Anyone notice how the lyrics from "1999" have found their way into the American vernacular in 1 form or another? I've seen it numerous times, on sitcoms and movies and such. You'll hear someone do a play on the lyrics of "1999"
"I'm gonna party like it's 1939" or "they partied like it was 1899"  The Org is the short yellow bus of the Prince Internet fan community. | |

Do you actually hear people on their cell phones in the supermarket saying "Yeah, girl, tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999?" | |

"I'm gonna party like it's 1939" or "they partied like it was 1899" yea, but those r sooo cliche! now if someone were 2 say "mommy y does everybody have a bomb?" "the sky was all purple" or even from bob george "bob spell that shit backwards..same muthafuckin shit!" then that'd b somthing 2 make a thread about! Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...

He's right though. I always hear ppl playing off it without even realizing with it when they say stuff like "We're gonna party like it's (insert current year here)". It's kinda cool. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I dunno. 'We're gonna party like it's 2005' sounds kinda dumb to me. | |

The Simpsons did it, "We're going to party like 'twas 1799"
Futurama did "We're gonna party like it's 1999!.....again." When John Howard won the election in Australia recently a latenight show said he was "going to party like it's 1959"... ...happens all the time. | |

Ah yes, the genius of Futurama. Even the cliched sounds fresh and vibrant  "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal" - Carl Sagan | |

The Wedding Singer
Party like its 1985 50 cent "we gonna party like its your birthday" Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
