I’ll tell you what the REAL revelation was. I just looked up “gavotte”.
From Wiki:
“Carly Simon’s song “You’re So Vain” includes the lyric “You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte”, in this context it can be taken to mean a pretentious or egotistical style of dancing.”
And all these years I assumed it was a slang term for... y’know, playing with oneself.
However, I can easily imagine David Geffen watching himself dancing and prancing in the mirror.
What were “the clouds in my coffee?” or was it “clowns in my coffee?” or “grounds in my coffee”?
