Could Bunnie XO be teaming up with Dolly Parton? It’s possible, judging from a recent Facebook post from the entrepreneur in which she notes that 10-time Grammy-winning country icon could potentially be an upcoming guest on Bunnie’s popular Dumb Blonde podcast.
“Y’all, I MIGHT get Dolly Parton on the podcast this season and if I do I’ll faint,” Bunnie, who is married to country singer Jelly Roll, wrote on Facebook. “Like WHATTTT?? Queen MOTHER DOLLY – I’ll cry & croak all at the same time.”
Bunnie XO also noted that an appearance by the Country Music Hall of Famer would be a full-circle moment, saying, “I literally named my podcast as homage to her.”
“Dumb Blonde” is the name of Parton’s 1967 debut single, which was written by Curly Putman (“Green, Green Grass of Home,” “My Elusive Dreams”), and included on Parton’s debut album, Hello, I’m Dolly. “Dumb Blonde” reached No. 24 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart in 1967. The song includes the key lyrics, “Just because I’m blonde don’t think I’m dumb/ ‘Cause this dumb blonde ain’t nobody’s fool.”
In an interview with Music City News in 1967, Parton said of the song, “We went pickin’ material and wanted somethin’ that would be different and gimmicky that would get me on the road — somethin’ different — and we thought that suited me.” That interview was also included in the 2017 book Dolly on Dolly: Interviews and Encounters With Dolly Parton.
In 2018, the country star recorded a new version of the song with Miranda Lambert as part of the soundtrack to the film Dumplin‘.
Podcaster and media celebrity Bunnie XO launched her Dumb Blonde podcast in 2019, and has featured personalities and musicians including Demps, Melanie Martin, Dita Von Teese, Brantley Gilbert, Jelly Roll and Colt Ford. The podcast serves as a destination for Bunnie XO and her guests to open up about life, relationships, comedic moments and more.
