Dolly Parton At Glastonbury

Stereogum raves:
To be clear: Dolly Parton won Glastonbury simply by showing up. The 68-year-old country music legend is not the type to show up at every festival every summer, but she blessed the UK’s biggest one with her presence this past weekend. She also figured out a way to pay tribute to her host country in the most adorable way imaginable, while going viral in the process. During her performance, Parton pulled out a saxophone and covered “Yakety Sax,” the theme for the old Benny Hill Show.
Yakety Sax was actually first a US pop hit for Boots Randolph in 1963, six years before its first use on the Benny Hill Show.
