It was the question that had eluded scientists for decades and fueled countless massive biker bar brawls. Dan Brown even tackled the question in an early draft of Angels and Demons. Who exactly was Carly Simon singing about in the 70’s hit “You’re So Vane”? Mick Jagger, Kris Kristofferson, Cat Stevens and Warren Beatty were all prime suspects. A small faction thought maybe it was Dr. Teeth from The Muppet Show. But were any of them vain enough?
A definite answer had never been found… until now. The Daily Mail reports:
Simon, 64, ended the 38 year guessing game by whispering the name backwards on a reworked version of the song for her new album Never Been Gone, out next week.
Previously Simon had always claimed the song was a ‘composite’ of people she knew.
In 1972 when she wrote the song billionaire Geffen was the head of her Elektra record label.
It is thought she was inspired to write the damning lyrics after Geffen put all his time and energy into promoting her rival, Joni Mitchell, over her.
So there you go. Our long national nightmare is over. It is official:
Now we can finally start tackling the question of who let those f*#%ing dogs out.
