Subject: Songs that mention a year.

Written By: MrCleveland on 07/26/11 at 2:58 pm

I thought about having a thread on here that talk about Songs that have a year in the title such as "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins, "1999" by Prince, and "1985" by Bowling for Soup.

Got any more good song titles that have a year in them?

Steve Reich: Different Trains (Part 1)
composed in 1988 for string quartet and sampler. 
Years mentioned from sampled interviews
1939, 1940, 1941: by Reich's childhood governess Virginia, and a Pullman Porter named Lawrence Davis.
These samples from Reich's tape create a song-like refrain in synch with the strings.  The year refrains start at about 6:23.

mentions 1974

Well, we're havin' a ball just a-boppin' on the big dance floor,
There's a real square cat, he looks-a-nineteen seventy-four,

He looks at me again and there's-a-gonna be a fight,
We're gonna rock this town,
We're gonna rip this place apart!
