who sang with carly simon on you're so vain?
chrissie hynde
the subject of the "you're so vain" song itself became one of the biggest mysteries in popular music, with the famous lyric "you're so vain/i bet you think this song is about you". for more than 40 years, simon has not publicly revealed the name of the subject. she hinted that it could be a composite of several people, with most press speculation considering mick jagger, who sings backup vocals on the recording, and warren beatty. simon hinted the identity to a variety of talk shows and publications over the years, and, on august 5, 2003, auctioned off the information to the winner of a charity function for us$50,000, with the condition that the winner, television executive dick ebersol, not reveal it. finally, in november 2015, simon, promoting her about-to-be-published memoir, said, "i have confirmed that the second verse is warren" and added that while "warren thinks the whole thing is about him", he is the subject only of that verse, with the remainder of the song referring to two other, still unnamed men.
