Ayeeeee this one was so much fun!!!!! LOVE the final product!! Thank you for inviting me to this, man!!

THOMAS SINGING COUNTRY ISN'T SOMETHING I KNEW I NEEDED BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@thatsalaughandahalf]

HES A COUNTRY BOY NOW YEEHAW

[@fatcat1414]

This version makes it sound like Jolene is terrorizing an entire rural gay community by flirting with everyone's bisexual boyfriends at the same time.

[@nelly2958]

That’s exactly Whats happening

[@AilinRevan]

lmao

[@Hadeshy]

Yeah, I was so confused when the second one started singing. At first, I thought it was going to be Jolene POV and thought it was an interesting twist and... Wait, is this ANOTHER man? How many relationship is Jolene threatening?

[@ieatpie315]

LMAOOOOO YOU'RE SO RIGHT

Did not expect to see Thomas Sanders here, but his voice goes so well with Caleb and Jonathan's! Hope we get to see him in another collab sometime :D

[@moonwalker8391]

I love how country aspect and instrumental was kept in, but the cover sounds much more softer than the original

[@AlienWithABox]

This cover not genderswapping the lyrics makes it all the more powerful. I've always wanted a cover like this to exist. Thank you for making it!

I get what you mean, and of course you're right, but the funny thing is that genderswapping the lyrics would only make Jolene gay/bi, and the singer's girlfriend bisexual, so it's a win no matter what 😁

[@rachelnaylor5395]

Lil Nas X did a cover of this song. Not gender swapped

[@miningflame9847]

Thomas Sanders, Jonathan Young, AND Caleb Hyles?! We have been truly blessed! Also "Chills, literal chills!"

[@gray9818]

I'm always glad to not have genderswapped lyrics. It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, or pan when you sing Jolene she stole your man and you're gonna sing that with your God damn chest

[@gideongivesharrowboners]

Jolene is a blight upon all of our lands, we have to unite against her

[@santagonewrong]

Best thing about Jolene is it always comes across as queer. If it's sung by a man, he's worried about losing his man. If it's sung by a woman, there's some real sapphic undercurrents between her and Jolene. And if it's sung by someone non-binary, well it's just completely queer at that point.

[@KuroDokueki]

@@santagonewrong Absolutely. It's got some real queer energies to it. And I'm here for it. I blame, saying that jokingly, Dolly. Because she just puts her entire soul into singing about how beautiful Jolene is. And it's kind of amusing.

[@santagonewrong]

@@handlenot030 Huh? Not sure where you got that I hate women and/or lesbians. I am both, and I usually manage not to hate myself too too much. As for the "queer reaching", it literally is a song of her spending paragraphs describing how beautiful another woman is. I'm certainly not saying Dolly Parton is gay, but even she acknowledged that it's understandable why people heard it that way and thinks it's a "fun" read on the song.

[@daniobrien1049]

It can effect the connotation of some songs in which it sounds way creepier. The original I love rock and roll sounds so much creeper than the cover. That being said not changing it still adds a story to it. I definitely like this one. It could be jilted lovers of the man/ men Jolene took or of multiple friends talking about their friend marrying Jolene and they are no longer able to see him. Words and culture are a wonder in this world.

[@LyricDarkness]

All I can think about is that this girl walks into a ranch town full of bisexual men and flirts with them and they have a town meeting or a group meeting and they are just like “please leave the town Jolene you are messing up the whole towns relationships 😂 “ it’s a great cover though I love the way the vocals mix together and the instrumental is so nice with the vocals

[@greengeckygecko]

when i saw that thomas sanders was also singing in this i audibly gasped he has such a lovely voice and honestly, this kind of singing also really fits him!! ofcourse the other 2 lads did awesome aswell, always love the deep singing voice for country-ish songs

[@GustavoCalvo]

This needs to be sung live and make it like a bisexual drama.

[@ranga2050]

Put it into a musical theatre production, perhaps?

[@ilypopple]

YES

[@Darkeklaw]

Dolly would love this. She always loves other people's takes on her songs.

[@timberinspace]

Im so happy that you do more with Thomas Sanders! You three have an amazing dynamic when you sing! Its so calming and nice to listen to!

[@deniblackmore2179]

That was beautiful! I don't think I've ever heard Thomas before (very nice voice) but to hear this softer side of Caleb and Jon was so enjoyable. 👍 I'm not a huge country music fan but since finding the Caleb/Jon collaboration of "Country Roads" only recently I was kinda hoping to hear them do something more country style again as I thought their voices worked so well on it. This more gentle country style hit the spot. Great work, fellas ☺

[@Onsvaltti]

Really? He used to sing all the time during the Vine days :O

[@TekDrgn]

That harmonizing is pure ear candy on headphones

[@rpgrage7711]

Man in the past 2 days I've heard like 4 completely different genres from Caleb and it just proves my point that he can literally sing anything

[@brittanywetherill472]

The story in my head now: Old west settlers. A working community- maybe farms, maybe the railways, maybe mining. Something happens, and it is all men. Not actually too uncommon. Well, this little town quietly went full Greek soldiers, and are just falling in love with each other in pairs and groups, all the while always talking like one day there will be “a real town” with wives and kids. The first woman comes out there (let’s guess her profession, shall we?) name Jolene. Cue absolute townwide gay panic. Is he going to leave me???? Is today the day? Am I supposed to be attracted to her? I am right? And no one is actually talking to each other. Just quietly suffering in their own heads and pretending everything is fine. How it ends depends on if you like romantic comedies or tragedies. Either way- it would be an interesting story!

[@SIMPLY_GJ]

Man I'm hooked on this already- I would definitely read a story like this ✨️

[@ErdriedDeirdre]

This was beautiful!😮 Also thank you for not gender swapping the lyrics.

[@dechskaison2497]

[@minebrogaming1987]

Awesome cover as always ❤

[@rarazalproductions519]

This cover is really interesting, especially because the lyrics weren't genderswapped. Keeping them as they are, and assuming a somewhat historic-ish setting due to the country sound, we get the story of a gay man who is afraid he'll lose the one partner that he can be honest with. In 20th century rural America a man like him has a very slim chance of finding another lover, while the (presumably) straight or bi Jolene can be (at least partially) open about herself and thus has much more options. It transforms the song from a ballad about jealousy and "only loving the one" to a lament for a tiny pocket of honesty and love in a world that forces you to lie about yourself. Of course, that's mostly subtext and projection, but it feels very powerful to me.
