I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself
"I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself" is a song by Elton John, released on his 1972 album ''Honky Château''. The song is a tongue-in-cheek parody of a moody teenager's thoughts about suicide.
==Musical structure==
The song maintains the New Orleans atmosphere from the opening track of ''Honky Chateau'', "Honky Cat," with a style that Elizabeth Rosenthal describes as "New Orleans-style jazz."〔 Rosenthal calls the song "an amusing ditty." Author Phillip Norman describes it as "a cheerful little thing," but Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls it "surprisingly cynical and nasty." Mary Anne Cassata calls it "a jumpy pop tune," like "Honky Cat," and an "ode to teenage lust." The book ''Songwriting for Dummies'' described the song as "a deceptively happy ditty" and an example where the lyrical content contrasts with the music.
It opens with an upbeat piano, with accompanying bass licks and fast-paced drumming, stirring up a situation image. The chorus continues this, before briefly turning into a slow-paced Doo-wop choir, accompanied by a smooth Acoustic guitar, singing the word "blues". After that, it returns to its main tempo. Later, a honky-tonk piano solo accompanied by tap dancing is present, with the song switching in and out of the slow-paced "blues" before fading out. "Legs" Larry Smith performed the tap dancing routine on the track.〔
