I doubt it seriously. Autotune came out in 1997 so the bulk of her work is before it was even released. She has had the perfect pitch for alot longer than that.

For my money it's one of Joni's weakest songs ever - possibly her "novelty" song, and a more than a little bit embarrassing given the class of her other music. I don't quite wish I never heard BYT again, but I don't think I would miss it if I didn't. however, when it comes to #8 on his list - "imagine", I can honestly say that I wish I had never heard it at all.......man I loathe that "song" Ron Np - arlo Guthrie - city of new orleans ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:30:51 -0500 From: Happy The Man Subject: Big Yellow Taxi Tom Hawking's Shit List Tom Hawking (Atlantic Monthly) list Big Yellow Taxi #6 on his "10 Classic Rock Songs We Never Want to Hear Again". http://flavorwire.com/283549/10-classic-rock-songs-we-never-want-to-hear-agai n#6 He Says, "Its something of an indictment on the 60s and hippiedom in general that the closest thing it ever mustered to an environmental rallying cry was a discussion of those tiresome Hawaiians deciding to develop their land, thus ruining Joni Mitchells holiday. And if Mitchells oh-Im-so-carefree laugh at the end of the song hasnt started to grate on you after about the hundredth listen, well, youre more even-tempered than us, put it that way." I like that he attaches the song so you can listen to it.
