Asheville, North Carolina ukulele and randomness band Mad Tea Party cover "Brand New Key," a 1971 hit for New York City pop folk artist Melanie, and the backdrop for one of the more memorable scenes from 1997 Paul Thomas Anderson drama "Boogie Nights."
The song reminds me of one Christmas when my sisters were each given a pair of roller skates, and I was given a key. Not a lock and key. Just a key.
You may think I'd be jealous of their gift... but, no. I tried opening every lock that I came across. Never opened one, but just the thought that I might be able to unlock something super cool kept me occupied for most of that winter.
Probably the best 47 cents that my parents ever spent.
