinkus

As they watch us from down below


Pterano

What reverence they will show
The very important


Rinkus

Very important


Sierra

Very important


Pterano

Me


Rinkus and Sierra join in

The very important we
