Songs with a year in their title

I’ve been thinking about songs titled after or about a year and whether they’re actually a good representation of the time or just using it as filler.
In the 70’s there was already a longing for a simpler time, and I have to assume that was part of the intention here. Except it strikes me more as disco leaning than it does early 60’s.
There’s virtually nothing here that strikes me as late 60’s. This is pure MTV poppy rock. But, the lyrics are evocative of a dreamy past summer regardless. It’s been said however this song was never about the year 1969 but umm, use ypur imagination.
Well this is just painfully 2000’s, but I’m not mad. You can draw a lot of comparisons between then and the 80’s. It’s unapologetic and could be seen as obnoxious in too serious of a light. Just like 1985.
This song has literally nothing to do with 1994, unless you count throwing out the name of a random country singer who wasn’t even that prominent.
Even though this is so 80’s, 1999 did have its own club scene I could see this song being played at. The end of the world scare did become iconic to the year.
While you can’t say this song sounds early 00’s, I’m also not sure if it came out then if anyone would’ve been like “guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet.” It blends in a dreamy retrospective way, even if the songs dropped in the lyrics were already stale by 02.
If there are more songs I haven’t thought of, let me know.

Silverchair were only 15 when they made it big in 1994.
