The Dated Lyrics:

Rappin' on the CB radio in your van
We'll give a big "Ten-Four" to the truckin' man

Why They're Dated:

CB radios are not used recreationally nowadays, and vans (the full-size kind popular in the 1970s) as personal transportation are few and far between in the 2000s.

Submitted by: Andria

"Summer"

The Dated Lyrics:

Eight-track playin' all your favorite sounds

Why They're Dated:

Only restored vintage cars from the 1970s and those owned by technological luddites still contain 8-track players, and the tapes themselves are as rare as hen's teeth, especially when in playable condition.
