Carly Simon "You're So Vain"

Speaking of songs about unnamed people, Carly Simon admitted her 1972 song "You're So Vain" is about three men. After years of being tight-lipped, she offered some clues and later revealed one of those men is actor Warren Beatty. The other two men remained unnamed nearly 50 years after first becoming a radio hit.

Carly Simon "You Belong to Me"

The other song from Carly Simon whose title starts with "You" is the 1978 hit "You Belong to Me". Throughout the years, numerous other artists remade the soft rock gem including Jennifer Lopez, Anita Baker and Chaka Khan. Chaka enlisted help from the smoothest voice in the land: Michael McDonald to sing the tune with her in her 2007 album Funk This. McDonald also charted a live version of the song while with the Doobie Brothers in 1983.

Carly Simon "Haven't Got Time for the Pain"

How effective is using a popular song in advertising? I can't hear Carly Simon's "Haven't Got Time for the Pain" without thinking of the popular 1980s television commercials for Medipren. I just don't know what the hell Medipren is.

Carly Simon "Give Me All Night"

You might be too young to understand this, but...

The sound I hear while listening to "Give Me All Night" makes me think the cassette player is about to "eat" my tape.  The song sounds like it's slower than it should be and a bit garbled.

James Taylor - "Your Smiling Face"

James Taylor's relationship with Carly Simon gave him something to sing about in "Your Smiling Face" -- a Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit in 1977.  The ode to Carly is one of very few upbeat tunes from JT.

Carly Simon - "All I Want Is You"

A sample of the, um, deep interesting lyrics in Carly Simon's "All I Want Is You":

"So chase me around the room.  Make me crazy like the moon.  They can never guess in the silences that all I want is you and the sexy hurricane that we share.  All I want is you."
