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.
