I actually loved it myself and the video blew me away because of the clips. I couldn't get enough of it, though it made me yearn.
It's funny, there are some things that you see and you react to them because they brought you pleasure in the past, but when you see them now what you feel is not joy in the nostalgia, it's almost painful. Joy is fleeting and when you recall it, you don't experience the happiness again. Pleasure leaves a sad aftertaste.
Some people mock the circus music, but it's rollicking to me and I think some of Stevie's best lines are in there. Being in and out of love with her is being in and out of agony. And the line "yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else," made me shipper silly (sunflowers and your face).
I don't remember hearing Paper Doll on the radio in Los Angeles, but I saw the video on tv quite often.
