Angry love songs are the best, so work your way up to that. But maybe you could start with a song about being angry that you have ratty, smelly socks and no Graham Crackers…
Roller skates used to have keys, davidw101. Before enclosed, size-specific skates became the norm, roller skates were steel brackets that you had to clamp to your shoes and tighten a couple of bolts, and the “key” was like a little socket wrench. Skate keys were traditionally tied to a loop of string and worn around the neck, because they were easily lost.
A pair of skates without a key was about as useless as a key with no skates. The upside of old-style roller skates was that you and a friend could easily take turns with one pair, even if you wore different-sized shoes. (Although, in Agnes and Trout’s case, I doubt they’d find a pair that adjusts enough to accommodate both of THEIR disparate tootsies.)
I’m not sure, but I’d imagine they still make adjustable skates for kids. It would make sense, considering how fast kids’ feet grow.
That roller skate song might as well be “I’ve got a new pair of ta-(ti)-tas, you’ve got a ding-a-ling. Let’s get together and see if we can’t make them ring.”

Her song can’t be any worse than Melanie’s hit, “I have a brand new pair of roller skates and you have a brand new key.”

For some crazy reason I’ve always liked that song and it makes no sence what so ever - Key to What?
