My first choice is REM Star 69.



The music is great, but no one under 40 even knows what Star 69 is.

What do you have?

I am looking for examples of things that are cultural changes or technology.

Pedophilia has always been inappropriate.

The Flinstones theme song didn't age that well.

In the same vein, Spiderwebs by No Doubt. No one understands answering machines or screening phone calls anymore.

Beatles have a few troublesome lyrics…
"I saw her standing there" (references a 17 yo, when they were 23)
"Getting better" - talks about beating his woman
"You're 16" - Ringo covered this song when he was 33

There's a common denominator here... this Christine got around a lot in the 70s and 80s.

"Christine" by Highway Chile. \m/

We saw him in an acoustical performance on a cruise. He sang "she's only 47...."

I really meant songs that don't make sense to people who didn't live during that time, not songs that have always been perverted.

But Ok.

That's what makes it quirky. Like a Raspberry Beret.

Mr Roboto - that's just a bunch of tech jargon that is out of date
Video killed the radio star - more like Napster killed the Video star
867-5309 - it's all about sliding into DMs. I'm sure you get folks don't want digits until well after hooking up and getting into a serious relationship; messaging apps are way more popular

Sexual themes are low-hanging fruit, but Don't Stand So Close to Me didn't age well.

Indian Reservation by Paul Revere and the Raiders

"They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan"

One of my favorite Alex Lifeson riffs is in "Virtuality," but the song also has the line "put your message in a modem." Other than that, the theme of the lyrics is still applicable.

Payphone by Maroon 5 which probably was already out of date when it was released.

Brown Sugar by the Stones starts off with:

"Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields / Sold in the market down in New Orleans / Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right / Hear him whip the women just around midnight."

Feels so good, feelin' good again.

What? Why? It wasn't like the song glorified student-teacher relationships.
