Camp NaNo starts in a few hours here, so I'm sneaking in a 100Things entry now before I get distracted with word count.
"You're Nothing Without Me", from the Broadway musical City Of Angels, as sung by Gregg Edelman and James Naughton.
Yes, I totally picked this song for today in honor of Camp NaNo starting.
City Of Angels focuses on a writer, Stine, who is in the process of writing a screenplay adapting his famous detective hero character, Stone, for the big screen. The show goes back and forth between the world of Stone and the film-noir universe he inhabits and the struggles Stine is having in Hollywood and in his personal life.
"You're Nothing Without Me" is the act 1 finale, and involves Stine and Stone confronting each other (look, it's a Broadway musical, suspend disbelief) over their resentment towards one another.
While most of the City Of Angels score is pretty unmemorable, "You're Nothing Without Me" is brilliant, not least of all because any writer of fiction who claims to have never had a similar argument with a character is probably lying to you. Lord knows I've had this fight ...

You're nothing without me
A no one who'd go undefined
You wouldn't exist
You'd never be missed
I tell you you're out of my mind
