Maybe it's a cheap skate.

I wondered about that also. I don't think they chew so a full pack/box not being crushed in a possibility. They may have left out (or didn't take) a picture where they slit the gut, but I don't know if a Skate's gut expands to fill the entire cavity? What else is in a Skate besides the gut?

Thanks...now I can't get this song out of my head: ;)

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them on to see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

Yeah, I had that on a 45 when I was a kid (imagines all the young folks wondering what the hell a 45 is.)

poor thing

You and I remember them as records. The young folks know them as big bottles of malt liquor. :)

lol

My friend worked at the drive-thru years ago. She got lots of requests for Colt 45s or some kind of "Double Deuces."

You had all that on a pistol?

Melanie. I worked for a record label that briefly handled her back catalogue.

Yeah, my mom's name is Melanie...so she gave me that record.

Did she... uh... explain what the song is really about?

So the skate ate all that trash but there's no normal foodstuff in its gut? Hmmm... methinks I detect a whiff of shenanigans.

What I remember of Melanie is that I got her album and 11 others for just 1 penny!!! All I did was join Columbia House records and my life was ruined for years! Ahh, just imagine, 12 cool albums of music that I never would have bought..."but Mom, it's only a penny!".

:eek:

No, what?

It's like Naive Shawnee Day!


edit: Googled. Puh...the whole Freudian thing seemed too obvious. Anyway she said this:

"'Brand New Key' I wrote in about fifteen minutes one night. I thought it was cute; a kind of old thirties tune. I guess a key and a lock have always been Freudian symbols, and pretty obvious ones at that. There was no deep serious expression behind the song, but people read things into it. They made up incredible stories as to what the lyrics said and what the song meant. In some places, it was even banned from the radio.

Yah! And then there's the middle verse

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl

don't read into - what!!!

Hmmmm...and how do you feel about that? [/freud]
