I had to (at least) get one more in before the deadline, so I wrote a rebuttle to Dolly Parton's "Jolene", basically saying how awesome Dolly is. Come on, she’s got nothing on Jolene.
Stripped down (for now), drums coming soon
All that you want to do
You can do cause you’re so cool
Whatever, we go through
I believe in you
Don’t have to go inside out
Cause I believe you without a doubt
No matter what it’s about
I believe you’re true
Dolly, it’s only you
Don’t worry your little mind
Dolly, we’ll see this through
Until the end of time
You are the very best thing
The reason that I sing
Don’t worry about Jolene
Shes nothing to you
I promise I’ve made my mind
I swear that it’s all a sign
There’s no way I could live my life
Without me with you
Dolly, it’s only you
Don’t worry your little mind
Dolly, we’ll see this through
Until the end of time
Dolly, I believe In you
And I’m gonna make you mine
Dolly, the secrets you
Are the apple of my eye
Dolly, Dolly Dolly Dolly

Oh, I adore Dolly too. And this sounds awesome! That last line of each verse, how you go up, so cool. And the steady doubled up vocals with one up an octave, gives it a solid backbone. Of course, the grungy electric adds yummy texture, like iceberg on a turkey sandwich :-) Drums will be the potato chips, haha, but honestly I don't really miss them.

Oh YES! I gotta hear this with drums. it's pretty rocking anyway though, and the tamborine will have to do for now. That chorus is so great, Don't wory about Jolene, she's nothing to you....ha!
