Yes, add the title of the song. As in: You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you. So, if someone thinks that the song is about them, then not only are they vain, but they're not who the song is about.

It's a mystery who the song is actually about. This has been going on since the late 1970s, and we've officially stopped caring because I don't think Carly Simon ever said who the song was about. I thought there were rumors once about her song being about Warren Beatty, but I might be wrong.

Peaches - Nina Simone

Edit: ok, so just looked it up and the song is actually called 4 women. Has to get an honorary mention though because, well, Nina Simone

Yes that’s literally the point of the song. She is pointing out this little paradox. The person is so vain, that when they hear a song, they think it is about them. Is it? Is it not? It’s both and neither. That’s the point. It’s just a clever little line
