This a cappella version of Jolene with Dolly Parton is perfection

By Anna O'Donoghue

Now Dolly Parton’s Jolene may be only a song that you jam out to at your cousin’s wedding - until now.

The 70-year-old teamed up with acclaimed a cappella group Pentatonix (because she's one of the cool kids you know) to re-visit the hit song and the result will make you fall in love with it all over again - trust us.

Pentatonix posted the video to their YouTube channel on Friday, and it has so far been watched by more than 7 million people.

The cover sees Parton sing the lead while the Grammy-winning a cappella group support with harmonies and rhythm.

The four-piece took to Twitter claiming the experience was a “a dream come true,” while Parton described it as “pure magic.”

We also sincerely apologise for getting the song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
