thumbs up if you heard this on jackass 3

[KronosOneOfficial]

I love this song just because when it comes on at work, everybody's like "omg I hate the fuck out of this song!" it's hilarious lmao

[CaptainDuke71]

the key was used to open a new hole u fool

[DigJam53]

hate to break this open for you,, but this song is a metaphor,, old skates had a hole in the bottom,, and the key,, well,, would be inserted and turned to tighten the clamps on your shoes,, get it?

[TheCandyHole]

@DigJam53 wow, songs back in that day alluded to sex?? No way, thanks for the enlightenment there chief. what's next, songs are about drugs now??

[Montoyamommy]

I am 20 years old and this is what i call good music!!!!! Been a fave or years! :)

[Hustlerae]

@Montoyamommy totally!!

[dianasiebels]

I have always loved this song and still do.



[HomelessAdventurers]

This song reminds me of Ryan Dunn...

[P1NKF70YD]

[TheCandyHole]

[conan566]

Yea she's really pretty my favorite song when I was a kid at five years old I listen to my transistor radio all night for this song Conan in Jonesboro,Ar.

[FightsRightsAlways]

lol this sure is catchy.i see why they used it for the chubby baby moving through hyper space.

[5KVNQW0RK5]

THIS SONGS ABOUT FUCKING

[heatherblake67]

I was 4 when this came out, I had it on a 45...absolutely love lovvvve this! Still do!

[MrTruthhurts777]

Man, this reminds me of the glorious days of the 60's. What a great time to be alive; best music era...ever! I should know as I was 4 yrs old back then and knew everything. Think I had a crush on her too. LOL

[goldtop68]

man..today's music ...I don't want it...how simple and great this was in '71

[xodis911]

[tessawessa12]

lol this is kinda anoyyying

[Jdo4031]

Number one song when my wife and I were borne.

[billd2504]

@Jdo4031 Ha! Dec 19th 1971! Almost funny but kind of sad, the day I was born and this song!

[SpazzyD608]

I didnt even know it was a real song till I heard it on 101.9 Sunday..My mom and I were dyin laughin lol..but its a cute song none the less <3

[poeboy2]

I was born 1/8/1972 and this song was number one at the time. They just don't make them like this any more, such a shame.

[SingersLeader]

@poeboy2 Thank HEAVENS they don't make 'em like this any more. It was annoying to hear this OVER and OVER and OVER again in the Top 40 on WLS-AM radio back then and it's just as annoying of a song as it was back then!!!

[poeboy2]

@SingersLeader Well you either like a song or you don't. Most of the recent big hits have been annoying from my point of view, but there are gems here and there. Just one question though, if the song was annoying back then to you, then why are you on this page? Just curious.

[SingersLeader]

@poeboy2 The 70's era of songs came up in a discussion amongst my other music friends, with me basically stating the overall eclectic nature of what made it into the Top 40 on huge radio stations like WLS here in the Chicago area. I mentioned "Brand New Key" as an example of the irritating vocal quality & the annoying "ear worm" aspect of this song. So I searched YouTube for this song if only to listen in one more time & remind myself of my opinion(s) which haven't changed in 40 years.

[SuperKingDonkey]

Oh wow I heard this tune ages ago, so this is what it is...

Next.

[SingersLeader]

@SuperKingDonkey I fully agree. Next. ;-)

[aim0324]

#1 song in 1972 Along with "American Pie". Had both 45s!

[jgstargazer]

@aim0324 "how do you do" and "dead skunk in the middle of the road" come to mind that were on the radio at about the same time.

[aim0324]

@jgstargazer don't think i've heard of those. gonna look them up. curious now!

[TheGreeninja22]

I <3 rollergirl

[SingersLeader]

@TheGreeninja22 Rollergirl was cute but her voice quality was "whiny". Glad to hear she moved on from the music biz and opened a restaurant. ;-)

[GentCastle]

Cute =)

[jaimemaf]

have a nice sex day!

[MattTheSmiths]

The Wurzels bought me here.

[JustifyGravity]

[Astrobeej]

Hint for the slow: this song *isn't* about roller skating at all...

[72ERIK]

[Chargersman77]

@Astrobeej i'll be honest i never assumed that, but someone tell me what it's about?

[Gabbykinsss]

Thumbs up if you don't give a damn where you heard this first and you're too busy listening to a great song by a great singer. Still don't get the lyrics, though.

[kagurathemonkey]

@hardyfh1 A while back, you used to have to have a key to use roller skates. That's what up with the roller skates and key part of the song.

[cccccody14]

Thumbs up if you tried finding this song after watching Jackass 3

[coldplay5959]

thumbs up if your listening in 2011 (:

[johnnieknown]

LOL i'm old enuff to know that this song is NOT about roller skatin"..

[SqueesitPlease]

@johnnieknown dude, i know... Its about the ol man rod and squish mitten, the nether bone and meat garage etc etc.. but if you had watched the video that i did you would realise that my comment is a subtle reference to "Rolling In AquaPark" which is a highly viewed video on rollerblading in a water park that uses this song

[cetras56]

@SqueesitPlease wth?

[SqueesitPlease]

@cetras56 are you stupid, boy?

[cetras56]

@SqueesitPlease umm excuse me? whats your problem? did you just come up on one of the first comments and decide to discriminate against whoever you feel like?

[SqueesitPlease]

@cetras56 your making no sense. I suggest you see a doctor about that

[riothero313]

@johnnieknown :O it's not ?!

[johnnieknown]

@riothero313 uhhh nope... SEX!!

[SqueesitPlease]

water park rollerblading is so not gay.

[livin4thethunder]

[SovereignStatesman]

Thumbs up if you heard this song on "Boogie Nights" LOL

[xer05tar]

Heather Grahams tits brought me here.

[Browneyedelf20]

[Caboose2214]

This is stuck in my head... And Johnny Knoxville is dancing in there as well.

[andy13417]

This tune has grown on me ! Awesome voice that she has indeed !

[MrThetronica]

-.- *makes a comment about how he heard this on Jackass 3 and gets a bundle of jackasses thumbing me up* yah... that won't happen, because I am not going to watch a bundle of idiots at a movie, or on a movie when I see the same idiots doing their shit here. It's more like this song is so awesome I heard it before Jackass 3 came out. Hell even before Jackass: The Movie came out I heard it. And then I was reminded of it on the radio.

[pursomeneace]

luv this song

[r7n7]

Here I thought it was some 90lb. guy sucking on a helium balloon.

[JOLENE2008]

dedicated to my sister she use to have this on a 45? and i remember as a little girl we would play this over and over, now i am reaching 40 and i still love this song cheers

[dubstepprincessXD]

NO thumbs up, but isnt it the baby commercial that brought most of us here?

[LaurelVentura]

LOL I had no idea The Wurzels' Combine Harvester was a parody version of another song.

[DPAAA21]

thanks for making me hate a cute baby with your annoying song, re the HP commercial

[dubstepprincessXD]

@DPAAA21 this song is good and ou are dumb! its called culture! damn.

[cajoby]

my roller skates brought me here

[manco82]

I just heard this on the HP Printer commercial!

[joeyelmer]

Just when I thought I had found all those old songs I used to and still do love I found this gem!

[lilshadowman1]

THUMBS UP IF YOU HEARD THIS ON THE HP PRINTER COMMERCIAL!

[TheCactusjack1]

@lilshadowman1 oh yeh iv seen that

[dogfreak1316]

I wish there were still artist out there today that made classic's as good as this. Don't get me wrong I love pop songs by LMFAO and B.O.B. but non of the pop singers have ever made a REAL classic that will live on forever.

[allrequiredfields]

Please shut the fuck up about whatever the hell brought you here.

[MrThetronica]

Thumbs up if Jackass 3 didn't bring you here... How about you Thumb up if you heard this song before any crappy movie came about and that you just wanted to hear it again.

[Broodmarish]

If you wanna hear a modern-day compatriot of this song(imo) search Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - Bag of Hammers.

[POBulkhead]

Brother bought a coconut he bought it for a dime

his sister had another one she paid it for the lime

[jtjjbannie]

I favorited this because it sounded great without a vidio.

I like my imagination.........

[sethutkc350]

What a bouncy tune for a creepy song. :)

[FuZioNisG]

Did Boogie Nights bring anyone but me? :(

[inshreds45]

Just listening to my copy of the single and then to this and the last word sounds more like "Chi" rather than "Key", but I can find no reference to this on the internet. Can anyone else hear that word or know if it is?

[ireneobien1954]

@inshreds45 Way back when, rollerskates were metal and they attached to your shoes. The "Key" tightened the skates to fit your shoes. You would not outgrow your skates because they were length adjustable, too. Remember, this was when the Baby Boomers were kids. Folks had tons of kids post WWII. Who could afford to buy fitted skates like today for all those kids? The word "Chi" is a form of energy or life in China.

[inshreds45]

@ireneobien1954 thanks for that but I knew all about skates as I had some but it had a wingnut to extend them and I know what Chi is which is why I thought it would fit the idea of the song especially from the era it was recorded, It does say Chi I'm certain.

[Nails308]

wow....havent heard this sound since I was knee high to a grass hopper. Great job.

[mariesdispatch]

blahhhhhhhh



[geobruf123]

this sounds so much better in mono. stereo version is shit!

[TheDandaman52]

Melanie was such a great singer, and so beautiful inside and out back then; and still is to this day. I still have her album and play it from time to time to relive the "good ole days"! God Bless you Melanie!

[Wyocaveman]

Wow! I hadn't heard this great song since the early 70's when it was playing on the radio. No iPods back then...LOL We did have 8-tracks though! "State of the art" tech in those days. Anyway, My parents owned & operated a skating rink at the time (I patrolled the floor, making sure everyone skated safely) and this was one of the songs that we played to skate by. ;o)

[OtisCallsItGood]

God, I used to hate this song when my parents put it on.

Now, I actually find myself revisiting my child hood songs and I like this, it's amazingly catchy

[JamesVGC]

Thumbs up if Jackass 3 brought you here! I LOVE JACKASS sex babyThanks for posting this!! When this song came out I was about 17 or 18 with a very popular local band in Southern California. I instantly fell in love with her and also with a very young Linda Ronstadt who was just coming into her own after the Stone Ponys (Different Drum, Long, Long, Time etc) Great times and a definitely nice journey to that part of my life. THANKS!!
