"Megalomaniac" is a song by industrial rock band KMFDM from the album commonly referred to as Symbols. It was released in various forms in late 1997 and early 1998. The song peaked at #22 on Billboard's Bubbling Under 100 chart, the band's only appearance on the chart. The associated music video featured a then-unknown, and only 17 year old Kelly Brook.[2] A 7" vinyl version was released in 2009.
The song was also used in the film Mortal Kombat Annihilation[3] in the end credits and in the 1998 racing video game Test Drive 5, along with an instrumental version in the latter.
