Paradox or just Confusion

Carly Simon’s song, You’re so vain surely should be a paradox? The lyrics:

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you

Surely if ‘you’re’ so vain, ‘you’ thinking the song is about ‘you’, means ‘you’ are correct, meaning the lyrics are wrong, and ‘you’ are not vain, for thinking that it is about ‘you’ when it is about ‘you’. And if it isn’t about ‘you’, then ‘you’ can’t be vain, thus the song not directing towards ‘you’. Confused?

The Boy Least Likely To

So first day of Lent, had to only listen to “The Boy Least Likely To”. Currently listening to them now, as I’m technically counting it before and after sleep. Honestly, not a big fan of their music. Some songs I like, “Every Goliath has its David”, “A Balloon on a Broken String”, “When Life Gives Me Lemons, I Make Lemonade” and the more famous “Be Gentle With Me”. Their style seems to be the same throughout their songs, which is sort of Country mixed with Kids music and a little bit of Experimental Sounds. Some songs just don’t work at all, and I have to skip them.

Here’s their most famous song:

If you recognize it, but don’t know where from, it was the song for the ING Direct back in 2008: Link
