This is going to be hard to hear, but:

Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

@jsr similarly, Bowling for Soup's "1985" (released 2004) would now be about the far off year of 2007
@irina @jsr can the two of you stop making me feel ancient?
