I've always loved this song. Back when it came out roller skates were affixed to your shoes using a key to tighten the clamp. Melanie is a great singer check out her song "Look what they've done to my song."
I hadn't heard her rendition, she sings it in a powerful fashion. I never really thought about it before, but listening to Melanie's cover, I realized it's an anthem for so many musical artists.
This video makes me happy especially after you watch the original one. Those "tender" feelings at such a young age can be pretty devastating!! I love to watch these girls skate. It also empowering to young women as a culture. You have to feel pretty good about yourself when you have the confidence to do that!!! You go girls!!!🙂🙃😉👍👏
I wrote a song called ROLLER ⭐ GIRL There really is something different about these young ladies who ride roller skates I admire them and was very moved to see you I had previously written a song in honor of CALIFORNIA GIRLS Congratulations girls, you are the best. The song was a perfect fit GOD bless you. ALEX METZZHER SINGER AND SONGWRITHER
THESE GIRLS R GREAT!! I only wish I could do this today!! I'm sure if I had practice & all MAYBE!! SOME MOVES I COULD?? 🎉 THKS GIRLS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT FOR A SOON TO BE 70 YR OLD. ❤😊🎉🎉😊 ❤❤
Classic early 70's song about reaching puberty and raging hormones... "I'm okay alone but you got something I need" and "I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car ...Don't go too fast but I go pretty far"... I was 12 years old when this song came out...and that's the way I heard the lyrics...
😮😮😮 How in the WORLD are the lyrics about puberty and raging hormones?! The lyrics are exactly as you wrote and they're about a key that tightens the skate to your shoe. What in the WORLD are you even thinking?!
Excellent song 4 this video!! I remember when this song first came out & I was just a kid. Later, in my early teens during the early 80's I lived at the skating rink & we were responsible 4 the freestyle skating!! Good times!! You girls are KILLING it!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
- 😮😮😮 How can Sara Beth own the song when Melanie is the original artist? Wait. I have a copy of this song too so I own it too. Are you saying Sara Beth also owns a copy of Melanie's song? How do you know? Is Sara Beth your friend or relative? Who the heck is Sara Beth anyway? - If Sara Beth is singer then you should LINKIFY then!
This shows wonderful integration of gymnastics and skating; for a view of a martial artist on skates, look up Moon Lee beating the crap out of a thug while on skates
😮😮😮 The video cuts exist for one reason: to keep the fit & pretty ones in focus. If you show the fat ones too much then it ruins the sex appeal of the entire video.
Posting 1-25-24. RIP, Melanie Safka (her birth name) February 3, 1947-January 23, 2024. Thanks for the video!
Hearing this song in the morning in Philly. Heard on both WIP and WFIL. AM radio, long lost days. Great memories though.
RIP Melanie.
A real Classic. R.I.P. Melanie❤
This is actually one of the coolest things I’ve seen
Agreed. Surprised me.
One word is enough -WOW !

Thanks for the tip on Moon Lee. She's great!
Great camera work! Great skating girls! Poor editing. :( Way too many cuts on great shots that should've played a little longer.

This reminds me: no fat chicks.
The only thing worse than roller skates is that horrific shuffle dance.
Aww bless........ Can you not dance either??? 🤔😊😂😉
