i always thought 1999 was such a landmark album for Prince ...
(not that the others didnt have "gems" .... ) but with 1999 all of a sudden it seemed like Prince was "grown up " ....  | |

This may sound weird but the "cymbal" work on this song drives me nuts. I love it. I also wish I could understand all of what he says when he's talking. He says something like "I never tasted your ice cream, baby you're the star, the number one supreme." The rest I can kind of make out but not the very beginning it's too low.
I LOVE THE VIDEO!!!  MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

The song is amazing, 1999 doesn't really have a singular centerpiece, because it's so big and several songs are longer than average, but this is the longest clockin' in at just under 9 and half minutes, the longest Prince track officially released under his own thus far (I presume, without checking). On any other album, this would surely be the centerpiece.
I love how the song, literally, climaxes... from fasten your seat-belts onwards. Kind of like a Funkadelic space ride, yet not 70s futuristic, but 80s futuristic, cold, robotic and sexual.

This song is pure Prince. I love this track.
I feel it's very underated. The live version at the birthday show 86 is simply magnificent. I just can't believe all the things people say ! | |

I've said it once and I'll say it til the day I die.1999 is a masterpiece!You can see Prince's vision for the project,even without videos.
Favorite track-Lady Cab Driver Favorite video-Automatic Favorite lyric-"I dream of how you kiss me.not with your lips,but with your soul.with you I'm never bored.talk to me some more.I can hear you.I'm going to have to torture you now." larry luvlife

» MetroArea [Edited 2/10/05 15:22pm] I totally agree. It's definitely underrated. Some people are actually put off by the length of the song. Too me, the song is perfect exactly the way it is, length and all. | |

I agree w/ everybody who agrees   This was my absolute favorite track on that album for YEARS. DMSR only recently took that crown for me, but Automatic is definitely KILLER    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Wow, this song must get the most threads dedicated soley to any one song. It's almost a weekly occurrence.
"Automatic" was my fav Prince tune from '82 to '88. Nowdays, sometimes I prefer "Something in the Water" over it -- kinda depends what mood I'm in. ...and don't 4get 2 give this a go with nothing else on but yo' headphones!  | |

Great song and the entire album is absolutely perfect. Prince at his very best. Andy is a four letter word. | |
