Video y letra de 1999 de Prince

1999 es una composicion altamente apreciada. Es una cancion que produce muchos sentimientos aflorados. Posee un ritmo idoneo para cierto tipo de baile. Esta y otra docena de canciones aparecieron en el album1999. El video, en cambio, no es del todo bueno. No nos gusto el video de la rola.

Don't wo rry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreami n' when I wrote thi s, fo rgive me i f it goes astray
But when I woke up thi s mo rni n', could've swo rn it was Judgment Day
The sky was all purple, there were people runni n' everywhere
Tryi n' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care
Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I am gonna party l ike it's 1999!
I was dreami n' when I wrote thi s, so sue me i f I go 2 fast
But li fe i s just a party a nd parties weren't meant 2 last
War i s all around us, my mi nd says prepare 2 fight
So i f I gotta die, I am gonna li sten 2 my body 2night
Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I am gonna party l ike it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah)
People, let me tell U somethi n'
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knocki n' on my doo r
I got a lion i n my pocket a nd, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah)
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Oh)
But befo re I let that happen, I'll dance my li fe away
Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runni n' out of time)
So 2night I am gonna party l ike it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)
Say it one mo re time

So 2night I am gonna party l ike it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna)
Alright, 1999
