These Boots are made for walking…
Sep 4th, 2005 by Lillian
I remember a side walk singer who used to sing in Bern. Its too long ago to remember what week day she sung but I do remember her. She wore punk clothes and played the guitar. The one song I still remember was ” These boots”. She sung it with the rusty, sexy voice. And now, at the other side of the world, watching UBC I heard the same song again. A country(?) singer called Jessica Simpson.
The Chorus goes : These boots are made for walking, that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these shoes are gonna walk all over you.
I still love the song but I have to tell you, the way the side walk singer played it and sung it was WAY better than that video clip I watched this evening.

When you mention this song, the first connotation that comes to my mind is from the Stanley Kubrick film, Full metal jacket, when the GI’s first get to Vietnam and are hanging out and some street walker prost. in long boots comes to chat them up, just before some thief steals their camera. I believe it is Nancy Sinatra who originally sang the song…
cheers,
