Melanie Safka’s “Brand New Key”
When first released, “Brand New Key” was banned by some radio stations because some saw sexual innuendo in the lyrics. It was a multi-million 70s tune. She had other top 40s hits but nothing like “I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates, You Got A Brand New Key”. It was one of those tunes you couldn’t get out of your mind.

I remember that well..BTW just Googled her...last year Miley Cyrus did a video of one of her songs..
“Brand New Key” was used in the film ‘Boogie Nights’. It was the first time I’d ever the song, and I glommed on to the innuendo right away.
I loved Melanie as a kid.
Loved her song “Lay Down”.
