| Carly Simon slightly tweaked her classic song "You're So Vain" for an awesome anti-Trump ad. |
It's the perfect pop song. Catchy music, funny, sarcastic lyrics about a man who has a high opinion of himself, sung by one of the best voices in the business.
Simon has never been clear about exactly who she was talking about in that song. Part of it seems to be about Warren Beatty, but I like how we never really know who Simon is talking about.
However, now "You're So Vain" been used wonderfully by the Patriots Artists and Creatives Super Pac to attack Donald Trump in a pro-Hillary Clinton ad.
The original song plays as we get all kinds of examples of Trump's vanity and temperament. I love the part where Simon sings "and all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner," and the video shows pics of Trump with his three wives, then a photoshopped image of Trump with a shirtless Vladimir Putin on horseback.
If you listen closely, one lyric of "You're So Vain" has been changed for this Trump ad.
A line in the original version of "You're So Vain" is "your scarf, it was apricot."
The new Trump ad version changes the lyric to "your face, it was apricot."
They just couldn't resist, could they? I wouldn't have been able to, either.
Anyway, here's the ad, featuring the song that you swear was meant to be about Donald Trump. (You'l have to click on "Watch on YouTube" to actually see it. )
