Who’s ‘So Vain’? Singer Carly Simon reveals one mystery man out of three
Who’s ‘So Vain’? Singer Carly Simon reveals one mystery man out of three http://str.sg/Zazq
…
The hit single, with the chorus “You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you,” reached the top of the charts in the United States, Canada, Australia and Ireland in 1972 and was Simon’s biggest hit.
…
NEW YORK (REUTERS) – Singer Carly Simon has revealed the mystery behind one of pop music’s enduring puzzles: the inspiration for her 1972 hit You’re So Vain.
Simon says the caustic song about a self-absorbed lover is actually based on a composite of three of the men in her life around that time, and one of them is actor Warren Beatty.
“I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren,” Simon told People magazine in an interview released on Wednesday pegged to her upcoming memoir, Boys In The Trees.
Simon, 70, says Beatty, the charismatic star of hit movies Bonnie And Clyde and Shampoo, is aware of his role in the song, although, she said, “Warren thinks the whole thing is about him!”
Simon, who had romances with singers Mick Jagger and Cat Stevens and actor Jack Nicholson as well as Beatty, is not naming other names, but in the past she has said the song was not about her then husband, singer-songwriter James Taylor.

Carly Simon Says ‘You’re So Vain’ Is About Warren Beatty – Well, Only the Second Verse: ‘He Thinks the Whole Thing Is About Him!’
11/18/2015 AT 08:00 AM EST
For 44 years, the subject of “You’re So Vain” has remained one of pop music’s most enduring mysteries.
But at long last, Carly Simon has solved the mystery – well, sort of.
The singer, 70, tells PEOPLE that the second verse of her famous song refers to none other than Warren Beatty.
“I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren,” she tells PEOPLE in an interview pegged to her much-anticipated memoir, Boys in the Trees, to be released later this month.
Does Beatty know about the seminal role he plays in the song? In keeping with its theme, “Warren thinks the whole thing is about him!” says Simon.

Carly Simon – You’re So Vain Lyrics
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically tipped below one eye
Your scarf, it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as
You watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner, andYou’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain,
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you?
Don’t you?
Well, you had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, you’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you?
Don’t you?
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse, naturally, won
Then you flew your learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend,
Wife of a close friend, and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, you’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you?
Don’t you?
