You're so Vain!


On January 6th, 1973 Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain', (with Mick Jagger on backing vocals), started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart. In 2015, after keeping quiet for more than 40 years, Carly Simon admitted that 'You're So Vain' was about Warren Beatty, but only one verse of it. Simon said the other verses were about two other men.




But I remember the Faster Pussycat version as the B side of a 45 and how much I liked it.




Here is Susan Hoff with  Mathew Sweet from 2009.



In 1973 The Odd Couples Tony Randall & Jack Klugman singing You're So Vain. The song appeared on Side-1 of a 1973 novelty LP released by the London Records Label titled The Odd Couple Sings.



So what's your favorite version?
