The Sisters Of Mercy Jolene

[NicholasC713]

I think whoever is taking his man should fear for their lives :|

[Bluelunes]

It looks like this picture was taken in the States. Damn shame they haven't come back here in so long, I'd drive all the fxcking way to Detroit too, if they'd come around.

[Kittee23]

Something amusing listening to Andrew sing about a girl that he can't compete with trying to steal his man xD Love it

[MrSornoshadow]

Jolene! Please don't take him just because you can! I love The Sisters of Mercy Covers! like 1969!

[sseguro]

woooooaaaaaaaa...Great version!!!!!!!

[bloderme]

Andrew warum singst du uber eine Frau versucht, Ihren Mann wegzunehmen? Wollen Sie uns etwas mitteilen? Und beenden Sie Ihren Kopf rasieren, du siehst wie ein Homosexuell Mann auf Castro Street.

[livadi9]

@bloderme ??Probleme mit Schwulen, Süßer??

[siouxsieandziggy]

The Sisters Of Mercy are my favorite band besides Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees................... I love you Andrew~ Please come back to USA, its been too damn long!!!!!!!

[rockerbunny96]

This cover makes me forgive Dolly Parton for making this song...Eldrich is a master at his craft.

[sleepIessL]

so fucking awesome

[VoodooUprising]

SISTERHOOD DOING jOLENE (MARX, ADAMS, ELDRITCH, HUSSEY & Dr. Avalanche) thatz whats up......

[CountessxStrange]

I love them for life! <3

[aglassford123]

that isn't even music it's so awful. my ears are bleeding.

[PsychoKungfu1]

Its verry oldschool, but never to old for school!

[MrFlatmint]

Why is there a picture of Michael Jackson above? And who are those other geezers with him?

[Alejandramoss]

horrible

[Panzho121]

This sucks

[pepsinthegarden]

Thanks God for YouTube.

[VoodooUprising]

Gary Marx, Craig Adams, Andrew Eldritch, Wayne Hussey are the Sisters after the WAKE 85 sounding to much like metal hair band but evolution and change is always good. Sisterhood 4evah............Leeds

[gcrambo]

I like the Sisters but this sucks, see v=fBoTwOTKw0I instead!

[devo9xx]

Looooove it and remember it well live !!!!

[zwobn]

[SnorkieL]

Haven't heard this in years. Very cool.

[caste0]

[PhallicFruits]

[Princebyror]

SOM - first and last - and always!

[dreamshad0ws]

[cucumbers66]

[littlejoshandjack]

fkn ace........wot else can i say?

[TheMrFuckit]

just WOW.....******

[adriebm]

Sisters of Mercy rules!

[JiS01]

White Stripes & SOM this the best covers by far.... and most of their covers are quite AWESOME, so thats no coincidence!!!

[jonharri17]

best cover ever, saw them at Leeds poly 20 years ago and this or any other video clip does not do it justice.

[neeters5]

F R E A K I N A W E S O M E ! ! ! ! ! !

[phatmatt885]

goddamn SoM never stops amazing me =D This cover is freakin awesome! i just recently started listening to strawberry switchblade and their version of Jolene (which is also kick-ass) and then i stumble across this =D

[eddiewillers1]

Best version EVAH!

What did Dolly P think of it?

[gavkav1]

@eddiewillers1 according to Eldritch in an interview (circa 1989) they had had to stop performing it after receiving a 'cease and desist' letter from her lawyers. But they played it loud and rocking when I seen them live in Hamburg in 1990!

[jspoons6619]

@gavkav1 jo, war geil, ne? Ich war auch da ;-)

[TheSodiumhaze]

We used to slam dance to this! Camp as Xmas! Love it!

[ttastev]

@TheSodiumhaze what else could you you do to such a brill song. cool as flip!!

[hardstreetbambi]

lol, most unfitting band to sing it ever, yet it works!!

[watchtower183]

Epic...

[igoersch]

Só um idiota responde a uma pergunta com outra, já diria Bolaños.

[kamaloka7]

whatever andrew sings sounds great

[MarcoFunBass]

Nice Song!!!! Thanks Dolly!! Sisters or better Andrew Eldrich Forever!!!. Greetz to the Gothic Scene of the North in North Germany and Norway From Oslo

[Zeebo89]

boooooooooo!!!

[YagamiWay94]

yeh!!

SOM ver is beautyful!

I prefere it than da original...xD!

and I like White Stripes ver too!!

yeh I love musique...

I am not part of da society.

[Guenhwyvar12]

You mean the original version of Jolene? If I am not mistaken, Dolly Parton did the original. Hardly what I would consider gothic.

Love the Sisters version

[RubenvonZwack]

If you look into Dolly Parton's lyrics, often they are quite dark!

[mcpvc]

The original is a very gothic song. Good choice!

[gothpaladin]

The Sisters of Mercy often covered this song in concert as part of a series of tasteful but goth-"uncool" covers to provoke the audience. It can be heard on their live bootleg Amphetamine-Boeblingen...

XD

Very Eccentric Mr. Eldritch XD, anyway , great cover XD

[Weirdbald]

Yeah, this song was meant to subvert the usual rock posturing - Eldritch was all about ironically sending up his role. The Sisters went one further when they did a version of Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme...

[doctorwhonico]

Then you have to hear "The leather Nun" version of "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" !!!

[mentalmoses]

wicked post. not heard this for absolutely years.

excellent. they had a good old northen sense of humour too. :D

[flymurdererfly]

I totally cracked up! These guys have a sense of humor! :D LOL

[margenat]

Excellent cover, thank's for posting.

[W13bristol]

Not only was this one of the best covers the Sisters did (and they did loads), I liked Eldritch's rationale behind it... "an abrogation of the duty of the frontman to go out there and say girls, suck my d**k"

Class in a f***ing glass. Remain to me the greatest band of all time.

[HarryUpHarry]

Downvoted for swearing like a girl

[VitriolXandakas]

Plus, as Andrew had stated in an interview, he loves singing "give me back my man" songs ;)

[javitoheroina]

dick? fucking?

[weewees1]

my husband knows someone who owns this 12" promotion and i wish it was mine as this is brilliant

[HarryUpHarry]

Stab him and sell the vinyl?

[krillin876]

i cant believe they covered this song

[opller]

great cover

[JiS01]

Kick ass cover!!!! LOVE IT!

[platypusboy]

very cool cover

[quettierr]

SOM for ever andrew always in my soul !!!

[IvanSorath]

The sisters of Mercy 4 life

[carapils1]

tofu, sweety, get a grip! white stripes tried, tried hard, but never, ever came close to SoM!

[naqqoyqatsi]

they did it better? well..you need a doctor :)

[MEDVE1978]

The best remake of the Dolly Parton Song I've ever heard..

[keybender]

Best Rock version for sure, Mindy Smith and Jil Johnson do really good country covers of Jolene.

[zensorship]

@MEDVE1978

Almost.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes play it even better!

watch?v=Mxrl4i0XiiU

[servo1056]

@MEDVE1978 you mean a loretta lynn cover.

[TheMadamespank]

@servo1056 You mean a Dolly Parton cover.

[servo1056]

@TheMadamespank loretta sang it too.

[TheMadamespank]

@servo1056 Sorry, I'm just correcting the technicality. If Dolly Parton wrote and sang "Jolene" originally, then this is a cover of a Dolly Parton song, but I won't dispute Loretta singing it as well.

Love this cover and The Sisters of Mercy regardless.

[servo1056]

@TheMadamespank yeah...youtube comments are terribly vague.1 comment and before you know it you got 20 people correcting every little thing you type...its kinda funny...interesting story about this cover for me...i bought an old misfits 7' bootleg called "horrorshow"sideA"halloween"si­deb"nike-a-gogo" but sideb had this sisters song on it instead of the misfits song...that was the first time i heard this song...

[tiana1017]

@MEDVE1978 jeez i would hate the hear the worse remake if this is the best remake

[RecordsAdNauseam666]

@MEDVE1978 what about Strawberry Switchblade??!?!?!

[BurningTheFields]

Point completely missed, I believe.

[FiremaniacVg]

fanfuckingtastic

[buckiemohawk]

awesome remake of a dolly parton song

[Hexenweib1971]

great... 5* anf fav!
