@@hannabertrand4460 Yes, the great Lee Hazlewood, he wrote several songs for Nancy, including obviously her biggest hits in the 60s, he also worked with guitarist Duane Eddy for many years
Miniskirts and go-go boots were the trend at the time this song came out in the 1960s. Older people, naturally, were shocked at the scandalous fashion. The teens and young adults embraced them in spite of (or maybe because of) the shock value.
I’m 70 years old, and was 12/13 when this was popular. My older sister and me both had go-go boots. Not offended at all, I love the dancing and the outfits. We were all wearing mini skirts, hot pants, etc. It was the sixties😎
It's wonderful to see a man appreciate beautiful women. I'm a 70s kid, this was classy, nothing wrong with the short outfits. Today the girls leave nothing to the imagination.❤
This is a killer. I remember singing this as a very little child! Born in 64. Are you kiddin' me? We LOVED this. Minis and we ALL had vinyl go-go boots. I recall wanting to be a go-go girl as a kid!! I'm an artist, lol.
Just think of it, Nancy and those other woman are around age 80 now. So keep in mind when you see an old lady at the store that she was probably pretty cool in her youth 🙂
After about six months of playing euchre with her, one of my mother's older friends at the retirement home surprised me by talking about how she used to dance on tables in bars. The whole table laughed as my jaw hit the ground.
If you've ever seen a clip of original Star Trek and the miniskirts they wore ... that was the same year as this song. To the best of my knowledge, the prancing type dance they do is a go-go dance. The band playing the song is the Wrecking Crew. It occurs to me you might enjoy the dancing to the hit song "Hang On Sloopy" by Rick Derringer / the McCoys (song from '65, video from '75). This is also the same general era as the Sean Connery James Bond films.
Yes the mini-skirt was a thing into the early 70s..... and did go long again into the 70s. Still.... this was shorter than a actual mini-skirt that was allowable..... as even young school girls wore mini-skirts and of course.... it could not be up to the blue .....
It was also during the period of the beach movies where women wore what were called two-piece swimsuits and the skimpier suits were called Bikinis which is when they debuted.
All us little girls loved this & we all wanted & wore GoGo boots! Mini Skirts were very big in the 60s. Lots of leg. It was a lot less uptight in many ways than today esp coming out of the more conservative 50s. Lots of changes happening.
Fun fact....this song was used by the FBI, CIA. ATF as a form of torture to get the women and children to leave the house they were barricaded in during the Branch Davidian standoff in Texas years ago. The feds had tried for days to get them to come out, but they refused. They brought in many speakers the size of RV's and surrounded the compound with them. Then, they started blasting this song through them 24/7 at decibels that made the Feds vomit, even with ear protection on, due to the excessive ground shaking because the music was so loud. After days of this, they still wouldn't come out, so the Feds stopped playing this song and broke down their house with tanks and killed them all. True story. Look it up.
I was a senior in highschool and in the drama club...we used this in one of our skits...and YES, women loved it...we were making a statement for women to be their own person...not property 😅😊😊
Nancy with her collaboration of singer/songwriter Lee Hazlewood released their psychedelic hit single "Some Velvet Morning" back in 1967. Also, the duet recorded "Summer Wine" from 1966 that are worth checking out. Both songs have a pleasant flow and listen.💫💋👠🎤🎸🎺🥁💎🎵🎶🔊☮🎧
A great reaction, got to love some Nancy Sinatra, she sure was different to her farther lol. She had some great work with songwriter Lee Hazelwood with songs like, Summer Wine, Jackson and Some Velvet Morning. British band The Big Push (with Ren) does a great mash up of Boots with Satisfaction and Everybody it filmed live in a laundromat.
This was considered to be pretty close to the limit when it was released. But it's a great tough-chick song and Nancy's delivery is perfect. I enjoyed your reaction. It's hard not to notice the obvious here. So, just enjoy. This was a number one song where I lived.
This probably isn't a music video per se - its probably a section from a variety show. There were lots of shows that would have music sections like this as part of their show..
I'm 64, so I was a kid during this songs' time. But I remember it making girls and women feel like...Even if I'm pretty, cute, or beautiful, you have no right to take me for granted or take advantage of me. So it always felt like a female empowerment song.
I love this song. Nancy Sinatra did a great job with it. Voiceplay did this as a short. That's the way they dressed back then. Nancy is frank Sinatra's daughter. Definitely got her dad's singing voice 😁
I'm a woman and no I'm not offended in the least. These ladies are covered up more than some of the female artists these days. At least these ladies leave some things to the imagination. 😉
I definitely strutted to this record as a teen girl. I didn't have boots or a boyfriend to leave, but I pretended I did as I sang along and walked my bedroom floor :D 💃
It's how a dancer would dress, and they're not showing anything but some leg, so it was considered sexy and cute. Go-go dancers, or even the June Taylor dancers, nothing but dancers dancing,
It's funny, maybe young boys in general today have to excuse themselves for watching girls dance and sing like Nancy and the rest. Back in the days of Rnroll we only wanted more more and more. Well, there aren't singers like Nancy around anymore. And there is no Rnroll anymore.. This was a major hit. Written by Lee Hazlewood
I'm a lady. There's nothing wrong with being attracted to the ladies on the screen. Hell, that is what they wanted the effect to be. Pull the men in with these fine young women, then deliver the message.
I have no issue. These women were classy and sassy. They didn’t twerk or just embarrass themselves. They were Ladies who just happened to be wearing mini skirts and GoGo Boots. ❤❤❤
To turn the discussion to the musical merit of this piece: Nancy Sinatra was the female equivalent of "Poor Johnny One-Note." There was no musicality to her voice, so the couple songs she recorded (Including "Something Stupid" with her father) were cleverly written so as not to expose her vocal shortcomings. Listen, and you'll hear how oddly flat her tone is, more of a speaking than a singing voice. Even singing in an echo chamber didn't help. She wanted a musical career, and her dad did his best to help her out, but she just couldn't sing.
