What's the opposite of a dark horse? This is the ship most likely to have to be disqualified because it's getting too many votes and throwing off the whole tournament. Misto generally doesn't sing his own song, because the character is focused on dancing, so Rum Tum Tugger just rolls out and does a whole bit about how cool and great Misto is. And this is after Misto cuts into Tugger's song to call him a terrible bore. They're considered canon in many productions and this point.
