Beyoncé took Dolly Parton's most famous hit about begging a woman to stay away from her man and switched it up -- going on the offensive ... and invoking the notorious 'Becky.'
Billy On 'Entourage' 'Memba Him?!'s most famous hit about begging a woman to stay away from her man and switched it up -- going on the offensive ... and invoking the notorious"Becky."
Whereas Dolly's version is quite literally pleading with a woman named Jolene -- who's portrayed as a beauty who's seducing Dolly's fictional husband -- Bey did the opposite ... and fired off warning shots to this"Jolene" and told her to steer clear from her own hubby. If it sounds like Beyonce is going after a particular lady here -- well, you'd be correct ... something Dolly herself alludes to in an interlude that comes before the song ... where she notes that Beyonce's fury is aimed at a fictional woman named Becky, a la 'Lemonade.'
