Well, it wasn’t judgement day back then, after all.

But Prince’s little “It’s the end of the world as we know and I feel fine” ditty wasn’t so doom and gloom.

To paraphrase someone else’s smart-alecky advice, when life gives you lemons, get some vodka and throw a party.

The song was all about the fruitlessmess of constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

That there is no point of being afraid, even if it is Judgement Day; so to speak.

I think he had the right mindset — what’s the point of spending your last moments running around screaming?

But things are usually not as horrible as they first appear.

People are a pretty tough stock.

We can get through some pretty hellacious times, and come back swinging stronger than ever.

So put that in perspective — but always throw a party like it’s gonna be your last…

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Could have sworn it was judgement dayThe sky was all purple
There were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction
You know I didn’t even care

They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999!

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren’t meant to last

War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I’m gonna listen to my body tonight

They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999!
1999!

If you didn’t come to party
Don’t bother knockin’ on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby, he’s ready to roar

Yeah, everybody’s got a bomb
We could all die any day
But before I’ll let that happen
I’ll dance my life away

They say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
(We’re runnin’ outta time)
So tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999!

Say, say,
Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999!

Alright, it’s 1999!

You say it, 1999!

1999!

1999! Don’t stop, don’t stop, say it 1 more time!

1999!
