  • ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG,BUT I HATE THAT TEMPO CHANGE.

  • super video super musik.

  • Is this song about her dad? When I first heard this song, I thought she was singing in a matter of fact way. Now, I think she is singing from a sarcastic viewpoint. Am I crazy?!

  • @ThomasRNMSNCNS I always thought it was about James Taylor

  • one of the greatest songs ever written feat backing vocals from Mick Jagger. Carly has done so many classics The Right Thing To Do, Attitude Dancing, Waterfall etc... but nothing tops this great video too

  • Damn what a HOT mouth!!

  • 8Tracks brought me.))

  • This video makes me laugh so hard =))

  • I hate where the song is edited at 1:11 always loved the song but NOT this video

  • Still sexy!!!

  • Carly is such a beautiful, attractive and sexy woman!

  • Love the original song, don't like this video - too busy, the guy dancing has no relevance (scraggly beard, no apricot scarf, etc.) . A bit too many park (Central Park in NYC ?) scenes, and the house scene is confusing...

  • Beautiful music of Carly Simon, my love !

  • BUT... INS'T THIS SONG ABOUT HIM?? i mean.... she is talking about him.. so it must be a song wrote to him. am i missing something about the english language here?

  • @CruzeiroTGF Not very familiar with the concept of 'irony' are you? =/

  • in this video she looks like Steven Tyler wtf!

  • Here is what I find the most amusing, 40 years later we are all still debate who song is about, and I think Carly enjoys the humor in that, so why tell and stop our crazy asses for speculating about a song clearly written about the best looking Beatle - Ringo Starr - just being absurd :)

  • this is a good song ,but the vid is fuckin stupid,it does not fit the song,this ugly mother fucker is so vain?i saw another vid of the same song of a guy going on a yaut i cant find it ,that one was good.

  • wow i miss the young white girls voice she has here and unlike brittany and beyonce she does not sound like shes got something big in her mouth

  • But the song is about him, isn't it?

  • so cooooooool

    

  • Excellent video. I've always liked Carly's music.

  • she looks terrible. I just don't understand why chicks get plastic surgery. They usually end up looking worse and Carly Simon is example 1A

  • my god she is still so gorgeous

  • *8 LoVe

  • Not worth $10,000 dollars. Carly is in great form though.

  • hey the vid is messed up in the middle! Otherwise Love it!

  • Amei muito bem produzido!!! eu Amooo a Carly Simon!!! éla é uma mulher maravilhosa...

  • That was awesome. Great Job.

  • I love this video! Gosh Carly is having fun! yay!

  • Blech two paws down.

  • Out of the conglomerate of songs produced every so often a gem comes to life. I first heard this song when I was 10 years old and I liked it from the star. I like the melody and the cadence; I also love the violins at the end of the arrangement.

  • Mick Jagger - Keith Richards Wrote this. You can Hear Mic singing Harmony.

  • @wwwTheBookbaggs No, she wrote this. If you are going to try to be smart about something like this, why don't you look it up? You just make yourself out to be an ass.

  • record boss/ record producer /big money investor David Geffen ?

  • This is one of the weirder music videos I've seen... This was the best one? It won 10,000 dollars? Really?

    

  • my uncle did a music video, he made it into the top ten.. he should have won.. o;

  • carly! carly! carly! no-one should have that talent

  • I like how she made this guy a secret

  • I used to think this song was about me... Until I took an arrow to the knee

  • This song is about Warren Beatty

  • @texaguy It is not totally about him, only partly about him, it is about different people.

  • mick jagger

  • If that's actually Carly, I'm amazed at how young she looks.

  • @foccha oh that's Carly no-one has a smile like she does-

  • I love this video and I love Carly

  • The song was about Mick Jagger

  • I like this vid, nicely done Brett

  • I grew up with this song...

    I am a hungry rock 'n' roll wulf...

    I have played in a hard rock band for over 20 years...I think this is one of the key moments in music history when a true GEM was birthed.

    Carly - u r a legend .....still....

  • you are amazing thank you for the music carly

  • I like pie.

  • This is a great video of one of my all time favorite songs. Love the whole thing, especially the beautiful and talented Carly Simon.

  • Good song, bad video

  • I wish people would upload the best studio original recording or remix, or at least say that it's not the real thing.

  • I love this video.. it's awesome. Just because the guy is just dancing around in a trench coat.

  • I love this video.. it's awesome. Just because the guy is just dancing around in a trench coat.

  • lol love the walk at the end :)

  • clever collaboration...ill give this the big yes.

  • A pure marketing invention that was sold to the public and bought by the public. Simon is a genious to keep this thing going all of these years. It was probably some partial truths about various jackasses in her life ! A great song and a great voice, not to mention a great looking woman. Kudos to her handlers that have kept this thing going.

  • this music video sucks big time, but the music rocks

  • well well !!!

    The truth could be hidden in this video!!!

    Have a look at Carly give us he best MICK JAGGER impersonations at 2:10 and 3:51 of this video.

  • Not Bad!!

  • Well Well !!!

    The secret could be hidden in this video, is it MICK JAGGER???

    Why you say!!

    Have a look at Carly give us her best Mick Jagger impersonation at 3:51 in this little viewed but award winning Video.

  • I still like the original....but This production is very cool....

  • What? Am I hearing a diss song that is not Hip Hop?!

  • This "won"? I'd hate to see how bad the other entries were. And I thought those 80s hair metal videos were bad. I suppose the 1500+ likes on this "video" was the host of the website that posted this.

  • this version is to slow

  • LOL....

  • Janet Jackson done a cover of this song.Son of a gun:X

  • LOVE IT

  • mik jagger voice in this song ? I like a lot song and Carly also....

  • Hey what’s Going On?

    MUSIC is not a hobby or a game to me and I want to be able to achieve my greatest dream, triumph with it.

    I know theres like A MILLION of those in this world

    But I know if I keeping work hard I can achieve my dream (that's all I want for my life)

    In the future, I'll make music because I want to show people my emotions through music that I love.

    I’d love if you just give me a chance and stop by my channel. Also if you could thumbs up this comment so other people can see it

  • How to lose a guy in 10 days brought me here :)

  • @BlairA1995 Favorite movie:)

  • @BlairA1995 OMG MEE TOO ....Im one of those weirdos it takes a few years to see a once popular movie.....made me fall in love with this song again!

  • so the vain guy was joaquin phoenix? WTF!

  • @arnold84500 Who would've thought it was about her rabbi.☸

  • @arnold84500 lmfao

  • What the hell.. This video is not the official vid. It says in the info that it is just something entered into a contest to create the "first and only concept video to accompany her iconic hit."

    Nice fail. This was so ghey, I bet you think this comment it about you.

  • he's so...

  • Goddam she's sexy.

  • Is that really her or an imposter?

    almost looks like her.

  • 1,2,3,4,5

  • My age does not change that this video is sh*t.I can't believe Carly would make a video like this! The song is awesome! tommerrigan how old are you old fart. 80?

  • The dude is the spitting image of Joaquin Phoenix

  • What a terrific accomplishment! This song has given so many folks pleasure--and much to think about--for quite sometime!

    Thanks so much, Carly...

  • I LOVE How to lose a guy in 10 days!!!!

  • "EYE" love this take! LOOK how PRETTY "EYE" AM. and this song is about "ME."

    "EYE" am so Pretty, and this song is about "ME!"  (LAUGHTER) "EYE" 5

  • love her.

  • Official video????????????

    

  • Carly is vain, or beautiful... Love Carly Simon forever. I'm so Vain!!! kkk

  • Official video! WTF! This shit is wak ! Does not do this song justice! The song is Great!

  • @TheGreg131313 'wak?' How old are you kid, six?

  • who is the vain guy? james taylor? warren beatty? or otherwise?

  • @ngjoe77 Warren Beatty!  xD

  • What I would give to see her and Jagger do this song together some 40 years later. That would me magical. Its her secret as to who its about and she'll more than likely take it to her grave. Its one of rock and rolls most enduring mysteries and if she has not said who it is 40 years later she never will

  • +++ Will always love Carly. We hope that she remains in good health, and we shall remember her, for the love she has brought into this world.

  • LOVE THIS!!!!! 

  • @misspetedoherty

    From and educated point of view, “EYE” was told, probably before you were even born, that she was dating an African American man, and people mocked me because “EYE” said if it did not work out then she will be mine; my statement, many times came close to violence in those days. I have won battles, and conquered wars, and misspetedoherty, “EYE” truly feel sorry for you. “EYE” 5

  • I love you Carley!

  • Love the remix...love Carly!

    -Steve

  • You so slave, you probably dont think at all..

  • You probably think this song is about you, don't you.

  • singing at the top of my lungs playing the 8 track over and over. Oh, how CS brings back wonderful memories for me at a more innocent time in life. always brilliant.

  • It was doing really well until 1:47 then it just becomes him dancing the whole time. Seems like he got lazy coming up with more. Too bad,because it was really starting to look good!

  • not how i pictured the music video... good enough though...

  • One thing that is certain is that this song is not about me

  • One thing that is certain about this song is that it's not about me.

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTULLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVERIF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NO,YOU`VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MIN. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS REALLY WORKS

  • this is awful, what's with the pitch drop and editing - just stick to the original. i could have made a much better video. this doesn't fit the song

  • whats with the horrible use of the green screen

  • I swear if you listen really close you can hear Mick in the background.... 2:05

  • @DepecheFan1 it is him

  • @DepecheFan1 it is mick for sure

  • @DepecheFan1 Mick IS in the background. No doubt about it - in the last half of the song. He wrote "Memory Motel" about Carly - his response to this song, evidently. Youtube search "Memory Motel Rolling Stongs" and the first one shows all sorts of pictures of Carly.

     Remember the question whether this song is about Jagger or Warren Beatty? Well, has Beatty even been sighted "gavotte"ing? Oh - excuse me, he's not Mick any more - Sir Michael Jagger, I should say.

  • maybe it is about nobody, just lyrics! Or perhaps partial truths about some jackass !

  • Could the mystery dude be any more nerdy looking? A cooler suave looking guy would have been much better casting....just sayin'

  • THIS TAKE IS FUN, AND AGAIN, SHE IS SO DELICIOUS! HOWEVER THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ISN’T IT? “EYE” 5

  • MY GOD ALMIGHTY! THIS WOMEN IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL! “EYE” 5

  • she looks funny in this video. It don't highlight her beauty -she kinda look scary but i love the song

  • @dingoDogMan not showing his face is the point, She's never fully said who the song is about.

  • @joeyballz110 yea but you'd think someone who is "vain" would be someone showing off themselves. i dunno i can see what youre getting at but i just don't think a bearded guy with a top hat was the right guy for the video

  • For being 60+,not bad.

  • cool vid

  • but I don't. understand. the. connection. of. the dude. in the suit. to the song.

  • @ KUTVgroucho, thanks. I hadn't heard that, but it makes a lot of sense. And yes, it does seem to fit Warren and Mick better than the others, but the line "You flew your live-in up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun" rings true more for a Rolling Stone than a movie star.

    Either way, i like the audio of this version a lot better than the original.

  • wtf - I love this song but this video look like its on some kinda drugs #SuperDUMB !

  • This needs sum silly, simple 60s/70s/80s style animation, like where she sez flew ur leer jet...

    WHY isn't Carly the pie-maker ??? DUH ! ...& WHERE's MICK  when he starts to sing ?!? I thikn he'd do an old friend this small favor ! wtf

  • Comment removed

  • @ Peaceiscontagious - Mick should steal the pie ! : ) ...not Brett : (

  • I heard that this song was about Mick Jagger. The fact that he sings on it lends credence to that theory.

  • @MattRosemier1 Carly Simon had in the past hinted that the song dealt with a composite of lovers at the time, which would include Cat Stevens, Warren Beatty, as well as Jagger. As for the last two, the first stanza of the song describes them perfectly.

  • I love

     this

  • I love this song. The sound is excellent but I don't care much for the video. It's too jumpy, wishy washy, and too much going back and forth with scenes.

  • I love this video!!!

  • i thought carly simon was black lol

  • @dbluvsuANDred haha. I thought Van Morrison was black for about 10 years

  • @dbluvsuANDred LOL ! i tought for the longest time that she was always dressed like AbbA .See what I mean ?.The glterring one piece jumpsuit in silver and pale bleu triangle around the neck and the sleeves and those tiny bandhead ! but not over the head, no, not stylish enough, over the forehead, please ! With a long leather thread hanging from it with a orange feather down below her shoulder, moving along with the song !.Don't smile i It's true ! I swear ! she used to scare me so much I hated

  • Hey ! I went to have a look on wikipedia... Guess what ?... You were also right ! She's Jewish, african (yes yes, you believe it ?), German (that the Abba part... not far away...) and... French ! (Why ???? Not as French as me, Miss Carly !!!;... So who's fucking her now ?.... Come on, more SHITTY GOSSIP, PLEASE !!!!!.... hOPE i didn't bother you too much my poor dvluvuANDred, my God ! What a name ! Are you from a African tribe yourself ?

  • @misspetedoherty omg wtf all these messages. and noooo dbluvsuANDred is just a screen name. db are my initials. "luvs u and red" is just a short way of say "loves you and the color red."

  • 74 people had their worlds shattered when they thought it was about them.

  • hey wait.... is this central patk???

  • I am so obsessed with this song now

  • i like your vedeos and johana dasente like your vedos

  • This song is and will allways be on top !!!!

  • My ex's anthem...

  • I think this song is about me, but if I'm so vain that I think this song about me, does it mean that it isn't about me?

  • She's so cool!

  • looks like she does a little Jagger step in this video.

  • i like carly shes always smiling

  • @jgates514

    Ya she is. Love it !

  • bearded guy freaked me out

  • Comment removed

  • dang carly still looks good for 65 :-)

  • I love the shots of Democritus thinking :)

  • LOL Trollface at 0:18

  • @mrpepperkitty Vanity is thinking they can get away with it. Boehner's office will not ever answer anything from us. He never responds to people. He once claimed he has never heard anyone contact him that disagreed with what he does, and that's probably true, because as soon as it's realized someone doesn't like him, they hit delete. Vanity is selfish and very petty. I picked this song because of the line "you gave away the things you love and one of them was me." That's America talking.

  • @sandralynnsparks Yeah, I know, hard to get sarcasm across with writing, but this pretty much sums it up more seriously. :(

  • Dedicated to the GOP House and Senate...

  • I thought this song was about me.

  • Now THIS guy can pull off a beard!

  • No you all wrong it's Mick Jagger

  • I wouldn't walk onto a yacht any differently than I would walk into a party. Stay away from women like this, they watch you very closely and criticize every move you make.

  • @doabaudio agreed mate, gotta get an unobservant trick

  • I dedicate this song to my little sister...who is probably checking herself out in the mirror as we speak ;)

  • no entiendo el video

  • like if your here 4 how to lose a guy in 10 days!!! :)

  • Mick Jagger on background voc

  • why does she say 'apricot' like that :|

  • @iheartyouandyou because it's fun as hell.

  • Lol @ the pie theft

  • It's Warren Beatty in the movie McCabe and Mrs Miller .He was the object of the video. It was rumored at the time the song was about him.

  • I didn't know Jaoquim Phoenix was the subject.

  • She looks like a hobo..

  • Absolutely love this song...it brings back all those memories from years back...this man is sooo like my ex...lol...
