we always thought it was "grounds in my coffee" and that the horse's name that won at Saratoga was "Naturally' as in your horse (named) Naturally won.......oh well,
@@pumpkin.x I KNOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS 20 or something it sounded like a 90's song WHAT I was like this is 20-30 years old is the person who made this even alive.
It's a bit different for me, it's like my ex-wife is singing this song as a real-time reflection of our failed marriage in 1973. But I was 19 and had more important things to do..
This song is one of my absolute favorites!!! I've always loved it!!! Plus it's in my vocal range 🙂 Just turned 65; hard to believe I was 13 when this came out! 🤔 God bless everyone and thank you Carly!! ❤
I've been listening to this song for weeks now, I'm a teenager who loves listening to classics, this song is brilliant even more amazing than new songs. I actually heard this song in how to loose a guy in 10 days and it caught my attention. I'm probably talking too much but yeah, point is I love this song
I remembered this song being on the top song on American Billboard for so many weeks while I was still in my high school chasing crazily week after week for the pop songs on ABB. I loved this song then and now and forever, what a great song Carly Simon had sung! But I just don't know how all those years have gone by swiftly now that I am an oldie myself!
I'm here because my mom introduced me to it when I was a kid and I listen to this occasionally. She was raised in the 70s and 80s and introduced me to great music! Her family won a jukebox on a radio contest and her older sister has it in her basement
2023 is almost over but memories of the 70's 80's and 90's will always, always be playing all year long on my sound system throughout in every room in my house, garage, and in my backyard!🤗
I'm from Australia and of course, we never saw the total eclipse of the sun in 2024. What I wanna know is did it pass over Nova Scotia..or did that happen in 1972?... When the "You're So Vain" song came out by Carly Simon.
Great Music at the time, I listened to it as a teenager, until today, the listener, not the teen anymore. I was brought up with great music from great musicians, Carly Simon was one of them, thank You so much for a wonderful time.
The cool bass line is by Klaus Voomann, friend of the Beatles, designer of the Revolver cover art, and collaborator with all four of them at one time or another after the breakup.
After all this time... This song still holds some of the most epic lyrics... "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..." And of course "You're so vain, you probly think this song is about you..." I mean how sweetly savage is that?!" For all of us girls who love too hard and love the wrong guy and had to pick themselves up after finding out who he really is and for all the guys still trying to figure out that these girls are where it's at. I named my daughter Karleigh.
What does this mean when said to a guy . I am a woman well.im 17 so getting there but my aunt said it to a guy once and I don't know what she ment and still don't amd she's gone now . Sorry of you have time what did she mean thank you
@@cleetorres1351 Hi, if you're asking about the meaning of the whole song, my interpretation for it is that it's like a requiem for yourself. It's when you see a man for who he truly is: gaslighting, emotionally abusive. And or not available in the first place (like just having an affair with you). if you're talking about that first line specifically, "you're where you should be all the time", Nova Scotia (mentioned right before this line) is considered one of the places a person would spend the rest of their live at. It's a destination you'd settle in when you've accomplished your dreams. It's also very naturally beautiful and picturesque. So the singer is telling her man to stay in that place since it's so magical, metaphorically; i.e. you're too good to be true so you might as well stay in that magical realm, again, metaphorically. Because when the man is around, he's either getting in trouble or sleeping with a friend's wife which is even worse because he is cheating on his woman and also betraying his friend. I hope this helped.
@@cleetorres1351 my take is that this guy comes across as the full package... Money, looks, charm with an ego that even exceeds all that. He is also a master manipulator to the point his close friends trust him with their wives which seems to be a mistake on their part. He is so grandiose and suspicious that he is either with some underworld spy (which may or may not be an exaggeration or even a complete fabrication or not) or the wife of one of his "close friends" trying to get with them. So she's calling him out in the nicest way possible - sweetly savage like hey I may have believed you at first but now I know who you really are and I'm gonna warn everyone else about you too.
my mom used to sing this song to me every night before I went to bed, back when I shared a room with my sister. I was so young and thinking of those days makes me cry
Happy 2024 Eclipse! It turns out the 2024 eclipse is going to just miss Nova Scotia a bit this time. ' Better to Lear-jet into New Brunswick. Ah, Piedmont Park, Atlanta! I recognized the sacred hill in the background. I miss it so much.
When i was in my younger years, this song could’ve easily been inspired by me and written about me. The way women and men chased after me. If only I knew then what I know now.
Years ago when I learned Mick Jagger was an uncredited backup singer I can always hear his voice ☺️ I also read somewhere that his backup vocal was totally unplanned. He just happened to show up in the studio when she was recording this song.
Yeah back in the day even the credited singers and session players weren’t as easy to research so I didn’t find out about Mick until many years later - now I wonder how I could ever have not realized it was him
Las tres han llegado ami en plena adolescencia 15 años lasyres son un encanto d dulzura d persona y profesionales ( ovbiamente entre dos o tres mas TINA CHARLES GLORIA GAYNOR ETC ETC ) TODAS UNICAS DIOS LAS GUARDE A TODAS INMESAMENTE GRACIAS YLOVE YOU THANK VERY MUCH❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😢❤😮❤😅
Back when this song was a hit I read a review that said what really put this song over the top was Mick Jagger's "alley cat background vocals." I still think that was a good way to put it.
Emperor, that was a good show you put on for me. You almost had me convinced. Lol You had quite a strategy. Wedding dancers, great music, sweet compliments...thank you. I was told you're very intelligent. Did they forget to tell you that I'm intelligent, too. You thought I was innocent. Lol. Good luck, Emperor and good by.
Love her talents and Songs. Great Classic Oldie that holds a lot of weight. Memorable. Looking back at truths it is spot on! Thinking lots of people are guilty.
"there were clouds in my coffee" Also, I think that Mick's background vocals really were the perfect touch for this song........powerful.
Absolutely
we always thought it was "grounds in my coffee" and that the horse's name that won at Saratoga was "Naturally' as in your horse (named) Naturally won.......oh well,
In related news if u think coffee is racist add (more) milk
Hard to believe this song is almost fifty years old-Still sounds great!
Almost 50 years! 😳
Classics like this always do and always will!!!
hard to belive u can post a song they wont let me thats blocked world wide, ur so vain TH-cam
WHAT IT IS???
@@pumpkin.x I KNOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS 20 or something it sounded like a 90's song WHAT I was like this is 20-30 years old is the person who made this even alive.
😮This is absolutely the best song that Carly Simon came out with. This song was made in the 70's?! It will always be a classic song from Carly Simon.
Super
Ok cool
I'm so vain this song is definitely about me.
lot of us dreamed but all dreams were going throw water
Probably. Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

I bet this song is about you lol
Do you gavotte?
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson were "brilliant" in the How to lose a guy in ten days movie :)
Filme muito legal e minha ex disse que essa musica me representava porque era muito " vaidoso" 😄😄
I always sing "they'd be Ben's partner" 😂
This song is one of my absolute favorites!!! I've always loved it!!! Plus it's in my vocal range 🙂 Just turned 65; hard to believe I was 13 when this came out! 🤔 God bless everyone and thank you Carly!! ❤
Sing it, Mary! :)
I WAS 17 YEARS OLD
Everything about this song is perfect, her singing, the lyrics, the percussion, etc. This used to be me and my moms song
And Mick Jagger's backing vocals wrap it up in gold
This song epitomizes the 1970's. One of my all-time favorites.
I've been listening to this song for weeks now, I'm a teenager who loves listening to classics, this song is brilliant even more amazing than new songs.

You’re an old soul who has great taste!
lol same except my dad listens to classics and just hitch on lol but I LOVE EM
Man i must be getting old because even this song makes me teary eyed for some reason.
Mick Jagger holding down the back up vocals, job well done. The vocal fry on the word several, outstanding!
I never knew that, I can hear it now.
2022 and still loving this song. 💃
You're so vain 😀
Me too...
This one takes me back to my teens when I was still living in Mexico!
Same here 🥰 Love most of Carly Simon’s songs/covers ❤️
Me too.
I was going to school on the school bus and the bus driver used to play this on the stereo almost every day. Love this song

December 24, 2024 and still enjoying this song ❤ Who else is listening to this song
I listened to this for the Total Eclipse of the Sun!
I'm from Australia and of course, we never saw the total eclipse of the sun in 2024. What I wanna know is did it pass over Nova Scotia..or did that happen in 1972?... When the "You're So Vain" song came out by Carly Simon.
Yes, it crossed over there this year!
When I was younger, I never understood this song. Now, unfortunately, I do. Thank you Carly
I'm 55 and I always loved carly Simon
Cool that Mick Jagger didn't want any recognition or credit for his backup vocals. Way cool!
I Love 70's SONGS 🥰. Reminds me of Our Family went everyone was here on 🌏. Now there are Just 3 of us from 9 Children 😭😭.
Great Music at the time, I listened to it as a teenager, until today, the listener, not the teen anymore. I was brought up with great music from great musicians, Carly Simon was one of them, thank You so much for a wonderful time.
Welcoming 2025, vibin' with this masterpiece < 3
can we just appreciate how good this lyric video is. the picture used the caption everything
3:04. "......flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia, to see the TOTAL ECLIPSE of the sun"

Taylor's favorite part in this song-"I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds" -She said in Vogue
Magnificent Carly Simon. Yes song is more modern and better than many of the 21st century
I’ve been obsessed with this song since I was 10
THEYD BE BENS PARTNER
You gave away the things you loved an one of them was me
I hope Warren regrets it every day!
8 track in the car . Only good thing as a child I remember is music. Still my peaceful place as long as its loud
One of my favorite songs . Sang this at a karaoke bar.
Lol
Hey taylor---this is how you sing about ex's...lol

My uncles funeral song.
Love and miss you always❤
still one of my life faves---
0:43 TIL that the line is “you watched yourself gavotte.” I thought it was “you watched yourself go by” or “you watched yourself go about.”
So did I.
"Cavort" in her New England accent is what I believed: caavaaht.
Gavotte
Its a type of french dance from the 18th century🎶Hence why she sings about girls wanting to be his partner.
Gavotte means a French dance
First time i knew this song by watching "The Preacher". And until now i never stop listen it everyday
I learned these lyrics in one swoop! Iconic.
Emperor, that was a good show you put on for me. You almost had me convinced. Lol You had quite a strategy. Wedding dancers, great music, sweet compliments...thank you. I was told you're very intelligent. Did they forget to tell you that I'm intelligent, too. You thought I was innocent. Lol. Good luck, Emperor and good by.

one of the best revenge songs the truth hurts

Looking back at truths it is spot on! Thinking lots of people are guilty.
@CHILL WITH ME - Thanks for this one! Great work! - Here because of First To Eleven's cover released on their channel today.

Song by Carly Simon
OverviewLyricsListenArtistsOther recordingsVideosAnalysis
Son of a gun
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 (you're so vain)
I 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 (you're so vain)
I 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 (you're so vain)
I 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 lear 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 (so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you don't you?
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
Probably think this song about you

As a kid I always knew Mick jagger sung background vocals this is my cut🎶🔥
There were clouds in my coffee this morning, so I just had to hear this. Son of a gun.
Ah, my youth!

I think you reduced the speed slightly. That's good for us trying to learn the lyrics.
Carly Always 🎶🌹
Grande, Carly......!!
Carly wrote n sang it...allegedly about Warren Beatty!
Its 22.6.2024 n i still love it!
Listen closely to the beginning of the song’s lyrics ‼️ 2:26
This great gem 💎 is definitely about James Taylor. Lmao.
Warren Beatty
I love this song
I’m vain but I’ve never watched myself gavotte.
Maybe it's time for you to try it out 😂
Take those opportunity then,
