Read about this in a book, Hollywood Hi-Fi and FINALLY I get to hear it! It's actually catchy- in one of those ways where you feel like you shouldn't like it, but you find you do!
They did it in the 1960s as a bit of a laugh, apparently they had to get Mcnee completely drunk before he would go in the recording studio. It was re-released in the early 90s for some reason and was a big hit.
The reason that "Kinky Boots" was reissued in 1990 was that Simon Mayo on Radio 1 at the time kept playing it on his show. I also remember it being played by Annie Nightingale on R1 in her "Bimbo Slot" on her Sunday night show. When the record finished, she said "now, doesn't that make you want to cringe?" That was in 1988 or 1989. Mike S.

What a horrible song, from the godawful phrasing, orchestration right through to the production values...
I LOVE IT! Thanks for posting.
Couldn't help but notice a slight similarity of the "boop boob" to Wild Man Fischer's song Merry Go Round (here on YouTube)

The sound of Patrick MacNee's voice is magic, especially the bit where he says "leather is so kinky". Dynamite.

I very much doubt Patrick Mcnee's line "Sexy little schoolgirls" would be allowed today!

It's been a long time since a lone DJ could get a song in the charts just by playing it, let alone get a 30 year old novelty song rereleased.
