Both the 1970 and 1972 Total Solar Eclipses were visible from Nova Scotia. One could say that if you were thinking which one Carly Simon was referencing, either one would be so vain that they probably think the song was about them... Happy eclipse day everyone.
There was someone who took the Ice Cube song "It Was A Good Day" and, using the references in the song whose historical occurrences overlapped, determined 'Cube was almost certainly talking about January 20, 1992. Using references in THIS song, I'm sure junior detectives have tried to place likely So Vain candidates in Nova Scotia on those dates plus line up with other clues...
@@richardharris8867 that’s literally called songwriting It’s not particularly impressive that an artist can do that It takes much more talent to create an intricate rhyme scheme
imagine wman breaks up with mn and he does song your so vain shming her LOL btw covert nrccists call other ppl vain to hrt them, self described 'emapths' according to sam vahknin
It's kind of like that old grade school joke "Someone told me you sound like an owl" and then the other person says "Who"? which makes them sound like an owl. With this song, the person listening would say "of course it's about me, how could it not be about me? It's obviously about me" which makes them sound exactly like a vain person and thus exposes them to ridicule.
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥
Just watched the April 8th 2024 total eclipse of the sun and this song just kept playing in my head...my Lear jet wasn't available and wasn't in Nova Scotia.......lol I was very young when this came out but I still love this song!
How is it possible to stay madly in love with a song for 48 years? Fell under the spell of this tune in 1974 the first time I heard it and it still makes me swoon. It's in my top 5 songs of all time!
Because it's real music, that has meaning, realistic views of Life, Love And relationships Not about murder, Sexual assault, Drugs Or lyrics that you would never want your parents to hear, What happened to music And the musicians?
I just learned Mick Jagger randomly did backup vocals for this song! He happened to be in the studio while it was being recorded. I can’t unhear it! How did I ever miss it before?
I absolutely ❤️ the lyrics “Clouds in my coffee” and the symbolism of how confusing life and love can be, like it all looks so attractive and enticing like delicious cup of coffee and beautiful clouds, but you still can’t see through those clouds until they pass… I also ❤️ REAL clouds and coffee!! lol PERFECT 👍
You know you have a classic hit when you can do a remake of your own song , over 35 years later and it still blows people away. Greetings from the east village Carly. ❤
1:30 - 1:45 is just perfection that I keep looping. Like legit would pay all the money to hear her acoustic slowed version in full. That piano riff added and the mature rasp just completely rips me open in many emotional ways. I need more. 💖😛
It's so refreshing to hear an older comfortable song like this I remember hearing as I grew up and then see it put into a current video! Carly, you're still a vibrant and beautiful songstress and it was a pleasure watching this video.
K Nazz The Beatles used a synthesizer on at least two of the tracks on their Abbey Road album -- Here Comes the Sun and Maxwell's Silver Hammer. That was back in 1969.
K Nazz Moog synthesizers came out around 1965 , Moody Blues was the first group to use it. You could make it sound like a whole orchestra . It took a semi-truck to haul it. Let alone the cost was around $ 1 million.
This beautiful woman has been a part of my life ever since I remember. I first heard her songs with my mom, who had me as a teenager. Listening to her music has not only brought us together but also taught me something about fending for myself. So thank you. You are a queen!
My mom had Carly's album NO SECRETS which features this song. I destroyed the first copy my mom had when I was a destructive "brain-damaged" child. She bought another copy in 1981 that remains intact today.
What a mesmerising video. The scruffy dude just doing his dance and running around without any regard for anyone - just living the moment. It all ties in perfectly. What a first class job of Carly and a pleasure to watch.
Back when this came on radio in the early 2000s I thought it was smooth and sounded so fun, especially when I thought she was saying 'clowns in the coffe'.
My dad loves this song so much anytime I play it it reminds me of him. He isn’t dead but whenever he plays this song or it comes on he smiles and I love seeing my dad stress free even for a couple minutes.
When I first heard this song I was still learning English and I thought that she was singing "mouse in my coffee", when in fact, was "clouds in my coffee"! It took a long time for me to realize my mistake.
I remember my parents having this album in the 70s. I remember the cover distinctly. No clue at the time what it was, I was born in 1969. This is definitely a timeless classic that deserves to be re discovered by the younger generations. Carly Simon was/is a beautiful singer that had such impact on many people, myself included. I was just a bit young at the time. I remember hearing it all the time in my dad's truck that only had AM radio.
My high school teacher used to always play this song on UA-cam real quiet on her laptop and every time I hear this I miss her so so much. She’s the only person who got me through high school when my ex was beating me up everyday and my family fell apart and me and my brother were split up and put in foster care with strangers. The only time I felt at home was when I would talk to her. I thank God for that workmen because I would of ended my life without her kindness and love.
For years my wife and I joked about who it was Carly was singing about, but if I had to guess- I would say a combination of James Taylor, Mick Jagger, Warren Beatty, and a few others. At any rate, its a beautiful song that both of us love and have fond memories of hearing as kids back in the late 70's.....just a lot of great pop songs back from those days, haha:-)
as a gen z kid who absolutely adores this song, I must say that I completely forgot how strange music videos were a decade ago. watching this felt like a fever dream, but oddly refreshing. i see a lot of people in the comments calling it nostalgic and unfortunately I cannot share the same sentiment, as when this video was released, I was still in kindergarten
I believe music is timeless. Enjoy it anytime you please. It's great to discover older music. It opens up lots of new songs to listen to. I will never forget being a kid growing up in the late 70s/early 80s and discovering music from the 50s and 60s. It was great. Still is.
Gen X'er here. Strange how? The videos I grew up to, like Queen's _Bohemian Rhapsody,_ David Bowie's _Ashes to Ashes,_ Michael Jackon's _Thriller_ etc. seemed very normal. Many of today's selacious music videos would have been considered prawn back then.
First time I ever fell truly in love was when I heard this song on the radio, while travelling on a Crosville bus, here in UK near the Welsh Boarder, approaching Oswestry in England. We didn't have TV those days. It was years later I saw Carly Simon singing this song. It was wonderfully to finally see who it was I had fallen in love with. I was about age 12 at the time.
@@johannesvonsaaz3987 The exact date we do not know but it was a long time ago. Jesus came to reinstate women to their former glory before the fall. That was one of many reasons his enemies wished to kill him.
This song came out the year i was born. I've heard this song a thousand times. I only just this morning learned that Mick does background vocals in the chorus...so I came here to listen...and I'll be damned! It's like magic, I now hear his voice. The power of awareness, amirite?
One of things that makes this video so enjoyable is that Carly is clearly having fun performing in it .... Everybody involved in making this recording in '72 did a great job: the session musicians, the backup singers (including Mick), the audio people who mixed the song, and Carly's lyrics. I still like listening to it 40 years later, because of the craftsmanship involved in making something of this quality. And analog sounds better, for some reason ....
At work in the late 70's as a kid working in a local market. This song reminds me of a specific point in time in my life. All I had to do was go to school, homework, my job.
I LOVE the 30 second change in key and tempo as well as the video production. Very clever... and amusing. Not to mention, the verse so very personal for Carly. Carly Simon's 'No Secrets" was the first album I bought. It remains one of my all-time favorites 50 years later.
That sudden key change hits so hard!✨🤌🏻 It's just sad that it wasn't included in the official Audio. It would've been better if it actually made it to the final cut.
Mick Jagger did the dance moves thank you I love the production thank you Carly ❤I’m 86 and I love it those moves they say it was Mick Jagger whoever did it absolutely fantastic production😢
I've loved this song since I was a little girl. I'm finally getting around to watching the music video and it was filmed on the Columbia University campus and near the where my son and I lived in graduate family housing.
This song doesn't seem to age ! When we're listening to it, we can't tell if it came out 10 years ago, in the 90s or the 70s (definitely not from the 80s!) Love it
Dear Carly Simon; God would like you to know that I love your music video called "You're So Vain" very much, and God also would like you to know THAT a song called "99 Luftballons" by Nena made me want to listen to your song called "You're So Vain." Sincerely, God and SarahTHOR-I3F
I was 11 yrs old when this song came out. I’m sure I have it on my old cassette tapes.. those I’d spend hours putting together from songs on my little black transistor radio. It definitely reminds me of my middle school days.. and I think I love it more today than back then..
Great song about three men, one of whom Carly said was Warren Beatty. Brilliant string arrangement by the late Paul Buckmaster, Jim Gordon's fabulous drumming, Klaus Voorman on bass, and Jimmy Ryan on guitar, with Carly on piano.
An elegant & beautifully strong songwriter of the early ‘70’s., & it’s a joy to watch how her demeanour has developed over the years. Strong, somewhat gallus and full of humour & charm. Carly, love how your personality has developed. I like this revamped version - Carly really knows her stuff. (Wishing her all the happiness & humour she brought us through her musical journey). Power to the generations of women who set the bar in their profession, for which, @ 69 yrs old, I’m most certainly one of millions. Over to you youngsters, don’t f.. it up, now!! Jane Russell
I've loved this from the moment it was released. To make a reference to the very song you're singing for purposes of sending a message is about as original as it gets.
Actually the video was done in 2010 per www.imdb.com/title/tt3422278/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_19 Love the song, but not the video particularly. Guess it just doesn't match the mental image I've had for 40 so years ;-)
Ho amato questa meraviglia di canzone e ogni volta che l'ascolto mi suscita sempre la stessa sensazione di allora e ritorno immediatamente e felicemente nel mio passato! Brava Carly Simon❤❤
Yeah.... Right..... I know Mick,.... That ain't Mick. Even Mick wishes he had moves like that. Love Mick the most,...But...He has the moves of an injured rooster... Haha.
This was the last song that played on the radio before my grandmother passed back in 2015. Shes not vain. Just proud. But the fact this song played before have kinda haunted me since... 😢
For those of you playing along with the song, I am pretty sure that Ms Simon changes key down a half step during that slow part (2nd verse), so Am becomes A- flat minor and so on.
Congrats to Carly Simon for being in the Class Of 2022 Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame. Well deserved.
OMG! Are you serious?!?!? I can’t believe she hadn’t been inducted until this year.
What’s more underrated is Ms Olivia was fucking killing the performance of You’re so vain which is so fucking good
Nice !!! She deserves it
Great… but she shoulda been in there 20 years ago!! 😂😂😂
Its better than the Rhode Island Hall of Shame 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mom passed away in 2014 and this was her favorite song. Whenever I want to remember her I come to listen.
That's so sweet and I'm sorry for your loss
Same Happened With My Grandad (This song played at his funeral)
Awe that’s so sweet, I’m really sorry for your loss
Same my mom passed the same year and I still throw on her favorite songs
And you can't keep that to yourself?? You have to blurt it out to random strangers? Sad that
“You probably think this song is about you.” It’s ambiguously delightful and timeless.

Agreed. Plus Carly has always been SEXY as hell
This song doesn't seem to age ! When we're listening to it, we can't tell if it came out 10 years ago, in the 90s or the 70s (definitely not from the 80s!) Love it
Dear Carly Simon;
God would like you to know that I love your music video called "You're So Vain" very much, and God also would like you to know THAT a song called "99 Luftballons" by Nena made me want to listen to your song called "You're So Vain."
Sincerely,
God and SarahTHOR-I3F
I had no idea she made a video for this song after all those years. This is pretty cool.
You can't beat class and this girl has it in spades, a legendary song from 1972, you still look amazing Carly. Love this song......😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was 11 yrs old when this song came out. I’m sure I have it on my old cassette tapes.. those I’d spend hours putting together from songs on my little black transistor radio. It definitely reminds me of my middle school days.. and I think I love it more today than back then..
I just left a comment. I was age 12 born in May 1960
She took the words right out of my mouth. Awesome video.
Carly your music made my day through my hardest times. God bless you. ❤️
I’m singing this for an audition. Could never do this song the justice it deserves 🙌
did you get the gig?
@@bebuchwebmaster2046 yes I did thank you! It was the best show I’ve ever been in :) so worth it :))
Great song about three men, one of whom Carly said was Warren Beatty. Brilliant string arrangement by the late Paul Buckmaster, Jim Gordon's fabulous drumming, Klaus Voorman on bass, and Jimmy Ryan on guitar, with Carly on piano.
I always thought it was about James Taylor, til I saw some comments on Reddit earlier today
She wasn't attractive or interesting enough for prime 70's Warren Beatty. He blazed a trail through Hollywood kitty that entire decade.
Love Mick Jaggers backing vocals also
An elegant & beautifully strong songwriter of the early ‘70’s., & it’s a joy to watch how her demeanour has developed over the years. Strong, somewhat gallus and full of humour & charm. Carly, love how your personality has developed.
I like this revamped version - Carly really knows her stuff.
(Wishing her all the happiness & humour she brought us through her musical journey).
Power to the generations of women who set the bar in their profession, for which, @ 69 yrs old, I’m most certainly one of millions. Over to you youngsters, don’t f.. it up, now!!
Jane Russell
It’s about narcissism. So real and still pertinent. I thought it was pretty mild considering what she went through.
@O verdadeiro Sergio Ricardo Nope.
@jon jon Brasileiro She is like the Taylor Swift of the her era... Dated a lot of celebrities, and then compose songs about them. 😂😂😂
@O verdadeiro Sergio Ricardo Actually one of the verse is about Beatty. The other two verses (refers to her other two ex's) still remains anonymous.
@O verdadeiro Sergio Ricardo introducing multi-Oscar winner Warren Beatty as Shirley Macclains brother is the best shade ever. I approve.
@@shoWbitz She says it's about multiple exes but all those verses could apply to Warren Beatty. I think she said that to spare him
I've loved this from the moment it was released. To make a reference to the very song you're singing for purposes of sending a message is about as original as it gets.
Does anyone else think the video quality is very, very, very good for 1972?
Actually the video was done in 2010 per www.imdb.com/title/tt3422278/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_19 Love the song, but not the video particularly. Guess it just doesn't match the mental image I've had for 40 so years ;-)
Wow, I could've never guessed 2010 from how young she looks, she must have aged well!
Your right. She looks great!
When I was little I used to think all people randomly wrote songs about people and the whole world spent their free time figuring who it was about 😂
One of my favorite artists,she has a amazing voice!
Ho amato questa meraviglia di canzone e ogni volta che l'ascolto mi suscita sempre la stessa sensazione di allora e ritorno immediatamente e felicemente nel mio passato! Brava Carly Simon❤❤
Always a classic song......carly will always be a class act.....i love this version
The song is the same, the smile is the same, time has passed but this one has a face, so everything is the same. Mrs. Carly Simon is just as beautiful
70s, 80s and early 90s had the best music 🎵
oh boy so true
Painfully true
So true
Dream on. No way that was as good as we had in the 50's and sixties. That was the real music era. Before drugs destroyed artistic ability.
@@larrytischler570 I think what he really means is the best music was all of the music before the 21st century lol
I heard this 1st time at work today idk how but man i giggled whole song I usually hate music at work... Afternoon delights c'mon haha
Do you know the song "Afternoon Delight"? Hahaha!
Great song. I like watching the guy dance and strut!
Do you know who that dancer/actor is?
Dan D Mick Jagger
Yeah.... Right..... I know Mick,.... That ain't Mick. Even Mick wishes he had moves like that.
Love Mick the most,...But...He has the moves of an injured rooster... Haha.
It looks like Joaquin Phoenix to me.
Bonnie Oles is he gavotting?
J'étais au collège et ça me colle toujours à la peau en plus M.J. dans les cœurs. Dear Carly ❤❤❤
The right song for her style is a song to sing anytime.
Who's listening 🎶 👀 in 2024? She's a 💎 💎 gem!
The woman wrote an entire song about yours truly. Hell yeah I'm listening! 😁😁😁
56-year-old athlete, grew up listening in the back of my mom's car as she sold real estate, early 70's under 9 years old!

Me!!!
Carly Simon is the legend, ahead of her time and clearly describing the mental illness known as narcissism.
This reminds me of someone special..choked up ..tearing
This song is priceless! I never get tired of listening!
I am still in love with Carly Simon.
Is this the song Camille Vasquez was referring to??
Yes
This was the last song that played on the radio before my grandmother passed back in 2015. Shes not vain. Just proud. But the fact this song played before have kinda haunted me since... 😢
Great change down at 1:08
Carly is the best. This song reminds me of being 5 years old when my mom had this album playing on repeat every day.
I could listen to this song all day without getting tired to listen to it. ❤
For those of you playing along with the song, I am pretty sure that Ms Simon changes key down a half step during that slow part (2nd verse), so Am becomes A- flat minor and so on.
Love this. Great piano intro. Great vocals.
