Carly Simon. You're so Vain
Carly Simon's depiction of Warren Beatty's self-absorbtion is a classic musical character assassination, backed by a great groove (with backing vocals from Mick Jagger), which builds to a crescendo. From the burbling bass at the start the lilting stop-start groove offers a great foil for Simon's vocals, and includes one of the great sing-a-long choruses of all time.
