20 Greatest Empowering Break-Up Songs

15. These Boots Are Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra

The History: Released in 1966, it topped the charts in the US, UK, and Australia. It was also featured in the Full Metal Jacket soundtrack and The Dukes of Hazzard movie. It's been covered by Jessica Simpson, Megadeth, and many others.

Why It's Great: Because what girl wouldn't love to walk over her worst ex in a pair of awesome boots? In all seriousness, there's a reason why this song has been covered a million times over. Sinatra's daughter might not be a crooner like her dad, but she managed to carve out a really catchy song.
