I am gently entertained by this video for "Brand New Key," a pop hit for Melanie more than 35 years ago. It's a cover from Suzanne Sherman Propp, found on Propp's new album Play!. Propp's voice fits the ear-wormy descending line of the chorus, and the video art (from a 16-year-old out of North Carolina) is an appealingly lo-fi blend of images. And while Wikipedia explains how some of the song is open to interpretation, the key in question is a rollerskate key, meant for tightening the skates. So now you know. I'm all about the learning here. Suzanne Sherman Propp - "Brand New Key"
