[pegcage]

This is metaphor. You learn about metaphor in literature class.

[zenwhips]

Roller skates from the 60s were made of metal and were "1 size fits all" by being in 2 parts, the front and the back. Each pair came with a key which, once the two sliding parts were adjusted to fit your foot, lengthwise, was inserted into the side and turned til the bracket closed around the sides, keeping the front and back from sliding apart. If you lost the key, you couldn't use the skates anymore.

[ZBoonify]

The song is talking about quad skates, which are fastened by a screw. The key that is talked about is possibly the screw to adjust the skates. Probably and innuendo for sexual intercourse.

[Maddybourne]

I saw 'em in Glasgow the other day. They were supporting Bowling For Soup. X) They played this X)

[XxZanessaforeverxX]

I love this song! I saw them last night! They were one of the warm up bands for Bowling For soup! I felt privileged to be at their first ever time they've played in the UK!

[quiltbee]

oh yes..totally love this tune too..thank you much......

[sexonthebeach003]

so this is a stab in the dark but..does anyone know who did i cover of this version its from like the 90's and it was on some kids cd? probably not but i thought id try..

[SpatulaErotica]

sweet butterscotch flavored christ this version sucks

[ozpreyarnold]

Absolutely fantastic. These guys just got another fan

[jakiblue]

I am turning 50 this week. I love my Melanie; but, I also love her music brought to life in a different light in this millinium.

[99sco]

this sucks they wreck it.

anyone who likes this better dos'nt

like real music

[Bligh4]

I was about when the Melanie original came out- and I prefer this one!!

[jakiblue]

@Bligh4 ditto

[BIGSGC]

hahahahhaa gave me a down thumb cause i like this song lmfao....how stupid

[BIGSGC]

i prefer this version actually...much better to me

[holmsatlarge]

children with some taste,reducing a charming song into noise.but perhaps it will encourage some to find the original Melanie Safka. ;_))

[the1musiclad]

yeah thats what i hope too - the original was better.

this is a decent attempt though.

[BIGSGC]

i kinda like the noise =/

[girfactor]

Actually I like it. And it's not all that noisy. At least you understand what they're singing. XD

[holmsatlarge]

just a cranky morning,didn`t mean to upset.;-)=)

[girfactor]

You didn't upset me. :) I actually like the version Rasputina did. O: But it's okay. I think really if it was between the three, I would definitely choose Rasputina's version and the original version over this one.

[holmsatlarge]

Agreed.Enjoy life...it`s short::-))

[girfactor]

Exactly. :)

[mspratz]

It's got nothing on the 'Wurlitzers' version'!!!

[quiltbee]

umm....well i like the old version by melanie the best..but wow this is great too....good beat....thanks alot.....

[jozfpat]

No Melanie's version is way better.

[TheSpacemadness]

@quiltbee yh my dad put this on and was kinda disapointed cuz he likes the old version this is k too tho

[SallyBones38]

That was great. I love the old version, but this is awesome too.

[darkmetallica]

oh i've got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key

Come on now, let's get together

In perfect harmony

I got 20 acres and you got 43

Now I got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key.

[4reyrey4]

can anyone tell me what this song is about! lol i love it..its just idk what its actually about..lol

[bribwild]

That, I cannot answer lol

[Orfling]

Melanie, the original singer-songwriter, denied sexual overtones, but . . . um . . . most people think they are pretty overt!  But, either way, whether a hymn to roller skating or to the Sexual Revolution, it's a fun song and the Dollyrots cover is great.

[macbean10000]

to get skates on and off, one needed a "key" that had a wrench like thing at the end. That is what the song is about. Look at alecwally23's video for visuals.

[spicycello]

@4reyrey4 in the 70's i think, rollerskates needed a key to wind them up, i dont really know what for, i wasnt alive then haha, but yeah, since this song is originaly form the 70's it makes sense.

[J8neSez]

@spicycello actually the older version of roller skates,were the kind that you put on and attach to your sneakers. they had a key to lock them on your shoes,if you lost the key you had to basically rip your shoes off and break your skates....so as she is singing i got a brand new pair of roller skates you got a brand new key...its like her saying i cant live without you,as in we make a great pair.;..

[spicycello]

@J8neSez thanks! that sounds cool, i wish we still had that, so you dont have to buy giant clunky boots haha! that makes more sense than "winding them up" yeah, i didnt understand it when my mom explained it.

[TristanandIsolt]

@4reyrey4 It's about sex. You just need to put it all together. This is a fun update but certainly not as good as the original. Thanks for keeping it alive.

[colorfulanguage]

@4reyrey4

I think she's stalking him

she keeps going past his window

he's avoiding her

and he keeps buying new (house) keys

it's pretty straight forward...

[KittyKattyYukiLvr]

@4reyrey4 sex. Idk, actually, that's just my answer for everything lol.

[UnknownDarknessOfLuv]

hey can you send me this song please

[arlyon06]

This is fun! I've never heard the song done like this before. They did a great job!

[zanne40]

i saw this band in New York a little over a year ago. They were playing at the Knitting Factory.

[billab0ng21]

WOHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOim so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! people!!!!!!!!!yeah

[SaMrUlEsThEsChOoLs]

I LUV THIS VERSION!! catchy i can tell u tht

[KARAOKEANDSTUFF4U]

The original one version of this song I first heard when I was about 6 years old. It is such a fun song. Melanie did a great job, but this group is the only other I've heard to even come close to doing this great song justice. I love the acoustical and radio original version of this song. I also think this version deserves to be on the radio. I'm very impressed. Excellent job!

[jaguar043786]

I personally like this song, but one question for those who think the song is annoying or don't like it:

Why are you listening to it in the first place?

[bribwild]

I'd like to personally thank Jaguar on this one, I'm tired of all the comments I get about how people hate the song. If you dont like it, why are you commenting about how you dont like it? Do you think you're going to change someones opinion on the song, I doubt that. Once again thanks Jaguar, we need more people like you.

~Bribwild

[SourApple26]

omg your totally right. why do haters go out of there way to watch this when they hate it in the first place?

[jaguar043786]

Exactly, I mean you are just wasting your time watching if you don't like the song. I think they did a great job and prefer their version over the original, but that is just me, it's all personal preference.

[SourApple26]

yh same here the origional version is alright but i like this one so much better. dont know why though? lol. it might be her voice with the guitars? who knows =3

[jaguar043786]

I think it is the background instruments that does it for me. The original is just her with her guitar, I feel the other instruments and the more rock version of it is more attractive to me than just one person singing it.

[SourApple26]

yh i think your right its really the intruments that make it that much more intressting.

[bribwild]

It's so much more hardcore rofl

[SimplySuperxx]

Wow, They Have Done An Amazing Copy Of This!

[aubbbbs]

this song is annoying as SHIT.

[truelemongirl]

why are you listening to it then? you must like it ALOT if your going on youtube and listening to it!

[Murhder]

hmmm I think I prefer Melanie's original version much much more...

[bribwild]

Well thats your opinion, next time, keep it to yourself

Thanx, Bri~

[SingingFreeze]

i really love this version!

[TaylorRae69]

you guys are GREAT you took an oldie and made it a goodie!!! for this time you have a wonderful voice!!!!!

[vcomp1960]

Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was 12 or 13 when I first heard this song, back in the early 70's.

[stealthwalnut]

This really rocks. Makes me nose bleed.

[bribwild]

Hey people I'd really like to thank everyone who subscribed, commented, rated and just plain watched~! You're all so great!!

[emenemily15]

[dreamswonder2]

Yeah i didn't either until i once looked the song up on wikipedia and found out the original singer and songwriter was a folk singer named Melanie Safka. it was also called the rollerskate song or something like that, i don't like how the original sounds but just type in Melanie Safka - brand new key

[SarinaKatz]
