Dolly Parton wants to clock in for the remake of "9 to 5."
The country music legend told E! News hosts Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester that she was excited about the Jennifer Aniston-produced remake of her 1980 film and first heard of the idea while filming the 2018 Netflix movie "Dumplin'" with the "Friends" alum.
"There was some mention she might want to do 9 to 5, and I said, ‘Oh, that would be great,'" Parton told E!
In the original film, best friend duo Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star alongside Parton as working women who want to get back at their misogynistic boss, played by the late Dabney Coleman. Her hit song — the film's title track — is one of Parton's best-known songs and helped her score a 1980 Oscar nomination as well as two Grammy statues.

"I'm hoping they use my song and I'm hoping they might find a way to have Lily, Jane and me come back in," she told the entertainment outlet. When Sylvester suggested that Parton's goddaughter Miley Cyrus portray the role she made famous in "9 to 5" in the remake, Parton said, "Wouldn't she be great? Well, she knows me!"
The "9 to 5" admission comes after the death of one Parton's co-stars in the film. Last month, she shared a heartfelt message following the death of Coleman, who died on May 16 at his home in Santa Monica, California.
"Dabney was a great actor and became a dear friend. He taught me so much when I was doing my first movie, 9 to 5," said Parton in an Instagram post honoring the six-time Emmy nominee. "He was funny, deep and smart. We remained friends through the years and I will miss him greatly as many people will."

Dolly Parton set to release new album tracing family roots later this year
And this year, Parton shows no signs of stopping — or slowing down — when it comes to her lengthy career. On Nov. 16, she will release a new album that traces the musical lineage from her family's roots in the United Kingdom in the 1600s to their home in Appalachia's Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
The album, "Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables," is set for release on vinyl and CD and via digital download and streaming. A four-part docuseries will accompany the album's release.
