Dolly Parton and Amy Sedaris? Together? In a country music video? Girl, that’s two kinds of crazy. Or is it? Is it crazy like a fox? Foxy ladies, that is. Actually, the more I think about it, the more this odd-couple coupling makes sense. Both ladies are hilarious. Both ladies are spunky. Both ladies are unique. And both ladies appreciate a good rack, err, of lamb. Ahem.In the video for “Better Get To Livin’,” Amy plays three characters in a female-empowerment carnival of sorts with Dolly as ringmaster. The video’s director told amysedarisrocks.com that the collaboration happened because of a monkey. Isn’t it always because of a monkey?
“I suggested (Amy) to Dolly and her team, and they thought it was a great idea. Next thing you know, we approached Amy and she said ‘yes.’ It was the promise that Amy would share a scene with a monkey, and of course, Dolly, that sealed the deal.”
Now you know I love me some Dolly. And I adore me some Amy. So to me this pairing is nothing short of awesome. Heck, I even like the song. Better get to livin’, indeed.

i'm so excited (and i just can't hide it), because i've got tickets to see her in Glasgow next year. yeehaa! and you've gotta love a woman who says "it's just as well i was born a woman, or i'd have been a drag queen"!
I love dolly. When asked how she felt about gay marriage, "Hell, yeah! Why shouldn't you folks suffer like us married people?" haha
Whoa, Dolly's frame is freaking me out ! Guess I'd never seen a video of hers. And another whoa: I can't believe you like that song !
Anyway, I'm not a big fan of her music (especially the more recent stuff) but I like what she stands for, being her own person and all. So props to The Dolly !
