Thank you, that helped a lot!

I'm still a bit confused about what it means to modernize an old joke, in this context, but I think I more or less got the picture

The following is an Eminem lyric that todays kids wouldn’t like

My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a fag or lez Or a homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest Pants or dress, hate fags? The answer's yes

However I think it aged pretty well in that the subject matter is still topical

The next is one with dated references that would need to be updated

But I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate (Oh) And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady, you a basehead" (Uh-uh) "Then why's your face red? Man, you wasted" Well, since age 12, I felt like I'm someone else 'Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee's tits off And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross
