"This Ain't Dallas" (song)

[ClassyCo]

Anyone like this 1985 country single by Hank Williams Jr? It was quite popular, peaking at #4 on the country charts, the same year DYNASTY and DALLAS were the first and second most-popular shows on U.S. television, respectively.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

I'd forgotten all about this song -- it's so embarrassing!

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

That's not the one I remember.

The one I remember had the lyrics:

Who shot JR Ewing?
Who shot old JR down!
Who shot that son of a Texas man that night in Dallas town!

I can't remember what the song was called.

That's not the one I remember.

The one I remember had the lyrics:

Who shot JR Ewing?
Who shot old JR down!
Who shot that son of a Texas man that night in Dallas town!

I can't remember what the song was called.

There's also this one from when the "Who Shot J.R.?" cliffhanger was new:

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

I've found it.

This is the one I was remembering.

I quite like this one because it uses the Dallas theme tune in it.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

if he's not singing about Dallas or Dynasty, then by process of elimination he must be singing about Falcon Crest or Knots Landing.. I was thinking Flamingo Road, but that was off the air well before 1985.

This goes to show how much Dallas was part of the culture back in it's day.
Dallas was everywhere!

Don't think I've ever heard this one before.

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Don't think I've ever heard this one before.

I quite like it as there's strains of the Dallas theme tune in it.

I was a big fan of Hank Williams, Jr. in the 80s, and I remember this song well. I remember him singing it on the country awards show. It was played a lot on radio. I don't recall the other ones.

I think he's just frustrated & can't get a woman!

Of course he could be singing about The Colby's, but then that hadn't aired yet!
