The only ones that I can think of at the moment - because I'm listening to it right now - is Escape Clup's Wild, Wild West:

Heading for the Nineties living in the Eighties.

1999 by Prince

Heat of the Moment by Asia.

And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot spots hold no charm for you

Magic Sam's 'I Found A New Love' has the now-dated lyric:
Well you made me unhappy
But right now, I feel so gay

Of course, any older use of the word 'gay' is going to sound different now, but Magic Sam's music is otherwise so timeless.

Ah, yes. 1999. Shoulda remembered that one but then it's kinda hard to think of one song while listening to another.

As for "gay" in older songs, well, it never bothers me cuz I know it used to only mean happy at the time the song came out.

Anyway, I looked on Lyrics World and found some more outdated songs.

1849 - Lighthouse
1900 Yesterday - Liz Damon's Orient Express
1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins
'65 Love Affair - Paul Davis
December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) - Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons.

1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins
'65 Love Affair - Paul Davis
December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) - Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons. - MarkN

How are these songs "outdated"? They were all three written and released at least a decade after the year the songs are about. They each concern nostalgia for something that happened back in their respective time frames. Just how are you defining "outdated", Mark?

Kevin, I almost listed the Limelighters Vickie Dugan "Other girls are beautiful, gorgeous and gay", but then I realized that the word gay isn't necesarily dated, just that a later definition has superceded the original.

Fortunately the song was a comedy to begin with so it becomes just another funny moment.

Then again the song is about an actress who made headlines for wearing a dress in public 'that was cut so low in back... that it revealed a new cleavage' so I guess the subject matter has become dated.

Funky Cold Medina - Tone Loc
"This is the eighties and Loc is down with the ladies"

Anthem for the year 2000 - Silverchair (written in 1999)

Willennium - Will Smith

1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins
'65 Love Affair - Paul Davis
December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) - Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons. - MarkN

Think about it this way: 200 years in the future, if you hear someone singing about what they were doing in December 1963, you know the song has to be rather old because by that time everyone who was alive in December 1963 would be dead. This could also apply to Everclear's "AM Radio," and Randy Travis' "1982."

And another outdated song: "Millennium" by Robbie Williams

"1976" - by Grand Funk Railroad - actually since the song didn't come out until late in the year, it was already practically dated then.

"Point Me at the Sky" by Pink Floyd

"And if you survive till 2005,
I hope you're exceedingly thin;
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people about you breathe in."

Back in 2002, I suggested to John Payne that he should sing the line as "And now you find yourself in oh-two." Don't know if he ever followed that suggestion or not. Now that I think about it, the cadence is all wrong for the line's rythym. Anyway, that line is of course outdated today as well.

Who sang that song "In the year 2525"? That song will be outdated. Eventually. And even in 2525 it won't be completely outdated, it will just gradually become slightly more outdated every 1000 years.

Don't know if this counts, but Van Halen had an instrumental titled 1984.

Also Status Quo had an album titled 1982.

Other titles featuring then-current years include Alice Cooper's "Teenage Lament '74" and Iron Butterfly's "1975 Overture".

How about "And now you find yourself in zero-two?"

Herb Alpert had an instrumental titled 1980.

R.E.M. - "Pop Song 89"

The Stooges' songs "1969" and "1970"

"Sexcrime (1984)" by the Eurythmics

Who sang that song "In the year 2525"?

Zager & Evans. It was a one-hit wonder. And in case you're interested the full name of it is In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus). I didn't know that till I just looked it up.

I just found an interesting website with the lyrics to 2525 with either a Boris Vallejo painting or a pretty good facsimile of one. However, since it's got a barechested woman on it I can't link it but I found it just by Googling images of Zager & Evans to see what they looked like.
