Expired Lyrics: Joan Jett
- Posted by Spinner
"Put another dime in the jukebox, baby" --Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll' (1982)
You might be able to love rock 'n' roll for a dime, but hearing it on a jukebox will likely cost you a dollar.

I think it a quaint revelation that the author of this article must not be old enough to know of the irrelevance to Joan Jett's dime-in-a-jukebox lyric: Jukes costs more than that by then anyway,
(2 selections/quarter in 1982)!
I'm sure she knew but I don't think she cared....she needed a one-syllable word and the line still worked anyway (it STILL works!). . .Not that I give a rats posterior about the song OR Joan Jett.

You could also include The Turtles' "Happy Together." The line "Call me up, invest a dime" is doubly outdated. Pay phones are a dying species, and if you find one, you have to pay a quarter or fifty cents to make a call. It's still a fun song, though.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I seem to remember that the sound from jukeboxes was much better than the music I hear from my Ipod.

Wait, not only does music now cost $1.29, but jukeboxes have become obsolete. So maybe Joan Jett should say
"I Love Rock n Roll, so give another dollar to the DJ baby!"

Go to Johnny Rockets in Syracuse, NY. Jukebox still costs 5 cents.

I thought it was a syllable thing...I mean "put another quarter in the jukebox, baby" would have sounded kinda wrong.

If you want "expired lyrics", I don't think it gets any more expired than The Who's "Talkin' 'bout My Generation" with that wonderful line "Hope I die before I get old." Um, lads, it's too late for that . . .

Well apart from Keith Moon who was only 32 when he crashed and burned.

Lets go way back. How about Eartha Kitt wanting "Santa Baby" to bring her a "'54 convertable too, light blue"!
