I'm sitting here in class looking around and everyone's on their computer looking up lamb of god, chiodos, and all kinds of other new music, and scream-o......and i'm sitting here listening to melanie safka and other 60's music, and I wonder, what's happened to the music today?

I like this cute little ditty a lot - had the 45 when I was 6 years old. However, in recent years I've wondered if this isn't one of those songs with a "hidden" meaning? After all, why wouldn't she have the key for the hole on the bottoms her brand new roller skates?

@kungfuru1 She is talking about rollerskates, and back when this song was made, roller skates fit around the shoes. So on this bottom of the skates, a key was pushed into a keyhole. When the key was turned, the skates would tighten to fit the shoe. When they would but skates they came with a key to tighten the skates. However, the skates would loosen very easily, so skaters would wear the key around their neck.

Could some one tell me what the meaning of "brand new key" is?

Oh my God! I love this song. The 60's & 70 the best decades for music ever. I remember this song so fondly as a boy of 5 & 6. Thank you Melanie for your sweetness.
