At 75, Carly Simon Finally Confirms Who “You’re So Vain” was Written About 

She gave no answer. This tactic is becoming more frequent.

This was so annoying. I regret watching this whole damn thing considering there was no specific answer of who the song was supposed to be about. In the very beginning you stated she finally gives the answer of who this song is about, but all you did was keep us hanging with no answer to be found.

You Did not answer F..ken thing?

I know I'm old and getting senile but did I miss who Carly named. questioning did I watch this for nothing

After listening to this, l don't give a RATS A-S any more.

Gosh Almighty. Would someone please coach these “narrators” on pronunciation - Geffen with a hard G. I know I’m not the only one this bothers.

Glad I read the comments first and didn’t waste my time. I always heard it was Warren Beatty.

It was Beatty. Jagger sang background

If it had not been about Carly I would not have watched it. I knew the question would never be answered. Really getting tired of this. Going to have to find something to do beside this.

Warren Beatty!

She gave no answer.

As my Hispanic friends would say: "There have been a lot of tamales in that taco." It is a good thing that she and Jagger never produced a child, can you imagine what it's mouth would look like?

Bob dylans , full first name is Robert, which contains the letters she mentioned....

Great segment! I've subscribed - but who was it, exactly :)

It was written for the actor Warren Beatty acc to my mother.

At one time, there was only 3 Possible People that the Song was Written About!

That’s who I thought , Mike jagger

From my childhood i always heard it was Warren Beatty.

Ever thought about hiring a voiceover ? ✋🏻🤐

Thank you for letting me know it's a nothing burger before I wasted my time and frustrated. I know this channel likes to drag people along. And I should have known better before I even began watching.

I didn't care if it wasn't anybody at all. I did see the total eclipse of the sun she referred to in the song only in Virginia Beach, VA. instead of Nova Scotia, March 7,1970.

She screwed everybody! Damn! After a while girl, it's on YOU. Not them...

I think entitling a song as "You're So Vain" with the lyric following that being - "you 'probly' think this song is about you" - when in fact, it IS about that person, is more contradictory than any song I know of. And it blows my mind that I'm the only one who ever noticed this - in MY world. I'm sure I'm not the only one who ever noticed this EVER. I would even guess that Ms. Simon saw this contradiction (or question) when she was writing it and simply thought it to be good writing because it's "artistically ambiguous." No, it's a contradiction.

exeptionally interesting subject! nah, just sarcasm.

What a waste of time! I should have known better! Everytime I hear this man’s voice I know there will be a great deal of talking and nothing of value will ever be said! No more chances!

To be true, any time I hear it I feel she's speaking to me! Am I not so vain? (and think that the song is about me)? Well, that's it!! kinda of a fine trick.

We still don’t know? I am sure it was about a few men she was with 🤗

It was me 😉

This video its a lot of talk no action.

Who Cares, That song gave me a headache 😭😭😭. They played the hell out of it when it came out.I guess I'm just not 🚫🚫 a fan of her's!!!!

Way back when rumor was it was Hugh Hefner

This is so boring; always known it is Jagger11

Waterboarded with the parade of vain in her life. OK, the one's after she wrote the song are eliminated if it's about one or the several relationships. That only leaves the one's she had experienced in life to that point to be the potential one, or maybe she wrote it based upon the several experiences and it's about nobody in particular & the song applies to past, present & future. Wisdom is a wonderful thing like that. Was she Alanis Morrisette only a couple of decades earlier ? Only kept it short to a single song instead of her entire collection ?

I think after watching this pointless video which does not give an answer I've come to realize it was herself she wrote the song about.
