GUEST,Mr Vainly-Ironic	'You're so vain' (Carly Simon) (95* d)	RE: 'You're so vain' (Carly Simon)	09 Apr 07
"I have always understood it as a double irony, intentionally written so to make that very point, Tunesmith. It's a rare writing trick, but great when you can pull it off; Carly does so in spades in this song. The only other example of such exquisite irony I can think of is the 10CC hit of the mid-1970s: "I'm not in love" - when he clearly is. But there are a few others around, I just con't think of them rioght now." hers another one for you.. "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts".. of course I clearly haven't ..and who has ?
