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. Nick Bonney was the guitarist for the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. According to Carol Kaye, `` Arranger Billy Strange believed in using the two basses together. Producer Lee Hazlewood asked Chuck to put a sliding run on the front of the tune. Chuck complied by playing notes about three tones apart ( 4 -- 6 frets apart ), but Lee stopped the take. ' No Chuck, make your sliding notes closer together ', and that is what you hear. '' According to Al Casey, `` Well, Lee and I had been friends forever, and he said, ' I 've got this song I 'm working on, and I want the guitar to play this. ' And he showed me, because there 's a little bit more than banging on an ' E-chord ', which is what most people do. There 's more to it than that. He said, ' I want you to do this on the song, ' and he sang the song and played the rhythm guitar lick, and I went ' Oh, that 's cute ! ', little suspecting it was gon na be huge. '' Nancy Sinatra would later record one of Don Lanier 's songs on her 1969 album Nancy. Personnel Other personnel, as seen in the American Federation of Musicians ( AFM ) contracts for the session include : Billy Strange - arranger, conductor, and guitar William Miller - ( unknown ) Don Lanier - guitar Lou Norell - guitar Jerry Cole - guitar William Pitman - guitar Don Randi - keyboard Richard Perissi - French horn Oliver Mitchell - trumpet Plas Johnson - tenor sax Nick Bonney - guitar Donald Frost - ( unknown ) Charles Berghofer - bass Eddie Brackett Jr. - engineer Emil Richards - percussion Jim Gordon - drums Roy V. Caton - ( contractor ) trumpet Lee Hazlewood - supervisor Release The second single taken from her debut album Boots, and follow - up to the minor hit `` So Long, Babe '', the song became an instant success. In late February 1966, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a move it replicated in similar charts across the world. When the single was first released, some thought it had to do with the subway strike in New York. 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 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 ''.

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. CD single `` These Boots Are Made for Walkin ' '' ( Radio edit ) - 4 : 10 `` With You ( Live from Universal Amphitheater ) `` Take My Breath Away '' ( Live from Universal Amphitheater ) `` I Think I 'm in Love with You '' ( Live from Universal Amphitheater ) `` These Boots Are Made for Walkin ' '' ( Video clip ) Chart performance `` 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 's 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 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. 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. Music video The video, directed by Brett Ratner, has caused some controversy because of its sexual imagery. Mostly having to do with Jessica shaking her rear to numerous men and rubbing her rear against a man 's crotch. The scene was well - publicized, with Simpson admitting to the public and the media that she went on the South Beach Diet to achieve her well - toned look in the video. Because of its sexual imagery, the music video is banned in all Middle Eastern and North African nations except Algeria, Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, and Turkey. In Malaysia, it was eventually edited with some of the scenes removed. It was parodied as `` The Dukes Are Not Worth Watching '' by MADtv, with Nicole Parker portraying Simpson.

Their version ( entitled `` These Boots '' ) featured altered lyrics, and 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 ?. Dika Newlin version In the 1995 documentary film Dika : Murder City, the 74 - year - old Dika Newlin, dressed in leather and backed by the band Apocowlypso, performed a punk rock version of the song in a concert sequence. Nicki Gillis version Nicki Gillis covered the song on her 2011 album Woman of Substance. The song has featured in Nicki 's live shows across the globe since she was 19 years old. Current performances retain the faithfulness of Nancy 's original vocals but with a contemporary heavier rock sound played by Nicki 's band. The version on her Woman of Substance album is a touch softer and more like the original Nancy Sinatra version from 1966. Marcia Hines version Marcia Hines covered the song in 2015, specifically for the trailer of season two of The Real Housewives of Melbourne.
