    The song was heavily inspired by 70s roller disco - at the time there was a big scene for it at flippers in Beverly Hills, they used to serve clams on a half shell which was very popular with the patrons at the time and associated with the good times they had there. Read the comments on the YouTube video :)
  • Billy from BostonIs it only me? I keep hearing hat checks, not clams on the half shell, but neither one makes sense.
  • Bill from Pensacola, FlYou are right Emma, this is a great roller skating song, and all it's
    children.....from Rappers Delight on...
  • Emma from Knoxville, TnThat was a good roller skating song, crossing may legs infront of me turning around on my skates, can't do that now I have the vinyl.
  • Doug from Oakland, CaGood Times signaled the end of the black civil rights movement from the Sixties and beckoned the Buppie materialism of the Eighties and beyond.
    "Lets put an end to the stress and strife
    I think I want to live the sporting life"

    Clams on the half shell and roller skates?I love this song musically but feel totally betrayed by the lyrics.
