You're So Vain

So, yeah, the flooring one was my favorite, though.

There was a song by Carly Simon in the 70s that reminds me of the gentleman that was asking that called You're So Vain.

But anyways, probably showing my age to make that reference.

We've talked about Andy a little bit here.

This is Island Waves, and you're listening to My Morning Music with your host, Ava Sinclair.

You walked into the party Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf, it was abracadabra As you watched yourself go a lot And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner And you'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? 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 We think this song is about you I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, yeah You'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 And your horse naturally won.

Then you flew your little jet off to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun.

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 I bet you think this song is about you, don't you? Girl,

you really got me going You got me so I don't know what I'm doing Yeah, you really got me now You got me so I can't sleep at night You really got me, you really got me, you really got me See,

Breakup songs are nothing new in pop music.

In the early 70s, Carly Simon sang about her ex-boyfriend Warren Beatty in her hit song, You're So Vain.

In spite of the chorus, the song was indeed about him.

Later in the decade, Lindsey Buckingham penned the music and lyrics to Go Your Own Way about his ex-girlfriend Stevie Nicks, who then had to sing it next to him on stage every night.

It didn't have the impact like the first one did.

I think the most interesting thing with Spinal Tap for me is it's almost like Carly Simon's You're So Vain, where you're trying to figure out who she's singing about.

Yeah.

What is the one band that most inspired Spinal Tap? That's the most interesting thing about the movie for me.

But, of course, you will remember over the last couple of days or last week or so, the stories have been coming out, haven't they? Been leaked out.

Oh, yes, You're So Vain.

Oh, the You're So Vain stuff, yeah.

It was Warren Beatty after all.

Although she

James Taylor, of course, she lived with for a long time.

She's married to him, isn't she? I think she was.

Yeah, no wonder there's been a long guessing game over exactly who she was referring to in the lyrics of her famous ode to male arrogance, You're So Vain.

Well, I mean, hell, the first episode, they use Cherry Bomb from The Runaways twice in two pivotal moments.

I'm like, guys, great song, but it just...

Oh, that.

Yeah, odd choice to put modern music in this.

It freaking kills me.

It's like you have the face of a horse.

It's like, really? You're going to say that to Warren Beatty's daughter, the man who actually inspired the song You're So Vain?

She's Hollywood ugly.
