Any ideas of what 'a new song' may mean?

Psalm 33:3 (KJV) Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

Psalm 40:3 (KJV) And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Psalm 96:1 (KJV) O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Psalm 98:1 (KJV) A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Psalm 144:9 (KJV) I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Psalm 149:1 (KJV) Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Isaiah 42:10 (KJV) Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

Revelation 5:9 (KJV) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Revelation 14:3 (KJV) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

I looked it up :) And found this. <- Click for link to Bible study tools' dictionary.

Essentially it says the new song praises the Lamb for His worthiness to carry out God's redemptive plan, employing motifs from the exodus of Israel, and includes four qualitative aspects: (1) it is for God; (2) it is accomplished through Christ's blood; (3) it is universal (every tribe, tongue, people, and nation); and (4) it establishes God's kingdom or rule. The new song therefore encapsulates the theology of Revelation: the redemptive work of Christ is the sine qua non for the establishment of God's kingdom.

Thank you for helping me learn something new :D
