LOL. They may still be vain though.letstalkprints wrote:Don't know if this is a pet peeve but it bugs me. The Carly Simon song "You're So Vain". If you're not familiar with the song she sings "you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you". Well, whoever she is singing the song about is not vain because the song freaking is about them. Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.
Pet Peeves- Vent Here! Let me feel your pain.

That Carly hadn't said who the song was about for the longest time (it's Warren Beatty), means that anybody who knows Carly Simon may very well have thought she in fact wrote it about them. So, it could have not be about one person, but instead, many.

Chorus is general, verses are specific.
I'm your huckleberry. That's just my game.
Reznor used the line (guess he was paying homage?) in his "Starfuckers, Inc." song from The Fragile (aka the best album of all time...), which was undoubtedly about Marilyn Manson. I like it precisely because of that intentional (unavoidable) accusation. It's sort of the point.
All our pain
How did we ever get by without you?
You're so vain
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
So it goes...
That has bugged the ever-loving fudge out of me since the 70's. It's Warren Beatty, by the way; and the song is, abso drymounting lutely, about him.letstalkprints wrote:Don't know if this is a pet peeve but it bugs me. The Carly Simon song "You're So Vain".

I like the guy quite a lot, but he's not talked about anymore, which is sad.
