These Boots Are Made for Walkin'#Jessica Simpson version

The song was written by Lee Hazlewood; it was inspired by a line spoken by Frank Sinatra in the comedy-western film 4 for Texas (1963): "They tell me them boots ain't built for walkin'."{{Cite web|url=https://clip.cafe/4-texas-1963/they-tell-them-boots-aint-built-walking/|title='They tell me them boots ain't built for walking.

Nancy Sinatra's version of the song was released as a single in December 1965,{{cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bSkEAAAAMBAJ&q=These+Boots+Are+Made+for+Walkin%27+billboard+1965&pg=PA18 |title=Billboard |date=December 25, 1965}} as the second song to be taken from her debut album, Boots (1966), and was a follow-up to the minor hit "So Long, Babe". The song became an instant success and, in late February 1966, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a move it replicated in similar charts across the world.

Billboard described the song as "fine folk-rock material" and praised Sinatra's vocal performance and "the Billy Strange driving dance beat."{{cite news|newspaper=Billboard|accessdate=March 8, 2021|date=December 25, 1965|page=16|title=Spotlight Singles|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/60s/1965/Billboard%201965-12-25.pdf}} Cash Box described it as a "funky, slow-shufflin' folk-rocker about a gal who serves notice on her boyfriend that she can't be pushed around."{{cite magazine |title=CashBox Record Reviews |date=December 25, 1965 |page=104 |access-date=January 12, 2022 |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/60s/1965/CB-1965-12-25.pdf |magazine=Cash Box}}

In 2020, the 1965 recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.{{Cite web |title=GRAMMY Hall Of Fame {{!}} Hall of Fame Artists {{!}} GRAMMY.com |url=https://www.grammy.com/awards/hall-of-fame-award#t |access-date=September 29, 2024 |website=grammy.com}}

Lee Hazlewood intended to record the song himself, saying that "it's not really a girl's song", but Sinatra talked him out of it, saying that "coming from a guy it was harsh and abusive, but was perfect for a little girl to sing". Hazlewood agreed.{{cite web |author=Martino |first=Alison |date=January 19, 2016 |title=Nancy Sinatra Talks "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" on the Eve of Its Golden Anniversary The hit song that inspired a generation of women to start walkin' turns 50 tomorrow |url=http://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/a-qa-with-nancy-sinatra/ |access-date=July 5, 2016 |website=Los Angeles Magazine}} Sinatra's recording of the song was made with the help of Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew.

In the same year, Sinatra recorded a promotional film, which would later be known as the music video, for the song. It was produced for Color-Sonics and played on Scopitone video jukeboxes. The film was directed by choreographer Robert Sidney and was produced by Official Films at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.[https://nancysinatra.com/blog/2011/01/nancys-color-sonics-films-pioneering-the-music-video-art-form/ "Nancy’s Color-Sonics Films: Pioneering the Music Video Art Form", NancySinatra.com, January 7, 2011]. Retrieved April 16, 2020 In 1986, for the song's 20th anniversary, cable station VH1 played the video.

Sinatra told Alison Martino that other videos and performances are from TV shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullaballoo and Shindig! These other videos featured Sinatra wearing an iconic pair of red leather boots.

Jessica Simpson recorded her own version of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin{{' "}} (and added her own lyrics) for the soundtrack to the film The Dukes of Hazzard (2005). The version was also included in the international version of her fifth studio album, A Public Affair (2006). Simpson's cover was co-produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and was released as the soundtrack's first single on June 20, 2005. It became Simpson's fifth top-20 single in the United States,{{cite web|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=jessica simpson|chart=all}} |title=Jessica Simpson: Singles Chart History |publisher=billboard.com |access-date=August 7, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509182052/http://www.billboard.com/artist/304557/jessica+simpson/chart |archive-date=May 9, 2013}} and its music video drew controversy because of its sexual imagery.

Simpson's version of the song is performed from the point of view of her character in The Dukes of Hazzard, Daisy Duke, and it has several major differences from Sinatra's version. The song's lyrics were changed almost completely as Simpson felt that they did not accurately convey the feelings needed for the film; in the original Sinatra dealt with a cheating boyfriend, while in the new version Simpson explored Daisy Duke's personality and experiences. She rewrote the majority of the lyrics herself, although some elements were retained such as the opening line "You keep saying you got something for me..." and the spoken "Are you ready, boots? Start walkin{{' "}}.

Simpson also added some new music to her version of the song. Whereas the original version did not have a bridge, she created one for the cover. A risqué rap-like/spoken breakdown was added after the bridge. Because of the legalities of songwriting, Simpson has not been credited for the new music or lyrics that she wrote. The production of the song was altered as well. Producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis gave the cover a country-inspired production because of its relationship to the film The Dukes of Hazzard, but they also added a more hip hop-like beat.

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin{{' "}} peaked at fourteen on the US Billboard Hot 100, and in late 2005 the RIAA certified the single Gold for 500,000 legal downloads or more. Its digital downloads were high, but radio airplay was low. Due to this, it is the song that reached the lowest chart position on the Billboard Hot 100 for a song topping the Hot Digital Songs chart. It reached the top ten on Billboard's Pop 100 chart, and was Simpson's first single to appear on the chart. On July 23, 2005, the song jumped from 8 – 1 on Hot Digital Songs charts in its second week with 43,000 downloads.{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rRQEAAAAMBAJ&q=jessica+simpson+these+boots+are+made+for+hot+digital+billboard&pg=PA3 |title = Billboard|date = July 23, 2005}} On December 11, 2006, the single was certified Gold by the RIAA again, this time by Epic Records. In total, the single has received 1 million digital downloads.

Internationally it was a success, reaching top 5 in several European countries. It became her biggest hit in Australia, where it reached number two and remained in the top forty for twenty-four weeks. In Ireland, the single also reached number 2. The song also cracked the top five in the United Kingdom, where it reached number four and is to date, her highest peaking single in Britain. It reached the top ten in the chart European Hot 100 Singles, Belgium, and New Zealand and the top twenty in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. As the end of the year 2005, the single had sold 69,500 copies in UK.{{cite web|url=http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=31737 |title=UK 2005 TOP 200 w/ sales!! |publisher=ATRL |access-date=March 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003190102/http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=31737 |archive-date=October 3, 2011}}

American thrash metal band Megadeth covered the song on their 1985 debut album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!, which is track four on the original release and eight on the 2002 re-release. Their version (entitled "These Boots") featured altered lyrics, and was produced more as a parody than a true cover.

When the album started selling well, the writer of the song, Lee Hazlewood, began demanding that the song be omitted, due to its being a "perversion of the original". In the liner notes of the album's 2002 reissue, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine was strongly critical of Hazlewood, noting that he had received royalties for almost ten years before he objected to the altered version. The song was included as a bonus track on that version, with many lyrics censored (mostly Mustaine's variations, but some other lines were also censored for comedic effect). In 2011, an uncensored live version recorded in 1987 was released as part of the 25th anniversary edition of the album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?. In 2018, the song was released with the original Lee Hazlewood lyrics on the remixed and remastered version of Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!{{cite web |title=MEGADETH: KILLING IS MY BUSINESS…AND BUSINESS IS GOOD – THE FINAL KILL REVIEW|url=https://greenandblackmusic.com/home/2019/01/11/megadeth-killing-is-my-business-and-business-is-good-the-final-kill-review/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417234359/http://greenandblackmusic.com/home/2019/01/11/megadeth-killing-is-my-business-and-business-is-good-the-final-kill-review/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=April 17, 2019 |website=Green and Black Music |access-date=October 20, 2023 |date=January 11, 2019}}

In 1987, Megadeth re-recorded the song as part of the soundtrack for Penelope Spheeris' film Dudes, changing the title to "These Boots Are Made for Walkin{{' "}}. This version of the song was the last song the band recorded with Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland, as the two would be kicked out later in the year for their drug habits.{{cite web |title=Former MEGADETH Members DAVID ELLEFSON And CHRIS POLAND Reunite to Honor the Legacy of Drummer GAR SAMUELSON|url=https://www.sonicperspectives.com/news/former-megadeth-members-unite-to-honor-the-legacy-of-drummer-gar-samuelson/ |website=Sonic Perspective |access-date=March 29, 2023 |date=January 28, 2022}}
