Bald Beatles Bald Beatles

JimBob’s Music Massacre continues in its quest to decipher the true meaning of all those songs where the lyrics just don’t quite make sense. This comedy music podcast features live music from guest musicians as Jim & Bob knead out the lyrical knots from some of their favourite songs.

 

This week they are joined by guest artist Pheobe Wright-Spinks and guest producer Mika Watkins as they try and work out just what Ringo was on about in a Beatles song written way before they’d consumed a whole load of chemical excuses. They also get into the nitty-gritty of one of Motorhead’s songs…even though if anyone had a chemical excuse for not making every line make sense; it would surely be Lemmy!

This live-music podcast analyses lyrics and sees the hosts joined by a guest musician each episode to perform the dubious segments of the songs. They then embark on light-hearted bantz and surreal tangents to make you chuckle and keep you entertained (in easily digestible, snack-sized chunks-of-content).

Jim and Bob’s weekly comedy podcast JimBob’s Music Massacre continues; featuring song lyrics and live music as they try to decipher all those not-quite-right lyrics that artists thought they’d got away with…until now!!

This week they are joined by guest artist Chris Price from the Unthanks to discuss how well Billy Bragg‘s song Sexuality might have gone down on the picket lines of South Yorkshire (where Chris hails from and the guys contemplate Chris might just be the best bassist ever to emerge from there). They also get themselves stuck into the infinitely regressive loop that is the song ‘What Makes You Beautiful‘ by One Direction, which might just be the thing that saves humanity from a Terminator-style robotic-dystopia!!

JOLENE ‘ANSWER’ SONGS

JOLENE ‘ANSWER’ SONGS

Dolly Parton is an extremely inspirational artist and therefore it comes as no surprise that she has proved the inspiration behind many different works of art. Her 1973 hit single ‘Jolene’ has proved the inspiration for loads of covers and at least 5 answer songs which are listed below. We also discuss whether Dolly is really being fair to Jolene in this week’s episode of JimBob’s Music Massacre.

Kirsty Maccoll’s 1994 single “Caroline” is an in-spirit response song to “Jolene,” in which the Jolene character grieves the loss of her best friend (the titular Caroline) after having an affair with Caroline’s husband.

In 2011, Estonian indie rock band Ewert and the Two Dragons released an answer song, also titled “Jolene,” in response to the original recording. In this version, Parton’s “man” directly addresses Jolene, telling her that nothing will ever happen between them and that his current lover would fight to get him back.

In 2013, country singer Jennifer Nettles recorded “That Girl,” which she stated in interviews should be subtitled “The Ballad of Jolene.” The song is written from the perspective of the Jolene character, who Nettle feels is unfairly maligned in the original song. In this version, the other woman is shown to have no interest in taking another woman’s man, and her song is in fact framed as a warning to Parton’s character that “her man” has a roving eye.  The concept of Dolly Parton suffering from paranoia regarding Jolene was also discussed in S01 E03 of musical comedy podcast JimBob’s Music Massacre in February 2018.

In 2013, The Beautiful South guitarist David Rotheray recorded an album of answer songs, among which is “Jolene’s Song,” performed by Julie Murphy. This version of Jolene is equally heartbroken to learn that the man who loves her belongs to another woman and expresses her pain at being painted as a heartless temptress by the original song.

In 2017, American singer-songwriter Cam released her single Diane in response to Parton’s song. The song is sung from Jolene’s point of view, where she sings to ‘Diane’, Parton’s character, and states that she did not know that ‘her man’ was her man. Cam noted to Rolling Stone Country that the song is her “response to Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene.’ It’s the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get. The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was married. Because everyone should be able to decide their own path in life, based on the truth. Women especially should do this for each other, since our self-worth can still be so wrapped up in our partners. And in true country fashion, I’ve set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can dance while you process it all.”
