Prince - Out O' Touch or Prophet?

List some lyrics/songs which, for their release year/date, were out of touch...

EXAMPLE: Lolita: refers to "Long Island Lolita", the young temptress that hooked Joey Buttaffuco...so long ago.

Berlin Wall: This came down during the Reagan administration, right?


List some lyrics/songs which, for their release year/date, were amazingly
crystalballish:


EXAMPLE: 1999: This song shows that Prince was way ahead of his time.

Osama Bin Laden gettin' ready to bomb: Dayum Prince! What are the next mega lotto numbers?

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Yeah, Amy Fischer. That's what the song is about and where the term "lolita" originated from.Tell people that they will be impressed with how smart you are.



Berlin Wall: This came down during the Reagan administration, right?


1989. Reagan, huh? Listen, this line gets dogged on too much. What? It's a historical event too recent to be referenced? Whatever. Maybe the line about Frank and Ava is old enough to be historic and cool in your eyes.

Many forecasted 1999/2000 to be the end of days. Prince wasn't the 1st with this idea of the end of the world at the end of the millenium. Big whoop.

What's the matter, you're shoes on too tight???

Yeah, Frank and Ava...I don't even know who that refers to.
Another great example!

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner.
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.
