Narcissists can’t unite; but if they could, their theme song might be “It Has to Be Me”, sung to the tune of “It Had to Be You”, by Isham Jones and Gus Kahn. Here are the updated lyrics and two versions of the original, sung by Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. Please sing along.
It Has to Be Me
It has to be me
It has to be me
I wandered around
and finally found
the somebody who
could make me be true
could make me not blue
and even be glad
not even be sad
not thinking of you
Some others I see
might never be me
might never be cross
or try to be boss
but they just won’t do
for nobody else gives me a thrill
with all my faults
I love me still
It has to be me
wonderful me
It has to be me.

I’m glad, BB. It’s so good to laugh out loud.
This has me laughing out loud, Monica. Sadly, t would seem, it’s the state of politics the world over (except, perhaps, for Scandinavia).
Thank you, Sandy. I keep singing the song – the original version. Question for you: Is our political life an echo of the personal? I fear we deserve what we are getting.
Loved it. And your premise is right on.
I agree, Ian, the original is great. Nothing better than Tony and Frank. Thanks for visiting and listening!
Well done Monica, still prefer the original though.
Great video clips you added.

Thank you, Intoon!
