“YOU’RE SO VAIN” by CARLY SIMON
“You’re So Vain” is a song that was written by singer-songwriter, Carly Simon. It features a catchy melody and is known for its distinctive piano riff and smooth vocals.
The lyrics of the song are famously ambiguous and have been the subject of various interpretations. While Simon has never revealed the identity of the person the song is about, the speculation has added to the intrigue and popularity of the song. My personal theory is that it was written about actor Warren Beatty, after the two dated briefly in the early 1970s.
On this very day, January 10th 1973, it was the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, simply click on the provided YouTube link. From the album, “No Secrets”, here’s CARLY SIMON with “YOU’RE SO VAIN”…
