NIFTY CARLY
This is a very smart way to raise something out of the blue as it were. Pull a contest - and how amazing really, that after all this time there hasn't been an official video clip.
Well, maybe not so amazing, given that video clips came into the arena a little after this hit song.
Back in the day there were lots of music magazines to see shots of Carly and her peers wearing platform shoes and felt hats.
from her official website:
BE THE FILMMAKER TO CREATE THE FIRST AND ONLY VIDEO
FOR CARLY SIMON'S CLASSIC ROCK SONG "YOU'RE SO VAIN"
IN ASSOCIATION WITH AOL MUSIC'S SPINNER.COM
THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER WILL win $10,000, HAVE THEIR VIDEO PREMIERED AT THE 2010 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL, FEATURED ON AOL AND MEET CARLY SIMON IN-PERSON
Los Angeles, California. Thirty seven Decembers ago, pop songstress Carly Simon tore up the record charts with her single "You're So Vain." The song captured the number-one slot on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Adult Contemporary charts, and to this day remains one of the most popular classic rock songs of all time.
Perhaps more than any other track in pop music, the song's central mystery captivated the public. Ironically, even with all this speculation,
the song has never had a music video to accompany it.
To coincide with her critically-acclaimed latest release, NEVER BEEN GONE, fans and filmmakers are invited to submit a music video to accompany the newly recorded version of “You’re So Vain.” If you'd like to add elements of the original 1972 version of the song feel free, but your video has to incorporate at least some of the 2010 recording, making the most of the new footage that can be downloaded.
Carly will screen and judge all of the entries herself. The winning video will win $10,000, will be featured on AOL Music’s Spinner.com and screened at this years’ Tribeca Film Festival in April, where the winner will also have the opportunity meet Carly Simon.
To help fans and filmmakers out, Carly has created a template of optional tools which can be utilized in the creation of the video including recently shot green screen footage, stills, video blogs and more all of which can be found and downloaded.
