Line 94:
"'Cause he's smooth and smart and pretty, and he reads his lines so well }}
** Their "Moribund Music of the Seventies" radio series in the early '80s was mocking the idea of the 70's becoming nostalgic. If you listened to it today not knowing what the joke was, it's almost identical to present radio stations that specialize 70's nostalgia.
* The Plain White T's song "Hey There Delilah" was originally released in 2005. It contained the line "Two more years you'll be done with school and I'll be making history". Two years later it was
* [[Simon and Garfunkel]]'s song "Old Friends", from the 1968 ''Bookends'' album, includes the line "How terribly strange to be seventy." Paul Simon, who penned that line, turned 70 in October 2011; Art Garfunkel, who sang it, turns 70 a month later.
* In an interview from 1986, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' guitarist Mike Campbell said that spending more than $500 on a guitar [http://www.thepettyarchives.com/magazines/magazines-1986/1986-08-guitarplayer/ didn't feel right.]{{Dead link}} Circa 2010, he bought a guitar that cost as much as a house.
Line 107:
''I'm white, and it's time that I had mine!'' }}
* There's a song called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVeGgV8MtJA Disneyland] from an obscure 80's musical called ''Smile'' that's just chock full of these. First off, the lyrics were written by Howard Ashman from before he teamed up with Alan Menken to become one of Disney's greatest songwriting duos. Not only that, but the woman singing is Jodi Benson, most famous as the voice of Ariel in [[The Little Mermaid]]. There's even a reference to a [[Aladdin (Disney film)|magic carpet]]!
* Likely a mixed between this and [[Harsher in Hindsight]], demanding how one looks at it, "If That Were Me" by [[Spice Girls|Melanie C]] talks about homelessness. In one part, she sings "I couldn't live without my phone. But you don't even have a home." In 2000, when the song was released, having your own phone was [[Serious Business]]. Today, it's pretty common for, even the homeless, to have at least one phone, even a pre-paid one. There's even a name for a fear of being without a mobile home called homophobia. Even Chisholm herself acknowledged this.
