Noticing the growing stacks of arriving CDs by singers, hearing many of them in action, it occurred to me that some – not all – of their performances could more accurately be based on material from the Great American Narcissists Songbook. Here are a few selections that come to mind:
“I’ve Got Me Under My Skin”
“The Very Thought of Me”
“The Shadow of My Smile”
“I Do Something To Me”
“I’ve Got A Crush On Me”
“Something (In the Way I Move)”
“It Had To Be Me”
“Me and the Night and the Music”
“I”ll Never Stop Loving Me”
“I Go To My Head”
“I Hadn’t Anyone Till Me”
“The Song Is Me”
Anybody out there familiar with singers who should be using some of this material (and maybe a few who already are)?

“I Love Me”
I Do Something To Me
I Get a Kick Out Of Me
