All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Carly whispers what I've always thought was "son of a gun" at the start of YSV. So now we find out it was "David Geffen"? I like "sonofagun" a lot better.
Apparently she goosed it up a bit with lines like "you had me several years ago" because writing a song about your producer being a schmuck isn't usually a guarantee of a hit.
Wonder if the SNL tape of her (I think it was her) performing it on SNL is still out there. I remember Chevy was in the background in an apricot colored scarf.
One of my all-time favorites here.
ReplyDeleteCarly Simon's sister was (is?) an opera singer, if I recall correctly.
Carly herself also received some opera training, too. Listen to the resonance in her voice!
Joanna Simon, opera singer back in the day
ReplyDeleteI don't buy it. Geffen is gay and never came out of the closet. This is Simon covering for him.
ReplyDeleteThe song is about Warren Beatty.
