Mario Anthar from Tijuana, MexicoReply to Bryan of KY.If you ran the tape backwards, the first sound on the opening is a piano chord. Ron from Tyler, TxWhen I was in college, my roommate had a reel-to-reel tape player and this album on tape.Tanner from Fort Jones, CaI had heard that this song was about a ski run at tahoe called round about.When you listen closely you can hear the piano tone. My college roommate had a reel to reel tape recording of the song and he could play it backwards. Ron from Tyler, TxThe opening sound is a backwards recording of a piano chord.Tom from Marietta, OhBefore it was possible to look up the lyrics for this song on the internet, I always heard the chorus as, ".mallards come out of the sky, and they stand there." It actually makes more sense than the correct line, with a guy sitting on the shore of a lake, watching ducks fly down out of the sky and land.Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 6th 1972, "Roundabout" by Yes entered Billboard’s Hot Top 100 chart at position #88 and nine weeks later on April 9th, 1972 it peaked at #13.The usage of "Roundabout" within JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has additionally led to both it and the series' "To Be Continued" insert becoming a collective internet meme, in which videos feature the song's introductory guitar riff before coinciding with the "To Be Continued" insert. According to the director, "Roundabout" was one of many songs JoJo creator Hirohiko Araki listened to when he wrote the original manga. John from OhioIn 2012, "Roundabout" was used as the ending theme song for the first season of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime series.Bombers come out of the sky and they stand there." i used to think the lyrics were "in and around the lake. The song was perfect for the occasion and is what I remember most- it might have been the 4th of July.
A major fireworks show, accompanied by this song, could be seen and heard for miles.
We jumped in the car and drove for two hours. David Richardson from Glen Allen, VirginiaMy friend read in the newspaper a new band, YES, was playing at the Roanoke Civic Center.
It actually worked and all of a sudden we became famous, we had a hit record and more people came to see us, which was great, because then they would see the progression of music we'd been doing and they'd see us more as a band and not just wait for 'Roundabout.' Because we didn't do that 'Roundabout' in those days. We were busy being a band on the road, and then we heard the edit and we thought, 'Wow, that must have been a big pair of scissors to edit that song.' I mean, it was just totally wrong musically. In a Songfacts interview with Jon Anderson, he explained: "When we first heard the 'Roundabout' single, it was on the radio. The album version runs 8:29, but it was edited to 3:27 for release as a single, which climbed to #13 on the US Hot 100, giving the band their biggest hit until they eclipsed it with " Owner Of A Lonely Heart" in 1983. This was Yes' breakthrough hit and one of their most well-known songs, but the band wasn't looking for a hit at the time.
