"50 Years" is a song by Australian Rock-pop group Uncanny X-Men. The song was released in May 1985 as the second single from the band's debut studio album, 'Cos Life Hurts. It peaked at number 4 on the Kent Music Report, becoming the group's first top 5 single. The song was produced by Red Symons under the name Red Pinko Sims who added an extra chorus at the end.

Symons retrospectively said, "It does not have the naughty and vulgar charm of the other songs, tt is thoughtful and self-reflective" while Mannix said the song is "essentially about embracing the moment and living in the now."
