[edit] Freudian Symbolism?

Freudian symbolism, my foot. What did Freud have to say about rollerskates? Symbolism didn't start with Freud, you know. Maikel 09:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

This article, a review of her comeback concert, says that she said it's about sex...: "She explains that Brand New Key is about sex and was written as Cajun swamp blues but cutesied up by a record-producer husband - then she sings the cute version."
But that seems to directly contradict the BBC interview mentioned in the wiki. So who knows. Meichigo 21:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joplin

i thought that janis joplin was some how involved with the rollerskate song. any info would b appreciated -- 20:18, 12 July 2007 71.60.111.212

Janis never did "Leaving On A Jet Plane", Peter Paul & Mary did. Nor, did she sing "Son of a Preacher Man". (That was Dusty Springfield)

More songs that Janis never recorded:

- The Rose (Bette Midler) - Entertainer (Scott Joplin) - She NEVER recorded with Bob Dylan, but was on the same label, Columbia - White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane) - Brand New Key (Melanie)- Ragtime (Again, Scott Joplin)

If you're not sure, everything that Janis did is listed on the discography pages on our site. You can go to Compilations, and look at the listing, but won't find anything listed that she hasn't sung.

[edit] "New key" = "nookie"

Published source for this theory? Gordonofcartoon 12:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

None of the information about "innuendo" is cited. It's not presented as fact; it's presented as interpretation. I'll concede that it technically fails WP:V, but it doesn't pretend to be fact, just as no interpretation of a song, poem, novel, painting or any other art can be considered fact. If the "nookie" statement is deleted for lack of a source, the whole paragaph should go, as should about 50% of interpretive statements for articles about other creative endeavors.
