Mouse Like Me, A by Ringo Starr – ***

First released: 1977

Ringo sang this song as a reflective ballad on the "Scouse the Mouse" soundtrack. In that context it works, somewhat. When he was looking for tunes a few months later for his "Bad Boy" album, Ringo reworked it a bit by replacing “mouse” with “man” and voila a new tune. The song suffers from the same fate as other Ringo ballads; it comes off as too sappy and smarmy to be listenable.
