ROLLER SKATING anyone remember?

[Smackie Chan]

You remember that one song that got you to skate your ass off on the roller skating rink? (or thats what you thought you was doing in your mind at the time)
what was that song?
Mine was Strawberry letter 22 , what was yours?

[RashoFan]

I remember a song with the Lyrics...Ice cold beer makes me want to cheer,Ice cold wine makes me feel fine, But ice cold duck makes me want to_____.....
Can't remember the name of the song, I just remember that it can on and everyone got on the floor.

[Kori Ellis]

When I was in junior high, I remember that it seemed like they only played Rush and Jefferson Airplane at the skating rink. :lol

[dirk4mvp]

When I used to go to the skating rink alot, the 2 most songs I remember being played the most is barracuda and achy brakey heart.....and I'm not even that old. :lol

[blizz]

pacman fever!!

[mrsmaalox]

At our rink it was "I Fought the Law" by Bobby Fuller. That song was ancient then but since it was in El Paso, and Bobby Fuller was from El Paso, there was some sort of significance to the DJ.

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, God.

Now I have a vision of mouse on roller skates dancing to Strawberry Letter 23 burned into my brain.

[mouse]

1978-79 not sure I was young and high! It was Chicago I was at a roller skating rink right next to the theater that was showing Grease. I was with a friend of mine who was high up in the Lating King ranks and we was in the white part of Noridge Illinois the gang was called get this! "The GayLords" :lmao

any way that is another story....but inside the skating ring it was the so called "last Skate" couples only! .. and the song was "lights" by Journey. very romantic! I was all alone with no one to skate with.........

I will never forget that night as log as I live!

First song that comes to mind is - I Think Wer're Alone Now by Tiffany.

Did you grow up in Chicago?

[ShoogarBear]

Did you grow up in Chicago?He may have lived there, but he certainly didn't grow up there.

Red Skies by the Fixx at the old Shenandoah Skate Rink (Now John Williams Interiors on I-10), Rollercade on San Pedro or at the Bandera Skate Ranch.

[CavsSuperFan]

“Chic” Good times...
High School... Disco... Roller skates...Why did any of it have to end... :dramaquee

A rumor has it that it's getting late
Time marches on, just can't wait
The clock keeps turning, why hesitate
You silly fool, you can't change your fate
Let's cug the rug, a little jive and jitterbug
We want the best, we won't settle for less
Don't be a drag, participate
Clams on the half shell and roller-skates, roller-skates

[Taco]

He may have lived there, but he certainly didn't grow up there.


Mrs Taco grew up in Chicago (Born in SA) :downspin:

I never learned to skate, but I was always at the skating rink.

They always played everything by ELO.

Everytime I listen to them, I remember the skating rink.

Hey, my cousin is married to a guy in ELO!!

[Shelly]

Pffffft. You haven't skated unless you learned how to skate on these bad boys. And if you lost the key, well you were SOL. Of course, they would always come loose and you'd go flying.

Shoog would remember those days...

I grew up here in San Antonio on the Southside and there was NO BETTER skating rink than Carvel Skateland on Goliad (i believe). Loves that damn place. By the way I still own Roller Skates!!!!!

[ATX Spur]

Really? No one has yet to mention "do the locomotion" at that old skate place on recoleta? It was like every other song.

The Grand Funk version? I used to think that one was the original and the "remake" was just plain bad.
