Her's a few ideas:
Queen- "Machines (Back To Humans)"
It's bytes and megachips for teaIt's that machine boysWith random access memory
It's software is hardwareIt's heartbeat is time-shareIt's midwife's a disc drive
Tori Amos- "Amber Waves"
Into every young man'sBedroom - you gave it upon DVD..
Eminem "Stan"
"So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it"
Veruca Salt "With David Bowie"
"My walkman and me, with David Bowie"
This post was inspired by a band I saw the other night at a club that used the word "Google" in it's lyrics.

iGeneration
And people tried to put us down, when iTunes bumped a post-Cold War sound.My generation sat the mecca of malls, Times Square, I'm there, Viacom installs.So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell, New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell.No Vietnam for us, yo, Iraq it's on. So who agree upon this cowboy Genghis Khan?The choice made, baby. Hey we'd take it back, logged in dropped out, MTV took track.They sold it back to us and claimed no correlation. The iMac, iPod, iGeneration.And I'm waiting for the day we can get out. The world is ours, that's the story no doubt.Want to be more info super highway traffic, want to be more than a walking demographic!
CHORUS"Hey! You're part of it." Talking about the iGeneration."Yeah! You're part of it." Talking about my iGeneration.
See the iGeneration knew organization meant optimization and unification,When imagination gave participation in creation of culture a manifestation.The Berlin Wall fell and out we came, the post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM.LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis.We sat at our laptops and typed away, and found that we each had something to say.Web-logged our fears, our hopes and dreams. Individuated by digital means.Fiber optic lenses, DVD, Coca Cola, Disney and Mickey D's.Flat mass culture, the norm that took holdÉ I hope I die before I get sold.

"Now I know how Joan of Arc feltAs the flames rose to her Roman noseand her Walkman started to melt."
Often misheard by me as "and her warm flesh started to melt," sung by Morrissey on latest live album as "and her iPod started to melt."

It's a wide world out there So much wider than imagined I can't quite put my finger on the pulse Of your heart softly beating Just beneath the raw silk sheen That reflects the tints of autumn from the hills.
So punch my name. And in case you wonder - I'll be yours - yours, dot com.

"it's only a quarter to three/reflectin off of your CD"
in live shows, though, they change it to 'MP3'.
