![]() ![]() Parton's closeness to Hozier's singing voice has even had fans second guessing if there's a deeper conspiracy to it all. In fact, Parton's ability to change her singing voice is one of her performance tricks, with the singer frequently going full-on Alvin and The Chipmunks on stage, impersonating herself as a 45 rpm record played at 78 rpm. Comments on the video question the legitimacy of the video, wondering if it's really Parton singing. In 2011 a YouTube channel posted "Jolene" slowed to 33 revolutions per minute (rpm), and has gained over 11 million views in the time since. Parton slowed down has long impressed the internet, with it simply taking on a whole other voice rather than sounding like her slowed down. "If you squint your ears, you can kind of hear Hozier, but mostly Dolly Parton mocking Hozier," joked one user. Smith instead tried it with the Parton classic "Jolene" and relatively unknown "Love, You're So Beautiful Tonight" which was reminiscent of Hozier, but according to fans, had too much twang. ![]() That time around, the Hozier to Parton conversion worked impressively well and was almost indistinguishable from her real singing voice for some with Here's a Dolly Parton 45 played as a 33! (sorry for my shaky hands and dusty set up) #dollyparton #9to5 #hozier #music ♬ Take Me to Church - HozierĪnother user responded in February, suggesting "9-5" can be turned into a slow ballad-style Hozier track by simply slowing it down on the record player. Smith went on to try out "Take Me To Church" sped up too, but the result wasn't half as effective as the original and fans found it sounded more like Parton's goddaughter Miley Cyrus.ĭespite Smith's attempt at making a Parton cover of "Take Me To Church" not proving as successful, TikTok user did it in February, writing, in a video that can be viewed here, that they "just accidentally discovered that if you play a Hozier 33 as a 45 you get Dolly Parton." Parton makes Appalachian music, which is deeply influenced by Irish and Scottish music at its core, while Hozier, who is Irish himself, is heavily influenced by folk. We are labeling this claim "True" because, to the best of Parton's recollection and records, she wrote both songs on the same "writing day." It's not an outlandish claim, and the length it takes to write a song doesn't dictate its popularity, as demonstrated by the reported 15 minutes it took Mariah Carey and producer Walter Afanasieff to pen the wildly popular holiday song "All I Want for Christmas Is You.To I’m absolutely shooketh in my bloomin’ pantaloons y’all #hozier #dollyparton ♬ original sound - Danielle SmithĪs noted by many fans, the similarity between the surprising pair likely comes from the Irish folk influence they both have in their music along with a whole load of coincidence. The same appears to be true for "Jolene," which pop superstar Miley Cyrus recently covered. She also said the song didn't gain international fame until 20 years after she wrote it, when Whitney Houston covered it for the soundtrack to the 1992 movie "The Bodyguard."īones noted that the song has withstood the test of time and has been covered and resurrected by each generation since it was written. ![]() Parton explained that she wrote the "I Will Always Love You" when she was on the verge of striking out on her own and leaving the Porter Wagoner Show, a process she described as emotional and difficult. So everybody said, what was you taking, that was a good writing day": "You wrote them in the same day?" Bones asked, to which Parton answered, "Yeah, I believe so, it was right in that period of time because I remember all my paperwork, and like they came out pretty close at the same time. At the same time I wrote 'Jolene.' That was a good writing day." Parton responded, "In 1972, I think I wrote it. In the interview, host Bones asked, "Tell me about this," before playing a portion of "I Will Always Love You." He then inquired, "You wrote the song. Parton said to the best of her recollection and records, she wrote "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" in one day (although a tweet posted online stated that she said she did so in one night). ![]() The interview in which the singer made the remark was recorded in 2017 on the "Bobby Bones Show," a syndicated radio talk show about country music. Dolly Parton is an iconic country music singer-songwriter, and in late October 2019, an interview went viral in which she revealed that in one day she wrote two songs which both eventually hit #1 on the Billboard County Music chart:ĭolly Parton wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You ON THE SAME NIGHT. ![]()
