A few days ago a friend sent me a link to Meck's club remix of Dusty Springfield's version of this song. Funny, because recently on TCM I recorded the original Thomas Crown Affair from 1968 with two of my favorite old school actors Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.
Alan and Marilyn Bergman wrote the lyrics and Michel Legrand wrote the score. Noel Harrison performed it on the soundtrack and it won Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1968.
My favorite version is this one and Dusty's remake. The lyrics are about one's mental state after a break-up and how thoughts and memories can go round and round in circles in our mind. I love the vivid imagery and the melancholic/nostalgic state it puts me in. I was so young when I first saw the film. My father loved this song and the movie. This is NOT the whole song, just the part from the movie.
