16 Suggested Song Titles For the Ill-Advised American Psycho Musical

AmericanPsycho225.jpgChristmas arrived early for fans of both Bret Easton Ellis and musicals this morning via the announcement that the author's 1991 novel American Psycho -- which was memorably adapted into a feature film starring Christian Bale -- is being transformed again, this time into musical form. In celebration of this news -- and in hopes that it avoids the same disastrous Broadway fate as Spiderman -- Movieline suggests a few song titles that composer Duncan Sheik ("Spring Awakening") will hopefully consider for the first draft, which is expected next year.

"Wall Street!"

"The Psycho Sleeps Tonight"

"Oh What a Beautiful Head Wound"

"Wouldn't It Be Loverly (If I Murdered Her)?"

"You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Dies In Front Of You"

"A Chloroform For You"

"Guys and F*cking Ugly B*tches"

"Homicidal Fantasies Come True"

"Do You Hear the People Scream"

"Defying Depravity"

"Another Slay"

"Beauty and the Ax Murderer"

"Getting To Stab You"

"Thrashing Queen"

"The Lady Is a Tramp-y Corpse"

"If I Were a Rich Man (Oh Wait, I Am)"
