I've to do a short insert about a shoemaker for a radio show. Does anyone have any suggestions about a piece of music that might fit the theme?

"These Boots Are Made For Walking" - bit obvious perhaps.

It's the first one I thought of.

JAMC's "Sidewalking"?

or anything by Razorlight, as they're cobblers.

"My Adidas"

Kirsty MacColl's "In these shoes?", of course.

"Step On"!

"Bonus Stitch 1 & 2" - Groove Armada, from Northern Star. Amusing and apposite.

If you want to be more subtle, play something from Nu Shooz. Ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge. Ge-ge-ge-ge ge-ge!

anything by slowdive, ride...la la la

Hole In My Shoe might be perfect, if a little obvious.

I appreciate the suggestions.

Extension 2:

You may wish to eliminate the dance at the end of the lesson, stopping after the presentation about the historical shoes.

You may choose to add music to the dances.
