I didn’t know the backstory on this and hoo boy are you right. If a man had sung this we would not be discussing it in 2024 except for how awful it is haha
Love Nancy! Her TV duet with her father is precious. But about Lee "Phil Spector, who began his career working for Lee Hazlewood. 'Phil had just started to make records and he came over to Phoenix....'" Always thought that was a cool anecdote. Before he became the notorious gun nutter Phil changed the recording business he learned about Echo effects from Lee.
I remember seeing the debut of this on the Ed Sullivan show. As a perpetually horny teenager, the white mini and boots were an instant draw, didn't pay attention to the lyrics for many years till I was reading up on those to "Girl (You'll Be A Woman Soon") and "You're Having My Baby." Gee whiz, there were a lot of horrible songs then, but there are now too.
Lee Hazlewood has written some fantastic songs. Sure, he had some corny ones and questionable ones along the way, but also some classics like My Autumn’s Done Come, Summer Wine, After Six. And that baritone voice. I love it.
The 2002 compilation “These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (The Complete MGM Recordings)” has some real gems.

Great additional context, thanks Steve.

Interesting backstory !
Tis indeed. Thanks for reading!
Loved the song before 1997, but ever since that summer, it's always reminded me of "Austin Powers."

Thanks for reading and commenting! I almost used the Ed Sullivan appearance as the video embed too. 😆

Frank's daughter carved her own independent reputation with this song.
