mizztissa Top 10 Songs About Shoes Jan 26, 2008 8:04 AM Sometimes new and shiny, sometimes old and comfy, shoes have been a symbolic and staple item in songwriting for decades. Think about it: Shoes are something that just about everyone on the planet can relate to all while meaning something a bit different to each individual. Fancy shoes, comfy shoes, old shoes, new shoes, dancing shoes- shoes can change an attitude and define a generation. So here you go, our highly sought after list of “Top 10 Songs about Shoes!” 10. Who Wears These Shoes –Elton John: “If these crazy dreams don’t kill me It’s more than I can take from you Not knowing where or when I’ll see you Not knowing darling who wears these shoes”Sort of a Cinderella story with a twist, our boy Reginald (AKA Elton) has once again created a track that ha been utilized in countless television commercials and print ads to represent a highly sought after brand. Does he do this on purpose, or is it merely a coincidence? 9. Goody Two-Shoes –Adam Ant: “Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes Don’t drink, don’t smoke - what do you do? Don’t drink, don’t smoke - what do you do? Subtle innuendos follow Must be something inside”Adam Ant helped to define a generation of “growing up 80’s” tweens and teens…the make-up…the clothes…and we got to see it all on MTV! My guess was that Adam Ant was the farthest anyone could possibly be from being a “goody two shoes”, but that’s what made the song so memorable. 8. Walking in my Shoes –Depeche Mode: “Now I’m not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes” An extreme cult following is what’s kept Depeche Mode playing on the airwaves, for they haven’t releaased anything new for some time now. A creepy sort of sound combined with some haunting lyrics leaves listeners thinking about what they’ve just heard. Sure, it’s easy to judge someone, or even condemn them when we don’t know what they themselves have been through on their journey through life. 7. Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes – Paul Simon: “She’s a rich girl She don’t try to hide it Diamonds on the soles of her shoes” Whether he’s teaming up with Art Garfunkel, or flying solo in his musical career, Paul Simon is simply one of the most talented singer/songwriters in American music history. Lots of good tunes came out of Paul’s mind, including this classic about a rich girl that he’s referring to…could you imagine actually having diamonds on the soles of your shoes? I can’t imagine that they’d be very comfortable to walk in. 6. Old Brown Shoe –The Beatles: “Want a love that’s right Right is only half of what’s wrong I want a short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long Now I’m stepping out this old brown shoe Baby I’m in love with you I’m so glad you came here It won’t be the same now, I’m telling you” Any way you listen to it, one must agree that the Beatles wrote some interesting music, and nearly everyone is a fan of at least one song, be it in it’s original form, been redone or simply sampled into one of today’s top 40 hits. (If you want to add a bit of edge to this classic Beatles tune, might I suggest the out of the ordinary cover by the hard-core band “Korn”.) Anyways, there’s a symbol in this tune…something comfortable- an old brown shoe. 5. New Shoes –Paolo Nutini: “Hey, I put some new shoes on, And suddenly everything is right, I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody’s smiling, It so inviting…” This song has a catchy beat that couples quite nicely with the unique vocal stylings of Paolo Nutini. Paolo has a somewhat light, raspy voice that makes listeners of all ages truly believe that putting a pair of new shoes on can change the world…or at least one’s personal aspect of it. I happen to agree with this theory, as there’s nothing quite like your first day out in new shoes! Oh, and new socks are a nice touch. 4. Boogie Shoes- KC and the Sunshine Band: “I Want To Put On My My My My My Boogie Shoes Just To Boogie With You” The disco era wouldn’t have been complete without this tune from KC and the boys in 1978- a time in American history when bellbottoms were groovy and John Travolta made white suits with black shirts totally happenin’ in a far out kinda way. Time of your life, ‘eh Johnny? 3. Footloose- Kenny Loggins: “Now I gotta cut loose, footloose Kick off my Sunday shoes Please Louise pull me off of my knees Jack, get back Come on before we crack Lose your blues everybody cut footloose” This was a great song from the 80’s- the title track from the original motion picture soundtrack “Footloose” starring Kevin Bacon as a teenaged boy who loved to party and moved to a town where there were “No Dances Allowed” due to a horrific post-prom car accident. The moral of the story? Everybody’s gotta cut “Footloose” every once in a while! 2. Blue Suede Shoes -Carl Perkins: “Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, Honey, lay off of my shoes Don’t you step on my Blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.” Even though this song was made incredibly popular by Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins was the man who wrote this baby and recorded it for millions of fans for both current-at-the-time and future generations. I personally have a pair of blue suede boots…and if anyone stepped on them, I’d be pretty upset. 1. The Boots are Made for Walking- Nancy Sinatra, Jr.: “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.” The only female “junior” in music history sang a song about her boots walking all over a guy that has seemingly walked all over her. With a bit of a country “twang”, Miss Jr. gets her point across in quite a unique fashion, for this song has been included in many a movie soundtrack, including “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” during the introduction to the “fem-bots” scene. I absolutely love the boots these go-go looking robots were wearing…great stuff! From... http://www.mizztissa.com/blog/2008/01/26/top-10-songs-about-shoes/
