You are talking about the era of free love and miniskirts. There`s nothing today that`s not already been. There just wasn`t any social media back then.
Yup, free lovin’ 60s explored all options
Free? Pssh. Cost me about 3.50.
Agree 10000%!!!
And no proof of anything we did, except for a few pictures here and there, thankfully.
Totally agree with you!’Nothing new under the sun, been there done that!!!
Everything was provocative in the 60's. And there were plenty of women who were proud of their legs.
Most important...that was regardless legs were beautiful or ugly !.
Some people have criticized the original 1960s Star Trek for putting their female crewmembers in micro-dresses and go-go boots. But the actresses were originally supposed to wear shirts and trousers -- it was Grace Lee Whitney, who played the Yeoman Rand character, who asked the costume designer to give her something that showed her legs, of which she was justifiably quite proud.
The mini skirts were Whitney's idea, but it came as a response to a "suggestion" Gene Roddenberry got from the network when Star Trek got the green light to go to series to make the female uniforms sexier. He shared it with his people and Whitney suggested the skirts to show off her dancer's legs.
Women in miniskirts was a common sight back then.
Not on the Ed Sullivan show : czcams.com/video/sbAM2HGGCVY/video.htmlsi=1jgm1CDnb393P9Zz
Hard to see any legs at all.
Agree 1000% with the an earlier comment. There is nothing today that`s not already been done in the 60's and 70's. And many times even more cutting edge in the 60's than in 2024!!!
So true! These young folks have zero idea what went down in the '60s & '70s!!! Musically, sexually, socially, politically, etc. After 1979, it was all been there done that. Yawn.
Or in the 1920's. That was a WILD time for women. What we call "miniskirts" were shocking the world back then, too, as was "free love" and girls going out drinking and smoking. There is indeed nothing new under the sun. (Read Aristotle on the shocking behavior of the young!)
@@mowerdan8133 Every generation thinks they invented "cool".
You have to remember we were listening to this on the radio for the most part. This video has to be from a tv show, so depending on the time it aired many of us would not have seen it.
On the other hand, there were so few shows then that when one was on many millions of people were watching. The number of people watching an Ed Sullivan episode was huge and dwarfed anything that shows get today.
Not on TV. It was a peepshow booth film in arcades and bars.
This was made for a video Jukebox called a Scopitone.
@@toastnjam7384 Thanks. That's what I meant to say.
How it was seen on the much more restrictive TV of 1966.

Thx y’all! The 60s was when provocative was let loose! All us boys loved Nancy! The wrecking crew played backup music.
You haven't read up on the 1920's. Talk about provocative! That was a big time for women letting loose and being scandalous in their dress. There is nothing new under the sun.
Not to provocative on TV though.

Absolutely true! Along with many other times in history. After the war the 50s seemed to be more happy.
Mini skirts were big in the sixties, we had girls sent home from school from time to time for skirts so short
The 80s folks were dressing retro. The 60s were all about pushing boundaries. Certainly in fashion. Mini-skirts and Go-Go boots.
Micro-mini's were pretty much the style of the time - especially in the entertainment industry. No one ever really defined the "legal" length of a micro-mini, some schools would send girls home to change according to their own rules, but micro was the style and length was really as short as any particular girl wanted to wear it....
Yes, remember the women's uniforms from the original Star Trek,
Always had to be past your fingertips while standing at every school I went to.
My mom was in high school during the late 60s when miniskirts were popular, but her parents wouldn't let her wear short skirts. So, when she left for school, she'd roll up her skirt to make it appear shorter, then roll it back down before she got home.
I remember watching this on TV. Good grief I'm old.😂😂
I was a young feller back then and hooey she gave me goosebumps..in a good way
Me, too! I was a little kid, but those miniskirts made a big impression on me.
Nancy was a huge advocate for the soldiers in Vietnam. She did several tours with other entertainers(Bob Hope) with the USO. Picture her doing this song in front of 20,000 GIs in Vietnam in 1967.
Goldie Hawn became known for dancing in a 2 piece and saying one liners on TV at the time.
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: "Sock it to me!!!"
Dancing while getting painted in a 2 piece.
You should try her title "Bang Bang"
Alternatively, the B.A. Robertson song with the same title!
😊👍
really great song
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 - Off-topic, but my 18-year-old Son likes to bring up Skinwalkers in conversation and is convinced that animals with reflective eyes are them, too! 😅
@@mightyV444 our powers reach that far, eh? ;)
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 - Apparently so! 😄
There weren't any music videos or social media in the 60s. All of the videos you see today from that era would have come from movies or television shows.
Peepshow booths in seedy arcades.
I remember hearing this song as a young girl. Nancy also had some other hits such as "Sugartown", "Bang Bang" & "Somethin' Stupid" a duet with her dad Frank Sinatra. Nancy recorded the title song from the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" in 1967. She also starred with Elvis Presley in "Speedway" in 1968. Nancy did a few collaborations with Lee Hazelwood including the songs "Summer Wine", "Jackson" & "Some Velvet Morning".
The 60s were much more risqué than today in some ways. The era of the micro mini skirt, bra burning, free love, communes, LSD, etc. The Swingin’ Sixties were a time of great social change. I was around but was a young child but i do remember this song.
I’m thinking that was “the pony” they were doing (dance)….?😊
At the end? Yes, it was. I remember it well.
Yes, yes yes, the hippies, miniskirts and rock and roll.....everything old is new again only in smaller increments today!
Hot pants, short shorts, mini skirts, micro minis, halter tops and sizzler dresses with matching bloomers. 60's & 70's fasion we all wore. Sexy but not too raunchy was in.
The lyrics are the same. Nancy also sang Bang Bang.
The dancers are basically GoGo Dancing. Most dance clubs in the late 60s has GoGo dancers, who were up on platforms or in "birdcages". They would dance in micromini skirts and Go Go boots while the music was playing.
As someone who grew up in the 60s, this song was one of my favorites. Nancy was so beautiful at that age. She's been a Playboy Centerfold twice.
One of the reasons she made the centerfold was because Hef just about worshipped her father. Security was always extremely tight at the Playboy Mansion, but there was a standing rule that only two people could show up unannounced and still be allowed on the premises anyway: Frank Sinatra and Queen Elizabeth II. As far as is known, neither of them ever took advantage of this indulgence.
What surprised me was seeing her on Tattletales and she was so conservative!
I love the word play of this song. "You keep lying, when you oughta be truthing."
Frank also had a son who was a successful singer, Frank Jr, but he was always in Dad's shadows.
As mentioned before, miniskirts were big in the 60's, and we were as distracted as you, Phil! I was in my teens then, and miniskirts were much appreciated. And also as mentioned before, there were girls sent home from school for wearing skirts that were too short. Every once in awhile, when school started in the morning, you'd see a few girls kneeling on the wooden floor near the front door with some teachers observing. They had to kneel with torsos straight up, and the hems of the skirts had to touch the floor. If not, call Mom, and off you go! Guys at our school also had a dress code. Our hair could not touch the collar of our shirts, or the tops of the ears. Our shirts were required to have collars, they had to button up to, but not including, the collar (dress shirt), and we couldn't wear blue jeans. Had to be slacks, although they did allow a new kind of pants called jean slacks. Basically just a dressier version of blue jeans, but they weren't blue. And no necklaces for guys. And, they frowned on rings for anyone, depending on the kind. Wrist watches were OK, and ID bracelets, which were a thing back then, were OK, too. You had to look like you were dressed to be somewhere important...like school, where you actually learned something useful. Like how to read and write, to start with. Two things that seem to be getting lost. Thanks for a great reaction to a fun song! God bless you!
In '68, '69, I got sent home repeatedly for wearing pants to school. A year later, they went on the approved dress code list! I suspect they finally figured out I liked walking 6 blocks home to change and then walking back.
This song was also used in the movie "Full Metal Jackets". Great video way ahead of its time... Loved it then and it still looks great...
The dancer in the red is a likeable actress named Terri Garr who went on to have a nice career. Younger folks may not be familiar with her as she stepped out of the public eye after confirming in 2002 that she had been diagnosed with multple sclerosis.
This video was actually made for a video Jukebox called a Scopitone. There's a bunch of Scopitone videos on YT.
Loved her in Speedway with Elvis !
The song was in "Full Metal Jacket"
Oh yeah, go-go dancers and the micro minis were definitely a thing in the 60's and 70's! Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
She did a song with her dad called Something stupid.
And did a song with Dean Martin called "Things".
Frank and her did a duet called “Saying Something Stupid“. It really wasn’t that risqué and the 60’s were a time when women were getting more daring. Mini Skirts and Go Go Boots.
@brianspradling8999 It's "Something Stupid."
She sang it with her brother!
@@visaman No, her father, Frank.
@@johntiggleman4686 check out her performance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
I was in grade school. My friend had a rec room in their garage. We played 45s. This is the only one I remember to this day. We felt so sassy dancing to it.
I agree about the vocals. I don't know how much vocal range Nancy Sinatra has, but this is the kind of song that anyone can sing.
it's a song that anyone can sing but I just like the sound of her voice anyway. Very charming.
Mini skirts and gogo boots were extremely popular in the 60's..
She did many duets with Lee Hazelwood that were popular (Summer Wine) as well as some motorcycle gang movies.
Their version of "Jackson" is also a good one as well.
Some Velvet Morning is fantastic
For those interested, Chuck Berghofer is playing that walking bass line on a standup double bass that we hear at the beginning and at the end of the choruses while Carole Kaye played electric bass throughout the song
That bass line is 🔥🔥🔥
Will forever remember this from the first scene after boot camp from, "Full metal jacket."
This came out when I was in 6th grade. No pants and certainly no blue jeans were allowed in school and stockings or opaques were mandatory- no bare legs! Our skirts could be no shorter than three inches from touching the floor when kneeling or we were sent home to change. By the time I graduated we were into mini-skirts, hot pants, and bell bottoms. More than a decade of assassinations, war, and the draft were finally ending and we graduated into the early 70s with gentle singer-song writers (don't miss out on Dan Fogelberg- "The Same Auld Lang Syne" "Leader of the Band" and "Old Tennessee") herbal tea, Boz Scaggs, and Kansas.
This particular video was known as a "Soundie." It played in a video jukebox that are also known as peepshows. A guy would put a quarter in the slot and the film would start. They were found in bars and pinball arcades. This would never be allowed on TV. Sinatra did a tamer version on Ed Sullivan.
I was around & watching. The boots they're wearing are a variation on go-go boots. Traditional go-go boots are white thigh high, zipper up the back, low heel. Please note that no matter how short our skirts got - we always wore hose or tights - no bare legs.. I don't remember this song being controversial - but I may have missed it. Try her recording of "Sugar Town".
The original go go boot was mid calf, not thigh high
Phil and Sam, Nancy also did some acting. She was the leading lady in one of the Elvis movies, "Speedway" (1968)
You might also want to check out Nancy's hit duet she did with her dad, "Something Stupid" as well as her version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" It's a cover of Cher's original but I personally like Nancy's version better and it was included on the soundtrack of the Quentin Tarantino movie, "Kill Bill"
This is what the 60's were about. Love your reactions! ♥
Nancy Sinatra was in a movie with Elvis Presley Speedway also starring Bill Bixby.
I remember seeing her on TV performing this song in front of our soldiers in Vietnam. She was with Bob Hope who entertained the troops .I'm definitely sure she raised our troops morale
The dresses at the beginning have always reminded me of what the women wore in the original Star Trek series.
Nothing better than a female alien in a Star Trek outfit (laughing)...
They had go-go boots and rock n Roll shoes too. The rock n roll shoes were usually black and white and of course they had Beatle Boots and Blue Suede Shoes too.
This video was produced for Scopitone video jukeboxes which were somewhat popular at mostly adult establishments in the 1960s. I think that's one of the reasons they were showing more legs, a little risque for American TV.
ladies of the day back then believe it or not were wearing miniskirts, out and about town. . . . she got a song with Lee Hazlewood, called 'Summer Wine' and it was a classic back then. . .
It was a catchy tune, and no controversy since this was after beach and surfer movies were popular very popular.
4:04 definitely was provocative! 😅 but it’s Nancy SINATRA. But it was so popular. I like another video where I think she’s wearing WHITE Go-Go’s❤
I listened to a lot of Nancy Sinatra's songs in the 60's and yes, she actually had a great voice.
Her iconic song. There's also "Bang Bang"
When this came out I was in 7th grade. I found a picture of Nancy Sinatra in a pink bikini, cut it out of the magazine and put it in my school notebook for "inspiration."
One day my deskmate (Kathy Hughes) needed to copy some notes I'd taken in class and I handed my notebook to her without thinking... and, of course, she looked thru my notebook and found the picture.
I was teased the rest of the year.
The song was pretty good for the times but her duet with Frank on "Something Stupid" was much better.
Agree with many below. This was a time when this was not unusual.
I still remember watching this performance on tv with my family. I was a kid then. Enjoy
She was on The Ed Sullivan Show quite a few times.
This was the 1st 45 I got. It came from my parents with my first record player! I think I was around 11!~ great times. She was the daughter of Frank Sinatra and this song was a mind blower at the time. This is about when panty hose started to become popular! Mini skirts helped bring on panty hose as garter belts didn't work well with mini skirts.
Makes sense that panty hose became popular during the mini skirt craze...
Nancy appeared in several motion pictures and had several television specials that were big rating hits. And not only was her father, Frank Sinatra an iconic singer, but he was also an Oscar-winning actor for the film "From Here to Eternity". Appeared in dozens of films in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And Gene Kelly taught him how to dance and he became very accomplished at it.
Those were great times for music. The music, the fashion, the lovely ladies. I wish they were the same today. When my mom was young, she looked like Nancy Sinatra and used to wear boots to work. So, when that song came out, her workmates used to call her "Boots."
Ahhhhh the 60’s! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
She had two further hits with, 'Something Stupid', a duet with her father, Frank. Her other duet hit was, 'Jackson', where she dueted with Lee Hazelwood. I'm surprised by your shock at the apparel. This was the sixties. As far as the short skirts and legs are concerned, it was not unusual at the time. Many of the stars and ordinary people (especially in the UK) wore mini-skirts and some of them were very much mini minis. I remember my father getting annoyed by the length of my sister's skirts, but even then, as soon as she was out of the house and out of sight, she used to roll it up further. There was even a car named after the mini (and it really was a mini, not like the mini of today which is just trading on the name).
This song was written by Lee Hazelwood and released in 1966. It reached #1 on Billboard and has been covered by Billy Ray Cyrus, Megadeath, and Jessica Simpson.
At the time I was into Motown and the Beatles who were beginning their psychedelic stage, so when it came out I thought it was catchy but cheesy.
🕊❤️🎼
I was a child in the 60s, and this song was so much fun to sing and dance to. Much like my own 10 year old daughter would later dance around to Brittney Spears. Nice? No. Fun? Yes. As far as mini-dresses go, remember this was the time of Star Trek and Lieutenant Uhura.
😊❤ Hi Phil and Sam! 😅 This was fun! 😅 Sam, I agree this song was very simple and a small vocal range. I can't think of a song but I know she has more to offer. I think this was meant to be kind of 'campy' and empowering women. Like saying, don't be a doormat, be the boots!! And speaking of boots, Nancy was wearing go-go boots. My experience and memories were that go-go boots were at least knee high, and they expanded to include over the knee and thigh high. 😮😅 What cracks me up is that they could show this type of content in entertainment. However, I distinctly remember that in TV shows, comedy or drama if they showed a married couples bedroom it always had twin beds!! They were not allowed to show, or even suggest two people in bed together!! 🤯😂 It could be a bit confusing for me growing up in this era!! LOL 😂 Luv you guys!! 😊❤❤
*"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)",* written and originally performed by Cher, was covered wonderfully and with a totally different, haunting atmosphere by Nancy Sinatra, and it was Nancy Sinatra's version that was chosen by Quentin Tarantino for prominent placement in his 2003 movie, "Kill Bill Volume 1".
Actually written by Sonny Bono, though specifically for Cher to sing.
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q Thanks for the correction. I knew that at one time, but got my wires crossed and misremembered. How could I forget Sonny?
I freaking love the 60s music. Being born in 1970 I however feel privileged to grow up in the best music Era ever. 60s 70s and 80s. Billy Ray Cyrus actually covered this song too. Great reaction guys. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
"Go go gadget"! Brilliant!
😂👍
Nancy also recorded one of the better Bond themes "You Only Live Twice" as well as a duet with her Father "Somethin' Stupid".
And "Bang Bang"
You should listen to her duets with Lee Hazelwood, 'Some Velvet Morning' and 'Summer Wine', two of my favs. 👍
Nancy had several hit records in the 60's and 70's. She also performed duets with her father Frank as well as a successful Sinatra Family Christmas album. She also had a couple of hits with singer Lee Hazlewood.
I remember when Nancy sang that back in the day... She had a nice little run with that song as I remember... Around that time she also did a movie with Elvis Presley and was romantically linked to him for a short time which her dad didn't like too much... As others have already probably commented, she did a duet with her dad that she got a little mileage from also to help her career...If memory serves, she was 44 when she tried to make a comeback in the music industry and once again her dad helped out by making appearances with her now and then to help boost her comeback career but it didn't work out for her and she kind of faded out of the limelight eventually only to do guest appearances on the occasional tv variety show... That's what I can recall from memory...however, the Google fact checkers that scan the comments looking to correct someone to feel important no doubt will give you exact dates and details after their research on google... Great reaction guys... See you on the next one... Keep being awesome !!!...
Nancy was also in an Elvis Movie. Stockings were a thing going back to the lake 30's.
My great grandmother was wearing go go boots and minis in the 50's. Lol.
In the 60's there wasn't anything like videos. Most of what you see from that time was either concert footage or a Piece of music from a TV show. The only other source would be "mini movies" made by the record companies to introduce a new act or new song to the DJ's of the time.
Miniskirts/dresses in the 60's were shorter than the have been since.As a young boy of 14 or so I appreciated them!LOL
As a teenager in Australia in the '60's, the lyrics were often described as somewhat provocative BUT remember most of us heard it on the radio! I can't remember seeing a video ....
probably because it was somewhat "shocking". Besides we saw the UK as the home of the miniskirt and all the associated fashions/behaviours, not the USA. That US awareness
started with the hippie/flower child movement incl. all the "free love" generation.
You should do a double feature. Simply irresistible by Robert Palmer for Phil and then Man! I feel like a Woman by Shania Twain for Samantha
I always smile anytime I hear this song
during the:
"You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'" part.
It is kind of a dumb line, but what can I say, I am easily amused
BARS & BARBELLS, give a listen to..."BANG,BANG"(1966) and her duet with Frank " SOMETHING STUPID " and the cover of " JACKSON "(1967) with Lee Hazelwood, and " SUGAR TOWN " (1967 ) " Boots " was written by Lee Hazelwood ( Her ex- husband ) . She re- release this song in 2000.
If I recall, she came up with the choreography, costumes, and all that herself. But this was prime 60's Summer of Love type stuff. The world didn't get raunchier, it just that social media has exposed it all. Humans have always been freaks in the sheets.
Oh yeah. Fun loving song.🌺
I was around 10yo when this song came out. My mother was watching the TV (yes we only had 1 lol) with me and she was shocked. I bought the 45rpm, but everytime I played it when mom was near, she would yell to turn that trash off. Funny thing about mom was she was one of the biggest Elvis fans ever and was perfectly fine with his hip movement. 🤣
Am I the only one who was picturing Sam in a miniskirt and boots? Lol... She would've rocked them for sure 😊 Nacy did a song Bang Bang... which I think was a cover... but she made it a hit... It was in the kill bill 1 movie
I was 9 when this was a hit. My parents wouldn't let me watch her performance on TV.
Sure was different back then for sure 🤔🤔
If you didn't know the music and couldn't hear it, then the movie clip would look like a group of happy go-go dancers in go-go boots looking flirtatious or seductive occasionally. If you listen to the lyrics without seeing the movie, then you hear a girl being very dissatisfied with her boyfriend, warning him she's going to walk over him.
So it's limping on two thoughts. But sounds catchy.
My first band used to play a sped-up punky version of this song, in the early 90's 😄
And I'd learnt about the existence of BASS via hearing it as an 8-year-old, in '78 😊
Skynyrd had a line aimed at Nancy’s song. If u listen to it you will hear line that says something about im gonna put my boots in the street !!!!!!
Her song Summer Wine with Lee Hazelwood was good too.
This song was written by her producer Lee Hazelwood who was a prolific songwriter. They collaborated on a few albums. You may remember on the Frank Sinatra Special with Elvis from1960, Frank introduces Elvis to Nancy. They later appeared together in the movie "Speedway".
I had a pair of go go boots that I tortured my mom for. I remember we went out in the snow. I feel terrible that my parents couldn’t afford them but I was relentless
Compared to the 60s/70s we live in prude times today, as your reaction is showing me. Legs and women with selfconvidence were everywhere - but in the case of this Song i prefer listening only because the itself Song is so fine and cool.
Yep! . . . . . I remember watching this , LIVE. . . . . I believe that the show was "Hullaballoo" or maybe "Shindig"
Before jungle boots were issued the leather boots rotted off your feet in Nam. A grunt sent his ruined boots to her with the note These Boots were made for walking.
👢 Start walkin’!!! ❤😊 A great classic, fun song! 🎶 👢
FYI....Jessica Simpson played Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazard remake in 2005. Her version of this song was on the soundtrack.
The 60s were unique. This was a catchy fun song. She did a great job with itas well as a duet with dad. But to be honest she would not be known at all if not for father Frank. Her brother Frank Jr has more of a singing career and toured for many years although he didn't have any hits to speak of. When Dad or mom is an icon no child could ever compare. Boots is still a good fun song.
Yes free love❤️
Before my time, but I was expose to music from my uncles and aunts. You don't have live in those times to appreciate good music. One of uncles served in Vietnam War, he used listen to Hank Williams a lot. As s kid I listened the oldies stations from time to time, the Moody Blues, Animals, and so on caught my attention.
Nancy Sinatra also co-stared in the Elvis-movie "Speedway" and sang the theme song of the James Bond-movie "You only live twice"
We didn't think anything about them showing their legs, because women were wearing miniskirts and the bikini had become very popular. On the original Star Trek TV show, the women cast members insisted that their uniforms have miniskirts, because women back then wanted Women's Liberation to be reflected in their comfort with showing as much leg as possible. Even as a kid, back then, I applauded their desire to break stereotypes and show the world that independent, powerful women can still be sexy and own it.
about 25 years ago Nancy was in Ply boy magazine i think she was 50.
