Don't ask.

I'm really not sure why, but it occurred to me to wonder what songs -folk and otherwise have been sung about feet...

big feet, small feet, feet with shoes on or off, smelly feet, dirty feet, clean feet etc etc etc.

Is a list of songs about feet an important matter?

No.

Could a list of songs about feet be interesting & fun? I think so.

And so I step out in a new thread with the hope that these feet won't fail me now.

Join in if you're boots are made for walkin!

Of course, that "These Boots Are Made For Walking" was a big 1966? hit for Nancy Sinatra.

If you can get YouTube you can see this classic??? at

"Juba" is one of the more familiar secular African American songs from the 19th century or ealier.

Here's a Juba song from Thomas W. Talley's 1922 book "Negro Folk Songs" {Kennikat Prese Edition, 1968, p. 9}

Juba dis, an' Juba dat,
Juba skin dat Yaller Cat. Juba! Juba!

Juba jump an' Juba sing,
Juba cut dat Pigeon's Wing. Juba! Juba!

Juba, kick off Juba's shoe,
Juba, dance dat Juba Jew. Juba! Juba!

Juba, whirl dat foot about.
Juba, blow dat candle out. Juba! Juba!

Juba circle, Raise de Latch.
Juba do dat Long Dog Scratch. Juba! Juba!

-snip-

Talley notes that "the Pigeon Wing", "the Juba Jew", "Raise The Latch", and "the Long Dog Scratch" are specific dance steps.

As an instructional dance song, this version of Juba is a great great great granddaddy to instructional dance songs such as Wilson Picket's R&B song "Land Of A Thousand Dances" http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thefullmonty/landof1000dances.htm and Elephant Man's Dancehall Reggae song Pon De River {Pon De Bank} http://www.tsrocks.com/e/elephant_man_texts/pon_di_river_pon_di_bank.html

YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM YOUR FEET
(John Hartford)

You can run from your wife
You can run from the heat
But you can't run away from your feet
You can run from your life
You can run down the street
But you can't run away from your feet


Part your hair in the middle
Play an old fiddle
Play the old pieces very sweet
Pull an old bow
Not fast not slow
Just the right time for your feet

You can run from your wife
You can run from the heat
You can run from your life
But you can't run away from your feet



Part your hair in the middle
Play an old fiddle
Play the old pieces very sweet
Pull an old bow
Not fast not slow
Just the right time for your feet



You can eat sweet potatoes
Like you get down south
But you can't have a yam without your mouth
You can play, you can cheat
But you'll always keep the beat
Cuz you can't run away from your feet

recorded on "Vassar Clements/John Hartford/Dave Holland" Rounder Records, 1984

I think a number of 19th century and early-mid 20th century African American songs about feet size and songs about different kinds of shoes or people being shoeless reflect a growing preference for city ways and a growing distain for folks being "country" or acting "country".

Here's two examples from Talley's "Negro Folk Songs"-one of them makes reference to being shoeless, and the other-well, I'm sharing because it's related to this subject, and I believe it merits inclusion in a Mudcat music thread:

I'M A "ROUND-TOWN" GENTLEMAN
I Hain't no wagon, han'nt no dray,
Jes come to down wid a load o' hay.
I hain't no cornfield to go to bed
Wid a lot o' hay-seeds in my head.
I'se a "round -town" Gent an' I don't choose
To wuk in de mud, an' do widout shoes.

{Talley, pg. 108}

THIS SUN IS HOT
Dis sun are hot,

Dis grass grow furder dan I can reach;

From "The Ark" by Chad and Jeremy.


YOU NEED FEET
(traditional)

You need feet to stand up straight with
You need feet to kick your friends
You need feet to keep your socks on
And stop your legs from fraying at the ends

You need feet to join the army
And to dance the hoochy-koo (on Saturday night)
Yes the whole world needs feet for something
And I need feet to run away from you

There's one called "Yankee Boots" written by Jez Lowe.

And Yankee boots upon her feet she wore
To walk the stony streets of Boston

It took that night to get her dancing.

Is "You Need Feet" (posted above) really traditional?

It was issued on a single in 1958, on the B side of his top ten hit "Mad Passionate Love", and I believed it was written by him as a parody of the then recent hit by Max Bygraves "You Need Hands".

(The idea of it being recorded by Chad and Jeremy is bizarre!)

Black Socks

Black socks, they never get dirty.
The longer you wear them, the stronger they get.
Sometimes, I think I should wash them,
But something inside me keeps saying,
"Not yet, not yet, not yet..."

Learned from a six-year-old in New Hampshire, years ago. I've never done a search to check on its origins. I've used it as a round, too.

It's a tough feat, finding songs about feet and not ones that just mention feet.

But I'm not about to shoe any example away from this thread. Since I'm not footin the bill, I welcome all songs that speak of mean feats and wonderful feets.

This thread {or should it be this shoe lace? Naw, that's stretching it a bit too much}...As I was saying this thread is inclusive enough to include songs {or rhymes} about feet or toes, or boots or slippers or going barefoot.

I appreciate each and every example, so "On with the shoe"! *

Btw, upthread, a while back, I mentioned an instructional dance by Elepant Man called "Pon De River" {"Pon De Bank"}.

While that song isn't about feet, it does mention shoe. Therefore, it's fittin that I include this excerpt of that song itself:

Yea good to go

[Chorus ]
I've Seen Nuff Dance Before
But I've Never Seen A Dance Like This
I've Seen Nuff Dance Before
But A Dah One Yah Come Top Di List

[Verse 1]

This song is written & sung in Jamaican patois {pronounced "patwa"] . In my opinion, the use of patois in songs reflects the increased group pride and self-confidence Jamaicans have in their everyday spoken word.

Btw, here's some information on the deejay {vocalist} Elephant Man:
" Dubbed dumbo Elephant - supposedly for having larger than average ears like the Disney character - by member 'Crack Scull' at the age of 13, the name stuck with him until manhood when it evolved into Elephant Man. It was 'Crack Scull' who first took him to his studio in Seaview and encouraged him to make good use of the talents that were heard on the street corners and while hanging out at gates of other studios. Elephant Man had already discovered his talent at the age of 15 when he used to use school desks to beat out rhythms and rhymes to go along with them, when he determined that deejaying would be his ticket to success. Despite threats from his mother, who preferred him to 'go look work', Elephant persevered because of a conviction that deejaying was "his aim"...

Elephant Man has had an enviable career: appearing on every major show in the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas as a part of the Scare Dem Crew and is now ready to offer the same opportunity to younger artists by producing and mentoring - which he says is a way of developing the music and assuring his longevity in the business. Elephant recounts when he was just starting out, "Bounty [Bounty Killer, another dancehall reggae star who gave Elephant Man his start]say it a go hard fi one-one man bus out fi we come together den a bigger tings" - a philosophy which he plans to employ to develop talent around him."

http://www.reggae-vibes.com/profiles/elephantman/elephantman.htm


-snip-

I'd 'translate' that saying as "It's hard for one man to go it alone. He's liable to fail. But if we come together, we can do bigger things {and succeed}.

This is an old call & response, follow the leader processional chant with improvised rhyming verses. I believe that it is of African American origin, but I'm not sure of that.

The leader is supposed to add other rhyming verses using the same formula. I've used this song in children's after-school and summer programming and added other verses such as "Well, you stop right still/cock a doodle doodle doo/and you turn around/cockadoodle doodle doo/ and you touch the ground etc; "Put your hands in the air cock a doodle doodle doo/and wave them them up there" and "Put your hand on your nose and touch your toes." etc.

"Let your right foot slip" is performed to the beat by pointing your right toe in front of you one step and then pointing it in back.
I've found this movement mentioned in some early 20th century Afrian American dance songs {none of which I can think of now}.

A beautiful song by Sade called 'Pearls' ...


there is a woman in somalia
scraping for pearls on the roadside
there's a force stronger than nature
keeps her will alive
this is how she's dying
she's dying to survive
don't know what she's made of
i would like to be that brave

she cries to the heaven above
there is a storm in my heart
she lives a life she didn't choose
and it hurts like brand-new shoes

hurts like brand-new shoes

there is a woman in somalia
the sun gives her no mercy
the same sky we lay under
burns her to the bone
long as afternoon shadows
it's gonna take her to get home
each grain carefully wrapped up
pearls for her little girl

allelujah !!!
allelujah !!!

she lives in a world she didn't choose
