"Party like it's 1999"

Can't Prince secure rights to this phrase?

EvErYbOdY keeps using it.

U are harsh LOL

Im still scratchin my head over this disc...

How could he combine "Pretty Man" and "Everlasting Now" for "Get On The Boat" and think he can get away with it?

Why put a rock song ("Fury") on there and then dilute it all to hell ?

OK to go off topic ...MY THREAD.

Something happened to him in the 2 years
he disappeared. This CD was supposed to come out last year...

RAVE started the "Prince trying to re-create his old music". But he should have realized there's no need for that.
....FUCKEN FANS polluted him.

Then again with MUSICOLOGY.

I actually like RAVE & MUSICOLOGY, but
SETTING OUT to make a marketable CD
can't be a good way to create.

I'd rather he do a car commercial to make money... leave the music to be inspirational and artistic.

I still don't know why anyone would want to exclaim that they want to party like it was 7 years ago.

*yawn*

Youre thinking of the Human Body intro to the song.

But it does sound like an emacipation track
