Updated lyrics (Just for fun) We all know that Prince regularly modernized the "Dynasty" lyric to Kiss -- with varying levels of success and appreciation -- in order to give it a more contemporary feel. In a four decade career, it is inevitable that some lyrics betray their age. While I was listening to Raspberry Beret today, it occurred to me that my kids have probably never heard of a Five and Dime, even though I grew up with (and had two family members who worked at) the local Five and Ten. Bemused, I thought that maybe there needed to be updated lyrics to other songs as well. How about "I was working next door at the Dollar Store" for the new generation? Anyone else want to play? | |

Thanks. These are fun. Hubby is actually going to start working at Uber in a week. I'll never see that job the same way again!
(And I've always said that Google will eventually become Skynet...) EDIT: I also wouldn't want any real changes. I didn't care for it when he changed "Dynasty", even. [Edited 9/29/16 18:23pm] | |

I've actually wanted to ask this before but I never create threads and you've made the perfect one for me to do it here. . .what were some other things he changed Dynasty to? I know about Sex and the City but what were some other things he used there? We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams. . . | |

I know about Sex and the City but what were some other things he used there? I just saw a Canadian TV show on YouTube where he said MTV. I think he may also have used Real Housewives at some point, IIRC. I just remember that because it was so jarring. And frankly, none of those really have the same "feel" as Dynasty, dated as it is. | |

I was thinking just substitute "dollar store" for "five and dime" because it's the same number of syllables. => I was working part time in a dollar store. -- At his R&RHOF induction, he substituted "Sex and the City" for Dynasty during his performance of "Kiss."
