Talk:Jolene (song)

The article states: "It has been said that the original inspiration for "Jolene" was a red-headed bank teller whom Parton suspected her husband at the time was fantasizing about, due to his suddenly frequent trips to the bank, though Parton herself has stated on many occasions that her inspiration came from a little red-headed girl seeking an autograph after a concert who told the singer her name was "Jolene"."

A very fast search for this song in Youtube will reveal Dolly stating the back teller story.


Someone recently added the info that Cake_(band) also performed the song, however a quick google search appears to show that while that band does indeed have a song called Jolene, the lyrics appear to be very different from the song this page is about. Unless anyone knows better, I'll revert it in a few days Rpvdk 00:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Cakes 'Jolene' has nothing to do with this song. the name of the song just happens to be Jolene. - 209.248.175.82 13:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Track Listing

Is it documented other than on amzon.co.uk that on the Jolene Single Release of the White Stripes the song "Black Math" is included? The xlrecording shop only offers the single with "Jolene" on side 1 and "Do" on side 2. Are there different pressings of this single? [1] --145.254.51.76 16:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jolene (under blackpool light).jpg

Image:Jolene (under blackpool light).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
