Awesome collaborative effort here folks!
Surprised no one thought of The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades by Timbuk 3.
And here's another one, The Future by Prince, off the Batman soundtrack.

The Buggles were always one of my favorites when it came to futuristic imagery -- "Johnny on the Monorail" is another great one ("oh my my, you are so sci-fi").
