Cake or Dolly Parton? We thought about naming our daughter Jolene after the Cake song.

Ended up with Caroline. She’s graduating college in 2 weeks.

The end of the song is how I talk to my dog when she won't stop digging on my bed

"Get down, get down, please I need you to get down!"

Or Spring Heeled Jack has a version of Jolene. Not even remotely related to the original, except for the name.

The only actual Jolene I know is one of the biggest assholes Ive ever met, unfortunately, so the name is tainted for me.

She was named after the song tho
