'You're so ? I bet you think this song is about you!'

You need another very and half a very good! - L(left) is your superfluous letter

Thanks ..... penny has dropped now ! Thanks ;o)

Just for my own peace of mind, can someone explain to me the need to use 14ac in the phrases? I found 16 solutions which to my mind adequately cover all the phrases, eight of which contain 20ac and 4 which have 19d.
Although I have filled the grid, I do confess I did not understand the clue for 14ac, and also I cannot see what the first word constructed using the missing letters is.

14a In the chair = Paying
Lecturer = L

Playing = On

Clevertask - the word is "egocentric"

Ixion-- reference to the words relevant to the theme, the instructions state "these letters in clue order" or am I missing something here??

Oak

The first word starts at 4A and continues through the across clues and into the down clues finishing at 6D

Hope this helps

thanks Ixion, I was thinking numerical progression

Can someone explain 31a please?
