TopicBeyonce did a cover of Jolene and it's even worse than you think it is.

Of course Dolly only has nice things to say. She might even really like it. That doesn't mean everyone needs to.

My issue with the changes she made is that they ruin what I get from the tone of the song. The musical feel of the song is the perfect backdrop for such a heartfelt lyrical plea - it's an absolutely beautiful composition.

Making the lyrics into more of a "fuck around and find out" story just conveys to me a lack of caring when it comes to that sort of thing; it's just making it about the threat she poses, not the one Jolene poses. It's too much of a departure.

I mentioned the song earlier, but I'll add the song itself, because I think it's a great example of the right tone for "fuck around and find out":
