Dolly Parton has suggested that she might release a dance song in the future.

Digital Spy reports that the country icon said in a recent press conference that she has a number of gay-friendly tunes she could release to the public.

She said: "At some point I would like to do a dance record and I have several songs that are very positive towards the gay community. I have a song called 'Just A Wee Bit Gay'. It's a great little dance tune, it's funny and it's got a lot of comic in it. 

"I do write a lot of songs along those lines with people that are different and are just themselves."

Whilst the US icon is keen on swapping genres, indie star Jake Bugg recently said that he would like to try out country after seeing Parton play Glastonbury.

The singer-songwriter said: "I'm a fan of Dolly's beautiful voice and great songs. She's a woman with great stories, so Dolly is pretty cool...I've recently been coming up with ideas for songs and have come up with country ideas.

"Next year I'd like to have some time off to travel around to the southern states, [and] Nashville and Memphis, and hang out, get inspired, see what happens...maybe I'll make a country album which would be pretty sweet."
