Great song! A lot of people have speculated that "You're So Vain" is about the actor Warren Beatty. Carly Simon had so many great hits in the 70's such as "Haven't Got Time For The Pain", "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", "Attitude Dancing", "Anticipation", "Coming Around Again", "Nobody Does It Better" (from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me), "Jesse", "Legend In Your Own Time", "The Right Thing To Do", "(We Have) No Secrets" etc. She was married at one time to James Taylor & they did a few duets together "Mockingbird" & "Devoted To You".

I bet you would love James Taylor and his former wife Carly Simon sing " Mockingbird ". They are still friends.

Some think it's Mick Jagger but, nope, he's singing back-up vocals. It's about Warren Beatty

Love that song! Of course, I will be 76 in a week plus, so it was from my era.

Carly Simon is amazing!

“You gave away the things you loved & one of them was me” Saddest line ever written.

What a cleverly written song!

Sarah is one of the most beautiful people on the planet

Carly Simon is the top 20 female vocalists in the world

Absolutely Carly she is absolutely a great singer wow you brought back a lot of memories Thank you

Great reaction, Sarah! ❤ This song just blew people away when they first heard it. The general consensus has been that it was about Hollywood actor Warren Beatty. That line about him being predictably and commonly found with "the wife of a close friend" is just searing commentary. You will enjoy taking a deep dive with Ms. Simon. 👍😊

Defo Warren Beatty. And he so deserved it...

“Clouds in my coffee”. Brilliant lyrics.

In her autobiography she said it was about 3 different people, but the only one she cofirmeed was Warren Beatty

when Carly Simon finally admitted who this song was about......... she told me not to tell anyone.

Just before she walked over to the piano and sat down to sing this song she was playing the guitar singing anticipation you need to react to Carly Simon singing anticipation in the same concert

If you listen to the studio version you'll hear Mick Jagger singing harmonies.

Your discussion of this classic song was wonderfully descriptive. I’m so glad you now know this one too. Difficult to forget once you have heard it!

It's okay to love yourself but you should NEVER overlook others ❤

I just love your reactions! So real and uninhibited!! I can't WAIT to see your reaction to Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water, the original studio version. I just KNOW you will LOVE it!!

Sarah, I absolutely love it when you sing along!! Great song and great reaction.

Thank You Sarah! Carly Simon suffered from performance anxiety, she stopped performing live because of it. The video that you watched was from her first concert after many years, it was shot in the town that she lived in, the audience was mostly close friends and locals. Another great song from that concert is COMING AROUND AGAIN, which she mixed with the children's song ITSY BITSY SPIDER and had local children help her perform it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNxkntWc38rKkpc.html (you'll love it, I promise!)

UF, que recuerdos de esta cancion, a ya en los 70

Beautiful reaction.

They shot this video where Carly lives in Martha's Vineyard, an island just south of Cape Cod, MA.

I just think your enjoyment a way you hear these songs - fun to watch you enjoy - u gotta way lovely gal - more power to you - and be sure that nothing now or in the future will “Work”. without Jehovah ….. Jah….👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️

The same concert features a great version of her hit 007 Bond movie theme, Nobody Does It Better from The Spy Who loved Me.

I've been having to live with this song about me my whole life lol....

Carly Simon has always made it a thing to never reveal who this song is about, some say Mick Jagger, some say James Taylor, some say Warren Beatty

Warren Beatty 👍

Mick Jagger. It’s about the Rolling Stone.

Not likely the subject of this song, but Carly Simon did admit to having an interest in Cat Stevens at one time.

She has stated that 3 verses means 3 different guys. She has admitted that 2nd verse is about Warren Beatty but won't say who are the other two.

I saw something where she said it was about David Geffen. And someone paid like a million dollars to be told

Don't listen to it too much; you might find yourself singing it more often than is needed. It's a great song, one I grew up with. But it belongs more to my big sister's and brother's generation, than my own.

I used to think this song was about me.🤔

It's not about Warren Beattie she has said as much

I don't think it really matters who it is specifically about...most guys if they were really honest have probably had that thought at times that maybe they were being a bit too VAIN... but certainly not at this level!?

Hello

The songs about James Taylor

It was about an ex, James Taylor. Probably not the best reason to write music. Celebrities should never be idolized. I loved James Taylor's music, but I don't idolize them.

I like your site but this song was too overplayed. I'll pass.

Are you lady that came out against BLM- “I’m not oppress!”?

Swift still hasn't grown-up
