Everybody Loves Me Baby
« on: August 05, 2011, 08:21:18 PM »
I realize this old Don McLean song can be interpreted other ways, but it's very hard for me not to always hear the anthem of the narcissist in it.

Here's a youtube of him singing it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDhTm8-Ov3M

Below are the lyrics. Sound like anyone you know?

Fortune has me well at hand,
armies wait at my command,
my gold lies in a foreign land,
buried deep beneath the sand.

Angels guide my every tread,
my enemies are sick or dead,
but all the victories I've lead,
haven't brought you to my bed.

Chorus:

You see, every body loves me baby what's the matter with you?
Won't you tell me, what did I do to offend you?

The purist race I've bred for thee,
to live in my democracy,
and the highest human pedigree,
awaits your first born boy baby.

My face on every coin engraved,
the anarchists are all enslaved.
My own flag is forever waved,
by the grateful people I have saved.

(Chorus)

No land is beyond my claim,
when the land is seized in the peoples name,
by evil men who rob and maim.
If war is hell, I'm not to blame.

Why you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child,
I'm the second son of Mary mild,
and twice removed from Oscar Wilde,
but he didn't mind, why he just smiled.

(Chorus)

Now the ocean parts when I walk through,
the clouds dissolve, the sky turns blue,
I'm held in very great value,
by everyone I meet but you.

'Cause I've used my talents as I could,
I've done some bad, I've done some good,
I did a whole lot better than they thought I could,
so come on and treat me like you should.

(Chorus) Repeat and end.

I certainly saw my NS written in those lines.

I'd venture a guess to say that Don had personal experience of someone like this, since he so accurately captured the attitude, simply. My reaction was the old: "gag me with a spoon". I do know, I've probably thrown several drinks in the face of several such people who've said such things to me... and not felt an ounce of remorse or guilt later on. Much different than dealing with an N-parent.

Wow.

Actually thrown a drink in the face?

Like in old movies?

My oh my.

uh.... yeah... just like in the movies.  :shock:

I know I'm not the only one who's done this at one time or another, when face to face with a flaming N jerk! (I was much younger and flew off the handle much easier than now).

Did that too with a jerk back when I was younger.  He made the mistake of jerking my shirt out to look down my front while he forgot I was holding a cup of ICED soda in my hand.  He found out REAL QUICK what I thought of his stunt!

I think it there would ever be an N-convention, this would be their anthem  :D
'All rise for the N-anthem' but instead of staring at their countries' flags, they will adore themselves in pocket mirrors (that will be included in the registration pack!)  :D
