Notes:
Pretty solid day again, though the opening words are pretty much the same all day in the I songs so far.  I have no idea if I'll make it out of the songs that start with the word "I" tomorrow. 
I didn't realize I had three versions of "I've Got You Under My Skin," and I likely re-listened to Muddy Waters doing "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," but since it was one of Muddy's signature songs, I don't care.
Here are today's favorites:
  • "I'm So Glad" by Cream
  • "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" by Sting
  • "I'm So Tired" by The Beatles
  • "I'm Sorry" by Brenda Lee
  • "I'm Stepping Out" by John Lennon
  • "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John
  • "I'm Telling You Now" by Freddie & The Dreamers
  • "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" by Otis Redding
  • "I've Got a Feeling" by The Beatles
  • "I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart by Eric Clapton
  • "I've Got the World on a String" by Frank Sinatra
  • "(I've Had) The Time of My Live" by Bill Medley And Jennifer Warnes
  • "I've Just Seen a Face" by The Beatles
  • "I've Loved These Days" by Billy Joel
  • "I've Seen That Movie Too" by Elton John
  • "I (Who Have Nothing)" by Ben E. King

The's I's have it?  Indeed.
