"'This Ain't 'Dallas'" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter and musician Hank Williams Jr. It was released in September 1985 as the second single from the album 'Five-O'. The song reached number 4 on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Content



The song's title and subject refer to the television series 'Dallas', with Williams denying that he and his family live a life comparable to those on popular prime-time serials of the era, including 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty'. Williams name-checks a number of popular characters from both shows, including J. R. Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing from 'Dallas' and Alexis Carrington from 'Dynasty', among many others, noting that the female characters are attractive but unrealistic. In the end, Williams turns off the television set.
