"'Kinky Boots'" is a 1960s song written by Herbert Kretzmer and David Lee, and recorded by Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman, stars of the television series 'The Avengers'.
The music was commissioned by Ned Sherrin for the satirical television series 'That Was the Week That Was' and used in a sequence featuring the titular footwear (then fashionable). Lyrics were later added for a recording by Macnee and Blackman, released by Decca in February 1964.
The song was not initially a hit, but one re-release of 1990 reached the top ten of the British Singles Chart in December of that year, after the song was promoted by BBC Radio One DJ Simon Mayo.
The single peaked at No.5 (on Deram records label KINKY 1) and remained on the chart for seven weeks.[https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/Kinky%20Boots Official Charts Company - "Kinky Boots" UK Chart details] Prior to this, in 1977, it was placed at No.22 in the "Bottom 30" of Kenny Everett's World's Worst Wireless Show.
