Just for Fun

First and foremost, let it be known that I am not being paid to endorse HP (if only!). I just cannot help but share this insanely cute commercial with y’all. Every single time this gem comes on television, my kiddos ask me to rewind to watch it over again at least a dozen times. Jack keeps asking why Cecily’s seat doesn’t do this. 😉



Curious about the song here? It’s called Brand New Key by a folk singer called Melanie. I dare you not to be humming it all day long!

**Correction: This song was written by the late great Janis Joplin, but she never recorded it before she died in 1970. The official song title is indeed the Roller Skate Song, although I have seen it listed in a number of different places as Brand New Key as well. Melanie, the artist I mentioned earlier, recorded the song in 1972. (I found this information in the forum on Joplin’s official website.)

Thanks so much to to the commenter who let me in on this little piece of Friday afternoon music trivia! 🙂

Smile!

    All the kids here love it! All the daycare kids go quiet when they hear the music start. I should have it on constant replay all day. LOL!
