you're so vain
heard youre so vain this morning on the way to work on chris evans breakfast show. havent heard it in ages but reminded me what an amazing tune it is. however, my question is this; has the fact that carly simon never really revealed who the song was about (but has allowed speculation to develop - eg, warren beaty) contributed to its allure/success?

Didn't she reveal recently it was about David Geffen, the record label boss?

there were whispers that it was david geffen but they were subsequently denied the following day. she has suggested that it was based on an amalgamation of 3-4 men. re the other comment, i'm sure its something most of us can relate to it at some point in our lives. in fact the listener on chris evans had requested it because it reminded him of a former partner Quote:

In the new version of the song she whispers the name 'David' on a backwards track.

Stupid thing is, in actual fact, the song WAS about whoever it "wasn't" about
