A Month Of... Name Dropping...

Today, a woman with more front than most... Dolly Parton (I can't hear that name without laughing because there's a guy I know who wants to open a fish shop here and call it "Dolly's Partons"... now, that won't make a lot of sense to non-Orcadians, but here we call certain crabs partons) and "Jolene"...

Born To... Err... Rock...?

Jan. 19th, 1946 - Dolly Parton is born...

Now, she has her knockers (fnarr, fnarr), but she has got a great voice, powered by her impressive pair of... lungs (fnyurk, fnyurk) and she's kept abreast (harr, harr, harr) of female country stars for many, many years now, so titter ye not, missus! (Why do I appear to have been possessed by the ghosts of Sid James and Frankie Howerd for this post!?)

The Musical Interlude...

Subtitled: Work Sucks!

Dolly Parton and "9 To 5" (except for me today it's "8 To 5 And Open Over Dinner") - and it's even a karaoke version with the lyrics so you can sing along...

And "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" (lol) by The Pet Shop Boys...
