Dolly Parton, the legendary country music singer, is returning with her renditions of Queen's immortal anthems, We Are the Champions, and We Will Rock You in anticipation of the Paris Olympics, which is just a year away. Parton has partnered with NBC for a collaboration that is sure to get fans excited for the upcoming games.
The video clip has gained immense popularity recently as it is set against the backdrop of picturesque Paris, & features Parton's powerful voice. The visuals are a combination of several clips from previous Olympic games. It’s not just an ode to the sports world but a celebration of music and the human spirit.
Parton expressed her love for the Olympics in a heartfelt statement: "I do my best to plan my schedule to watch as much of it as I possibly can. I tape it. Just in case I miss the live action on a certain day," she continued, "I watch it back as soon as possible."
Parton even opted to reverse the order of the songs, putting We Are the Champions before We Will Rock You. A change that has piqued the interest of long-time fans of classic rock.
The Queen covers are not the only tracks on Parton's upcoming album, Rockstar. The LP features a star-studded guest list. That includes Lizzo, Miley Cyrus, Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr, John Fogerty, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton, and many more artists.
Parton's distinct voice and upbeat personality breathed new life into classic Queen anthems. Furthermore, the nostalgic Olympic video clips serve as a reminder of the exciting competition that awaits the competitors in Paris next year.
This clip has piqued the interest of both Olympic and Parton fans.
