[OT] You're so vain...

Stare into the eyes of the grinning oni...

It's about me, It's about me.

Roland I have been meaning to ask this for quite some time. You wouldn't happen to be friends with a guy named Garret out of Los Angeles, would you?

Sorry, no. He sounds fascinating though.

...am not!

You're all just jealous of my exceptional beauty, wit and charm.

ENWorld in unison: Garret from LA?!!!!

Right, I need this cleared up! I immediately thought of Nine Inch Nails' Starfu****s when I read this post.

So going from the first couple of posts, I will declare that the song is about dissing Marilyn Manson (1)

Does anyone know who sang backup on the song when Carly performed it on "Saturday Night Live?" (I mean, besides me)

That would be Chevy Chase.

Here is one to chalk up to mutated urban lore: I was under the impression that Mick Jagger actually wrote the song. Can't remember where I heard that though.

 

[Desdichado]

Isn't Jagger singing the backup vocals on the track, too? As for the Beatty-Taylor bit, IIRC, it's Beatty. I could be wrong though. This reminds me of something else actually — someone on the boards, I can't remember who, has a signature that runs something like "Love will tear us apart," and every time I see it, all I can think about is the Captain and Tenille. *shudders* Oh well, back to work...

Arrgghh! That's "Love will keep us together"! "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a Joy Division song. Very different.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

You're all wrong! The song is about me! Me, dammit!

Oh. Wait. No. It can't be. According to earlier posts, I'm not pretty enough to be vain...

AAAAARRRRGGGGH! Damn you! Now I can't get the image of Ian Curtis singing Love will keep us together out of my head.
