For decades it"s been belted out in karaoke bars opposite the world, but nobody has ever been certain as to the theme at the back of Carly Simon"s You"re So Vain.
Certainly, the list of intensity suspects was long, with Simon"s ex-lovers together with Mick Jagger, Cat Stevens and Warren Beatty. Now the 70s thespian has since a flattering big spirit as to who it competence be on a new acoustic version of the song, that contains the noted line, "You"re so vain, you probably think this strain is about you". She told Uncut magazine: "The answer is on the new version of You"re So Vain. There"s a small wheeze – and it"s the answer to the puzzle." The thespian went on to endorse that the whispered name – that is available retrograde for combined difficulty – is "David".
Admittedly, "David" usually narrows things down so far and a raging guessing diversion has damaged out in the press. Commentators have referred to David Cassidy, David Crosby and David Bowie as intensity suitors. All fit happily in to the "David" difficulty although, if we"re being technical here, that equates to we can"t nonetheless order out former England goalkeeper David Seaman, either.
A raging guessing diversion has damaged out. The Daily Mail claims to have solved the poser by dogmatic that the strain is about strain noble David Geffen. Rather than an ex-boyfriend, the Mail suggests Simon was in a fury at Geffen"s preference to foster Joni Mitchell over her own work.
This ultimate explanation won"t greatfully Warren Beatty, who went along with the song"s sentiments by meditative it was, well, about him. As Simon has pronounced herself in the past: "[Warren] positively thought it was about him. He called me and said: "Thanks for the song.""
Now the poser is closer to being solved. But we still haven"t utterly arrived at the point where the song"s theme can spin around and say: "Well yeah, but it is about me!"
