I remember it well. In about 1965 we were hearing about these things called skateboards that kids were using in California. Every boy immediately swiped one of his sister’s roller skates and nailed or screwed the halves to whatever board he could scrounge.

Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son

Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me
Don’t be afraid to try the newest sport around
Bust your buns, bust your buns now
It’s catchin’ on in every city and town
