A triple dose of These Boots Are Made For Walking? Here we go!

Ella Fitzgerald struts through These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ with effortless swing, turning the pop hit into pure jazz sophistication.

That same year, Canadian singer Muguette gave it a French twist.

Lee Hazlewood wrote the song for Nancy Sinatra in

actually shaking right now why did NOBODY tell me about the 1915 Taylor Holmes reading of Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘Boots’ why did I have to hear about it from a deep dive looking for the source of an instagram audio.

I am BEGGING you. If you’ve never connected much to poetry, never really got it, never much cared: LISTEN TO THIS. Listen to it and understand that this was 1915. They didn’t know what PTSD was. They don’t know what was happening to these boys. They were getting back their young men - 19 and 20 year old boys, and they were wrong, and they didn’t know why. And then they hear this? i. I cannot even describe how viscerally moving this is. You have to hear it yourself.

Nah-Nah =8P

In their third year as Beacon students team JNPR was sent out on what was supposed to be a simple grimm cull... it was anything but. Under assault from all sides Jaune made a final call, ordering a retreat... it was the last commend he ever made... as he was overtaken by the horde of grimm before reaching the safety of the evac bullhead.

So gathered in a small private conference room, Glynda Goodwitch proceeded to read out Jaune Arc's last will and testament to his grieving team mates.

Glynda: Now considering there are clauses in this document specifically related to Mr. Arc's family, and have been given permission I will address Jaune's final wishes for you... his team. Pyrrha openly crying.

Glynda: I Jaune Luna Arc being of sound mind and body hereby...

Nora: I wouldn't say that... is entirely true.

Glynda: divide the entirety of my estate as follows. To Pyrrha.

Civilian with passing resemblance to Jaune: Honey, they're talking about you.

Pyrrha: *sniffles* What?

Glynda: My dearest Pyrrha, the one who first believed in me and the future I wanted to achieve. My partner who helped me overcome my own foolishness and trained me to be not only a better combatant, but also a better person...

Pyrrha: *sniffles*

Glynda: ... and who abandoned me...

Pyrrha: WHAT?!?

Glynda: ... and our potential future because she was too afraid to take a risk... I leave you... A BOOT TO THE HEAD.

WHAP!

Glynda: And one for the wimp she chose to date...

WHAP!

Pyrrha: *shaking away the impact of Glynda's booted foot.* huh? What? I don't understand?

Glynda: Wait there's more... Dear Pyrrha I know you'll want something to remember me by, and you've always had your eye on my Pumpkin Pete Hoodie... so I...

Pyrrha: Thank you, Jaune... I'll cher...

Glynda: leave you a BOOT TO THE HEAD.

WHAP!

Glynda: And another one for the wimp!

WHAP!

Glynda: To my dear teammate Nora...

Nora: Ah no... I don't want no boot to the head.

Glynda: Who while made my life as a team leader very interesting, but also drove me to the brink of insanity with your vapid schemes and chaotic behavior...

Nora: *Ducking her head under the table* I'm covering my head!

Glynda: I leave three cases of pure Forever Fall refined tree sap...

Nora: Oh wow! Thanks Jau...

Glynda: and a BOOT TO THE HEAD.

WHAP! THUD!

Glynda: And another to Pyrrha and the wimp...

WHAP! WHAP!

THUD! THUD!

Glynda: To Ren...

Ren: It's okay. I don't want anything...

Glynda: ... my friend, and a rock on which I could rest when things were getting too much. You gave me health drinks and teas...

Ren: It was my pleasure...

Glynda: You did you best to curb in Nora and prevent me from strangling her...

Ren: I tried...

Glynda: a BOOT TO THE HEAD.

WHAP! THUD!

Glynda: In closing I hereby leave the entirety of my vast hidden fortune to the people of Vacuo... so they can finally move someplace nice... and a BOOT TO THE HEAD for Pyrrha and the wimp.

WHAP! WHAP! THUD! THUD!

Hmmm

[morte-a-elle-meme]

Only good shot in the whole Megamind show. If it lasted only a few seconds more it would be perfect.

...

Okay I guess these ones are good too *sigh*

Sure this scene looks straight out of a fanfic but I'd argue that at least elevates it a little bit above the rest of the show lol

It's interesting the information one can learn from even a trailer!

The voiceover for this trailer is incredible in terms of increasing the tension and apparently this is a recording of American actor Taylor Holmes reciting Rudyard Kipling's poem "Boots" from 1915 and that it's still used in psychological warfare training today!

Boots is a poem by English author and poet Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936). It was first published in 1903, in his collection The Five Nations. "Boots" imagines the repetitive thoughts of a British Army infantryman marching by forced marches in South Africa during the Second Boer War (which had ended in 1902). It has been said that if the first four words in each line are read at the rate of two words to the second, that gives the time to which the British foot soldier was accustomed to march. The 1915 spoken-word recording of the poem by American actor Taylor Holmes has been used for its psychological effect in U.S. military SERE schools. Holmes' recitation was also used for the first trailer for the 2025 zombie apocalypse movie 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle.
