10 Ways Back To The Future Would Look Completely Different In 2015

When you look at the original Back to the Future, Marty McFly really had to work his socks off.

He had to dodge Libyans with murderous intentions, convince 50s Doc he was the real deal, spurn the amorous advances of his mother, deal with the lack of Pepsi Free and play cupid for his parents.

Amongst this comedy of errors he gets temporarily dumped in the boot of a car, to be freed moments later by guitarist Marvin Berry from Marvin Berry & The Starlighters who damages his hand in the process and can't play. No performance means no first dance for Lorraine and George which in turn means no sexy-time and no McFly Jr. 

Luckily, Marty is an aspiring rockstar who can control his fate (phew) and he manages to strum his way through Earth Angel before silencing the crowd with the epic Johnny B. Goode, a song that wouldn't hit the charts until 1988.

Which oldie but goodie could a rebooted Marty McFly stun school kids with in 1985?

NWA's Express Yourself, of course. Watching Dr. Dre's sick lyrics lovingly dispatched to a room full of white geeks could even eclipse the original scene. It's a perfect anti-culture song which unusually for late-80s rap track is pretty much profanity-free.
