Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude. Hi,
I'm James Lodd Junior and this is the Dynasty too,
the Kolbe's After Show here on JLG Media. That's a
famous line from the late Prince and his number one
hit Kiss by Prince in a Revolution from his album

(00:22):
Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack Parade that if you've not
heard that song or heard of that song, I'll t
I don't tell you. It was a huge hit, still
played today, savings baseline everything. It mentions Dynasty now in concerts.
Later he would change that part two of the Latest

(00:46):
Hottest Show was at the time as far as that's
what he would do, but it mentioned Dynasty. In nineteen
eighty six when the song came out, Dynasty was hot.
He's Gonna Drink Real Quick was hot, and it makes sense.
It was the top ten. Very cool. So we were looking

(01:07):
around to see and we found that there are some
other songs you may not know about that mentioned Dynasty.
Now here's the irony of one thing. Prince had a
song called Kiss mentions Dynasty. The band Kiss had a
disco album. Yes, that Kiss, if you remember, called Dynasty

(01:30):
had nothing to do with Dynasty. But how ironic is
that Prince is a song called Kiss Kiss has an
album called Dynasty. Yeah, other things we looked at this,
we were looking this up. There are other songs. Suede
had a song called Positivity and referred to it as Dynasty,

(01:54):
as they say in Britain. Well Elings Big Daddy Kane
and his song raw second verse mentioned dynastyse they're all
eighties tunes. Also, there is I'm looking on here is
also someone claims the Replacements every song was about Dynasty

(02:23):
one way or the other. So Prince's song is probably
the most recognizable. That mentions actually the actual show which
is a big deal. Who knew Prince even was aware
of it? And the song kiss of course Katy six
huge hit a Prince's revolution. It was originally for another

(02:46):
group called Maserati just a little side note if you
didn't know that for one of his groups, and he's
like you for himself, huge hit. Other covers of it
have been done by a group called Age of Chance
and then most famously Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones. Yes,
that Tom Jones, I know right, check those out. So

(03:08):
I thought I was talking about that. That was very cool.
There's a lot of pop songs don't always mention TV
shows unless they're part of the TV show. So it's
because it's very nice to see that, and Dncey holds
that distinction. There's no show to mention, not Slanding that
I know of or Falcon Crest. Now Dallas had a soundtrack,

(03:32):
but I'm trying to say, are there any songs that
mentioned Dallas. I don't know, and I don't think there's
anything mentioning. Yeah. I think that's Yeah. Think Dynasty has
the biggest distinction of that. Just you know this after
show we talk about everything on the show, and I
couldn't pass up with that, And I was just looking
at for this song the other day. I'm James Louchery here.

(03:52):
I'm going back with more recaps and other other information
head of this show coming up. Bye. Yeah,
