An Exercise in Narcissism

I was sitting around today waiting for a phone call that never came. I've been expecting to hear back about a job since last week, and starting to lose hope. So, as I contemplate this reality, I begin to get a little droopy. So, my optimistic side comes out of hiding and I decide to make a list of all the songs I know that were written just for me. You guys have had folks write songs about you before, right? You hear the song, and go, "Gee, that song is SOOOOO about me!!" Well, below is a short list of those songs about me. Don't try to tell me that some of those lyrics were written before I was a sparkle in my daddy's eye. That does not matter. They are about me. So there.

Always a Woman (Billy Joel)
Short Skirt, Long Jacket (Cake)
She's Got a Way (Billy Joel)
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (The Police)
Something in the Way She Moves (James Taylor)
Mysterious Ways (U2)
Secret Smile (SemiSonic)
Witchy Woman (Eagles)
Simply Irresistible (Robert Palmer)
Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison)


I am sure there are more. Feel free to post which songs you think were written for me. Or, since I am feeling more benevolent than at the beginning of this post, share with us the songs that were written for YOU.

Eric Russell, you cannot claim, "Disco Duck" or "Desperado" for yourself. Sorry. ;)~
