US music icon Nancy Sinatra, known as one of the most sultry sex sirens of the 1960s says the performances of female stars in modern videos are excessively sexualized.

The 74-year-old tells MailOnline, ”It’s unfortunate that women feel that they have to resort to something sensational. I think it’s better to really make yourself proud of your music.”

Nancy, whose 1966 hit ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ caused controversy for its raunchy imagery, added that: ”I think it’s better to really make yourself proud of your music and your songs and your voice, and not sensationalise everything. I think that’s disrespectful to yourself.”

Referring to the explicit videos, she said: ”We don’t need that stuff and people who are talented and who do good work don’t need that. They don’t need to resort to that.�We are foolish and foolhardy to promote that kind of behavior. All the videos I see now are sexy and raunchy, what’s the point? I don’t get it.”

Asked if her father, Frank Sinatra, would have approved, the singer and actress – whose signature mini-skirted look turned her into a sex symbol – replied: ”God no, he would have hated this.”
