When I was 3, my favorite song was Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking.” I had my own little white go-go boots and family folklore has it that I used to sing the chorus to my babysitter, especially when she wanted me to settle down for a nap.
As I was thinking about what to write today, the lyrics popped into my head for some reason, so I looked it up on YouTube. There she is, in all her teased-hair-and-long-leg glory, super short dress (or long shirt, depending on your point of view) and go-go boots. I think this video is the grandmother of Beyonce’s Single Ladies. Check it out:
I like this as a theme song for Gilda’s Gang. While we won’t be walking the Country Music Marathon in go-go boots, we will be walking all over cancer (at least figuratively) with that same sassy attitude.
What song would you nominate for a theme song?
PS – Please join us on Saturday at 9 a.m. at Gilda’s Club Nashville for the kick-off celebration to Gilda’s Gang, a 15-week training program for the Country Music Marathon. We’d love to have you as part of the team!
Great blog, made me smile! All the best to Gilda’s Gang in the marathon – I’ll probably see you from the stage.
You should add Boots to your repertoire!
