You're so Vain-Carly Simon- 70's

Carly Simon is a revolutionary artists because of her many talents. Not only is Carly a singer but she has also been an actress as well as a children's story writer. Her talents have won her a Grammy, And Academy Award as well as a Golden Globe Award. Carly Simon's talents have also landed her a spot in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. One of Carly's most notable songs, "You're so Vain", has lead to Carly's success. The song is about a girl who breaks up with a guy and talks about how self centered he was and how he thinks he is better than her. Carly uses a stupendous amount of imagery to paint the picture of a selfish and self indulgant man. "You walked into the partyLike you were walking onto a yachtYour hat strategically dipped below one eyeYour scarf it was apricot" Not only is this man vain but also welld ressed. Maybe too well dressed. The song is also very paradoxal for it's main chorus line "You're so vainYou probably think this song is about youYou're so vain". She is singing a song about how vain a man is, and then claiming that he even thinks the song she is singing is about him" It kind fo doesn't make much sense it is, nonetheless, humorous and catchy. In a way, the song is almost the opposite of personification because Carly describes him almost like he is not even human. He thinks he is better than humans or a god. But Carly herself personifies him, despite his obvious vanity.
