The "new song" references could likely be prophesies for rock, and even future music. We've clearly got examples of dancing, and stringed and percussion instruments.
"Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord saying, 'I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
