There are some songs that show their era or their ages. Could also be applied to some music videos too. There are songs that I wouldn't change nothing, like the song by the Twisted Sister and their song We're Not Gonna Take It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9AbeALNVkk. The looks may seems to be outdated but the humourous style of the video still hold on pretty well.
There are songs that show the era they were made. Many songs by Laurence Gowan (http://www.gowan.org/) fall in this category. They are good in their own right, in their original version. We just can feel the 80'ties touch in many of his success (I think of Criminal Mind, Moonlight Desire and You're a Strange Animal). I am sure that with some light tweaking, it could become a little more timeless. Well, I wonder if it would be done. I am not an musician, so, I couldn't experiment it myself, so I am not sure it it would be a full proofed good idea. I know I would keep the melody but I would put more real instruments, not ones that seems computer generated.
Redoing songs can go both way. It can be good or it could be bad. Thinking about it, it may be good or bad, depending on our taste in music. On the other hand, there are songs that I would not touch like all the songs by the Eurythmics (https://www.eurythmics.com/)
