This day in music history.

February 25, 1966, Nancy Sinatra receives her first gold record for "These Boots Are made for Walkin'." Like most of her hits Boots was written and produced by Lee Hazlewood. Sinatra was encouraged by Hazlewood to sing the song as if she were a sixteen-year-old girl giving the brush-off to a forty-year-old man. The song was adopted by troops in Vietnam when they marched. Sinatra traveled there in the mid- to late-60s to perform for the US soldiers during USO tours. Before this song girls in rock were mostly cute and only interested in getting a boyfriend, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" kicked open the doors for a whole new category of women in rock. Nancy's tough girl attitude preceded women's liberation and created the first rebel chick singer.
Over the years there have been many remakes of the song, my personal favorite is Megadeth's from the "Killing Is My business An business Is Good" LP. Lee Hazlewood demanded that the song be cut from the album due to its being a "perversion of the original".
These Boots Are Made For Walkin
You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been messin'
where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.
These boots are made for walking,
and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
These boots are made for walking,
and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that you will never get burnt.
Ha!
I just found me a brand new box of matches
yeah
and what he knows you ain't HAD time to learn.
Are you ready boots?
Start walkin'!
