You Probably Think This Blog Is About You

Most people remember Carly Simon's hit song "You're So Vain" and to this day she has not revealed who she wrote the song about. Many have asked and many have speculated, but no one knows for sure...except Carly, of course... and perhaps the person about whom she wrote it.

Below are some new lyrics to the same tune.

Who were they written about?

I'll tell....as soon as Carly does!


**********************************


You walked into the meeting
Like the queen of the debutantes
You had your speech so carefully prepared
And typed with the proper fonts
You had one eye on the camera
And one eye on the crowd
And then you dreamed
That you'd be convincing
But you're not convincing, and...

You're so vain
You probably think this blog is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this blog is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well you fooled us several years ago
When we were still quite naive
And you said that we needed more overrides
Or else we should simply leave
And you took away the dough we need
And called it just a "cup of joe"
We had some dreams
They were clouds in our coffee
"Just another cup of coffee", and...

You're so vain
You probably think this blog is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this blog is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well we hear you're going to negotiate now
Against a union with enormous clout
And you say that it's all under control
And in you we should have no doubt
But you don't inspire our confidence
With the things that you say and you do
To earn some respect
You need to change your demeanor
Change your demeanor, and...

You're so vain
You probably think this blog is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this blog is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

  2. Keating...Did Carly tell you that? Or are you just speculating? And what is a Toblerone bar? Do they serve martinis?
