8. Close enough, LOL!

I was just joking because I also remembered that Carly Simon song!:D

[derbstyron]

9. Yep

The Rolling Stones did it as well but I'm not sure which came first.

I remember the Carly Simon version, as well.

10. Carly Simon

wrote the song and many people thought she was referring to Mick Jagger.

The Washington Post - 1983

WP: Who was ‘You’re So Vain about? Mick Jagger?

Carly: No.

WP: Warren Beatty?

Carly: It certainly sounds like it was about Warren Beatty. He certainly thought it was about him - he called me and said thanks for the song….

WP: You had gone with him?

Carly: Hasn’t everybody?

WP: No.

Carly: That only means you haven’t met him, though at the time I met him he was still relatively undiscovered as a Don Juan. I felt I was one among thousands at that point – it hadn’t reached, you know, the populations of small countries….

The Rolling Stones then covered it??????

13. Maybe I'm wrong

But I thought they had.

In my defense, I take meds that make me forget things, as well as make it difficult to concentrate.

The 70s/80s are pretty much a blur for me
:shrug:

14. You're right. It was Carly Simon

This was her song, though it has been done by others, since then.:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I remember the Carly Simon version

It was her song, and she was referring to Warren Beatty. There was even a DU thread on this, once, LOL!:D

[jdots]

6. Jagger is a parody of himself going to the bank

Skittles kick Jagger's ass he hasn't done anthing since beggar's banquet.

[Beer Snob-50]

16. Mick sings backup on the song

listen carefully and you can hear his melodic warbblings.

[Mad_Dem_X]

17. You can hear him quite clearly on

the "don't you, don't you, don't you" part.
