    1999 came out in 1982. That's how forward thinking Prince was....("1999" is about partying as the end of the world is taking place....Nuclear war.) Genius personified. Played all the instruments on this song, wrote, and produced (as with most of his albums).

    'Lion in my pocket..' is directly from Prince, from this song. Anyone else saying it, they got it filtered down to them from this song. That's the iconic-ness of Prince and how big of a song this was. It's a sex thing, most stuff was with Prince in his early years.

    Missed this reactiion. One of the best song! When it was written, 1999 seemed so far away. Here we are in 2024 and this song is not only still bad ass but relevant. Prince was prophetic. Wendy is the dark haired girl and went on to play an integral part in Prince & the Revolution. This was 1982. Damn is it that long!!!! Prince used innuendo sexually and religiously and intertwined both.
    "I got a Lion in my pocket and baby he is ready to roar" speaks to Judah as the lion, but also as a a reference that sexually he is a a lion. The song was written during the COLD WAR so it was written about nuclear armageddon. The song hints to religion and sex throughout. Prince often times intertwined the pleasure of sex with faith in God.

    This is from 1982. The band lineup is Dez Dickerson on guitar (yes, he left the band after this album and tour but was in the movie Purple Rain as a solo act), Lisa Coleman and Dr Fink on keys, Brown Mark on bass, Bobby Z on drums, and Jill Jones on backing vocals. Lisa, Mark, Bobby, and Matt Fink (along with the addition of Wendy Melvoin on guitar) became The Revolution on the next album, Purple Rain. They remained Prince’s band for several years. I’m going to keep recommending live performances so you can really get a sense of Prince’s brilliance. The live performances of Purple Rain from the Syracuse show or 1985 American Music Awards, Thieves in the Temple/It from Glam Slam, Baby I’m a Star/Push from the Special Olympics, Forever in My Life/It from Sign O the Times and soooo many more are all great. Here’s the link to that Forever in My Life performance in case you’d like to check it out. It’s from 1987 so you’d get to see what he was doing then since you guessed 1999 might be from that time period. ua-cam.com/video/X2DPhTYN2jM/v-deo.htmlsi=pWPg_0bGVRvJZdNd

  • @Great-Documentaries

    The song was written during a very cold part of the cold war when the US and the Soviet Union had enough nuclear weapons pointed at one another to destroy the entire planet (that's not hyperbole - they really did) and there was a fear that we all could die in a moment's notice. That's really how people lived back then. This song said "F it" I'm gonna party like it's the last day ever. For a lot of people, this was their first exposure to Prince (in 1982). Little Red Corvette was the follow-up to this. Then he became a superstar when the movie Purple Rain came out in 1984.

Just about every decade in the 20th Century was futurelistically looking forward to the year 2000 and what the 21st Century...THE FUTURE...would be like. The 1980s was especially enthusiastic looking forward to the year 2000. New Wave was also about envisioning the future.

    So about, the coming of the year 2000. I was 32 when 2000 came, I had graduated with a BS in Computer Science. But backing up before that. The biggest fear to be honest, was that the entire world, computer systems, would just stop working because most software was built to handle dates with only a two digit year. Once the year 2000 hit, that wasn’t going to work anymore, ALL of those programs, in the word mind you, needed to handle a 4 digit year to work properly handling an appropriate date. Just think about it can sound like quite an overwhelming situation!
    So many things in the world are run by computer programs, even back then. But companies were already aware and working on the issue, to be prepared. It was blown a little bit out of proportion. It all worked out in the end. ☺️

    But 1999 the song by Prince. This was way before purple rain and all the others that you've heard before so it's the early stuff. If I remember right this had to be 1982...👍 Thank you for playing Prince songs. I like to see the reaction. You really need to see the movie purple rain and he had another movie that was called under the Cherry Moon. Those were really two good movies. He had another one called alphabet. I didn't see that one. It was called alphabet Street in 88
