No Dolly Parton thread? Well then -- classic or hyperclassic?

hmmm. interesting. what would she leak I wonder?

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 again
Just when I’m about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart ’round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I’m about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I’m wonderin’
How I came to doubt you
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You’re messin’ up my mind
An’ fillin’ up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin’ better than a body
Has a right to
An’ shakin’ me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An’ here I go

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You’re messin’ up my mind
An’ fillin’ up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin’ better than a body
Has a right to
An’ shakin’ me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An’ here I go

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.

My friend Eric said "This is going to make your hair stand on end" and played me the record. It made my hair stand on end.

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your cowboy boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here looking like that

Here comes my baby
Draggin' my heart behind
He's drivin' me crazy
Who says love is blind
He's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mind
Big ideas and a little behind
Out with a different woman every night
But I remember when he was mine

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Waltzing right in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that

I just can't stand it
To see him on the town
He's out slow dancing
With every girl around
I'm a softhearted woman he's a hardheaded man
And he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he can
He's got himself a mean streak a half a mile wide
But now he's dancing on this heart of mine

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that
Why'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.

her recent bluegrass record is AWESOME

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?

is anybody bummed that she feels the need to have all that shit done to her face?

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.

and Trio record is greatness

The demo of "My Blue Tears" is better than the studio version.
ysi??

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?

what??

???

Oh this might not have made the intl press but a few thousand people who attended her Rotterdam (i think) show are trying to get their 80 euro back after discovering obv lip syncing.

I haven't heard about that, but seems to be a common complaint on her recent tour.

I saw her on Larry King, and a caller asked if she'd had any work done. Without missing a beat, she said, "Hey, whenever's something saggin', baggin', or draggin', I gotta do what I can." Brilliant.

Major props for including "Imagine" in her sets when pro-war sentiment was at a fever pitch ('02-'03).

new album - "Backwoods Barbie" on Dolly Records

apparently it's her first mainstream country record in 15 years

Is Jack White involved?

i certainly hope not

Sanneh gave it thumbs-up on Sunday.

Happy 80th!

Here's a clip of Dolly covering Patty Griffin's great "Moses" with Bette Midler that I could watch on a loop forever:

I adore that video, too. Happy Birthday, Dolly.
