I'd just like to share my personal opinion on this. (Take it for what its worth.) The words, "me, myself and I" are not wrong to use in our songs. If you look at the lyrics in the Psalms, these words are there. If you removed every Psalm with those words in it, you wouldn't have many left. (If any at all.) Check out PS23.

It would be as if I wrote a love song about my wife without mentioning myself, our interactions or who I am. The listener would have no idea of my personal relationship to the one I'm singing about and would miss the point.

Again, IMHO.
