Mike Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I got this idead when I saw this in the quote box. I blew out my flip-flop/Stepped on a pop-top/ Cut my heel had to cruise on back home Pop-tops, those pull-off tops from cans that were replaced in the late seventies (maybe early-eighties) with a "non-removable" round "pop-down/pop-in" tab. Was probably a Ralph Nader safety thing. Many people, I heard, swallowed those tabs and choked or cut their throats, they wound up all over the ground too. Out-dated now. So it occurred to me that there are probably other song lyrics that have become out-dated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Don't forget Beachwood 4 -5789 * by The Marvelettes "and my number is Beachwood 4 -5789 You can call me up and have a date Any old time " It must have been an anachronism already when it was covered by The Carpenters. -------------------------------- *( William Stevenson / Marvin Gaye / George Gordy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 How about "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar. They raised the speed limit a long time ago. Now, you have to go about 107 to get pulled over driving from Phoenix to Tucson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneM Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Actually Pennsylvania 6-5000 is still the number to the Pennsylvania, a hotel in midtown Manhatten. Of course the Pennsylvania part has been replaced with maybe 73. wm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heard It On The XM Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Any song that uses the word "gay" with its original meaning. One example is "The Great Pretender" by The Platters: "Oh yes, I'm the great pretender/Just laughing and gay like a clown." Nowadays if anyone tried to write a song with lyrics like that, they'd quickly be accused of stereotyping all clowns as homosexuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 The way the world is today, I doubt those immortal words don't mean anything to some people. The revised lyrics would go something like "Probably die before I get old" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Now, you have to go about 107 to get pulled over driving from Phoenix to Tucson. The exact same occurance has happened to me before, same locations & same M.P.H. - Purely coincidential, or Carl is that police officer I keep referring to in many posts.

The Seeker Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I don't think Ken meant that it doesn't fit him anymore, I believe it was just a comment on the fact that Pete Townshend is old and still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 That was my intended meaning, Seeker. Thanks. Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
