The Circle Game(Description to follow)NOTE: This song by Buffy was featured in 'THE STRAWBERRY STATEMENT', a 1970 film about the counterculture and student revolts of the 1960s, ... loosely based on the Columbia University protests of 1968. --LYRICS--Yesterday a child came out to wonderCaught a dragonfly inside a jarFearful when the sky was full of thunderAnd tearful at the falling of a starThen the child moved ten times round the seasonsSkated over ten year frozen streamsWords like 'when you're older' must appease himAnd promises of 'someday' make his dreamsAnd the seasons, they go round and roundAnd the painted ponies go up and downWe're captive on a carousel of timeWe can't return, we can only look, behind from where we came And go round and round and round in the circle gameSixteen springs and sixteen summers gone nowCart wheels cross to car wheels through the townAnd you tell him take your time it won't be long now Till you drag your feet to slow those circles downSo the boy who dreamed tomorrow now is twentyThough his dreams have lost some grandeur, coming trueThere'll be new dreams maybe better dreams a plentyBefore the last revolving year is throughAnd the seasons they go round and roundAnd the painted ponies go up and downWe're captive on the carousel of timeWe can't return we can only look behind from where we cameAnd go round and round and round in the circle game

Agree completely. Completely devoid of the feeling necessary for a song like this.

Hit the nail on the head - this reminds a bit of the disco era when they made those horrible "dance mixes" of great rock songs.

I know. :)I listened this version a few more times and it's growing on me.

People differ in their opinions about whether Joni's version is better. All I say is that this is different. I love it. Heard this version first on the soundtrack for "Strawberry Statement," and played it over and over. I still have that album. This woman's voice is totally unique. She's an artist regardless of what anyone says.

Complete destruction of an extremely beautiful song.

The mix on this BSM recording is off on this youtube sound, but far from corny, it rocks with magic and Buffy's incomparable vocals (which joni practiced so hard to cop along with her Baez and Collins imitations-per joni herself)take it to the sky. Joni's interminable version is sadly very dated. Roberta (aka Joni) would have been better of coping Buffy's arrangement as she widely choose to do with her cover of Buffy's original recording of JM's excellent composition "SONG TO A SEAGUL".

Boring campfire version?...perhaps but at least Joni's version doesn't sound like an "Up With People" sing along.

I'm reminded of what Jules said in Pulp Fiction: Allow me to retort! For me, it's Joni, mate ... that's all I'm saying.
