I make this video is for my Yahoo! 360 Blog, My favourite music, My music world ... A tribute to Janis Ian ...Janis Ian Official Site http://www.janisian.com/index.... Janis IanAlbum: Between the Lines 1975Song: At SeventeenI learned the truth at seventeenThat love was meant for beauty queensAnd high school girls with clear skinned smilesWho married young and then retiredThe valentines I never knewThe Friday night charades of youthWere spent on one more beautifulAt seventeen I learned the truthAnd those of us with ravaged facesLacking in the social gracesDesperately remained at homeInventing lovers on the phoneWho called to say come dance with meAnd murmured vague obscenitiesIt isn't all it seemsAt seventeenA brown eyed girl in hand me downsWhose name I never could pronounceSaid, pity please the ones who serveThey only get what they deserveThe rich relationed hometown queenMarried into what she needsA guarantee of companyAnd haven for the elderlyRemember those who win the gameLose the love they sought to gainIndebentures of qualityAnd dubious integrityTheir small town eyes will gape at youIn dull surprise when payment dueExceeds accounts receivedAt seventeenTo those of us who know the painOf valentines that never cameAnd those whose names were never calledWhen choosing sides for basketballIt was long ago and far awayThe world was younger than todayAnd dreams were all they gave for freeTo ugly duckling girls like meWe all play the game and when we dareTo cheat ourselves at solitaireInventing lovers on the phoneRepenting other lives unknownThat call and say, come dance with meAnd murmur vague obscenitiesAt ugly girls like meAt seventeen*Janis IanJanis Ian (born April 7, 1951[1]) is a Grammy Award-winning American songwriter, singer, multi-instrumental musician, columnist, and science fiction author.

What a GREAT Song, so sad and painful.I don't know if Janis Ian had any other "Big" songs except for this one. I wonder where she is now.

i remember singing this song over and over again driving my sister. At the age of 17, I remember feeling every word Janice sang. I did not even know Celine Dion sung this song. I love her vocal abilities. I got to check out her interpretation of this song.

Janis loved Celine's version. I sent Janis a personal e-mail thanking her for such a wonderful song. She wrote back and stated that she loved Celine's version. Lighten up, people. Exposure only keeps music of this quality alive.

I disagree. Because of Celine, I discovered this wonderful song and the lovely Janis Ian. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Celine stated that she relates to this song because she always felt like an ugly duckling growing up.

Personally, I think it's obscene that Celine Dion covered this song.Firstly, it's the greatest song ever written by a woman. Secondly, the lyrics are deeply personal. Finally, I don't believe Celine could relate to it, having recorded seven albums by the time she was seventeen.

i agree.... esp when this song is brought back today in 2008 and pays a tribute to janis ian.

I like this slow. the only version i've heard is D.H.T's, and hers is fast and techno-y sounding. i like both versions.

im sure Janis would like Celine's version.
