Dolly Parton's song Jolene, slowed down to 33 rpm so that it sounds deeper and more drawn out. The short clip is a well-known example of how pitch-shifting changes a song's mood.
HN people point to it as a slowed-down song that sounds more plaintive and haunting.

Here's Dolly Parton's "Joeene" at 33rpm: [VIDEO] Sounds pretty good, though not exactly like Springsteen :)
It's a great song. Hearing it at 33 rpm [0] is a different experience still: it's almost more plaintive, more haunting. Worth a listen IMO. 0: [VIDEO]
