What song did Gaston and Lefou sing about Gaston's greatness? They sang “Gaston.”
The song appears after Gaston returns from being rejected by Belle. Lefou tries to cheer him by praising his strength, appetite, hunting skills, and popularity, while Gaston gradually joins in and celebrates himself. The number presents Gaston as boastful and self-absorbed, with Lefou acting as his devoted but often clumsy admirer.
“Gaston” is one of the film’s major comic production numbers, contrasting with the darker plot surrounding Belle’s imprisonment and the Beast’s transformation. It was written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman, whose songs helped give the 1991 film its Broadway-inspired structure.
A common mix-up is “Be Our Guest,” the lavish castle number performed for Belle by the enchanted servants. “Belle” introduces Belle and Gaston’s village, but it is not Gaston’s self-praise song.
