Nope. David Geffen.

Edit: Sorry, that's a Joni Mitchell song. You're So Vain is about Warren Beatty.

She’s confirmed only the second verse is about Beatty.

Yep, Free Man In Paris. Definitely is. Joni has said so.

Didn't Trent Reznor sample this one on STARFXXKERS INC. ????

Not exactly, he copied the lyric for this bit:

All our pain How did you think we'd get by without you? You're so vain I bet you think this song is about you Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you? Dont you?

No one knows who it’s about. It’s a mystery. She’s only told one person.

Howard Stern claims she told him and that he forgot who she said. I call bullshit.
