Actually, one recent song needs an upgrade: Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the USA” _Cause all I see are stilettos Guess I never got the memo_ Memos? I highly doubt any of her fans even know what a memo is. I’m 33 and I’ve never even used one - only heard of them. Ever since my first post-college job in 2001, all work communication was done through email. I guess one can argue that “never got the memo” is now just a figure of speech, but on the other hand, it’s not an expression that’s likely to be used when the current generation of young-uns grow up. ---

“The Georgia Patrol was making their rounds So he called 911 just to bring 'em round And a big-bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said Why’d you do it…?” ---
