Come on, y'all. I know I wasn't the only one who used to hang out at the skating rink. So name me some good skating rink songs! I'm a child of the 80s, but any decade will do—a good skating rink song is timeless. Or not ...


Some I could think of are:

Kool and the Gang - Celebration
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
Michael Jackson - PYT
Anything by The Jets

Help me out! I need retro tunes.

I lived in the sticks so I didn't get to go to skating rinks, but my friend said a couple good ones were "Journey into Bass" by DJ Laz and "Dream Team is in the House" By LA Dream Team....I never heard of them!

Movin' on up!
Late 60s to mid-70s, I skated to:

Herman's Hermits
Bobby Goldsboro
The Beatles
The Beach Boys
The Supremes
Frankie Vallee and the Four Seasons
Johnny Cash
Buck Owens
Tom Jones

The "Hokey-Pokey" was a standard feature of every skate session.

I was a die hard skating rink fan! I could go on... How about Young and Restless B Girls? Or we like the cars that go boom... or BOOM! I stole your boyfriend?


Just thought of another, Steve B... Postman! the "couples skate"

Haha ... "Couples skate only, please. All others off the floor." I can hear it now.

I still hang out at skating rinks. Every month, my daughter's school has a school-skate thingy where she gets to hang with all her friends. I get on there with a handful of other brave parents & rollerboogie my buns off!!!

My favorite rollerskate song? YMCA!!!

There ain't nothin like doing that on skates!!!

I used to do pairs dancing on roller skates- the song I most remember was Fascination. Played by an organist who was fascinating by himself. THAT's how long ago that was!

We Built This City on Rock and Roll (not sure what the true name of this song is) was ALWAYS played at my roller rink when I was a kid.
