From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"You're So Vain" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon, released in December 1972.
The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover. The song was a number-one hit (it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in early 1973, and also spent two weeks at the top of the Adult Contemporary chart, her first #1 song on either chart). "You're So Vain" was Simon's breakthrough hit in the United Kingdom market, reaching #3 on the UK chart on its original release in 1973. The song was re-released there in the spring of 1991 to cash in on its inclusion in a commercial for Dunlop Tyres, and came very close to making the UK top 40 a second time, peaking at #41.
The song listed at #72 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time.[1] "You're So Vain" was voted #216 in RIAA's Songs of the Century.
