Sometimes the silliest songs contain profound visions of the future. In 1979, the Cars released their Candy O album, which included a tune that foresaw the Internet e-dating scene, where people meet and fall in love well before they come face to face. Here are the opening lines from “The Dangerous Type”:

Can I touch you, are you out of touch

I guess I never noticed that much

Germanium lover I’m live on your wire

Ooo, come and take me who ever you are

Not bad, considering that in 1979, the Internet was still a clunky semi-military system that hardly anyone knew about.
