BRYAN: Funny, isn't it, about DANCIN' CLOWN? I've always liked it myself. It's a rather affectionate throwaway. It really MOVES. I think Billy and Tom really belong in the mix.
And I like the lyrics. Like, especially, "You hear the SWOOSH of jungle blades / And the crackle of northern ice." (Have you seen the video? Joni and one of her beloved cats? It's really funny and sweet.) To each his own, I guess. In any case: you're not alone. ;-) Personally, when playing CMIARS, I tend to skip LAKOTA (shrill), TEA LEAF (wonderful story; nothing melody -- pity) , COOL WATER (blah) and REOCCURING DREAM (banal).
