Songs With Years In Their Titles, Vol. 2: 1980-2000

Here's the second and final installment in a two-part miniseries featuring songs with historical years in their titles. You may wonder why I stopped at the year 2000, not continuing till the present. That's because there were virtually no songs with post-2000 years in their titles that were worth including. Quality over quantity, folks. You're welcome!  ~  JH
