The song 1985 by Bowling for Soup was written closer to the year 1985 than to the current year
The gap between 2003 to 1985 is 18 years. 2003 to 2023 is 20.
You're welcome
The song is actually a cover, and was written by SR-71, who released it in 2004, but recorded it for the album "Here We Go Again" in 2003.
this figure is even more fucked for "1979" by the pumpkins at 17 and 27 years removed, respectively.
now when are we getting "1996" ?
