      But (as often happens) years later Prince ended up getting Hooked on the pain medication that he was taking for his back or hips. (caused by years of dancing, jumping and constantly doing the splits on stage)

    This song came out in the early 1980s and Prince was singing about a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario. They're partying like it's their last day on earth so they're going to live it up. Back in the late 20th century, it was common for people to speculate about life in the year 2000. The Y2K problem that people talk about wasn't an issue when Prince released this but at the end of the 90s, there was widespread fear that anything with a computer (internet, banking systems, even appliances) would malfunction at midnight on January 1, 2000 because of 2-digit dates (01/01/00 instead of 01/01/2000). Every new computer had a Y2K-complaint sticker on it starting around the mid-90s.

    2000 was supposed to be the "end of the world" because of computer stuff. So partying like it was 1999 meant that we were supposed to party like it was the end of the world. 2000 rolled around and nothing happened.

      In 1982 this was not a concern. There were no PCs as we know them and records were kept on paper in filing cabinets. The big Super Computers didn't rely much on date driven information. It wasn't until the mid to late 1990s that this became an issue because spreadsheets and mainframe software couldn't correctly process dates beyond 1999. The funny thing is that many of the things people thought would stop working didn't use dates at all in their function.

    He said that he had a LION in his pocket and baby he's ready to roar! This song was written and recorded in the 1980s. 1999 was well into the future back then. I know because I was a kid in high school and. Prince fan back in this era.

    Jayvee, I was in 9th grade when this song came out (1984) and it seemed like 1999 was SO far away! So funny now as an adult hearing this song and still grooving to Prince, who was such a genius for his time!
