Kids these days don’t know what real shade is if they haven’t listened to Carly Simon’s original sassy breakup song, “You’re So Vain.” This song was supposedly an ode to Warren Beatty and let me tell you, it stung.

The chorus is all you need to know about the song. Simon’s song was the original subtweet. If you think it’s about you, it is.

When two singers break up it’s like Christmas morning. Double the heartbreak, double the songs.
