her bloody "friend" Streisand.

You mean Middler.

Middler?

Great minds and all that. :)

Assuming you were not a bad person in the first place.

I thought it could be an indicator.

Quote: EllieJP @ June 18 2009, 1:13 PM BST

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

They played that song 5 times a day in Cuba. *shudder*

This song makes me laugh for that reason. She's all "I'm all so great, and you were the loser stood behind"... it's like the Queen and her Hubby.

I like that other song...
"You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you..."

Well durrrr!

Oh god... :|

Bette Middler, yes. Teary

Streisand's just as bad though. And the law of odds states that there must be a Streissand film where Debra Winger dies. Winger dies in everything.

Apparently written about Warren Beatty...
:O

As in Middler the road. *f**ks off sharpish*

She was good in Misery.

Bates?

Yeah, she acted Richard Dreyfuss off the screen.

I always thought that too. He's not actually being vain to assume the song is about him if the song is about him, surely? He's just being correct.

"Yes, you're quite correct in your assumption,
This song is definitely about you and our difficult relationship"

Is how it should have gone.

Who was excellent in Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Agree. Doesn't scan, but what price accuracy?
Don't bother writing to Carley Simon though, she only whines to her lawyers.

If she was that bitter about this guy, it would have saved a lot of confusion if she'd taken the women's easiest form of revenge and written a song that went,
"You're so small, your cock barely fits in my fanny". Simple.

Along with X-factor winner, Alexandra, who "whited-up" very well, I thought.

But that'd mean his cock was large wouldn't it? Now if it barely touched the sides, that's different.

"You're so small, it's like flicking a fag down the High Street..."

I'm trying to help Carly by making sure it scans!

"You're so small, your cock barely enters my fanny" ? Happy now?
