"'''Hi-Heel Sneakers'''" is a 1964 song and single by [[Tommy Tucker]]. |
|||
Over 200 [[musician|artists]] have [[sound recording and reproduction|recorded]] "Hi-Heel Sneakers". These include [[Carl Perkins]], [[Elvis Presley]], [[Jerry Lee Lewis]], [[The Everly Brothers]], [[Chuck Berry]], [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Paul McCartney]], [[Sammy Davis Jr.]], [[Janis Joplin]], [[Jose Feliciano]],[[Buddy Guy]] & [[Junior Wells]], [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]], [[John Lee Hooker]], [[Cleo Laine]], [[Pharoah Sanders]], [[Jerry Garcia]] and [[The Grateful Dead]] and [[Ramsey Lewis]]. There are many [[music video|videos]] on youtube.com with performances by [[The Searchers (band)|The Searchers]] on ''[[Shindig!]]'', [[Zsa Zsa Gabor]], [[The Mummies]], [[The Beatles]], [[The Rolling Stones]], [[The Faces]], [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] and many more. |
|||
The '''1930s''' were described as an abrupt shift to more radical and conservative lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the [[Great Depression]]. In [[East Asia]], the rise of [[militarism]] occurred. |
|||
The song, which Tucker [[songwriter|penned]], has appeared in several [[soundtrack]]s, for example [[The Who]]'s ''[[Quadrophenia (soundtrack)|Quadrophenia]]'' (1979); the [[HBO]] special ''The Promiseland''; [[film|motion pictures]], e.g. ''Lion of Africa'', ''[[Lackawanna Blues]]'', ''[[Frankie's House]]''; [[Advertising|commercial]] [[jingles]] and [[television]] shows such as ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'', [[sitcom]]s ''[[Rags to Riches]]'', ''Redd Foxx Show''; plus at [[sport]]ing events such as the women's NCAA Basketball Championship. In England there is a [[racehorse]] named High Heel Sneakers, plus in the [[Netherlands]] a musical group also has taken the name, High Heel Sneakers. |
|||
In [[Western Europe]], [[Australia]] and the [[United States]], more progressive reforms occurred as opposed to the extreme measures sought elsewhere. [[Roosevelt's New Deal]] attempted to use government spending to combat large-scale unemployment and severely negative growth. In Europe, multiple countries turn to authoritarian, nationalist, and [[fascist]] governments such as in [[Austria]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Hungary]], [[Portugal]], and [[Spain]]. Multiple countries in Europe reject the borders established after the [[Treaty of Versailles]] such as Germany, [[Hungary]], Italy, and the [[Soviet Union]] which sought expanding their territories in the decade. In Africa, the last non-colonized country, Ethiopia is occupied by Italian military forces. Entities in the [[British Empire]] experience an increase in power being decentralized by the [[United Kingdom]] to them in 1931 with the [[Statute of Westminster]], while [[Mohandas Gandhi]] continues his peaceful protests to demand independence for [[India]] from British colonial rule. East Asia has a number of major conflicts, including civil war in [[China]] between communists and nationalists, the invasion and occupation of [[Manchuria]] by [[Japan]], and war between China and Japan. |
|||
==Technology== |
|||
Many technological advances occurred in the 1930s, including: |

The Nazis dismantle parliamentary democracy and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship under Hitler. Germany rebounds in the international sphere culturally, economically, and militarily. Germany in this period hosted the Summer Olympic games of 1936 in Berlin, Germany experienced economic recovery, and there were vast investments in developing the German military, such as restoring the German air force (''[[Luftwaffe]]'') which was forbidden in the [[Treaty of Versailles]].

"Hi-Heel Sneakers" is a 1964 song and single by Tommy Tucker.
Over 200 artists have recorded "Hi-Heel Sneakers". These include Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Sammy Davis Jr., Janis Joplin, Jose Feliciano,Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Tom Jones, John Lee Hooker, Cleo Laine, Pharoah Sanders, Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead and Ramsey Lewis. There are many videos on youtube.com with performances by The Searchers on Shindig!, Zsa Zsa Gabor, The Mummies, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Faces, Sting and many more.
The song, which Tucker penned, has appeared in several soundtracks, for example The Who's Quadrophenia (1979); the HBO special The Promiseland; motion pictures, e.g. Lion of Africa, Lackawanna Blues, Frankie's House; commercial jingles and television shows such as Late Night with David Letterman, sitcoms Rags to Riches, Redd Foxx Show; plus at sporting events such as the women's NCAA Basketball Championship. In England there is a racehorse named High Heel Sneakers, plus in the Netherlands a musical group also has taken the name, High Heel Sneakers.
The opening verse "Put on your red dress, mama/'cause you're going out tonight" was used as the theme song at the beginning of a mid 1980s TV commercial for Fresh Start laundry detergent. The action: a mother receives a phone call from her husband saying that they were going out, the woman searches frantically for her red dress, only to find her daughter wearing it while playing "grown up". The mother then washes it quickly in time to "go out tonight."
