🎉 Prince's "1999" - the 1982 pop-funk anthem that made partying like it's 1999 cool decades before 1999! This isn't just a dance song - it's Prince's invitation to celebrate life in the face of uncertainty. That opening synth? Pure funk magic. The spoken intro "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I only want to have some fun"? Iconic. Fun fact: The song was written after hearing a doomsday prophecy by Nostradamus, but Prince turned it into the ultimate party anthem. Originally released in 1982, it became a top ten hit upon its re-release and earned a spot on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs list. When Prince sings "Let's go crazy," you know the party is about to start. ✨
