It's "Joni" not "jonni" and Curtispo... is correct re: Melanie
"-- she'd had four LPs released in half as many years, and wanted more control over her work and career. With help from Schekeryk, whom she had married, she organized her own label, Neighborhood Records, during the summer of 1971. Her first subsequent single, "Brand New Key" hit number one on the U.S. charts while on its way to becoming a million seller; thanks to its not-so-subtle sexual undertones, the song became a kind of "in" dirty joke in some circles, and was even censored on some radio stations, but it also made Melanie one of the top-selling artists of the year 1971."

Melanie Safka.
The name of the song is 'Brand New Key' from 1972. It's been covered by several other artists. The original version was featured in the film, 'Boogie Nights'.
