[@richardmeade8706]

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.

[@kathybwell]

Yup, free lovin’ 60s explored all options

[@Kaddywompous]

Free? Pssh. Cost me about 3.50.

[@gxl5892]

Agree 10000%!!!

[@laurakali6522]

And no proof of anything we did, except for a few pictures here and there, thankfully.

[@anna2mac550]

Totally agree with you!’Nothing new under the sun, been there done that!!!

[@robabiera733]

Everything was provocative in the 60's. And there were plenty of women who were proud of their legs.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Most important...that was regardless legs were beautiful or ugly !.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

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.

[@dangerousdavescott]

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.

[@toastnjam7384]

Women in miniskirts was a common sight back then.

[@johnd8892]

A huge radio hit in its day. Iconic song for that era.

[@gxl5892]

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!!!

[@mowerdan8133]

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.

[@Serai3]

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!)

Mini skirts were big in the sixties, we had girls sent home from school from time to time for skirts so short

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.

[@t.r.1708]

Absolutely true! Along with many other times in history. After the war the 50s seemed to be more happy.

[@billboyd9028]

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....

[@sherigrow6480]

Yes, remember the women's uniforms from the original Star Trek,

[@toodlescae]

Always had to be past your fingertips while standing at every school I went to.

[@doylescordy]

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.

[@karehelene]

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.

[@stickman1742]

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.

[@visaman]

Not on TV. It was a peepshow booth film in arcades and bars.

[@dagmar.6954]

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".

[@splitimage137.]

SOMETHIN' STUPID is a pretty creepy song when sung by a father/daughter duo... but, I like creepy ;)

[@PCallahanPhilly]

The 80s folks were dressing retro. The 60s were all about pushing boundaries. Certainly in fashion. Mini-skirts and Go-Go boots.

In an old interview, I saw recently, Goldie said that she and Judy Carne and Teresa Graves,, kinda shrugged and went along with it, when they asked them, to dance, painted and skimpy. She said they got into, the dancing, to their surprise. But, she said Ruth Buzzi and JoAnne Worley hated the dancing, when they had to do it.

[@jeffyoung801]

She did many duets with Lee Hazelwood that were popular (Summer Wine) as well as some motorcycle gang movies.

[@JulieS261]

Their version of "Jackson" is also a good one as well.

[@sukie584]

Some Velvet Morning is fantastic

[@George-kv6gm]

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!

[@suecook1326]

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.

[@RetiredSailor60]

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.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

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.

[@laurellane1721]

What surprised me was seeing her on Tattletales and she was so conservative!

[@ronrago2696]

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...

[@fifiladu2659]

This was such a societal pushback when I was a kid in the ‘60’s/70s. It was calculated to create a bold and risky mood, that really hit the spot. And yes- they were gogo boots, and I babysat to earn enough money to buy myself a pair! ☺️♥️

[@codyhenrichs9699]

Yes, yes yes, the hippies, miniskirts and rock and roll.....everything old is new again only in smaller increments today!

[@donaldduck2139]

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. . .

[@vickiloyall7002]

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.

[@pitapanda8319]

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".

[@leannmiller7153]

The original go go boot was mid calf, not thigh high

[@kennycates5344]

You should listen to her duets with Lee Hazelwood, 'Some Velvet Morning' and 'Summer Wine', two of my favs. 👍

[@dalemann4669]

Lee sang it first

[@breckrichardson390]

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.

[@brianspradlin8999]

[@andyallan2909]

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).

[@coffee-xg6my]

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"

[@threekidzmom04]

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.

[@Deborahtunes]

Makes sense that panty hose became popular during the mini skirt craze...

[@SteveCreveling]

I'm quite certain that the performance of this song very much appealed to most men of course but also to women because of the message of empowerment for women. I absolutely love Nancy Sinatra, my Favorite Sinatra. She was Fire Hot & a huge part of Miss Nancy's hotness was her showing her very Feisty Spunk in this song. No one else can really truly do justice to this song like Sinatra did.

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.

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.

[@lewistasso8866]

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."

And did a song with Dean Martin called "Things".

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 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

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.

FYI....Jessica Simpson played Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazard remake in 2005. Her version of this song was on the soundtrack.

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.

😊❤ 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!! 😊❤❤

Nylons became popular in the 1940’s the 1960’s was Go-Go Boots, Mini Skirts and Micro Mini Skirts, sprayed, dyed and piled a mile high hair. Plastic ‘Peek-A-Boo’ outfits were also a thing.

[@faithcat7675]

My great grandmother was wearing go go boots and minis in the 50's. Lol.

[@tinakensinger9586]

This song was originally written by Nancy's partner but they thought it was not right for a guy to sing it so Nancy said, "Let me sing it." I was little when it came out but was taught that it is pure Girl Power. It was my theme song from age 6 yr until now.

The 60s was free love, flowers in your hair, go-go boots and miniskirts (among other things) and by this point it was hardly shocking. This was actually mainstream. In the mid-1980s I worked for Easter Seals in Las Vegas. We got a call asking if we wanted a donation of an entire box car of white go-go boots. Sadly we declined despite brainstormimg about what on earth we could do with them!

[@wesalker3479]

Yep! . . . . . I remember watching this , LIVE. . . . . I believe that the show was "Hullaballoo" or maybe "Shindig"
