This is one fiery hot “Jolene” cover.
The stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” epically covered Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” to promote the new Netflix movie “Dumplin'”. Parton provides the music for the coming-of-age musical comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Danielle Macdonald.

“Come to the Smoky Mountains, they said. It’ll be fun they said. Where’re all the bears?” says drag queen Ginger Minj, who stumbles upon Parton’s statue in the video. “I know what you’re gonna say, girl: ‘Find out who you are and do it on purpose.’”
Queens Alaska, Katya Zamolodchikova, Bebe Zahara Benet, BenDeLaCreme and Manila Luzon also appear in the video.

The “Jolene” cover was given a minor tempo increase in the cover video. Minj actually has a significant role in “Dumplin'”, which features a newly recorded “strings only” version of “Jolene” for the film.
“Dumplin'” premiered Dec. 7 on the streaming service and has received mostly positive reviews.
