Pretty Penny Shoes is about the fancy shoes that vocalist Sara Brown wears while on stage.
While performing Sara Brown is known for her elaborate dresses and fancy shoes, so much so, that she commissioned her husband (who also happens to play the bass for the band) to write a song about her shoes. The song is called "Pretty Penny Shoes" and was unfortunately cut from the broadcast episode but that doesn't mean you should miss out!

And Jesse Brown wrote this song, ah, something a lot of people don't know.
They assume I wrote it, but he asked me if I had any ideas about what we could write a song about.
And at the time, a lot of people were talking about the crazy shoes that I normally wear and pretty much I'm always wearing.
And so I thought, Well, it'd be really funny to just I mean, people are already talking about my crazy shoes, so let's just, let's just make a song about it.
And he was like, I do not want to write a song about shoes, but he did, and it's a great song and people really like it.
So this is Pretty Penny Shoes, which happened to be my favorite kind of shoes.
