Jolene - The White Stripes

[sillygoose92]

it took a second for me to realize the picture was moving

[tomegaljevski]

wow this is like drug



[MattyTheBassist]

I love Dolly Parton, and I love The White Stripes, and I think this cover does the original justice, but I dont think its better than the original.

[AaronBasch]

Here's an even better cover of this song: soundcloud (dot) com (slash) aaronbasch/jolene-vocals-by-ka­­li-malone

[elizabethnewton1]

holy fucking eargasm every time i listen to this

[TheBIGchaPOWski]

Tbh he is sloppy but so was Hendrix, that made it his sound. It sounds like his fucking guitar is exploding when he plays it's fucking great. Not so much on this track

[TheBIGchaPOWski]

@dictator voted 17th best guitarist ever by rolling stone mag.

[B0ST0N09]

marry me jack white. just. marry. me.

[ramonalejandrosuare]

A lot of homophobes here. Its a fucking cover and the song is beautiful.

[12Fionnuala1]

Guitar riffs beat his voice in this version, but still pretty amazing

[WishItWas1969]

Gahh. I love the White Stripes, but this is embarrassing.

[Spar125]

wuld this make Jack white ghey?

[Since1845]

@Spar125 It's a cover of a Dolly Parton song.

[beatlesmania27]

I like the live version of all their songs better

[TerrorUschi]

Dolly Parton 4 ever! :)

[notThePiper]

better than the original.

[xostarling]

@notThePiper ..Wtf. No it isn't. It's good, but not as good as the original. :/

[mustangkari]

don't mess with a classic plz

[tawny1792]

Ive been listening to many covers of this song and though Jacks voice isnt near as good as most others for this song he is still the man for having the balls to sing this song, rocking the guitar and singing with more soul than any of the women who sing it!

[kellyphillips915]

I dig it.

[dictator54]

@TowrelieTowel0420 i would think you are the fukin idiot for this song has been covered by numerous artist in which happen to do alot better job than Jack White with his squeaky fukin voice

[marinaj88]

"jolene, please don't take my man" sounds funny from a man...

[PplRwIerd123456]

@marinaj88 yes  yes it does. normal though speking that it was written by a women

[eyesofjade625]

Just keep hitting replay....love it! :)

[dictator54]

guitar god ya'all must be on drugs what a fukin joke

[TowelieTowel0420]

@dictator54 Icky Thump. Listen. If that song alone is not a godly feat in your eyes, you my freind are a cold hearted fuckwad.

[yi12ya]

god bless you jack white

[rednecktallboy]

guitar god!!!

[Baphomet666100]

I love that band so much! oh boy! :D

[showimprovement]

wow ALOT of ppl have done this song

[Networkphantom]

Jack can simply make any song his own!!!

[gus7avbys]

To be really honest, he makes this song even better live

[bjorks007]

damn nice fuc*ing cover



[Phonogramme]

@bjorks007 k

[kamsonification]

Jolene Jolene Jolene JOOOOOOLENE!

[maggotface96]

sounds like the sound effect in that Stevie nicks song

[bubbah671]

jesse thomas just did this better.

[back2realitygal11]

@bubbah671 no

[back2realitygal11]

This is the best cover of Jolene, hands down.

[1871chalmers]

@back2realitygal11 Have you heard the Screaming Orphans' version?

[badkitty2706]

This is one of those songs I can listen to 100 times a day and it never gets old.

[idvacako]

Some people are saying better than the original...that is just sad cuz dolly sings this better than any version out there and I'm not even a fan of her! Seriously, this is not better than the original and personally not my fav cover of the song

(And now I will get thumbed down and people will reply by swearing at me and whatnot but whatever that's my opinion and it will not change by anyone who will write rude comments over the Internet so yeah go ahead and reply using rude words)

[FuckinGPeaCeOfChoCk]

@idvacako

which is your fav cover of this song ?

[idvacako]

@FuckinGPeaCeOfChoCk the mindy smith version isnt bad, but dollys version is my fav!

[dstroxell]

@FuckinGPeaCeOfChoCk me first and the gimme gimmes is fucking killer punk version of this classic.

[ILuvJohnnyDepp92]

amazing



[sabbath4eva]

i think the live version is better,just goes to show how good jack is.

[TheSmoky16]

This song is sex for my ears

[Deadcyde]

Danger danger, high voltage.

[rachelkelly219]

THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!!!!!! (i would of liked it better without the dog sound in the background though)

[siblington]

@rachelkelly219 Then just take your right earphone out

[DADOFJUNIOR]

@rachelkelly219

Would HAVE liked it. Pinhead.

[tony100percent]

some of you guys are, duh. mm drugs

[tony100percent]

This shit is great idk what some are r talking bout. Jacks the man



[carsonLILL]

the live version on xlrecording's page is alot better cause jack's emotions bleed through so much more

[saraeve35]

love the stripes but this sucks. Dolly is the only one who does this right

[rupturedtesticle]

So good.

[itsmyaeroplane87]

The "panting dog" is Meg White scraping a drumstick on the edge of her drum.

[suleymanova7]

I love love love love this cover!

[patrickwithiforce]

 i likes the disorder version

[XDantevsVergilX]

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

Im begging of you please don't take my man

[ehandkz]

@XDantevsVergilX Thanks for pointing out what we already hear in the song.

[XDantevsVergilX]

@ehandkz your welcome bro :D

[diehardhabsfan09]

jack white is the fucking man

[ellameow89]

better than the original

[joshuamartin1989]

i love the the white stripes they fuckin rock

[mcarter0629]

Anyone who commented something negative or disliked this song and/or band has taken another step towards showing they are musically retarded. No..you dont have a right to your opinion, freedom of speech shouldnt apply to you. This band and music is in a class of its own. Genius.

[phatminer]

If anyone has to try and explain to you Jack Whites genius and ability to do it his way then you aint never gonna get it

[riciy]

I once tried to sing like Jack White, then I took an arrow in the larynx, shot by my neighbour.

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@riciy Props for this.

[Chalkie462]

Thanks to the FASCIST bastard who removed my comment.You must be a white stripes fan.So because a bunch of W.S. fans dont like my comment and respond by posting abusive remarks about me THATS O.K.!!!!!! Why dont you remove their comments? ITS ABOUT FREE SPEECH DICKHEAD.

[acidtrip45]

@Chalkie462 you know what, i love white stripes. i love their music passionately, but i really want to know what you have to say.

[IvorBigg1]

@Chalkie462 fuck off you queer

[jaggerandjolenemommy]

great tune!... named one of my gorgeous dogs after this song...couldn't believe it when one of my favourite bands covered it! Sounds great.! ..thanks Jack! :) p.s. my girl howlin ... Jagger is waitin for a Stones song LOL

[jcacka18]

So...fuck the little red section in the like bar... what IM interested in is the little WHITE section in the like bar...

[Imagin8luv313]

Jolene is a HOLY WHORE!!!! I don't want to have to go up against her!!! "BYE-BYE my man"!!!

[TheErica404]

jolene you whore xD

[ehsonrad]

Looks like 271 people missed the like button

[wearsomepants56]

dolly parton sucks me

[StaininFr8s]

@chalkie462 lol at the troll

[Chalkie462]

To everyone out there who thinks this crap is a good version of Jolene GO BITE YOUR ASS AND TAKE THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gavinistheawesomest]

@Chalkie462 Suck my cock, ass fondler!

[elangiscool]

@Chalkie462 the original sucks balls, so this is way better

[Brujo2595]

@elangiscool no :)

[SethRasporich]

How can one with the name MrNirvana diss the white stripes? And claim to love country.. Ohh and by the way Jack white is the greatest musician to still be alive. Get bent bud.

[mrnirvana1000]

The white stripes have always sucked. If you aren't smart enough to know that country singers sing in perfect pitch and to perfection and unless you're a life long country singer you shouldn't try to cover any country song, then you're as dumb as you look..Jack White. Go sell your little crap songs to those that don't know music and just like red and white cloths. BTW I'm so glad you broke up. Good rid-dens!!

[phuckjyu]

@mrnirvana1000 lmao quite harsh but true.

[urk0522]

@mrnirvana1000 it's riddance, jack ass...if you're going to criticize someone at least have correct spelling/grammar...country sucks...bitch

[JoPo93]

@mrnirvana1000 pssshhhhhhhh "Country singers always sing in perfect pitch" eh? I bet you still believe in Santa clause and gay marriage.

[AutumnNatashaCole]

@mrnirvana1000 Everyone has their own taste in music. Just because you don't like The White Stripes doesn't mean other people don't, and it sure as hell doesn't mean they suck. They have millions of fans for a reason. Learn how to spell and construct your sentences correctly, then people might actually take you seriously. Good **riddance.

[dv940b2]

I've heard worse to be fair

[crazyharmless666]

...this cover is a horrible tragic event.....made even worse by the fact that the original was perfect already........he sounds like crap.....and anyone with half a brain knows i'm right =)

[VirtueCentral]

@crazyharmless666 would u prefer listen to corny ass perfect voices that are worked on 24/7 like justin beiber. rock & roll isnt about having a good voice, its about making quality music. i personally think his voice is fucking badass, its different, and sounds amazing. very unique and is perfect for rock music. go play with your barbie dolls listening to beiber.

[crazyharmless666]

@VirtueCentral it doesn't sound perfect for anything.....other than sounding like shit...... maybe his unique style is good for HIS music.....but for THIS cover.....its horrible.....and this kind of rock isn't about anything but making money anymore.....so save your self righteous rant about the purity of it all for some other chump =)

[KylaAmi]

This cover is amazing :) and for those that don't like it, everyone's entitled to their own opinions but didn't your mothers ever teach you if you dont have anything nice to say don't say it at all? So stop hate seshing in the comments for this song and take it elsewhere. thanks.

[HotBlueLightning]

@KylaAmi this song sucks donkey dick

[JesaStar]

@KylaAmi AMEN!

[crazyharmless666]

I'm sorry but this cover is fucking horrible.........i feel like i am taking crazy pills.....does no one else hear him not even hitting the notes? i appreciate diversity in music but for fucks sake when you can't even sing with proper pitch you need to stfu and just play guitar in a band....wake up and demand better music you simple fucks!

[pch8r]

@crazyharmless666 It's just the crazy pills kicking in.

[lavyheed]

@crazyharmless666 we all hear him not hitting the notes asshole lol....its not about being pitch perfect....its about the emotion hes putting into it....if you dont like it, fair enough, but why be an asshole about it??

[mamawammajammpoopmob]

tied with best cover ever,  behind mad world gary jules, and holy diver killswitch

[imaculentconcept]

Why am I turned on by this?

[MissHilaryMinnes]

I love this cover. For those of you saying this cover sucks, it doesn't suck, it's just not your style. The original version is amazing too, Dolly's a great C&W singer, but the white stripes definitely sing the best rock version. <3 love the song regardless.

[TomAlexWhyte4SALE]

it sounds like there is a dog panting in the background through the whole song ?? 

[tommonroe]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE

Just Jack doing his tricky stuff on the guitar. It is Jack singing. Has anyone heard Meg at all?

[norrisnick]

@tommonroe Actually I'm almost certain it's Meg rubbing a stick on the edge of a drum head. Note it does go away when she's beating on the snare but it's only there with the steady banging on the tambourine.

[riciy]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE that always trips me up while I'm driving...thinking the whole time "wtf is that, what's wrong with my car....oh, it's that song again"

[SuperSkyQueen]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE true- but the effects sounds interestingly good

[suicidesucks08]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE haha that or a washboard... didnt hear it until I was right on the speaker

[HotBlueLightning]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE now i can't help but notice it, and picture a dog with a paintbrush in its mouth. Its a long-haired golden retriever, and it ruins the fucking song. Thanks a lot.

[SethGabHokeypoke]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE

I think thats someone playin' the washboard. :)

[andrewmalcolmriddler]

@TomAlexWhyte4SALE

It seems too be a vinyl recording...with a very bad turntable.

[klaudia5kms]

love his high, pitched voice is amzing <3

i wish he could sing my name in this way

[clownpit]

anything white stripes do is awesome

[musicsk8lovereapeat]

I would never like this song if it wasnt for the white stripes, and i only like this version and the one with mumford and sons

[maxcohen13]

Ugh, terrible. If I was Dolly Parton I'd be pissed off.

The only good cover was by Alison Krauss (watch?v=iecixko7HbQ)

[tressybaby3]

@maxcohen13 delusional

[maxcohen13]

@tressybaby3

Good comeback, Potsie.

[tressybaby3]

@maxcohen13 that's not a comeback a comeback would involve you insulting me first, hopefully with something more creative than Potsie. Regardless listen to the live version of the white stripes cover of this from under the great white northern lights he absolutely kills it

[TheCatFromCheshire]

Jack friggin' White does it right. I love the White Stripes for songs like this :D

[Dravenswraith]

I petsonally think it's narrow minded to always have to change a song to fit gender for fear of being called gay,some ppl sing lyrics as written out of respect for the writer or to make it interesting or because they love the song

[IAmHitGirl94]

@Dravenswraith Exactly!

Just another reason why I love Jack.

He respects the writer enough and keeps the lyrics the same.

I hate it when I hear people change lyrics to fit their gender.

[vandydosensei]

@Dravenswraith also from what my music teacher told me, you're supposed to sing songs word for word unless you have consent from the copyright holder

[ishootme]

All you shut the fuck up

[yeoldwim]

off course ! doesn't every father wish for that ?? :-)

[shredsheffield]

this jolene gal sounds like a right slag..



[mynameisnobodyz]

great version

[yeoldwim]

yep. I only focused on the good sides of it. Hope she doesn't become a meneater or strutter like the other one

[aaronscrewme]

This song is disturbing.

[yeoldwim]

I will always remember in what year this song was a hit for the white stripes: only a few weeks after its release, our daughter was born. We had already decided on her name, but were very pleased to hear this fantastic song was revived by the White Stripes. And our Jolene, well, I hope she'll be as handsome and pretty as the Jolene Dolly song about ..

[Aei934]

@yeoldwim Have you listened to the lyrics?

[LB40186]

@yeoldwim You mean you hope your daughter runs around stealing boyfriends?

[Brzezin7]

youtube.com/watch?v=m2ZMvi2L6Y­g&feature=related - Check this version of Jolene from Poland

[Azrael1964]

'kcasey' needs lessons in grammar, spelling and construction. I find it hard to believe modern anglophones were around in 1065 to struggle with recognition of the English language. As it is, (and how did this all start anyway?), the anglophone american is generally incomprehensible in the ears of the civilised world today. I now flee from the podium and the barrage of verbal tomato throwing and return to some decent music .......I bid thee good day sir.

[happy1buuny]

@Azrael1964 OK if you really want to be a prick about it, you would have needed to say, "the american anglophone is generally incomprehensible to the ears of the civilized world today."

The expression would be used as such:

-IN the EYES of...

-TO the EARS of...

but since I am so much more intellectually hindered seeing as I am an "anglophone american" I will let this one slide.

[Gauntletdemon]

@happy1buuny you too, shut the fuck up.

[HiddenWoodsMedia]

@Gauntletdemon you too, shut the fuck up.

[Gauntletdemon]

@HiddenWoodsMedia no you shut the fuck up! cheek of ya telling me to shut the fuck up! >:(

[Gauntletdemon]

@HiddenWoodsMedia no you shut the fuck up! biatch!

[Azrael1964]

@happy1buuny I hang my head in shame at my misdemeanour, however the strident discord of the anglophone american does not imply intellectual disability, unless you're admitting something about the country as a whole. I needed to say that. Dont take it personally.

[Gauntletdemon]

@Azrael1964 shut the fuck up.

[Azrael1964]

@Gauntletdemon how should I shut a fuck up? You funny.....

[Gauntletdemon]

@Azrael1964 how about we all just shut the fuck up!

[ConstantCrisis]

I think this is my favorite cover.

[TheKidTrojan1]

why is kcasey rambling upon the english language what does that have to do with this song.

[SkinnyNail]

Jolene is like : " U jelly ? "

[mateuszjoeelf]

@SkinnyNail I hear "Joe Lynn":P if you know what i mean

[johncarralero]

@SkinnyNail hahahha u got it !!!

[remnantsounds]

Ah 240p we meet again....

[zilvee]

[GermUseless]

@remnantsounds who cares ? it's not even a video.

[noamIsr4]

[NothinButBadLuck]

What English language has to do with this song?

[rodrigow888]

Close your eyes , and imagine John lennon singing it ....

[vinniedurrant]

@rodrigow888 Open your eyes and absorb jack whites awsomeness

[MultiToksa]

[debi22]

[Nonno272]

[richiebridges816]

little kids make me laugh ..." hey man I discoverd this and the rest of U just dont know ..... " ...of coarse this is a Dolly Pardon song, idiots ....... listen to your local "alternative radio station " AND then so us all a favor and stick your head in the oven ..... next thing im goin g to hear is how green day started punk rock ......

[Dawnova]

@OSUbuck3y3 The Whites Stripes band is both Jack and Meg White.

[shadowhards]

How can somebody listen to this and say: ' Meh, kinda dislike it' :S

[Jellislee]

@shadowhards 260 people... ;) I think that are all little girls they are listening to justin bieber or something like that..they don't understand some good music...and this one is epic..

[shadowhards]

@Jellislee You're right! :) Jack is one of the greatest artist of this moment! He has a nice voice, and can play the guitar and piano very good!

[romkyns]

@Jellislee And when those little girls grow up they'll be leaving comments like this on Justin Bieber's videos, saying how *that* is good music, and the crap their kids listen to is rubbish. Circle of Life. Never fails.

[Jellislee]

@romkyns but I'm not one of these little girls grown up.. ;) But I know what you mean...

[HairyMossyTrees]

who the fuck would dislike this magic?

[85vanesacarilos5]

erm Always a good time with me

[hollandssimon]

Who would dislike this?
