Country icon Dolly Parton came up with the perfect way to honor her husband's 79th birthday by revisiting the outfit she wore for the October 1978 issue of Playboy Magazine.

On Tuesday, Parton took to her social media pages and posted a video wishing her husband of 55 years, Carl Thomas Dean, a happy birthday.

"You're probably wondering why I'm dressed like this," said Parton—who donned the signature Playboy bunny ears, a black bustier, and a white bow tie.

The "Jolene" singer explained:

"Remember, some time back, I said I was going to pose in Playboy magazine when I was 75? Well, I'm 75, and they don't have a magazine anymore."
"But my husband always loved the original cover of Playboy, so I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy."

In the video, she showed viewers the gift she was going to surprise her hubby with—a frame containing a photo of her "butterball" self from the original Playboy shoot along with a new reenactment photo of her in the bunny suit.

The clip ended with a snapshot of Parton surprising her husband with the special gift.

Below is the photo that was taken for a Playboy portrait session in 1978 in Los Angeles.

Parton and Carl Thomas Dean were married on May 30, 1966, in Ringgold, Georgia.

While she does not use his surname professionally, she has stated her passport reads, "Dolly Parton Dean," and she sometimes uses his surname when signing contracts.

She has often commented on Dean's romantic side and how he often surprises her and writes her poems.

In 2011, Parton said of their marriage:

"We're really very proud of our marriage. It's the first for both of us. And the last."

Happy birthday, Carl!

You are truly blessed with the greatest gift of them all and we believe she "will always love you."

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
