My Ego, by Regurgitator (rock song, 2004)

[lb_lee]

“Last night right after the show
I had to let myself go
I got too needy wouldn't leave me
For one second alone

But I still sleep with myself
That's kinda complicated
I steal the blanket as well
That gets me so frustrated"

Blurb: A ridiculous farce of a song about having a terrible dysfunctional relationship with your own ego, breaking up, and continuing to have sex with it.

Why is it worth your time?: It's three and a half minutes of catchy comedic absurdity about someone making terrible life choices. It's funny, you can listen to it for free on bandcamp, I'd say it's worth your time.

Plural Tags: in-system romance (in the worst way)

Content Warnings: in case the band name Regurgitator didn't cue you, you might be offended by this song. Think of the sleaziest, scummiest way you could depict such a relationship, and you've about got it.

Accessibility Notes: The original version that I know from the Mish Mash! album is available for $1 AUD, but there are at least three versions of this song available on bandcamp, and you can buy them all in one go for $4 AUD. Mish Mash! is also available on CD and vinyl.

Totally unrelated to the cataloging, but this song is irrevocably wedded in my mind to my mental image of Edward Cullen as a personification of self-hate, which might be part of why I find it so enjoyable.
