The Entries - Parody Contest 2003

Sung to the tune (if you can call it that) of Carly Simon's You're So Vain:


You logged into the server
Like you were walking into a bar
Your motto strategically placed below each line
Your persona in an avatar
You had one eye on the screen
And you watched yourself reply
And all the socks dreamed that they'd be your board crush
They'd be your board crush, and

You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this post is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I saw you several years ago
When I was still quite “newbie”
Well I thought you had such a clever wit
And your posts I just had to read
But you’ve rested on your well-worn schtick
And now you’re just a self parody
I had some socks they were names in my office
Names in my office, and

You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this post is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I had some socks they were names in my office
Names in my office, and

You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this post is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this post is about you

You're so vain (so vain)
I'll bet you think this post is about you
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?
