"Dirty Boots" is a song by American rock band Sonic Youth from their sixth studio album Goo (1990). It was released as the third and final single from the album in April, 1991, by DGC Records. The song was written and produced by Sonic Youth, with additional production from Nick Sansano and Ron Saint Germain. The single included five live tracks taken from a concert recorded on November 3, 1990 at University of California, Irvine's Crawford Hall in Irvine, California. The complete show was released in 2019 as Live In Irvine 1990, as part of the Sonic Youth Archive series of digital releases.
The music video for "Dirty Boots" was directed by Tamra Davis. The video features a boy and girl who meet and fall in love at a Sonic Youth concert. At the climax, both get onstage and kiss passionately while the band continues to play; both are then escorted by bouncers into the audience via stage dive. The video was shot in a now-defunct New York City club called Beowulf. The girl was played by Lisa Stansbury of Neptune, New Jersey. The band selected her after seeing her dance at a Dinosaur Jr. show at Maxwell's in Hoboken.
