Released: 1992 Sounds: 1999 Just out of curiosity, why do you think it sounds like it could have been released in 1999? I personally think it sounds of it's time and I couldn't imagine it being released no later than 1994. It sounds like nu metal.

Released: 1995 Sounds: 2008 This also sounds ahead of its time. Personally, I think both songs could be passed off as underground dance songs from 2007-2009 and mainstream pop songs from 2011-2014.

This comes from an album released in 1981 and was a minor top 40 hit in 1982. To me, it very much sounds like it would be more at home in the late 1960s, roughly 1967 to be exact. Songs from that period such as “Up, Up and Away” by The 5th Dimension and “Judy in Disguise” by John Fred & His Playboy Band have the same type of instrumentation and feel as this. The melody and progressions sound especially late ‘60s, imo. The only two things that cause it to sound of its time are the synthesizer in the intro, as well as the audio fidelity, although the latter isn’t as apparent in this particular upload of the song.

Released: 1995 Sounds: 2008 It sounds slightly ahead of its time, like would fit maybe better among Speed Garage songs of the late 90s, but I don't think I will push it all the way to 2008. Is this because of Pitbull sampling the song in a 2009 hit?

This was apparently released in 1956, back when artists like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald were dominating. The use of hapsichords, the loose signing and the silly, light-hearted lyrics makes it sound like it should have come out at least 10 years later when the "Baroque Pop" genre exploded in popularity.

Snoop’s Doggfather album contained quite a few songs with experimental poduction, not just the track I listed above that sounds 2000/2001-ish. This song, meanwhile, sounds like it was made around late 2005 or 2006. Not only is the beat reminiscent of uptempo urban productions from that era, but the schoolyard chant chorus is more than a little reminiscent of plenty hits from the mid/late 2000s. Even the high-pitched synthesizers sound more like they came from Lil’ Jon than a West Coast g-funk producer. Wow that production really does sound it would have been right at home with songs like "Lean Back" and "Candy Shop"!

This was released in 2001, yet it sounds like any house song made during the early-to-mid 90s.
Plus, the version we all know is a nightcore (uh, "speedy") version that belongs in its release year.

Wow I almost forgot this existed. This song used to insanely common on YouTube videos back in the late 2000's.

I think you might be referring to the speedy (nightcore/20% faster) version (less views than the English one, both official uploads): Also the English version of that version (recorded in 2009) is popular nowadays, with the older official upload of that one having more than 30 million views (this is a newer (HD) one):

Uhm, I really disagree since "Caramelldansen" sounds like very typical Bubblegum Dance that was produced mostly during the late 90s and early 2000s, with a bit of Trance pads mixed in. It doesn't sounds like House music at all, it has the throbbing synth bass parts unique to Eurodance instead of simple kick drums of House.

It has a bit of that mid-2000s R&B flavor that dates it, but the backbone production to this really sounds like a DJ Mustard-style produced song from the early to mid-2010s.

From 1979. What would have been your guess?

This was released in 1992, but the prominent use of gated drums makes it sound as if it could have been released sometime in the Late 1980s, particularly around 1988/1989. I must admit, considering how progressive and influential their debut EP and album were, this song is a huge disappointment. "That Ain't Bad" was responsible for alternative-rock emerging in the mainstream here in Australia. This, on the other-hand, is just a big-budgeted, repetitive mess. I'm not surprised that it only peaked at #38 on the ARIA Chart and was in essence, a complete flop.
