On Oct. 22, 1974, country legend Dolly Parton released one among her most well liked songs, "Jolene." The song spent 19 weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and peaked at No. 1 on Feb. 2, 1974.
Was Jolene a real individual?
According to Dolly, Jolene existed. Turns out the song used to be impressed through a financial institution clerk who she caught flirting along with her husband, Carl.
"She got this terrible crush on my husband," Dolly explained in step with NPR. "And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention. It was kinda like a running joke between us — when I was saying, 'Hell, you're spending a lot of time at the bank. I don't believe we've got that kind of money.' So it's really an innocent song all around, but sounds like a dreadful one."
(Don't worry, Dolly and Carl are still together and not too long ago celebrated their fifty three years of marriage).
However, the bank clerk's name wasn't Jolene. The moniker came to Dolly as she used to be signing autographs and came across a tender lady "with beautiful red hair, this beautiful skin, these beautiful green eyes" named Jolene. The leisure, as they say, is historical past.
These memes prove that "Jolene" is a timeless track.
Over four a long time have handed and individuals are still obsessed with Dolly's pleading cries. The song has even been coated via a few of the biggest names in tune from Miley Cyrus — Dolly's goddaughter — to The White Stripes. Even if you're not partial to country track, you can give you the chance to get down with this song. Keep scrolling for the best Dolly Parton "Jolene" memes.
