Who is so vain Carly? Who?

She aint tellin'...

Rolling Stone Magazine - 1973

Rolling Stone: Some people think "You're So Vain" is about James.
Carly: No, it's definitely not about James, although James suspected that it might be about him because he's very vain. No, he isn't, but he had the unfortunate experience of taking a jet up to Nova Scotia after I’d written the song. He was saved by the fact that it wasn’t a Lear.
Rolling Stone: You mentioned the "contest" going on about who it's about. What would be the clearest statement you would want to make on who the song was about?
Carly: The contest is run by this man in Los Angeles named Winkler, and he had his listeners call in to cast their ballot as to who they thought the song was about. Kris Kristofferson is leading.
A lot of people think it's about Mick Jagger and that I have fooled him into actually singing on it, that I pulled that ruse. And some of the people think it's about James. But I can't possibly tell who it's about because it wouldn't be fair.

She told one person last year.

At a charity auction which one person won/bought the right to know, she told him (the winner) who it was about.
(He had to sign some confidentiality agreements beforehand- as expected)

Dick Ebersol, president of NBC Sports and a friend of Simon, was the highest bidder for a Martha's Vineyard Possible Dreams charity auction offering in which the prize was the revelation of the person that "You're So Vain" was about. After making the winning bid of $50,000, Ebersol was given a private performance of the song at Simon's home. After a lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and vodka on the rocks, Simon whispered the subject into his ear. A condition of that prize is that Ebersol would not reveal to anyone the actual subject. Later, Ebersol revealed that he was allowed by Simon to divulge a clue about the person's name:
"Carly told me that I could offer up to the entire world, a clue as to what she'll tell me when we have this night in about two weeks. And the clue is: The letter 'E' is in the person's name."[

To Brian Cowen

Are you really the fat useless idiot that the Irish public sees you as, or do you actually have a clue how to fix the Irish economy?

To Elvis:

Considering , you died on the throne , are you now regretting the synonymous name given to you by your fans?

Elvis:

Well , I have to admit , I was " All Shook Up."
I left the "Heartbreak Hotel" , and headed for the Chapel , where you saw me crying.
My " Hound Dog " , " Old Shep " was going to end up " In The Getto "
I sang to him , " Softly as I leave you " and then came " Surrender " and I started to " Shake , Rattle and Roll "
I asked God to " Please Release Me " and " Return To Sender "
I after all had lived it " My Way " , and " I Just Can't Help Believing " that because I sang " King Creole " You would " Hurt " me in this way.

I am " All Shook Up " and asking " Don't Be Cruel " as I remember the " Fever " kicking in.

But now and then , " There's A Fool Such As I" and I have come to know , that " I Slipped , I Stumbled I Fell " and " It's Over".

ME: Thank You , Thank You Very Much.:eek:

Long Live The King.

I'd ask Barry Scott why the fuck he has to shout in the ads.

I know Cillit Bang will clean my kitchen. I don't need you to shout at me you spastic. His children must be hard of hearing already.
