Sally Timms does a nice version of "Down From Dover." When I saw her a few years ago, she prefaced it by recounting a fantasy of running off to be lovers with Dolly and resting her head on Dolly's breasts.
One of my friends has interviewed her several times for assorted publications. One time, while they were walking and chatting, she turned a corner ahead of him and rammed his elbow with her breasts. "Oops," she said, "I didn't leak on you, did I?"
And the log-cabin reproduction at Dollywood of her childhood home is affecting despite the cheesiness, because you stick your head in there and try to imagine a couple of grown-ups and 10 kids all running around and it really is kind of amazing and it does tell you something about her resilience and also her affection for the place.
"Coat of Many Colors" made me all misty-eyed when I was a kid. (er, still does, actually.)

at least, i think it's dolly.
i can't offhand remember specific lyrics, i heard it on the radio a while back.
it's one of her uptempo, rocking, likely 70's/early 80's songs.the lyrics were somewhere like a cross between "here you come again" and "why'd you come here lookin' like that."
please help.

Here you come againJust when I’m about to make it work without youYou waltz right in the doorJust like you done beforeAnd wrap my heart ’round your little fingerHere you come againJust when I’m about to make it work without youYou look into my eyesAnd light those dreamy eyesAnd pretty soon I’m wonderin’How I came to doubt youAll you gotta doIs smile that smileAnd there go all my defensesJust leave it up to youAnd in a little whileYou’re messin’ up my mindAn’ fillin’ up my senses
Here you come againLookin’ better than a bodyHas a right toAn’ shakin’ me up soThat all I really knowIs here you come againAn’ here I go
All you gotta doIs smile that smileAnd there go all my defensesJust leave it up to youAnd in a little whileYou’re messin’ up my mindAn’ fillin’ up my senses
― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 10 December 2005 01:08 (eighteen years ago) link
it's a more uptempo, rocking song.
the lyrics that strike me as similar are pretty much "here you come again." the song i'm trying to recall has a lot of attitude in it.
i'm racking my brain.

Why'd you come in here lookin' like thatIn your cowboy boots and your painted-on jeansAll decked out like a cowgirl's dreamWhy'd you come in here looking like that
Here comes my babyDraggin' my heart behindHe's drivin' me crazyWho says love is blindHe's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mindBig ideas and a little behindOut with a different woman every nightBut I remember when he was mine
Why'd you come in here lookin' like thatIn your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeansAll decked out like a cowgirl's dreamWaltzing right in here lookin' like thatWhy'd you come in here lookin' like thatWhen you could stop traffic in a gunney sackWhy you're almost givin' me a heart attackWhen you waltz right in here lookin' like that
I just can't stand itTo see him on the townHe's out slow dancingWith every girl aroundI'm a softhearted woman he's a hardheaded manAnd he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he canHe's got himself a mean streak a half a mile wideBut now he's dancing on this heart of mine
Why'd you come in here lookin' like thatIn your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeansAll decked out like a cowgirl's dreamWhy'd you come in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like thatWhen you could stop traffic in a gunney sackWhy you're almost givin' me a heart attackWhen you waltz right in here lookin' like thatWhy'd you come in here lookin' like that

have been listening to dolly parton all day (and the great trio record). it's cool to suddenly step into about 7 acres of beautiful music.
― Dominique, Thursday, 30 August 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link
her recent bluegrass record is AWESOME
― chaki, Thursday, 30 August 2007 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link
The demo of "My Blue Tears" is better than the studio version.

Hey, which is the better album: The Grass is Blue or Halos and Horns?
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 30 August 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link
is anybody bummed that she feels the need to have all that shit done to her face?
― QuantumNoise, Thursday, 30 August 2007 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link
i have only heard grass is blue, and I like it.
all the plastic surgery stuff -- it's strange, because for someone else, it would seem freakish, but something about dolly parton just seems so normal and grounded that she could do almost anything, and I would still think she was pretty cool.
― Dominique, Thursday, 30 August 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link
and Trio record is greatness

― Lingbert, Saturday, 8 September 2007 03:26 (seventeen years ago) link
i agree re: surgery. doesn't bother me in the least. she seems like the coolest woman ever.
and the music, wow. subtle and moving at the same time that it is incredibly poppy and fun.
trio is breeeaaaataking!!!
wee listened to Hard Candy Christmas on xmas night the other night, and it was just perfect. perfect.

Getting sued by your own fans for lip syncing your entire show, classic or superclassic?

Oh shit, duh, yeah. Though Stevie's public prominence and musical output has faded significantly over the last few years.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 January 2024 15:16 (eight months ago) link
Honestly, come to think of it, I don't know much about Stevie Wonder personally. Is he a nice guy?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 January 2024 15:18 (eight months ago) link
True on the public prominence. His musical output has trailed off considerably but, then again, so kinda has Dolly's
― badpee pooper (Eric H.), Friday, 19 January 2024 15:28 (eight months ago) link
I was about to say! Parton released an album a couple months ago but it's not like she's been more prolific.

Come to think of it, Al has not released a new album in 10 years, either.

And with that, Dolly moves decisively into first place!
