Lee Hazlewood's tough-talkin' hit song (popularized by Nancy Sinatra)

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

--New York Times
The hit written by Lee Hazelwood took pop to places it had only
previously fantasized about...This oddball song was a tough-talkin',
heavy-stridin', even fetishistic assertion of grrrl power...
