ToTim - you are correct about the USSR, but the first line of that song is also obsolete. "Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC'. This is also outdated as there is no more BOAC, they and British European Air merged into British Airways. Another outdated lyric is from Bobby Russel's 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero'. "At Christmas took them down to see then floats, when he'd rather stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts". How about Babalu's Wedding Day by the eternals "he met his woman at a baseball game, played 2nd base for the Milwaukee Braves'. Another is Chuck Berry's "Promised Land' "Workin on a T Bone steak ala carte flying over to the Golden State". Planes don't serve much anymore,let alone T Bone steak. Also in the same song: "Los Angeles, give me Norfolk, Virginia, Tidewater 4-1009". There have not been words used for phone exchanges since the early '60.s. Also, today he would probably have a cell phone with nationwide service and not have to make an operator assisted call. Also Beechwood 4-5709 by the Marvelettes, Pennsylvania 6-5000 by Glenn Miller, and Lonesome 7-7203 by Hawkshaw Hawkins. .

MTv still plays video, late at night, some nights! VH1 classic rocks, videos almost all the time, and MTV2 plays videos (not as much as they did). MTV has a new high def channel that plays concerts and videos and the like.

I think you are replying to the wrong list. This isn't a bad or good list, just an outdated lyric list. THESE lists suck, I know, but I can';t stop reading them, like a car wreck!LMFAO:)

How about the song "Love Child". Good, bad or indifferent, the shame of being born out of wedlock has all but been forgotten now days.

The Statler Brothers had a great country hit called "Don't Wait On Me." One of the lines went...
"When the lights go on at Wrigley Field, I'll be coming home again.
Also...The Priates of The Missippi had a cerebral hit called "A Street Man Named Desire." The chorus starts...
"Saddam Husein still has a job but I don't. Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed, but I won't."
