I am no Unix historian. Looking now, listen(2) was part of Berkeley sockets, which Wikipedia says "originated with the 4.2BSD Unix operating system, released in 1983."
It can't be before socket, which was introduced with 4.1cBSD (says https://man.openbsd.org/socket.2 ) in "late 1982" (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/misc/bsd-famil... ).
I'm guessing these songs were written in the mid- to late-1980s.
