Hi Guys

Really pleased to come across this site, and hoping that perhaps my years of wondering may well be over.

I'm originally from Aberdeen, Scotland and in the late 70's early 80's went to a roller skating disco.  There's one song that I distinctly remember from this time, have tried to find it on many occasion over
the years, but don't know who it's by or what it's called, I only remember a few of the lyrics.  It was sung by a woman, had a New York disco sound (as far as I remember).  The lyrics went something along
the lines of:  'When I'm rolling, all around the floor, when I'm ro-o-o-o-ling.......  'Who could ask for more'.

Sorry, that's all I remember - but it would be fantastic if someone could recognise this song as it's been driving me mad forever now, probably the only song that remains a mystery to me!!!

Thanks you all in advance.

but thanks your post and that thread I missed the first time around reminded me of my favorite roller skating song that I sort of buried in my subconscious but hadn't thought of in 30 something years!

I don't know. I don't follow the charts. the fact that I know means it was probably relatively mainstream

Roller Skatin' Mate was a chart hit

Hi There - Thanks for this information, it could well be this track, just need to try to find a clip of it.  Meanwhile, if anyone has other suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

same album actually

If I can use this thread to ask about another obscure song: There was an episode of "Thinkabout" where these kids were at a roller rink, and this song kept playing that went "If you want a great deal, boogie down on eight wheels". Does anyone know the title & artist(s) of this thing?
