#11: “You’re So Vain” – Carly Simon (1974)
The 1970s It girls couldn’t get enough of a good scandal, and Carly Simon served it with “You’re So Vain” in 1974. Part pop banger, part whodunit, the song kept fans guessing for decades. Warren Beatty confirmed in 2015 as the second-verse target, though Simon admits it’s a mash-up of three men. Mick Jagger sneaks in on the chorus, Klaus Voormann lays down the bass, and a Learjet eclipse reference sent detectives into overdrive.
