Po 38 letih se je razgrnila še ena tančica skrivnosti o vase zagledanem ljubimcu, ki ga je opevala legendarna Carly Simon v hitu You're So Vain. Toda končne rešitve še vedno ni.
Odgovor na domnevno največjo skrivnost v zgodovini popglasbe je Carly skrila v novi različici te skladbe, ki je izšla na njenem albumu Never Been Gone. V skladbi je pevka črke imena David zašepetala v obratnem vrstnem redu in namesto, da bi končala vsa ugibanja, kdo je skrivnostnež, ta le še bolj razvnela.
Je David ...
Britanski časopisi so takoj (prenagljeno) zaključili, da naj bi šlo za njenega nekdanjega "šefa", direktorja založbe Elektra Davida Geffena. Češ da je skladba nastala kot ljubosumna reakcija na njeno tekmico pri založbi Electra, Joni Mitchell.
... toda ne Graffin
Toda takoj naslednji dan je Carlyjin nekdanji mož in tesni prijatelj Jim Hart zanikal njihov zaključek. Da skladba ne govori o Geffenu, je potrdil tudi Caryjin predstavnik za stike z javnostjo in hkrati še dodal, da je neki David zagotovo povezan s skladbo. Novinarji na reviji Vanity Fair pa so šli s svojimi ugotovitvami še korak dlje in dodali, da se v skladbi poleg Davida pojavi tudi Warren in še eno nerazumljivo ime.
Carly sama burila domišljijo
Skrivnost buri domišljijo glasbenih poznavalcev že vse od izdaje skladbe. Še preden je ta postala uspešnica, je Carly v enem izmed zgodnejših intervjujev priznala, da ta govori o možu, toda brez konkretnih imen.
Čez leta je nato priznala, da se v imenu njenega opevanega skrivnostneža lahko pojavijo črke a, e in r. Kar je sprožilo nov niz imen od igralca, pesnika in pevca Krisa Kristoffersona, legendarnih Davida Bowieja, Davida Cassidyja, Cata Stevensa do igralca Warrena Beattyja in pevca skupine The Rolling Stones Micka Jaggerja.
Resnico je sicer razkrila na dobrodelni dražbi leta 2003, na kateri je na uho povedala ime moškega, o katerem je pela. Najboljši ponudnik je bil znameniti športni komentator televizije NBC Dick Ebersol, ki je za informacijo plačal 50.000 dolarjev. A hkrati je moral obljubiti, da bo skrivnost odnesel v grob.
Kljub naporom, da bi ujeli to "slavno osebo", je leta 2005 Hart zagotovil, da skladba ne govori o nobenem zvezdniku.
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, I'll 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, I'll 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, I'll 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 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, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? don't you?
Če maš 50.000$ viška, lahko zgleda zveš, kdo je to bil.
Sicer pa mislim, da je pela o meni. :D
