![]() ![]() I was convinced I was the very first human to ever discover this wonderful vinyl speed-switching phenomenon, and since the internet didn’t exist, there was no proof I wasn’t (though later I’d learn on the internet that the The Chipmunks’ perfected their high pitched voices through speeding up the playback of normal-toned vocals).īut there’s something just a little alarming about a slowed-down song that first surfaced on YouTube over a year ago all of a sudden going viral. I later graduated to tinkering with Top 40 music, and when I put a 45 of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock n’ Roll” on the slower speed to sludge it out, I figured myself a damned genius. It changed the perspective of my entire little music world. But hell, I remember at some point when I was a little kid, I figured out how I could make all those boring family Christmas albums sound like they were sung by the bad asses of Christmas music known as The Chipmunks by kicking the speed up to 45 RPM on a 33 platter. It’s not that the slowed down song isn’t cool. I don’t know if it’s a bigger commentary on the state of social networking, or the serious depravity of truly meaningful modern songs that the most talked-about country music composition in the last week has been a version of Dolly Parton’s legacy recording “Jolene” put on a record player at a slower speed setting than normal, making it sound like it is sung by a man, and striking a deep 70’s era half-time groove. That's the true story of how Jolene came to be.“Hey, have you heard that version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”?!? You know, the one that’s all slowed down and stuff?!?” She says the bigger deal was that girl, the bank teller jealousy thing. It is true that my husband got a crush on a girl at the bank. And then she thought about her husband and how he would frequent the bank and she would tease him about how it was most likely because he had a crush on one of the bank tellers.Īnd so I just kind of drew from that little fun thing, that little jealous thing. So she's trying to figure out how to make the song commercial, how to fit it into the universe of radio that existed at that time. Then I thought, "Well what am I going to write about Jolene?" You know what? I had to have a real commercial story to get played on the radio. So all of a sudden, that became, and I was going, "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene." So Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, just so I'd remember the name. I said, "I may write a song about that someday and if you ever hear it, you'll know that I wrote that about you." So I was thinking, and I was going back to the bus, I was just trying to remember the name. When I was with the Porter Wagoner Show, we used to stay after the show, sit out on stage until every single autograph was signed from everybody in the audience and sometimes that took two and three hours and so I remember this one little girl came up and she said, "Would you sign my autograph? My name is Jolene."Īnd I said, "Oh, (singing) that's a beautiful name." I said, "I bet your dad's named Joe and you're named after your dad, right?"
