Recommendation

Should you sing it?

I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers a clearly recurring hook, while the words have fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
