Dolly Parton and Jimmy Fallon have joined forces for a duet of a modern Christmas classic. On Friday, the country music legend, 74, debuted her first holiday album in 30 years, titled A Holly Dolly Christmas.
The new release features time-tested seasonal hits as well as originals, with collaborators like Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, Michael Bublé, Billy Ray Cyrus and Jimmy Fallon, who joins Parton for a rendition of Mariah Carey's 1994 song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
"Hey, Jimmy. I don't know how to say this without sounding all mushy and romantic," Parton says at the start of the track, as Fallon is heard replying, "I kinda like mushy and romantic."
"You do?" she responds, to which he says, "Yeah, especially this time of year."
"Well, woohoo!" Parton proclaims with a laugh. "Woohoo is right," says Fallon, 46. "I love you, Dolly. Always have, always will." Parton then says, "Aw, that's so sweet," as Fallon adds, "Now, what was it you were gonna say that was so 'mushy and romantic and all'? Also, what am I gonna get you for Christmas?"
"Well, all I want for Christmas is you," says Parton. Fallon agrees, saying, "I was thinking the same thing too."
"I have always wanted to sing a duet with you!" Parton tells Fallon. "So you can go first - uh, right after me."
"I can't believe this is happening right now," says Fallon before Parton begins singing the famous hit from Carey, 50, who just released her new album, The Rarities, on Friday.
