Oh wait... there's a SONG with the video??
Let's clear a couple of things up first:
1 - Jessica Simpson is smokin' hot in this video. I mean.. hells bells, she's AWESOME. It makes you want to drop to your knees and thank God women are still willing to be exploited by men. Long may it continue.
2. These Boots Are Made For Walkin' is a classic kitsch gem.
And it's just a pity that classic song and slobber-inducing video don't make for great cover version because, really - this is awful. Right from Jessica's "are you ready buououts?" attempt at a "drawl" to the barely audible vocals, it seems as if they're trying their best not to take the song seriously. Which is fine if the song is garbage, but this is a pop standard here, something that, done right, could have been excellent. Here it's just a waste of time. Worst part is the end, where Jessica says "Willie Nelson, everybody" in such an excited voice at the old coot standing next to her, when in reality she'd be like, "look.. I don't know who this is, but he's like, old and hairy and stuff."
My advice? By all means watch the video until your eyes burn out, but listen to something else whilst you're doing it.
