I’m just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off me.
I’d be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold me so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive.
I’m just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off of me.
I like to play a little game called “Songs For Egoists.” The rules of the game are as follows: take a popular song, change the title and chorus to the first person, then sing a few bars (some players have observed how beverages can enhance the pleasure of this game). Cheesy songs are improved immensely — “I Light Up My Life,” ”Can’t Help Falling In Love With Me,” and my personal favorite above, Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of Me.”
We’ve all Googled ourselves, checking out the clout of our personal graphs and those of our namesakes. I even registered with Google Alerts to monitor Lloyd-O’s web activities and see if anyone mentions my name. Setting up Google Alerts is simple — see my friend Christopher’s blog post on getting started — and you can choose how often you’d like to receive email alerts (daily, weekly, monthly or even “as it happens”). Imagine my surprise when, after months of bubkis, the mother lode appeared in my inbox:

As my 5-year-old would say, “so much awesome!” Dig that great band name, VH1 Behind The Music-ready bio, logo that screams volume turned way up to 11, and influences ranging from Zeppelin to Paganini! You gotta admit, the violin does add a new dimension to a rock’n'roll sound. So much awesome, indeed.
From Zeppelin to Paganini
I love me, baby,
And if it’s quite alright,
I need me, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love me, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don’t bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found me, stay…
I’m not really sure how or why lead singer Michael Lloyd added “Scott” to the band name, but we mere mortals sometimes just don’t understand pure genius. I eagerly await the “Lloyd Does Floyd” tour (performing Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon), debut PHAZE I album in August and fan friendly swag. You can’t stop the impending Lloyd Scott invasion — you can only hope to contain it.
