Another random shuffle from the overlooked gems in my collection, featuring Barry Adamson and the much-missed Anita Lane, tackling the Nancy Sinatra classic.
After several years of composing imaginary film music, These Boots Are Made For Walking appeared along with 16 original pieces of music on Barry Adamson's first official soundtrack for the 1991 movie Delusion. The trailer is available on YouTube and gives away enough of the plot in 2 minutes that you don't have to bother with the full one hour forty minute experience. Unless of course you're a massive Jerry Orbach fan and will watch anything that he's in.
If that's whet your appetite for more Boots, then there have been many, many cover versions over the last half century. I'll spare you Heaven 17 side project B.E.F.'s version featuring Paula Yates as frankly it's not very good (although was probably fun to record).
However, you lucky people can experience Symarip (These Boots Are Made For Stomping!), Beef, Eileen, Prince associate Apollonia and an unexpectedly kick-ass version from Boy George before returning to the Nancy Sinatra original.
