Ep. 322: A discussion on Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5”

Dolly Parton was known far and wide as the Queen of Country Music, which is a title that was well-earned when you look back at her prolific career that spanned six decades. It was in 1980 that she made the leap onto the silver screen, starring alongside fellow female icons Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda in 9 to 5, a comedy that dealt with the very real struggles of the modern woman in the workplace. Dolly also penned the movie’s theme song, which went on to become a #1 crossover smash, as well as one of her most well-known hits. This week’s episode is an exploration of every aspect of “9 to 5,” a song that remains just as relatable today as when it was first written.
