Parton up for Gaga duet

Dolly Parton wants to sing a duet with Lady Gaga.

The country singer admires the eccentric pop star and was so impressed with Gaga’s country-style version of her own hit 'Born This Way' she has decided they would make a great song together.

She told E! Online: "I think it's great. It's just wonderful. I love her. Maybe we should do something together."

The 'Nine 'til Five' star then joked that she could name herself after a chocolate snack popular in her native southern America to sound similar to Gaga's own unusual self-styled moniker.

She quipped: "GooGoo and Gaga! You know those GooGoo candy bars in Nashville? I could be Lady GooGoo."

Although more advanced in years, Dolly is similar to the 25-year-old 'Poker Face' singer because both are proud of their eccentricities and are seemingly unconcerned with what others think of them.

The 65-year-old music legend said: "I really do think that I stand for being proud of who you are and not worrying a lick about what other people think, really. I feel fortunate that I've never had to be anything other than myself."

Dolly has already teamed up with Queen Latifah - the two star as opposing choir members in new musical movie 'Joyful Noise’ and they sing together on two tracks.

Dolly said: "I wrote four of the numbers. There are a couple we got to do together. There's a lot of great music in the movie".
