The Lyrics
Uh...just an ode to me...because I am my biggest fan...=)
Someone said when I was born
"Angels must have cause to mourn
They'll miss--such a sweet, beautiful face"
I walk by and people say
"A Goddess just passed my way"
My face--envious gossip fodder
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way
Yesterday I caused a wreck
Drivers always strain their necks
I know--watching me walk down the street
It's not easy, heaven knows
But I deal with how life goes
I know--I'm an eighth world wonder
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way
Yeah!
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way
"Angels must have cause to mourn
They'll miss--such a sweet, beautiful face"
I walk by and people say
"A Goddess just passed my way"
My face--envious gossip fodder
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way
Yesterday I caused a wreck
Drivers always strain their necks
I know--watching me walk down the street
It's not easy, heaven knows
But I deal with how life goes
I know--I'm an eighth world wonder
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way
Yeah!
I want to know
Do you really think I'm vain?
Say yes or no
Do you really think I'm vain?
I am perfect either way

Vanity, thy name is Arwen. Just as long as you're not one of those Vain Slobs who Keep Pourin' On Their Head.
I've always loved them cute little pointed ears. 555
This was great! (and you prob'ly think this comment's about you...) ;-)
Thanks all...=) Merry, I actually have a parody of "You're So Vain" that I wrote about a friend of mine and myself...but I've never submitted it because it's so personal the rest of you might not think it's hilarious... but believe me...it is! THANKS AGAIN!!
Arwen, Good job. I'd tell you to give yourself a pat on the back but it's probably already sore there from doing that too much.
LOL, I can totally relate! In case you didn't guess it from my screen name, I'm pretty vain myself...
You are the best, Arwen...but you don't need me to tell you that! 555 :-)
PAUL...my back is actually constantly sore...but I'm not sure if it's because I pat it so often, or if it's because I broke it doing a dance routine in the 8th grade. ASHKICKSASS...of course you can totally relate. I told you once that I was pretty sure that we are kindred...and KRISTOF...while I am quite certain of my "bestness" I DO need you to tell me all about it...because the biggest egos need the most coddling! Thanks a ton!!!
Restoring my vote of 555.
Oh Johnny! Thanks!
Oh Arwen! You're welcome! NOW POUT FOR ME! ;-D
(ABC 2005) Good one.
(ABC05) 'Tis better to have loved than not loved at all.
(ABC 2005) But what I really like about you is your modesty.
(ABC05)I'm so vain i probably thought this song was about me ; )
(ABC-D) If I wasn't so modest I'd put a plug in here for my my entry in this contest. Nice piece Arwen.
D: We don't think, we know -- but it's part of your charm. :) This was cute and so "you"!
(ABC) See above.
(ABC) no, of course you're not vain - only if you think this song is about you
Beauty in a jugular vain. 555 for our glorious goddess.
(ABC) Perfect
And the song's great, too
And the song's great, too
(ABC) Still, lovely, Divine Goddess.
(ABC-D) To answer your question; no, I don't think you're vain. I think you just like playing the part. :-)
Excellent, Arwen. Can't believe I haven't commented already
(ABC) I feel a little inadequate.
Oooh, a song before I knew you. I didn't realize you were so modest way back then =)
(SOTM) Above
oops disregard above...
nice song ... and it elicited some very funny comments!
(Ego Parody Contest) See above
Thanks, Johnny...=) I saw your vote, too...I really appreciate it!
(Ego Parody Contest) Funny and fives worthy.
(EGO) Still a classic.
(EGO) - gee, you and I have exactly the same problem Arwen - and hey, were you on the skislopes that day Sonny Bono was up there? (just a theory)
(EGO) My gawd! This is the THIRD time I've commented on this! Is there no end to your ego, woman? ;-)
EGO-- Yes. Yes I do think you're vain. Do I care? Not when it's as funny as this. Great job, Arwen. Now get over yourself! :)
My, you certainly are a gerbil. I mean, a doorbell. I mean, adorable. Well done and you sure inspired some great comments too.
EGO: See above, and still well done!
