It's nice to see somebody else that appreciates Janis Ian.

No, that one goes in the thread about crew wages:

pity, please, the ones who serve/'Cause they only get what they deserve...

It's the Road to Paradise!

And I hadn't noticed it was Karla in the video.  Ellen was feisty!

BTW it's Karla DeVito in the video, but she's not on the record (and it's not her voice on the video). The actual female vocal was done by Ellen Foley, who later played the defense attorney in the early years of NBC's "Night Court".
