Carly Simon - You're So Vain

[dermotish]

Best joke.... forget him... sure he was not worth all the pain...xxxx

[tryby12]

who this drunk?

[grasscutter01]

Mick Jagger singsback up on this, so I doubt it's about him

[UBT425]

TURD! Looks more like a Bag Of Shit!!!!

[tayloras08]

Lmfao I have a feeling that's someone's ex. Kudos.

[MsGabberz]

I try singing and then i see the turd guy in the video, and then i keep laughing..

[newberry58]

what the hell is up with the face .. he looks special ..

[hornetcorsairbogey]

@newberry58 it's Jon from Jon and Kate plus eight,I think,ROFLMFAO

[fishandfestival]

I know who this song is about, but, out of respect for Carly, I won't say.

[Imjustme778]

@fishandfestival Carly already said who the song was about

[brian6078]

@Imjustme778 She never said who the song was about.Some news person on the internet said she finally gave it up;but she never shows the actual video of Carly actually admitting this.Also people think just because Mick Jagger sung back -ups for this song,that the song could not be about him.Back then Mick always wore a scarf.I think the song is about Mick Jagger.

[Imjustme778]

@brian6078 It's my understanding she revealed the answer on her album Never Been Gone.She said there's a little whisper and it's the answer. She went on to say it was during the song You're So Vain. Playing the song backwards she says David twice, At the time I wrote the post I thought it was about David Geffen, Although When Carly was asked she said it wasn"t about David Geffen but told CNNRadio it was about a David...So I guess you're right, we still don't really know. ( Just what I read )

[brian6078]

@Imjustme778 I have the L.P. Never Been Gone;so I am going to listen a little better.I read it many time too;but then got thinking about it and realized I never heard Carly say this?

[TOMMYTOMA4]

CARLY SIMON／You're So Vain

厚みの有る、最高のヴァージョン。ただ、映像はひどすぎる。見る­価値無し。

[JayneeRae]

But you made the song about him by posting the picture... kind of ruins the joke.

[shalinsirkar]

the song is fantastic! its a pity that this is the only clean version i could find! and that with a stupid pisshead video - ugly!!!

[nealadams70]

Shes so VAIN, too-

1 Megan Fox

2 Vivica Fox

3 kirsten dunst

4 Katy Perry

5 Beyonce

[heyman29323]

That is Mick Jagger singing backup. She never really said who the song was about but has been saying lately it is a composite of three men. And pretty much admits it is Warren Beatty (mostly), Mick Jagger and even David Geffen (? which is strange because I thought he was gay only) But it might be David Bowie. The Nova Scotia line is definitely Warren Beatty because his mom was from here. And underwolrd spys sounds like David Geffen. And wife of a close friend has to be Mick jagger, (or Warren)

[tyme4mike]

@heyman29323 Don't forget James Taylor who used to take a jet to see the eclipses as well as gambling on the ponies. Either Warren Beatty or JT or a combination of both.

[heyman29323]

@tyme4mike Yeah, good point. Maybe so, but I hope not. Weren't they a real couple after the song for a long time in the 70s and the 80s living out on Martha's Vineyard. I remember reading about them in Bob Woodward's Wired book and got the impression they were a cool couple together - troubled because of his heroin addiction - but they seemed cool..

[zone024com]

CARLY SIMON I LOVED THIS SONG SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT GREAT ARTIST CARLY SIMON see some other great singer just back after 9 years BOO marcellebeavers put tht in search shes back triadsterrecords com click country at top

[megustaverlas]

The dude's face pissed the hell outta me. Still LTIUMS (laughing till it upsets my stomach)

[MercyBanisher]

whos this fuck face in the video

[moniquesinging]

HEY SO GAY LOVE THE SONG BUT GAY PIC.

[scottalicious1]

Mick Jagger sings backup vocals a little into the song..no mystery. Not sung about him. He just sung vocals in it.

[Glorious80s]

I like the song but whats with the blurry eyed geezer. Watching it is making me feel worse than that guy looks. Vomit bag...

[Svellia]

who is the pissed pillock with the ugly gob, nearly spoils a good tune.

[PinkLederhosen]

She told Michael Eisner exactly who it was about. The video is on YouTube. It's called: "Carly Simon talks about "You're So Vain" " and it's from CNBCOnTheMoney.

[PinkLederhosen]

I get it. He's so vain. Bad joke.

[aclassicinthemaking]

@PinkLederhosen 98.000 people watched the bad joke

[Nfirstmom]

@aclassicinthemaking Dude .... U gotta know U blew it on the video right? The song is an old time

favorite of mine and I sing along with it where ever I am. When I come here to listen as I so often

do I literally have to scroll up so I can't see this jerk-off. What were U thinkiing when U thought

this would be a cool idea? Seriously? I'm really interested.

[aclassicinthemaking]

@PinkLederhosen 175 000



[mstrick1004]

What were you thinking? I don't get it!

[shakerazz46]

ihad hear don a tv show years ago that she wa stalking about mick jagger and she wrote this song about him

[ROCKANDROLLDJ79]

@shakerazz46

I DOUBT IT WAS MICK HE DID UNCREDITED BACK UP VOCALS ON THIS SONG.

[woodus89]

wicked tune

[christophkoenig]

I wui ja neambs zno dreen, owa de Carly hod se ganz schee draad

Hoch deutsch: Frau Simon sah früher anders aus.

LMAA ist dass ein geiles Lied !!! Absoluter Hammer!!!

[BiggestLilyAllenfan]

this sounds weird after listening to the big pink and lily sing it

[so16183]

Carly Simon has revealed whop this song is about! i forgot the name but she has and it was a man she loved and didn't really care about her. What a loser!! I love Carly Simon!!!!♥

[jmpetvideo]

RFK

[9sshty6]

actually this song is in reference to Mick Jagger........and written for him

[patrickqin]

9sshty6 - It's common knowledge that Carly Simon has never revealed who the song is about and never will.

[cottencandykitten]

@patrickqin a a a she has told some people but shes said it was a combonation of people....

[chriswedin]

I thought it was about James Taylor.

[maxyboy0]

gay and gay

[mark871162]

david geffen !

[mark871162]

she was singing this about DAVID GEFFEN her manager at the time - EVERYONE knows that now .

[pinkbeatlesfloyd]

HAHAHAHA!!!

Why you decided to add the guy with down syndrome I cannot even begin to guess, but it is hilarious!

[naapa]

Who the fuck is that guy? Such a douche for ruining what could have been a great video!

[bruho5]

LOL! I LOVE YOU! Dick Cheney is Dog People. He is going to He Double Hockey Sticks. K!

[hopkins4545]

She should make some shit up and say it's about Dick Cheney

[bruho5]

TY! I found a decent version. She still is no Stevie Nicks. K! However Loves it. Tank U !

[kingcon13]

@bruho5 : Right on. Carly is no Stevie Nicks. Not even close. Carly Simon is so far up & above Nicks (in every way). Tthere is no fair comparison between the two.

No disrespect towards Ms. Nicks what-so-ever, she is wonderful... talented & beautiful. But Carly Simon.... oh, Carly... the Supernova of all singer/songwriters... all others appear dim in your presence.

[brian6078]

Well she did admit the song was not about Warren Beatty;but Mick often wore a scarf in concert???Maybe-who knows??

[Hydron27]

Im starting to think the song is about her not anyone else.

[Erekshunmon]

The song is an amalgamation of the men she has encountered in her life from what I hear.

[KenBantol]

yahoo!

[raisedongerry]

it does not matter who the song is about carly simon rocks ,always has and always will!!!!!

[OleCoward]

David Rockefeller.

[draygad]

The subject of this song being about David Geffen is pure speculation. She hasn't revealed who the song is about. Until she does, anything else is nothing but rumor.

[xlilxnicolexgx]

its about david

[guarddog22]

Geffen is gay, though, so why would he be with "the wife of a close friend" ??

[dolokpurba]

she said he was the combination of three men. so i guess the first verse is warren, the second is david geffen, and the last verse is about james taylor.

but of course the main theme is about david geffen!!! "clouds in my coffee" refers to joni mitchell. hello!?

[GrissomLovesSara]

i still think it's beatty. robert wagner should have taken him out when he wanted to

[robreyreynolds]

David Geffin

[ludwig12344321]

Dude looks like he's taking a dump

[KingJeffrey1st]

I know WTF is that about! I'm laughing so freaking hard right now, how embarassing for that dude

[xxkasssyxx]

In the grand sceme of things, does anyone even care who it was?

[dazza2610]

obvs otherwise noone would question if would they haha

[fidelityeastpub]

Geffen...a fag. I would have preferred Jagger or Taylor. What the fuck was she thinking?

[uh04]

She resented Geffen who was head of Elektra back in the day who Simon felt put more effort into promoting her rival Joni Mitchell than her.

[felinheliman]

The secrets out!

Today in the Mail UK, Carly admits it's David Geffen, her record producer.

Who would have thought?

[JBClv80s90s2mch]

Ha!ha!ha! I could almost see his booger then & I agreed that's quite annoying!!!

[trumph650]

it was me x

[VanGoghsEar1890]

And Jagger wouldn't accept any credits. Just a favor...

[elboertjie]

Quality audio upload. Thank you.

[jkllad]

Mick Jagger performed backing vocals on this track. You can really hear him in the chorus- should have been done as a duet. So good!

[GX2Photography]

Great song but this turd burglar's face is annoying as hell.

[AudyPudy]

I totally agree!

[bryboe60]

@GX2Photography LMAO!!

[LyricLover420]

There's very obvious clues its Warren...look it up...but i think it was about the essense of that type of man, a "superstar"...mick, warren, james taylor...i think it was to mess with all their heads and make a point really.

[TheRjmontes]

mozzarina..i actually thought that too..lol

[WHGrabenhofer61]

ITS THE BEST

[Mozzarina]

I actually thought this song was about me.  Has everyone else said that yet?

[truthero]

just what I was thinking. I know folks might sometimes like to take a tune and attach meaning from it to their own life or situation, but honestly what could THIS GUY ever be vain about? maybe his camaro?

[39tommyboy]

i love that movie with brittany muphy in it. little black book?? she did a great job actin and singing in it. sad to lose another actor so young. take care and godbless. oh and great song. the song is about young charles manson. he was so vain back then for leaving her for all the other women at the ranch he had. lol just joking. roflmao. boy if im guessing i get some mail over that comment? lol oh well at least its mail. lol godbless.

[Seishinbunretsusho]

Anyone else think the intro is really unnerving to hear at 3 in the morning?

[eneriadi05]

why would this guy be vain? he's not even attractive!

[MrChasingthedragon]

ah haha yes i agree he looks slow lol

[NeilFraudstrong]

I don't get why she has continued to step around the question of who the song is about. No one cares anymore.  I mean, it's a really clever marketing ploy I guess, but I mean it's about Warren Beatty, come on. He even said, "Thanks for the song" to her. But I think she said it was a composite of three people.

[daniellepikabe]

KLAAAAAAAAAAAAMMOELLA SVIIIIN :D

[jmpetvideo]

RFK

[relvaccaro]

this vid is picking on someone. im guessing this guys whose nose i just became acquaintances with.

[beanxxxx]

i hear mick in the backround

[mitchdjay]

This song is about Me!!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

Mick Jagger: backing vocals!!!

[betwes]

God, I always thought the song was about Warren Beatty....

[onessimus]

lol, I'm surprised so many people are hating on this post, I thought it was hilarious. I mean, I'm not going to watch the whole video, but what a passive aggressive way of dealing with your problems! I am totally cool with this petty post, aclassicinthemaking! I wanted a music video, but this made me lol!

[RamonaFromPomona]

I had curdled milk in my coffee this morning....

[madrereus16]

are ypou trying to hypnotize me? >.>

[LukeSater]

lol true that is ridiculous but it is one of the best quality versions out there. also, listen closely; that's totally mick jagger on background vocals

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

yes it is

[FXRSSP1]

Für solche Fälle, gibt es psychologischen Beistand.

[Coderutherford123]

Are you mentally challenged or just plane stupid nobody wants to see your ugly mug

[TheHumanApple]

It's just that he's so vein...

[Xenoris]

@TheHumanApple He transports blood well..

[Coderutherford123]

Get a new hobbie instead of drinking you commie

[KaizerHiwatari]

As lovely as your nose is, I believe I'll try to find the official video.

[balazsaboo]

yeah, what the hell. i thought this was a music video. turns out i'm guilty of stalking by way of. shame on you poster.

ps

heart break sucks. get used to it.

[xetlive]

Disgruntled Ex Post.

[TheMilanese1]

who the scopata is mr ugly ? il ritardo.

[canggele]

ugly face

[scubaguy30]

Thanks for the upload, questionable video though. If I was gay I would love it for sure.

[mz3mz3]

ROFL

[HoustonPublisher]

HA HA HA! I needed a good laugh and I got one too. Jerry Springer's guest best right here. I'd bet Carly Simon would suddenly stop singing and run like hell is she knew about him. What do you think? A new Carly song, You're so fast I think your feet took off without you.

[nd03ltz]

quality song, shit video

[naapa]

haha omg, that guy in the video totally think's this song is about him! roflmao

[merlin17784]

i think the guy in your video probably does think this song is about him, the 4 minutes of his face kinda gives that away. :)

[aclassicinthemaking]

karma

[HardBodyNyC]

God hates sweden

[MikesMusic123]

check my site out for how to play this on piano

[WizardAser]

Good song but what the hell is up with the video. That might be one of the worst videos ever?

[xshanriex]

How To Loose A Guy In 10 Days. lol

[Gio1c]

inghilla's so vain

[wackerwedge]

Great song, but the lyrics don't make sense! "You probably think this song is about you". Emmm... it is! Isn't it...?

[budnboston]

No its about her recovery from losing him

[AcousticUplift]

The lyrics are some of the most intelligent in pop! The point is she doesn't specifically name any one person in the song but the individual (s) who it concerns would probably think it was about them even if it wasn't because they are so self-involved. Elementary, Watson.

[budnboston]

thanx for playing the whole original , thought i d never find it

[drivinailsinmycoffin]

SINUS HEADACHE? i GIVE UP...

[lordmaldad]

The picture looks like Matt parkman from Heroes.

[Gresaaa]

whats with the photo

[zbd21]

Carly said it was about Warren Beatty, the actor and playboy in Hollywood for several years.

[heikidesu]

The song is about George Hamilton, the actor. There's a piece about him in the 14 Sept New Yorker pg 42, though it doesn't mention this connection. He had many, reportedly.

[cgjamesg]

Listen carefully, 'tis Mick Jagger

[budnboston]

Wow , yeah so clear in 3:37-3:42

[fredrude]

This song was supposed to be about a handsome fellow. Why is there spastic being zoomed in and out? Fucking ruined the song.

[aclassicinthemaking]

its supposed to be a joke

[Enigma090892]

hahahahahhahaha.

[cristaliee]

MICK JAGGER HACE LOS CORITOS, GENIAL

[itsthefantastics]

I honestly don't think its about anyone in particular, I believe it's more of a collective thought towards men in her life. Does it really matter who it's about?

[antjackson305]

it was someone in particular shes said it.

[emeraldhills69]

it was james taylor dipshit

[brian6078]

I've heard most comments about who she had in mind when she wrote this song;most believe it was Warren Beatty.Some have even claim she admitted it was Beatty;but from what I know for sure she has never given up who?

[mushroomhead777]

on Janet Jackson's song Son Of A Gun - 2001

Carly sings:

"The apricot scarf was worn by Nick....there's nothing in the words that refer to Mick"

Does anyone know if she ever dated a man named Nick? That's probably who "You're So Vain" is about. Also the lyrics say "you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun" Warren Beatty's mother is from Nova Scotia so maybe it's partly about him too.

[brian6078]

She said it is not Warren Beatty,click on aclassicinthemakings,where it says more info,the words to that interview are there.Pure Oxygen then asks her Maybe it's Hogo,Carly replies "Who Knows".tihi

[brian6078]

When I think about it;Mick Jagger Did wear a scarf!and I believe it was Apricot!

[MORCOPOLO0817]

she probably just picked Apricot because she needed a word that rimed.
