Songs dated by references to specific (sometimes obsolete) technology

Sometimes we think of music as "timeless". Even though we can see that some music does remain after not decades, but centuries, there's some we know will fade. Let's celebrate the songs we enjoyed which will not be understood by future generations.

Please include the artist, title, and lyric, plus whatever you want to say about it.

The first i really remember listening to is ABBA's "Ring Ring"

>"Ring Ring I stare at *the phone on the wall.*"

Who's got one of those anymore?

Occasionally, "Walla Walla" by The Offspring comes on the radio or my shuffle.

>"You started to run but didn't get far, 'Cause under your arm was *a VCR!*"

Digital media is so much easier to acquire now.

Since Musk has rebranded Twitter to X, "A Wake" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis has a double whammy dating.

>"Dont even *tweet* RIP *Trayvon Martin*."

I'll accept if if you include current events in the lyrics too.
