So apparently Carly Simon as let everyone in on another clue in the "Your So Vain" song. The tight lipped singer has just released a new version of the song, and said that when you play it backwards who can hear the name of who the song is about. So, somebody did this, and I guess the name is "David" which as had everything to think that that song is about David Geffen. Geffen was the head of Elektra Records when the label released "You're So Vain". He was really pushing Joni Mitchell at the time and supposedly this upset Simon. She wrote one of the most iconic songs of all time to get back at him, and then didn't let anyone know what it was about? I love have inside jokes with just myself.

This whole "Your So Vain" mystery has been haunting us since the 70s. Everyone pointed to the lovers in Simon's life. Then she said gave some initials of man in question and it sent everyone in a tizzy trying to figure it out. Warren Beatty is vain enough to think the song is about him, even though we have now found out that it's about someone named David. Dick Ebersol paid some huge amount of money at a charity auction to be told the secret. At least the money went to a good cause.

Now we have another clue, and if you put all the clues together it seems to point to David Geffen. But has anyone stopped to think that maybe Carly Simon is just messing with us? If it were me, and I wrote a song about Warren Beatty, and he was like, yeah, this is about me, I would say it wasn't, just to annoy him. Also with all this attention seeking secrecy it seems like Carly Simon is a little vain. I don't know, I guess I just don't get the mystery that will never really be solved. Carly Simon's secrets and Lost are two things I don't need to understand.
