Sooooo overplayed. Not as bad as “Money” or “MTV” but it’s up there.

Mick Jagger did backup vocals?
I guess he didn’t think the song was about him after all.

Jagger’s voice easily stands out during the chorus.

Boys in the Trees is my favorite Carly Simon tune:

I forgot to mention Klaus Voormann also played bass on George Harrison's first solo album, "All Things Must Pass"
He also designed the cover for The Beatles' "Revolver" album.

That looks like Steven Tyler imitating Thulsa Doom turning into a snake.

I loved that album cover. Quite literally. As did many. Fortunately, most wiped it off afterward so it didn't get sticky.
Sticky Fingers is an entirely different album.
Well, not entirely, given that Jagger sang backup on You're So Vain.
So maybe there -is- a connection.....
