i heard this in my car on the radio the other day, first time ever hearing it. i couldnt turn it off, now that ive found it on youtube i think its safe to say i wont be able to turn it off ever now
I don't really like Prince because he's a copyright maximalist and tried to sue some family for posting a video on Youtube of their girl dancing to one of his songs. (She was just showing how much she liked the song...) So to this video I say...go Weird Al and boo Prince!
Man it's the best version of 1999 on youtube, way better than so called "hd". It reminds me the time when i'm still a kid sitting in front of the tv watchin 1999.
@mrdamntn Scary thought man. I remember being a little kid listening to this song back in '82 and since I couldn't subtract numbers yet I had to ask my dad how long it would be until 1999.
Me and my friends were stuck the deck on replay with this on for abuot half an hour new years eve 1998, then 2 minutes to midnite we turned it off and went to church.
I remember my highschool days (91-94) when this song was so popular at this time if year. 2012 will be a blast but there isn't any year better than 1999!
Contains one of the all time great lines... I've got a lion in my pocket and baby he's ready to roar.!.. You can only get away with this one when your young ... use it later at your peril !!
@duncan7599 You didn't have to just be a kid when this song was a hit back in 1982 - 83 to think 1999 was rather far away at the time. I was 19 years old at the time, and I just didn't think 1999, let alone 2012, was going to get to us as quickly as it seemed to have done so.
@duncan7599 hahahaha As a kid I had my life planned out for me. But, guess what. it didn't go as planned. So yep 1999 was a long ways away when I was a kid. lol
I can assure you I'm not a lesbian, but those girls did make me question my sexuality. Prince is a genius, not up there with MJ, but he's got the whole package.
Every time I hear this song I think of PJ Brown. During the Celtics 2008 title run at the age of 38 he came of the bench and partied like it was 1999.
I love this song and this video. I love prince and 1999, but I suggest every viewer and reader to beware the like/dislike ratings. Abuse them too much and it will catch his attention, and guess what will happen then?
I cant wait for the kids who were born in 1999 to show up. 12 year old girls are fucking hot these days and I will do to them exactly what Prince does to those.
@HeroinForever you are a child molester and anyone who thinks 12 year old girls are "fucking hot" needs to go to some sort of institution. you think prince really did stuff to 12 year old girls? you are such a moron if you do. all 'artists" lie about what they do in songs. better shut your mouth before you get your ass kicked by someone who hears you say sick shit like that. scum.
I wonder what his party was like on 1999 new years eve. God I wish I could have been there =) I'll bet it was decadent and hedonistic as hell. Just the way I like em.
@RainDawn I know the whole story.I remember when Prince came out, before he went to the symbol, and then went back to Prince. I was still a teenager when MTV first aired. I sat up and watched the the first music video ever shown with all my friends (It was a total party) . I'm just sayin'< it sucks that you can't find Prince's original videos here on YouTube regardless of who the a**holes are that disallow them. And truth be told....I still own the 1999 "CASSETTE" to this day. *wink
I first saw/heard this when I was 12 - I am now nearly 40. This tune made me immediately buy all that Prince had done at the time (beautiful stuff!). FORMATIVE YOUTH!
@richdiva007 Greetings hopeful survuvivor. Nothing to worry about, for the Human Race has survived the global catastrophe. As you can see, it's been 5 months since that fateful day, and we have converted to our old ways hunting, gathering, and even scavanging for food. All is well.... maybe except for the zombies.
it took me years to realize what an awsome guitarist prince is. It was only after I saw him play at the concert for the late George Harrison I really saw what he could do. Another thing I like about prince.....he seems to like Fender Telecaster guitars.....a very cool choice in guitars
HEre is a mystery that God has revealed. Jesus is the word of God. He died to give the Holy ghost, After he died God destroyed the ark of the covenant that held the ten commandments. He gave us a new covenant. One not written with ink or in stone but in our hearts with his spirit. BUT king james was born 1566 6th of scotland, he gave 66 books written with ink and that contains the old covnenant which was done away in Christ. THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST!
@motzPHaragas ....MY BAD; CELEBRATING OSAMA'S DEATH....DEDICATE THIS TO THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE WHITEHOUSE PARTYING! I WAS SO EXCITED;I COULD NEVER WISH THAT ON BARRACK OBAMA; THANKS FOR CATCHING THAT!!!!!
@mrhowardb Yeah hehe Prince of Love Symbol, whatever the hell he calls himself better take his finger out. He's not making friends. And what happened to Fair Use?
You know for being so Jehova. He sure does stink of pride! He needs to get over himself and bring back "prince and the revolution" and make MILLIONS on a world tour!! That would be so amazing!! Do it Dude! before you get too old!
I always thought Prince was unique, but I kinda lost track of him with all the name changes, etc. I hope he makes a "comeback" (for want of a better expression).
