"You're So Vain, You Probably Think this Song is About You"

[battlezoby]

If you know the song (or want to read the lyrics posted below in #11) , I was wondering if do you have any theories about who (specifcily or generally) the song is about?" (Don't be afraid to Google/Youtube it, etcetera.)

After you read more of this threrad, you can read my answer as reply #30.

I've always loved that chorus, which I put in the title here, sounds like bait, because if anyone think it's about them, it makes them seem vain. (Jack, a fictional character on 30 Rocks is vain that he says, "And, yes, that song is about me.")

But then I learned more details about the song. And then, decades later, I had a epiphany about it. But I want to see if other people's comments before I say more. Thanks.

UPDATE: Nobody was said they're curious about my "epiphany" or the trick question, so I think I'll leave those for another day.

Better yet, if you care send me an Invite, I'll tell you, and it'll be our secret. :-)

At various points in my internet life, i have started threads with "You're so vain...you probably think this thread is about you". I'm pretty sure i've sent that out as a txt message too when i've been bored. But i can't even remember who sang the song.

Yes I know it. That question has been answered. She did not answer the question for a long time. But, there are other guys referenced too.

Jarred Leto.

Can we close this thread? Do you need another song answer? You Oughta Know is about David Coulier.

At one point I heard it was about Mick Jagger, but I guess Carly settled it.

Song is excellent!

I sure hope it's not locked. I am looking for more answers, even if they're repeats. I'll explain eventually.

Lyrics, they are wonderful:

Son of a gun

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself gavotte
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 (you're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well 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 clouds in my coffee and
You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)

I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain (you're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well you're where you should be all the time
And 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 (so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you don't you?

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
Probably think this song about you
You're so vain

If one of them isn't Sinatra, I'll eat my hat.
