Don't know exactly what prompted me to devote a song list to footwear. I own far less shoes than most adult men and only purchase a new pair when an old pair verges on falling apart. Anyway, here ya go:

Top 10: Songs about footwear

1. "Blue Suede Shoes," Carl Perkins/Elvis Presley

2. "My Adidas," Run-DMC

3. "These Boots Were Made For Walking," Nancy Sinatra

4. "Boots of Spanish Leather," Bob Dylan

5. "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes," Elvis Costello

6. "Fuck Me Pumps," Amy Winehouse

7. "(I Don't Want To) Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes," The Band

8. "Sailin' Shoes," Little Feat

9. "High Heel Sneakers," Tommy Tucker

10. "Bad Sneakers," Steely Dan

WHAT DID I MISS?

This just popped into my head, but how about "Boogie Shoes" by KC & The Sunshine Band?

"Whose bed have your boots been under?" by Shania Twain. And a million other country songs about boots.

Good call on all three. Much to our senior editor's chagrin, I've always had a soft spot for KC, probably because my dad played the Miami disco-funker a lot when I was a kid. A couple weeks ago, I risked the scornful looks of the hipster clerks at Vinvyl Fever and picked up a used copy of KC's greatest hits — and am loving it. By the way, Chuck Prophet did a great cover of "Boogie Shoes" a couple years back (last year?) at WMNF's Tropical Heatwave.

"Collarbone," my new favorite nonsensical song, by Fujiya & Miyagi ... it's not specifically about shoes, but shoes (and laces) are mentioned frequently. "First time her collarbone tripped over my shoelaces First time her collarbone tripped over my shoelaces First time her collarbone tripped over my shoelaces Over my shoelaces Yeah, over my shoelaces Got to get a new pair of shoes to kick it with her, not kick it with you ..." and so on.

Nice one, Leilani. No Phish or Umphrey's selections?

Later, O'Neill and reporters also asked about anecdote about his childhood. What is the effect, rather than Neil, interesting, and this is the last time O'Neal not afraid.
