Please tell me Jessica Simpson didn't remake "These Boots Are Made For . .

[gollygee]

Walking"

Please.

Pretty please.

The world didn't need that.

This isn't going to be on the radio all the time, is it?

[etherealtruth]

1. I regret to inform you ....

...that I must confirm your fears.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

2. I'll gladly tell you that

but I'd be lying

[LynneSin]

3. Not only did she make it but Xtians are upset their little girl...

...has made such a slutty video

[gollygee]

6. Well if she's pissed off a wacky fundie

then at least some good has come of it :D

[splat@14]

4. Really didn't need the original.....

[underpants]

5. Please tell me there are going to be a lot of UP shots in the video

Please.

Pretty please.

[getmeouttahere]

7. There is almost zero originality in music today....

so of course she remade it. The only pleasure I get from it is the Christian reaction to it, if she indeed is supposed to be some kind of poster child for conservative/christian living.

[GeekMonkey]

20. she is that poster child

she dumb as a brick and easily conned

perfect fodder for the religious right

(my apologies to any bricks who may be insulted by the comparison)

[tigereye]

29. OMG

you should have seen her in the promo for The Dukes of Hazard remake that I was so pleased to see when I took my kid to the movies. How do people like her manage to get to do anything? She's worse than Brittney.

it's just sad.

[northzax]

36. i don't think she's that dumb

I think she's very good at playing dumb.

[HuckleB]

40. Actually, there is plenty of original music out there.

Here are few acts, all of which have advanced music in some wonderful, creative ways...


Kinky,
Kurt Rosenwinkel,
El Gran Silencio,
Plastilina Mosh,
Tin Hat Trio,
Los Aterciopelados,
Titan,
Tomasz Stanko,
Marcin Wasilewski,
Po' Girl,
Dusminguet,
Ozomatli,
3 Leg Torso,
Panoptica,
Ted Nash,

[Botany]

8. Yes,

The magical voice of Ms. Simpson has done a cover of that
Nanci Sinatra classic.

BTW is it just me or is she just a little fake? Blond hair w/ Brown Eyes

"These boots were made for walking ..... :puke: "

[dogday]

9. And just maybe the DEA/FBI will use her song

as a type of torture to keep the rebels awake... She can only hope and pray

[leveymg]

10. Why not - Nancy Sinatra is obviously her role model.

Right down to her public support of an unjust war and a disgraced President.

[Oreo]

11. I just watched the video and all I have to say is...

THANKS to the fundies! I would never have seen it without your bitching about it.

Here's a link to the full video

[RubyDuby in GA]

15. All I have to say is Willie Nelson should be ashamed of himself

appearing in pathetic trash like that.

What a horrible remake! And who knew Elizabeth Shue could dance like that :shrug:

[gmoney]

17. Well, Willie's in the movie, so...

To be honest, they bill it as a "duet" but I can barely even hear his voice in it...

I'd say Willie's probably in it for the bare minimum required by his contract. Or maybe it was the only way he could get on the set for the car wash scene.

[NuttyFluffers]

39. i cringed in horror watching that video...

the remake is piss poor. sure jessica has a pretty hot body, but the remake of the music, especially that banjo replacement of the classic riff in the refrain, and the horrific ... oh god, ... the horror... and those boots! couldn't they have found better boots? the shame! the shame!

must all modern pop shite remind us painfully how much better music was back in the day? i mean, even one hit wonders are now coming off as musical geniuses. we really are a cultural cesspool now...

[gollygee]

12. Why did I put this in General Discussion?

This was meant to be in the Lounge.

Sorry mods. I'll go hang my head in shame in the corner now.

[derby378]

13. (From May 26, 2004) How creepy is Jessica Simpson's dad?

Many of us know that Jessica's father is also her business manager. Now she's releasing a line of edible body creams and reportedly playing the role of Daisy Duke (bun-hugging cutoffs and all) in a film version of The Dukes of Hazzard. Assuming that her dad is driving all this, just how creepy is he?

Nothing to see here; they're family, after all (2 votes - 11%)
A somewhat strange father/daughter bond, but don't sweat it (2 votes - 11%)
He's totally jealous of Nick Lachey (1 vote - 6%)
Don't let this man wash Jessica's laundry (2 votes - 11%)

And the crowd favorite, by a wide margin...

Two words: "Restraining Order" (11 votes - 61%)

Thank you, and good night!

[rocktivity]

14. Megadeth did the definitive remake

:headbang:
rocknation

[tigereye]

30. is that true?

that would be funny!

[gmoney]

16. Not only remade, but changed all the lyrics

So, maybe you can take some comfort in knowing she doesn't deliver the classic line:
"You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'"

[Cats Against Frist]

18. My subtext- meta-narrative- semiotic- deconstruct-o-meter just went off

I don't even know where to start, but I just watched the video. It was very, very creepy. The worst part was when they would do the cut-a-way shots to Nelson, who was just trying to look "tough" and all -- but it came out more like a grizzly, old bearded man, oggling the "puss in boots."

As long as there are people willing to buy -- as some posters in this thread have exhibited -- there will always be someone willing to pander to their dehumanization and constructed fake-o sexuality, and provide bodies as commerce.

I will say, though, that the Tammy Faye eye-makeup helped downplay her man chin...;)

[AGiordino]

19. Chin?

Makeup?

end of pathetic :sarcasm:

[ElectroPrincess]

21. Damn, I hated that song when it first came out from Nancy Sinatra!

I guess it's back I go to Classic Rock channels. Even they have more class than to play that nasty retread. :P

http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,408036,00.jpg

[meisje]

22. Maybe you don't get it, no one cares about he song or the lyrics

I mean c'mon!! ................c'mon!

[formernaderite]

23. you're right....certainly not after viewing the video

wink, wink..

[ConfuZed]

24. "These boobs are made for ----ing"?

...what I thought thats why these kids get implants?

[JVS]

28. nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!

[Malikshah]

27. OK Mr. Tikva

;)

[Parche]

25. boots

She needs to get one of those boots up her......................bleep

[JVS]

26. Please tell me that there is going be a music video

[MercutioATC]

35. But of course... Hint:

she washes a car in a very small bikini...

[Shell Beau]

31. Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it IS true!!!

[enigmatic]

32. Crispin Hellion Glover does the definitive version

It's not even close..

This is a staple on my Insane Music Program..

[Debi]

33. I thought she'd be the anti-Brittney. All she needs to do

is dump Nick and get knocked up by one of her dancers and they can all stroll down the yellow brick road together......

[KamaAina]

34. Is Condi Rice going to be in the video?

I hear she's got a thing for boots...

[Divameow77]

37. There is only one reason for this video

and it has nothing to do with the crappy remake of that song.

As much as I dislike her I am jealous of how her body looks though, damn.

[Enraged_Ape]

38. As lame is Jessica is, she is freaking HOT in that video

I think she's pretty non-talented, but even I have to admit that this video is quite...stimulating. So what if she's a soft-core porn actress rather than a singer/comedienne. She does what she does well.

Anyone who thinks differently is just not into the female gender.
