One single that completely fell under the radar for my 1972 list is Carly Simon’s – You’re so Vain. Brilliant lyrics, (and no, I’m not referring to the chorus) meaningful, clever, well-crafted.
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you’re where you should be all of the time
And when you’re not you’re with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and….
Don’t judge!
