Subject of the song was actually a wealthy ex-boyfriend of Daryl Hall’s long term girlfriend Sara Allen (H&O’s song Sara Smile is about Allen) but songs about rich boys don’t sell well so it was changed to ‘rich girl’ instead. I think the ex-bf’s name is known, or at least some people who speculate about crap like this and whoever Carly Simon was singing about have some pretty good guesses. I can’t be fucked to look it up, I’m just doing this off memory.

Anyway, it’s a good song.
