Timeless...

Isaac Asimov (top-flight sci-fi writer) in _The Caves of Steel_, has Earth citizens, some lifetimes hence, chant protest songs with "Dirty spacer, do you hear?" replacing an original "nonsense chorus of 'Hinky-dinky parley-voo.'"

Who knows which songs will survive in any given generation?
