When you really stop to think about it, some of our fondest memories surround music. After all, music is something that is constant in our lives and ever since the time we were little babies, we were able to understand the music and even dance along. As we got older, music began to take on an even deeper meaning and by the time we were teenagers, we were living our lives according to the popular music of that day.
If you are one of those individuals that loves the 70s and thinks that they don’t write music like that anymore, you will appreciate this song. It was written by folksinger Melanie, and the song is called Brand-New Key, but most people refer to it as the rollerskates song.
This song was amazingly popular and it was her largest hit. As a matter of fact, it hit number one on the Billboard hot 100 Singles Chart way back in December 1971. The following month, it reached number one in Canada and Australia and even was number four on the UK charts. You will appreciate the lighthearted tune and you just can’t help but sing along.
