Carly Simon's YOU'RE SO VAIN that this song IS about YOU, plus Schrodinger's Cat, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, and odontophobia

from Lyrics of the Lost · host Peter and Dave

We've dipped way back into the early 70s again to assess Carly Simon's break-up revenge hit. It's pretty much all in the title ... plus drunk party guests, fruity accessories, bees, gavotting, fighting a mirror, a self-fulfilling prophecy, horribly-wounded cats, pentium computing, Space Cadet Pinball, clues and insult-puzzles, stir your coffee, narcissistic personality disorder, paranoia, haunting teeth, stalking, and online quizzes. What does it say about her ex(es)? What does it say about her? How is a Japanese businessman involved? What does Marie Kondo have to say about all this? Enquiring minds want to know! If you want to play along at home, try this (way too) short NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER quiz (https://www.mind-diagnostics.org/narcissism-test) Would you like to appear (well, vocally) on the show? Do you have a pop song or ear-worm from the SMOOTH FM genre that’s infested your mind and needs to be investigated? Visit this page anchor.fm/peter-davis6 and press the message button to record me your own voicemail hot-take on your specific smooth song of suckiness. You can be on a future episode!
