1961 - It seems so long Ago - Leonard Cohen
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
Looking at the late, late show
Through a semi-precious stone
In the House of Honesty
Her father was on trial
In the House of Mystery
There was no one at all
There was no one at all
It seems so long ago
None of us were strong
Nancy wore green stockings
And she slept with everyone
She never said she'd wait for us
Although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us
In nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
A forty five beside her head
An open telephone
.......

Lazy Llama got there on the first page:
Songs mentioning specific years
I don't expect there are as many as times or dates, I just wanted to complete the set. One that springs to mind is in the REM song 'Ignoreland', Nineteen eighty, eighty-four, eighty-eight, ninety-two... Jimi Hendrix, who should have come to be a merman in 1983, doesn't actually sing that in...

On the other hand, don't think anyone's gone for this one yet:

1933 - I've Done it Again - Grace Jones
I was on the first ship to Peru
Charted all the courses like all sailors do
First to cross the Mason-Dixon line
Overseeing wetbacks for good Californian wine
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
I was there when Jenny Lind first sang
First to feel the cold Alaskan white man
First to take a trip on sled
First to vote for Roosevelt back in '33
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
I was on the first ship to Peru
Charted all the courses like all sailors do
First to cross the Mason-Dixon line
Overseeing wetbacks for good Californian wine
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
I was there when Jenny Lind first sang
First to feel the cold Alaskan white man
First to take a trip on sled
First to vote for Roosevelt back in '33
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again

Now I'm wondering: that song fits on both this thread and the time one, and there are loads that give a full date including the year, such as December 8, 1980, Sept 15 1983 and April 29th 1992 for starters, but are there any that qualify for all three threads? Has anyone ever written a song going "It was 16:53 on December 20th 2022" or something along those lines?

Genuinely read that last word as "mansplain" for a second there.
