Other Me, The by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1983

Ok, I actually like this tune. I remember reading in about 800 reviews how they hated the line “and I acted like a dustbin lid”. A friend of mine at the time commented that he should have sang “and I acted like a little kid”. For some reason, I get McCartney’s simile and never had a problem with the lyric. I always pictured one of those little trashcans with the foot pedal to open and close the lid, hence making McCartney’s actions in reference to the song treating his alter ego as being very open and shut. In other words, not very pleasant. I got it. Why don’t you? You can find this on "Pipes of Peace".
