“David Geffen Is So Vain” Doesn’t Have The Same Ring… Or Mystery

Can we talk about her nipples for a second?
First Deep Throat comes out and now another vintage mystery is finally solved! Who was Carly Simon singing about in her 1972 hit "You're so Vain?" Simon sneakily reveals in her upcoming album that David Geffen, the head of her record label at the time, was just so very vain. Really? David Geffen? Really? With the laundry list of Carly's ex-lovers I was honestly expecting a little more out of homegirl. Apparently you can only hear the name David when you play the reworked song backwards. I'd rather believe the "David" was the devil coming through my MacBook speakers and not Carly admitting she was jealous because Geffen was giving more attention to Joni Mitchell. And so I shall delude myself! Dlisted has the full story. Princess Sophia has prepared a musical snack for you!
