9:30 Coffee Break: Pop Culture References

August 05, 2013

We're starting your Monday off with a rush of pop culture references. Thanks to listener Madeline from Stillwater, who wrote, "My dad and I were listening to [song redacted for use in the Coffee Break] one morning and he said, 'For a timeless song, [it] is pretty outdated. That'd make a good Coffee Break theme.' Songs that have pop culture references that have the potential to be outdated or are already."

Thanks for the suggestion Madeline. We are going to run with it. What songs that mention outdated pop culture references, or references that have the potential to be outdated in years to come? Give us your suggestions and we'll play them for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs Played:

Prince - "Kiss"

Weezer - "Buddy Holly"

Outkast - "Hey Ya"

The Beatles - "Back in the USSR"

Black Flag - "TV Party"
