Carly Simon Names Who’s So Vain, Kind Of

It's one of the oldest mysteries in music. Who is Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" about? She's kept mum about the identity of the man for over 40 years, save for a few not very specific clues. But today, she straight up named a name.

Ever since the song first came out in 1972, there's been plenty of speculation about the subject of the hit single. From Mick Jagger (who sings background vocals on the track) to Warren Beatty and even David Bowie, she's always been coy about the mystery man.

But she's now telling People Magazine that at least part of the song is indeed about Beatty, saying, "I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren."

That verse, by the way, is

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

She went on to tell the magazine that the rest of the song is about two other men, but is keeping the rest of the mystery under wraps.
