Remembering skating rink classics

Posted by Mike McCray on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 2:22 PM

I don't know what it is, but for some reason, people in their 20s are strangely nostalgic about their childhood (as if it wasn't only a decade ago).

In getting caught up in that nostalgia, lots of kids who grew up in Charlotte have a fond place in their hearts for the skating rink. I was a terrible skater but anytime someone says Tradewinds, three songs immediately pop to mind. Let the dry humping and over-the-shirt groping ensue.

Ghost Town DJ's - "My Boo"

Sammie - "I Like It"

Freak Nasty - "Da Dip"

The funny thing I thought about listening to Sammie's "I Like It" is one — I feel like all my friends and I looked and dressed just like that in middle school — and two — do kids even get deals anymore? Outside of Disney groomed kid stars, do labels even try to put out a pre-teen artist? Was it ever worth it.
