I bought my 2 year old granddaughter a pair of roller skates and introduced her to this song. She is obsessed. She calls it her "special song". We have listened to/watched every version we can find. It's official - this is the best one! Disappointed her website is inactive.
***** she has a great version, but this is still awesome. Kaity's is high energy, short and meant to show her vocal range/abilties for an audition. Not even the whole song. Respect talent for what it is, not what it isn't.
After watch the Wal Mart people video, I told my wife of 43 years, that your singing style and voice reminded me of someone and then it hit me - you reminded me of Melanie and her song Brand New Key and to my wonderment I find this video - simply amazing - hope you go far - love your talent to make people smile and forget their troubles.
.You' re terrific, don't let anyone change your style and especially who you are. Refreshing young woman , full of life and joy !!!! You have a wonderful future ahead of you....hang in.
I think I was 11 or 12 when this song came out. It was played constantly on the radio and, where I remember it from, the roller skating rink! "Free Skate, all free Skate!" Excellent cover!
I so love this song may be my age coming out 35 whoa. But I do love it.. :-) You did a great job can't wait for you to Book Lincolns Sports Bar in Oak Ridge TN..
awesome!!! my mom always sings this song, she got me into it by getting this oldies tape back in 1999 and i have been in love with this song ever since!!
I just saw in your description, a link to Melanie's song for purchase. That is so cool, and thoughtful. As I'm sure you already know, the record label, and suits, fixed it so she never saw a dime from that song. She is a great talent, as are you. Bravo! You made me smile...
Your meeting with Melanie had to be a thrill for her because you have the same tone and the same flair she had 40, yes 40 years ago...... Awesome!!! Keep bringing it! So simple and natural - no steak outfits or giant shoe pianos!!!!!
I love this woman singing man she's amazing. She sings great. What a fantastic count they have on UA-cam. Thank you for this sounds better than the original.
This is a great cover and your voice fits it amazingly well! It is so unique, it does not sound like a cover. I LOVE IT! Your voice is a brand all itself. We need more singers like you and Ellie Goulding. You can't be duplicated and we know its you on the first note! Also, you are not auto-tuned which is fresh and real!
Great voice ! I love the idea of the drawings. You've got the perfect positive energy to sing this song. I am a Melanie fan, I can say that I love your cover, better than the original ? Maybe...
I first heard this song in 1972. I love it. this is a great cover. even though you should sound pouty on the "don't have no car part.You nailed the high parts!
Jessica, wow! I enjoy listening to you, very interesting voice, facial expressions and general open-ness about you. I'm glad I found you on here. Very well done!!
You are the best singer in the world so this is my favourite song cover everrrrrrrrr!you are the besttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🏅🏅🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎟🌠📷📸📸📸📸📸📽💶💶💶💰🗝🗝🗝🗝🗝📦📦📦📦💖💝💝💝💝💝💝🆒🆒🆒⬆️⬆️⬆️🔝🔝✔️✔️🏳️🌈🇦🇺
I feel so awesome. I just saw you on a TV commercial and I feel very special because I knew about you BEFORE that! Congratulations, by the way. YOU WERE ON A TV COMMERCIAL!
I subscribed to you awhile ago (and I felt good inside), but finally got around to catching up on your whole catalogue. Wow, even though I heard this song years before you were even born. I still feel like it was written for you. Great cover!

Ha ha that's adorable.
She is honestly an amzinging singer and she is absolutly BEAUTIFUL!
this will forever be my favorite cover of this song
It's not bad...

So cute
Your voice is perfect for this cover.
love the pots and pans background
Good Job! You got that jug band sound. And did Melanie proud!
OMG YOU ARE AMAZING
I play roller derby and this song has a cult fallowing among derby girls. Your version is great!
I think you do this song better than Melanie did it. Jessica you are a Nashville rising star,keep up the good works!

One of the better covers of this song, and there are not many.
Totes adorbs!
A surprisingly difficult song, but she makes it look easy. Understated, confident. Just so solid.
Well done!
Nice cover.
CUTE !

Bummed she stopped making music and singing. So talented and fun to watch.
