Do we need to update some songs for modern days?
like if the Bare-Naked Ladies songs if I had a million dollars, was changed to If I had a billion dollars ( Seeing one million just isn’t enough for some people ) ? Could we have fun listing some songs the need to be updated?

Absolutely. The Star Spangled Banner is in need of a serious re-write.
O’er the land of the free, home of the brave? Don’t think so.
How about concluding that song with:
“Well let’s wrap this up now, and get on with the game.”
It has the same meter and rhyme; it ought to work out okay.

Songs (like movies) were right for their times. I say let them be and just write new ones.
In my youth, I enjoyed reading Mad Magazine. They usually had a section entitled ‘songs sung to the tune of’. It was hilarious. They did parodies of moon river, white Christmas, downtown, and many other favorites. But I agree with Pachyderm_In_The_Room; new calls for new.
You know you are old when someone wants to update a song by Barenaked Ladies to a modern song.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room…. Thank you…and I have to agree with you…songs were
made as a reflection of their time. Hence my (absurd) song titles.
