Why, dont you have dimes anymore? That's a 10 cent coin right?

The lyric is from "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore".

A phone call hasn't cost 10 cents in years...

Most people don't even use public telephones anymore; I don't even know how much it is nowadays.

I think you could sing that retrospectively. People know that referring to the millennium means a big party wether it's in the future or a past event.

I think "party like it's 1999" still works; but the line before I think sounds dumb now.. nobody says the world will end in 2000 anymore, since the year has passed and it didn't happen. If the song was released post-2000, people would think the lyrics were ridiculous.

"you don't have to watch Dynasty" (or Sex in the City,now Kardashians)

"Ronnie talk 2 Russia b4 its too late"

This dated early 80s, Ronnie is going to drop the bomb nonsense died out by the time Gorbachev came to power by 1985. Fearing the Ruskies and communism was pretty tasteless and 1950s Jo Macarthyistic even by 1981 standards

Any of his lyrics that mention a pager.

'Funky Fresh For the 90's'

from 'My Name is Prince'

"You don't have to watch Dynasty."

Oh boy

Ronnie Talk 2 Russia--- oh bitch, please.

1999 <--self explanitory

"I'm in Computer, when it's over, press 'play.'" <--- bitch, we don't press, we swipe now!

There are alot, but for the most part, I think Prince dates himself far better than MJ or Madonna.

I mean, you can listen to SOTT over and over again, and it never feels like the product of it's time. Thriller, Like a Virgin ---not so much.

At least he changes this one when he performs it live... last time I heard it it was Real Housewives.

Yellow Smiley offers me X, like he's drinking seven up (The Future)

Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's (New Power Generation)

You dont have to watch Dynasty

Most people don't even use public telephones anymore; I don't even know how much it is nowadays.

Actually, a lot of cell phone calls come out to cost about 10 cents, especially some pre-paid cell phones where it's 10 cents per minute.

In this case the lyrics aren't dated, just morphed.

No, it's regarding a dime to use a payphone just as "give me a dime, so I can call my mother" from Rod Stewarts' Do Ya Think I'm Sexy song. This shit was written in 81-82. Nothing morphed LOL.

Really.

And most people automatically do the calculations in their heads, so yeah... I'm wrong.
