Songs that make me irrationally crazy

Even though the lyrics revolve around being jealous of another woman, the origin of "Jolene" actually came from a much more innocent place.

"One night, I was on stage, and there was this beautiful little girl — she was probably eight years old at the time," Dolly told the outlet. "And she had this beautiful red hair, this beautiful skin, these beautiful green eyes, and she was looking up at me, holding, you know, for an autograph. I said, 'Well, you're the prettiest little thing I ever saw. So what is your name?' And she said, 'Jolene.' And I said, 'Jolene. Jolene. Jolene. Jolene.' I said, 'That is pretty. That sounds like a song. I'm going to write a song about that.'"

Lo and behold, she did just that. But while Dolly may have used the girl's name for her new song, she drew further inspiration from her own life story. Soon after Dolly married her husband Carl Dean in 1966, an attractive red-headed bank teller supposedly began flirting with him. This didn't sit well with Dolly and prompted her to write out her feelings.

Independent reports Dolly saying at a Glastonbury concert in the U.K.: "I wrote that [song] years ago when my husband … was spending a little more time with Jolene than I thought he should be. I put a stop to that. I got rid of that redhead woman in a hurry ... Had it not been for that woman I would never have written 'Jolene' and I wouldn't have made all that money, so thank you, Jolene."
