I didn't know whether to put this under music or television, so I put it here.

The tv show All in the Family has a famous theme song where the main character, Archie Bunker, and his wife sing a duet reminiscing about the good ole days (pre WWII.)

Link below. Ignore the stupid Thomas the Tank Engine crap and listen to the audio.

The show was popular in the 70's, and featured the Bunkers, a conservative working class family who were comically behind the times. It was meant to strike a nerve with the progressive, politically correct direction that society was headed at the time.

Anyway, I reworked the lyrics to refer to the 90s. Check it out:

(Archie)Boy the way Nirvana played.
(Wife) And the way those dot coms paid.
(A) How Nintindo had it made.
(both)Those were the days.

(W) Gas was less than a BUCK then!
(A) Siendfeld rocked, and so did Friends!
(b) Mister we could use a man like William Clinton again.

(A) Didn't need no terror [alert] states.
(W) Stopped Iraq to save Kuwait.
(b) Gee that old Tercel ran great...
Those were the days.

That makes me glad it's not the 90s now. :p

I liked the nineties. I preferred them to the 2000's, and even the 1980's. Its the fifties that suck.
