I love when you both play and sing. I could sit and listen for hours.

[@tjjenkin42]

I frequently do.

[@sbljh]

Thanks for a great memory of Melanie. I did her version of Ruby Tuesday as the sole, staff performer at a Butlin's Holiday Camp on the Isle of Wight in 73. The guests all bought this 18 yr old a lotta beers. I loved Mel. All her songs.....RIP my Dear.

[@ronniesimonet5922]

That was W😀NDERFUL!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 For those not old enough to remember roller skates with keys, they were four wheeled skates in two metal sections with two wheels on each section. The sections slid into each other so you could adjust them to fit over your shoes. The key was used to tighten the nut that held them together.

[@djdawso]

And some skates also had clamps on the front half that grabbed the sides of the soles of your shoes and the key was used to turn the square-drive screw that tightened those clamps. It was a multi-functional key!

[@richardblain4783]

And they weren’t a metaphor for anything, especially not anything sexual.

[@maryo.paddock8093]

@@richardblain4783 LOLOL.

[@johnsinnott6179]

I’ve got a brand new combine harvester …..Brendan Grace …Irish version. Check it out 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪💚💚

[@berryzhang7263]

Thanks for explaining this! I was so confused, I thought it was someone’s brand new car keys, and they were driving somewhere to roller skate lol

[@ETBob51]

Rest in Peace, Melanie.

[@DJ_BJ]

Lovely version, especially Toni's sweet & subtle interlude.🥰 RIP Melanie 😥

[@robertkelly1434]

I haven't heard this song in decades. THANK YOU BOTH!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@Rjhs001]

I was about to say the same thing Robert. Just delightful stuff from Reina and Toni, as usual.

[@jerrybrownell3415]

It is a part of my play list. I make my own CD's and have over 2000 songs and adding to it ever so often.

[@crusaderrjm]

I’m wondering how they found this one. Kind of remote from the 70’s

[@raywood8187]

I was on Melanie's KZbin channel a couple of years ago listening to this song and commented how much I've always loved it and was a teenager when it was released. I felt joy and like I really mattered to her when she thanked me. Thank you for the music Melanie. And of course to you for this lovely cover!

[@bille294]

Y'all are making me feel old. I remember when Melanie came out with this. This and "Lay Down" are two of my favorites. Thank you, very fond memories there.

[@Hoaxer51]

And, Look what they done to my song, Ma!

[@tjdime]

Miss my Melanie...and all her great songs.. nicely done, ...More Melanie please..smiles for miles...

[@KieranSaighir]

Our numbers are dwindling Tim, but I, for one, certainly agree.

[@ProbableCause-DanGryder]

Perfect!

[@josephr.lejeune4539]

You two are just fab!!! Pure joy! Melanie would be proud of you two!

[@beverleylocke4207]

In the uk a cover of this about a combine harvester was a huge success. In didn’t realise it was a cover. Fun!

[@robb5706]

That song sure brings memories! Thank you for sharing it!

[@chrisminer5884]

Cant beat acoustic guitars plus human voice. Thats all that is needed. Lovely arrangement

[@jerrybrownell3415]

You know these girls practice and polish their selections before they present them to us but they make it seem so effortless. Keep up the great work ladies.

[@georgeandlori4059]

Many thanks to the two of you for the latest in a very long line of smiles. Y'all keep singing, we'll keep smiling. Deal?

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Happy Sunday morning! Enjoying Father’s Day and listening to your music. Thanks for all you do.❤❤

[@robertlazorko7350]

Every Sunday morning exceeds the last. Sweet, harmonious, simplicity - with the perfect mix of country and folk flavor. Marvelous.

[@IndridCool54]

As an old guy and a lover of Melanie allow me to say Bravo! That was pretty damn sweet. ✌🏼

[@garyschneider8829]

Same here.. Old Guys and Dolls Rule😅 Peace Out ✌Y'all

[@SophiaPerpetua]

This is better than pretty much all the songs you now hear on the radio. They sing beautifully and it's a really nice song.

[@ronjones4069]

The guitar brake was so smooth. What talent!

[@krumple8560]

One of my favorite Melanie tunes. Thanks....

[@jimchi49]

fun oldie but goodie. great job

[@sacatomatos41]

Man, you two are so smooth. It's like your fingers are barely moving. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you play and sing.

[@silasarngnanaaq7506]

I really enjoyed listening to Melanie Safka in my younger days. I would play each of her songs at our little radio station. Thank you for that, brings back memories.

[@gsolha1265]

Great!!! Beautiful collaboration Lovely harmony🍒🎶 👍👍👍👍👍🍒

[@johndemeen5575]

Think it getting dusty in here now my eyes are watering. Vaya con Dios, to Melanie. From St.Paul,Minnesota.

[@nelson1953]

Some 50 years ago I used to listen pretty much the Melanie songs. She had an incredible voice and wrote very sweet songs.

[@TommyMGrecianMusic]

Captivating…warm…wonderful and very easy listening 😢😊 as much as nice seems to be an underrated word?! That is so NICE 😎TMG

[@frankiefaithful]

I was shocked to see this cover. Simply amazing. Reina, you have one of the best voices I've ever heard.

[@yoksnod]

ahh. some good 'ole early 70's folk. 🧡 love it. also reminds me of The Wurzels 'Combine Harvester' parody of the song. 😂

[@jamesfrangione8448]

Magnificent!!! Like it was written for the two of you!! A big smile for this Father’s Day! Thank you! Coffee cheers! ☕️☕️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@susanalger8413]

You two did a wonderful cover of this song....but seriously there could be hundreds of fantastic Melanie songs that people other than her baby boomer fans never got to hear....I think you two would cover any of them terrifically.....she was an ingenious song writer.....may I suggest.... PERCEIVE IT OR DO YOU BELIEVE ....SHE spent her entire life right to her end....Singing.....she loved Music as much as you guys do and she left behind an arsenal of music....that people need to hear.....her song Brand New Key.....shadowed out other absolutely great songs.....AND FRANKLY as a 50year Melanite.... this cover was a great tribute to a fantastic artist who is no longer with us.....thank you....great job...

[@docben1541]

Beautiful rendition of the song Thank you a lot. That's awesome. Happy Father's day. I love you.....and coffee cheers .🕊🙋‍♂️💖🤩👍💐❤💖😍

[@docben1541]

Melanie we love you .REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL LADY. 😢🎶😥🎼🌹🌈☪️💐❤

[@jimbo7484]

The smiles at the very very end is my favorite part!!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

THIS version is stunningly beautiful - and you inspired me very much. You both are great musicians and singers. One can feel that - as a musician, what i am. This song came up on the radio here in Germany when i was teenager around 14 years... often heard in the seventies last century... and it still fascinates me what Melanie created and sung. She was born February 3, 1947 in Queens, New York City, U.S. and she died January 23, 2024 (aged 76). Rest in Peace, Melanie - one more passed away, one more of those great artists, that made my youth happy, singing, swinging, dancing. Unforgotten. For ever, as long as i live. You are walking in Melanie's shoes. Keep on walking... these shoes are made for walking ! ❤

[@arnelarsen4379]

Melanie (Safka) - so many great songs & albums! Coffee Cheers to two other great ladies here!

[@ricardotorres5160]

Thanks god! A woman not singing like the new diva of the soul. Thanks a lot! Ive liked a lot!

[@kroge007]

I use to sing this to my daughter when she was young. She always wanted me to sing it.

[@cu85tiger73]

This was my favorite song when I was a kid. Used to annoy everyone “singing” it all the time. Your version is much much better. Thanks for the memory.

[@hangdogit]

Wonder version that evokes the sweet innocence of the singer and song from an earlier era.

[@madogblue]

An all time fav tune by Melanie

[@chrisdieter9594]

When I first heard this song by Melanie Safka, I was in my teens. You two were still in Abraham's sausage kettle ( as we say in Saarland, Germany)🤣 You like it today just like I did back then...Unbelievable!..That connects the generations! 💖

[@judyfitch5279]

LOVE when Reina and Toni pop up in my feed. Especially on a Monday morning while I am moving and very much in need of good tunes!

[@woodwindrain5020]

The two of you are very talented with lovely voices. You must have been reincarnated with these great old souls. Melanie goes back several decades and finding younger people playing these oldies so good is just wonderful.

[@gbereterbide6440]

My brother and I sang this song back in the day. Great memories. Thank you!

[@geohaber]

The innuendo of this song is hilarious!

[@chuckjj5493]

Right on,takes me back to 1970"s,well done.

[@johnlarkin8226]

A nice tribute, even a few months ahead of time. This was a great song. I wonder how many people still remember roller skates with keys (and metal wheels !)

[@dustbat]

Nice job. As an old burned out man I can still remember hearing this song for the first time.

[@wojciechzby]

Just right. Feels like home. Perfect Sunday morning!

[@fg6971]

Smooth sweet cover of an oldie but goodie that put put a smile on my old face. Thanks.

[@tetedur377]

I was just listening to Melanie sing this the other day, set to the video a high school girl made that was so perfect for the song. Elle's voice is so right for this as well.

[@bessiebraveheart]

Hello from England, i've missed the Sunday mornings, nice to see you bot back, one of my favourite songs, thank you both, from John Mccartney.

[@JohnFoley1701]

I could’ve sworn you did this one before, how have you not done this one before? It’s so you. It’s ridiculously obvious. Bravo!

[@ralfklonowski3740]

How sweet! Thank you for lighting up my Sunday evening and greetings from Germany!

[@secretagent86]

such a cute song. i had forgotten this one. sweetly simple

[@worshipwatcher55]

Delightful! I loved the harmony on this one. Coffee cheeers!

[@fredericmelvinokohnner4503]

I didn’t think that church could be so much fun! I love it! Cheers😍

[@davemcbroom695]

Well, it's not morning here but it's still good to see and listen to you ladies.

[@5dognight422]

Aww, that brings back really good memories! Wish we Could live back in that era again, seems like life was so much simpler

[@JamieBrooks-yh5lu]

Your cover of Melanie's song would make her proud. Great job! Love it, Thanks

[@harigeorgeson5885]

A wonderful arrangement and perfect for your voices! Absolutely love it! Great to have you back.

[@Ammo08]

Brings back a lot of memories of the 1970s..excellent work...

[@JoeyMcGowan1]

Excellent, I know Melanie, I’ll pass it on for sure.

[@PedroNord]

Perhaps the naughtiest song you two have ever covered. Fabulous!!

[@julianginniver5785]

Happy Sunday morning, so nice to have you both back ♥️

[@freddy7691]

Con voi, è sempre una buona domenica! Grazie 🌞🌞🌞

[@mikerandall1598]

I have a crush on Toni😊 This tune played a few times a day, every day when I was a kid. Thanks for the jingle! You both light up the room with your smiles❤❤

[@garyschneider8829]

Great cover of Melanie song, Circa 1971. Love your style❤

[@Koala63211]

Sweet memories of Melanie. Thank you ladies.

[@mikekim1219]

I don't know why this song brings me the time I was delivering newspaper around my block. Thank you, girls!

[@stephenlondon3363]

So another one I missed last month?? What the hay, KZbin??!!?? Oh well, better late than never…Another pitch-perfect rendition of a classic tune from my youth and a favorite as well…Reina with the spot-on Melanie vocal and Toni the Terrific once again recreating the main guitar parts and licks beautifully and always even better when you both sing and play together and consistently superb harmonies as the icing on the cake-KUDOS, LADIES!! 🧑🏻👩🏼🎼🎤🎸🎤🎸

[@johnxavier8732]

beautifully done ladies. Thanks for that, J. X.

[@RobGlen-e6u]

Love your performances ladies! You're both very talented. Please keep on posting your vids. Sending you both greetings from New Zealand.

[@jeffreybowen1851]

This is simply beautiful, and the studio version is even better.

[@jaykay1053]

My Mum and I used to listen to this together on the radio when I was a little girl. “I got a brand new pair o’ roller skates” is lodged in my happy brain, forever, I hope. Couldn’t help smiling and singing along with you. Thanks for the sweet memory. (I’m very grateful for you bringing all of this great folk music back to the fore.)

[@northcountrydesign10]

Making my father's day extra special. Oh I love your harmonies. Why aren't you making millions and touring the world?

[@williampaganucci1084]

I love this song. It's always part of The Summer Of Love Concerts I go to see in New Jersey. I also recommended this song to a young girl from The UK who sings it now. 👍

[@CazPea]

I’ve not heard that for a few years, remember being a small kid when it was released. Great cover ladies 🌈

[@JamesCouch777]

Awesome rendition of a classic 😊. Those really were the good old days!

[@IAMAGUDNYANO]

Great cover of the Melanie classic. Would love to see Reina and Toni do her other famous one "Look what they've done to my song Ma".

[@Simmons2358]

Now that is an old song. Nicely done.

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

Your Sunday covers make me SO HAPPY!

[@beverlymichael5830]

I have not heard this song for a long time. Yes I had Melanie’s album with this song as a teenager.

[@gordonwallin2368]

Really nice harmony. As usual. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@guitarista666]

Thanks for the memory! A fun song from the past!

[@ClaudiaNW]

This song was only previously known to me as the song that "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester" was originally a parody of!

[@MikeyFortune]

Great cover ladies 👍🏻. Love Melanie and her music. I have been a guest in her home a few times.

[@robertvirtue8070]

Boy you are making me old, remember Melanie sang this and Lay Down which was about Wookstock . I had roller skates like those in the song as a kid.

[@lindagrapes8044]

I haven't heard this song in like forever. Great job.

[@garegardner6782]

I have GOT to see you two live before I die

[@albertbutkus7699]

Thank you, wonderful, brought back so many memories

[@johneldard6673]

Thank you for coming back. Love you two

[@pepsarrio]

Great cover! Melanie Safka sure will be proud of you!

[@christopherblake2352]

[@kujasan]

I am a massive fan of these two . They compliment each other .

[@dexumekubo4928]

Love you Ladies! Thank you so much!!!

[@m.vanessche8589]
