Expired Lyrics: Songs With References That Have Become Badly Dated

Those old-time songwriters had the right idea when they rhymed "moon" with "June" -- because those two things should be around forever. When today's pop stars toss in all sorts of current references, they should keep in mind that today's lyric sheet is tomorrow's fish wrap. (They still wrap fish in paper, don't they?)
One down, two to go.
"America ... Where the president is never black, female or gay/And until that day, you've got nothing to say to me"
One down, two to go.

Morrissey! Seriously! Who ever carred about what he thinks to begin with.

yep it's pretty apparent how much people care in Michigan. Wonder how many more people have found themselves frozen in ice at the bottom of an elevator shaft? Wonder how many telephone calls it would've taken to get somebody to do something about it. Looks like three and then someone had to practically drag an emergency worker to the sight before anything was actually done about it. Now that's what I call care. Yeah that's the best. No wonder Detroit is a ghost town. I also find it funny how some people will say. "Who cares about them." Until thier favorite artist comes to town. Now go watch the carpenters and cheer and gafaw over them. Yee Haw Toby Kieth! Yee Haw Dixie Chicks. Chew-ter-backy spit.

I love Steve Morrissey, how dare they slander him for expressing the way he feels about anything? That, in itself, is completely against the constitution.
This makes me so disappointed. If it isn't true (what he says in the lyrics) then why was it such a huge event when Obama became president?
This is so ridiculous.
People need to screw their heads back on. Especially these idiots making him take it back.

the only "thought crime" i see is the suggestion that criticism of someone's thoughts/words is unconstitutional or as you so delicately put it; "is completely against the constitution". QUOI? Assuming your smart enough to now spot the fault, I am gonna forgo with the explanation why.

Who the hell is Morrisey? BTW you are the IDIOT!Assuming you are an AMERICAN,why don't you stand up for your country instead of some LIMEY scumbag who sure as hell doesn't mind taking money from AMERICANS who pay to listen to his sh*t music?

Cary on Toby Kieth. Carry on Dixie Chicks. Regular people who are trying to survive will some how trudge through the kneedeep excrement that you ~>both

No, I'm not American, I'm British. I recently saw an interview with Morrissey where he was talking about an incident where the F.B.I actually took the time to pay him a visit to subtly threaten him about his lyrics. That is the main reason why this annoyed me. Ok, fair enough "doctorpapaya" maybe I didn't word it perfectly, but what I'm trying to say is pretty obvious.

HAVE YOU READ THE CONSTITUTION? IF SO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

He also should include England and the rest of EUROPE in that statement.

your a real asshole!

Thought_crime, I really don't think they can "make him" take it back. If they could, I'd rather them take your whole post and make it go away. Way,way over the rainbow,where you seem to be. Take a deep breath. But alas, Morrisey is a wussy writing idiot,and anybody who listens to ANYTHING he would write or say is right there with him. A big wussy.

One outa three? how do you know for sure what our pres really is?? Do you even give a shit? We don't know a DAM thing about him. He could be a male impersonator married to a lesbian and or be gay. But you have no proof either way....what were his grades in school? Who paid for Harvard? how did he get into Harvard? What are his REAL ties to domestic terrorist? or for that matter international ones? How did he go to Pakistan when it was a no visit zone? What's really on his "birth certificate" you know the one in hiding in Hawaii. bla bla bla on and on and on. The perfect Manchurian candidate and you paid for him. I hope your happy.
