I Wanna Put on my, my, my, my.....Platform Shoes!

I think there must have been an obsession  with being tall in the seventies because of the popularity of "height enhancing footwear" such as platform and elevator shoes.  Maybe Randy Newman's song "Short People Have No Reason to Live" made a lot of people start to worry that they were in fact a short person with no reason to live?! who knows...But it seems when it came to footwear, the chunkier and clunkier the better.
These shoes had a presence everywhere, in the halls of high schools, at the mall-remember most shopping malls in the seventies all seemed to have brown-tiled floors and those round-globe light fixtures along the walls? and of course at the disco.  There is a classic scene in what I consider the best movie about the seventies, Boogie Nights, where the lead character, Dirk Diggler played by Mark Wahlberg is in a shoe store buying some platforms and of course what song is playing during this scene? "Boogie Shoes" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band! But the seventies sure turned out some funky footwear, I guess it was to go with those lovely socks that were popular at the time....does anyone remember the rainbow socks with the separate toes? They were kind of like gloves for your feet but they were socks!
