THE SONG:
"You're So Vain" is a song written and performed by American singer and songwriter Carly Simon and released in November 1972. In early 1973, the song reached No. 1 in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. You’re So Vain was nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 16th Annual Grammy Awards in 1974. The title subject's identity has long been a matter of speculation, with Simon stating that the song refers to three men, only one of whom she has named publicly: Warren Beatty. Simon had said in 1983 that Beatty "certainly thought it was about him—he called me and said thanks for the song..."
A slew of people including Taylor Swift, Howard Stern and Dick Ebersol claim that Simon personally told them who the song was written about. They aren’t talking. That’s Mick Jagger you’re hearing on the backing vocals. The line "Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun" refers to the total solar eclipse of July 10th, 1972, visible only in Nova Scotia, Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. Simon said the line "clouds in my coffee" came "from an airplane flight that I took with Billy Mernit, who was my friend and piano player at the time. As I got my coffee, there were clouds outside the window of the airplane and you could see the reflection in the cup of coffee. Billy said to me, 'Look at the clouds in your coffee'.
