金髮鄉村天后Dolly Parton對台妹天后隔空喊話？


Dolly Parton, "Jolene"（1974年電視版）

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

好啦，我是故意的。兩者之間當然沒關係 -- 不過我一直覺得台灣女性典範的英文名字當初就是拼錯的，我還真沒看過有多少人名字拼成Jolin。

話說回來，要是Jolin有朝一日身材變得跟Dolly一樣 -- 英文傳說中的Hourglass沙漏身形 -- 或許也是因為前輩早在70年代就寫歌加持的緣故吧……（才怪）


The White Stripes, "Jolene"

白氏雙人組顯然挺喜愛這首曲子，各位看官有興趣的話，YouTube上有不少現場版本可找。

只能說，傑克白的唱腔反串女性角色還頗有模有樣。

好，題外話講完了。

人家Dolly早在1974年就出了一張名為Jolene的專輯。


Dolly Parton, Jolene

冠軍單曲"Jolene"自然稱得上是Dolly的招牌歌，但這張專輯中還收錄了一首日後威震四海的無敵名曲 -- "I Will Always Love You"。

根據史家的說法，Jolene這張專輯是Dolly Parton離開The Porter Wagoner Show單飛的首張大碟，"I Will Always Love You"這首歌其實是寫給老東家聽的 -- 放走這隻金雞母，有誰聽了這首歌不會熱淚兩行？

噢，對了，在電影中邊演邊唱這首歌也非愛不對人的Whitney Houston專利所有。人家Dolly在1982年的 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas <<春城花滿天>>就做過這件事了。
