Oh I could anly imagine!  

Whiny voice:
  "Oh I've got a brand-new combine harvester, you've got a brand-new 
Deere. I think that we should get together and plow a field 'fore 
tea.  I've been looking around awhile, you've got something I need,  
I've got a brand-new combine harvester, you've got a brand-new 
Deere."

I've always been far more partial to Melanie's Woodstock era music 
such as Candles in the Rain, Look What They've Done To My Song, 
etc.   I will admit to having the 45 of "Brand New Key" as a child, 
and playing it a lot!  Drove mum crazy!  :-)
