these boots are made for walking

Nancy Sinatra walked all over the charts with her signature go-go boots and was number one on both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously. Lee Hazlewood originally wrote the song for himself; Nancy convinced him to let her record it: "It's better for a girl to sing it, because when you sing it, it sounds mean. When I sing it, it will be sexy and cute." It was recorded backed by The Wrecking Crew with Chuck Berghofer playing the bass hook. The song was used during American television footage of the Vietnam War, which led to Sinatra visiting South Vietnam to perform for the troops. She has said that, "The image created by 'Boots' isn't the real me. 'Boots' was hard and I'm as soft as they come." It was a worldwide smash that also topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand.
