Ironic by Alanis Morissette
:chuckle:
:chuckle:
Good one ... but the subject of Alanis begs the question ... gals get a word for women hating men (misogynist). Why don't guys get a word for gals like Alanis?

I don't listen to her in general, I just remembered the hook of the song.
In your opinion is she a misandrist?

I haven't listened to her since the early nineties.
I was making a funny at fzappa13 because I have NO CLUE what she's like any more.

Oh, come on now, surely you're not suggesting we can't talk about Canis lupus familiaris in the hallowed halls of TOL are you? :chuckle:

But we're not talking about a dog.
We're talking about a singer.

Carly Simon - You're So Vain
Lyrics: You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you / You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you / Don't you? don't you?
(If the song is not written about the person she is calling so vain, who is it written about?)

It turns out that the song was written about three (or more?) different men.

Carly Simon spills on who's so vain
NEW YORK – It’s been one of the most tantalizing mysteries in music for four decades, and Carly Simon is ready for the big reveal. Talk about anticipation.
Yes, she says, confirming years of speculation, You’re So Vain is about one-time Hollywood lothario Warren Beatty. But only the second verse (“You had me several years ago when I was still quite naïve/Well you said that we made such a pretty pair/And that you would never leave…”). Verses one (the yacht guy) and three (the Lear jet man)? She isn’t telling.
Simon, 70, one of the biggest pop stars of the 1970s and ’80s, has written a memoir, Boys in the Trees (Flatiron, on sale Nov. 24), a lyrical look back at her childhood, her career, and oh, the men in her life.
Nestled in a plush leather sofa in the lobby of Robert De Niro’s downtown Greenwich Hotel, Simon munches on a late breakfast, her voice a seductive purr as she talks about her book.
Why keep the identities of the other two men in her hit song – which she performed on stage in 2013 with Taylor Swift, an unabashed fan – a secret?
“I haven’t told either of them that it’s about them, so it would be too much of a shock, too much of a cold, calculated thing to put it in the book without them knowing,” says Simon, who kept a diary for years.
