How about Travis Tritt's song, "Here's a quarter, call someone who cares." Cell phones made that out-dated.

Not only that, but to make a phone call at a pay phone costs more than a mere 25 cents!

Hell, I remember when they were a dime. And the first cell phones were the size of car batterys.

What about the Stadtler Brothers' "Don't Wait On Me"? It contains the lyrics "...when the lights go on in Wrigley Field, I'll be comin' home to you"

We STILL have nothing to say to you, Morrisey...get back to us when you have a black Prime Minister. 1776 was over 230 years ago; get over it, Brits!

Too late to wield that cork rock opera Tommy. The UK have already had a woman Prime Minister. It happened about a quarter century ago. Her name was Margaret Thatcher and she was a Torey(conservative)too boot. By the way..Nice blue snuggie. I saw on TV where those things are pretty comfy and well used by the cult community. Is it hard to reach the Ouija board with all those floppy sleaves in the way?

How about Tupac? "And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a Black president" That's outdated now
whabtbobat 2-12-2009
You make a claim it's outdated, but on top of that, the quote doesn't even make sense. Evidently, he wanted to make a statement about no black President, but the only thing he could think up as a rhyme to that was "heaven sent". Huh? What does that have to do with anything?

I blew out my flip flop..stepped on a pop top..Jimmy Buffet, "Margaritaville". Anyone remember when beer cans had pop tops?
lueruilat 1-30-2009
Yeah, but I also just popped the top off a woodchuck becuase this supposed twist top isnt twisting.

A pop top is the metal top that used to be on the glass pop bottles

A pop top refers to the the ring on top of a can, usually a drink, that when pulled, opened a hole in the top of the can.

How about Prince's 1999? "Let's all party like it's 1999." Yeah right. 1999 seemed so far away then but now it was 10 years ago.

How about the song 'Sweet Home Alabama'. One of the lyrics is: Watergate don't both us none...
willowreedat 11-10-2009
One thing it seems everyone has forgotten is that these songs WERE written in the past, and those thing WERE happening or existing. :/
Some of the new songs are just as stupid...like that one from furtado where the guy says "like me the way am are."
What does that EVEN MEAN?
Was it translated from Russian or something?
What is wrong with today's songwriters?
Rachelat 2-12-2009
UPDATE: I messed up and didn't put the 'er' on the word 'both'. It should be 'Watergate don't bother us none... Sorry 'bout that,
