Egotistical guy?

"Don't Let It Go To Your Head"
by Fefe Dobson


So what if I came clean
And told you all you mean to me
So what if I meant every word I said
Baby don't let it go to your head
So what if I write your name
Cause you're always on my brain
In a heart, I paint it crimson red
Baby don't let it go to your head

Don't be getting any big ideas
Let me make it clear

[Chorus:]
Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head

So what if I want to kiss
From your toes up to your lips
It don't mean that you've had me yet
You're gonna be good, I bet

I'm the one whose in control here
Let me make it clear

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head

Ohhhhh
Don't let it go to your head
Ohhhhh

I had a porcelain doll
I held on to it so tightly
But when it broke, I swore
I'd never hold on to something that tightly again
Don't let it go to your head
Oh, no (oh, no)

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes (ohh)
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)
Don't let it go to your head (don't let it, don't let it)
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)


Google "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" Fefe Dobson to hear the song. Either a pining heroine of a male character who's full of himself...?

Ever heard of Black Star from 'Soul Eater'? He is full of himself.

I'd have to wonder if Tsubaki is into him the way the song suggests - she's more the protective (and punishing) older sister-figure. I don't think any character of consequence has a sex crush on him in the series. I was thinking more of Cowboy Andy from the Beebop episode when Faye seemingly realizes (to her chargrin) that she's momentarily attracted to him (she blushes and becomes flustered on the horse in the elevator, I think). But I haven't seen the ep in a while, and anyway it may be too short a sequence to cover a whole song.

I also put a letter wrong last post, putting an 'f' in place of an 'r'; it should have read: Either a pining heroine or a male character who's full of himself...? - But I think now it might need to be more specific than that, Black Star is too oblivious to whatever attractiveness he may have in that way to girls; he wants to be admired as an awesome assassin/reaper. This might be more a "Love Hina" or "Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple" type thing with the wimpy male lead in danger of getting a seriouly swelled head if they found the bombshell heroine who they crush on feels the same way (to the girl's everlasting shame). Or the gunhead episode of FLCL...actually the song title makes it rather obvious this could easily be another FLCL AMV...

Sorry if that one wasn't good enough but I do have another suggestion:
Luke Fon Fabre from the 'Tales of the Abyss' anime and I personally think this would be a great choice. He is full of himself just because some prophecy predicted he would be a hero and there are these women accompanying him who love him but have to cool him down regularly.

I didn't mean to be dismissive of your suggestion - I got carried away with my overanalysis. I'm curious about this 'Tales of the Abyss' anime and will check it out - hopefully, an AMV artist will find this song interesting enough to build an AMV around...

Ikouto and Amu or Tadase and Amu from Shugo Chara

Both of her love interest are very confident, but tadase is only egotistical when someone calls him "Prince" instead of "King". But the song matches Amu's relationship with Ikouto perfectly.

Listening to the song I realized this part -

I had a porcelain doll
I held on to it so tightly
But when it broke, I swore
I'd never hold on to something that tightly again
Don't let it go to your head
Oh, no (oh, no)

Sounds a lot like Major Kusanagi's childhood scene at the opening of GITS:SAC (2nd GIG I think)...just sayin'. I know some dislike direct word/image associations, but not everyone feels that way, I'll wager. :awesome:

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE if you want a hero who is COMPLETELY full of himself check out an anime called "LINE BARRELS OF IRON" a guy being full of himself is the whole theme of the anime its perfect
The belief that you are the protagonist in your own life is a very dependent way of thought. Downright parasitic. It brings with it the preposterous notion that you’re the only one that matters. Even though there are six billion people in the world. And you are only one of them. Even the greatest of them cannot escape that fact
