Hazlewood agreed. Sinatra 's recording of the song was made with the help of Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. This session included Hal Blaine on drums, Al Casey, Tommy Tedesco, and Billy Strange on guitars, Ollie Mitchell, Roy Caton and Lew McCreary on horns, Carol Kaye on electric bass and Chuck Berghofer on double bass, providing the notable bass line.

Caton - ( contractor ) trumpet Lee Hazlewood - supervisor Release The single was released in December 1965, the second song to taken from her debut album Boots, 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. Promotional film In the same year Sinatra recorded a promotional film, which would later be known as the music video, for the song. It was produced by Color - Sonics and played on Scopitone video jukeboxes. 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 ! The videos featured Sinatra wearing an iconic pair of boots. In popular culture The song was featured in Stanley Kubrick 's 1987 film Full Metal Jacket. In 2006, Pitchfork Media selected it as the 114th best song of the 1960s. Critic Tom Breihan described the song as `` maybe the finest bitchy kiss - off in pop history ''. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company used portions of the song for its 1960s ad campaign promoting its `` wide boots '' tires. Nancy Sinatra unsuccessfully sued Goodyear for using the song, claiming that it had violated her publicity rights. The song was included in the third episode of American action - comedy series The Good Guys, `` Broken Door Theory ''. In 2017, US Gymnast Ragan Smith used portions of the song as music for her floor routine. This song appears in the 2018 film Ocean 's 8.

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 in 2005. It became Simpson 's fifth top - twenty single in the United States, and its music video drew some controversy because of its sexual imagery. Recording and release 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. In an interview with GAC Nights, Jessica stated that her record label did not want to promote the song because of its country feel, even though the song is more pop than country. She said that she told the label `` It 's a great song and Willie Nelson 's on it with me '' and she said the label told her pop radio would n't understand that importance.

It reached the top ten on Billboard 's Pop 100 chart, and was Simpson 's first single to appear on the chart. On 11 December 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.

Released June 12, 1985 Genre Thrash metal Length 3 : 44 Label Combat Songwriter ( s ) Lee Hazlewood Producer ( s ) Megadeth Karat Faye 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 ''. Megadeth guitarist and frontman Dave Mustaine made the point that Hazlewood had been paid royalties for years before he made the complaint, although Mustaine eventually omitted the song anyway from newer pressings of the album. When the album was remixed in 2002, a censored version of the song was included as a bonus track. 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 1987 Megadeth re-recorded the song as part of the soundtrack for Penelope Spheeris ' movie Dudes, changing the title to `` These Boots Are Made for Walkin ' ''. 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 !
