Lmaoooo! Umm No Michael Jackson!! I guess those 33 million copies of Thriller was just a joke; Everyone of Michaels albums sold platinum; Prince couldn't dance and barely sing; screaming
"Mommy, why does everybody have a BOMB..." Only Prince could write and produce one of the greatest party anthems of all time about the fear of nuclear war. At the time of its release the threat of nuclear war was palpable in the early 80s. As kids we were all SPOOKED that Russia and the US were going to wipe everyone off the map. Prince was tapped into all of that.
I so remember that time, I was so scared! Look at us now, right back here again :sigh: Fantastic song though, I loved the reaction! Prince has been my number one since I was 12, 2 years later Purple Rain was released…there was never a day I doubted him! 💜
Fantastic song. So good it doesn't matter the year. Multi talented artist. Singer, songwriter, plays a variety of instruments, one of the best guitarist ever, a mentor, dancer, entertainer and had his own style with whatever he did. R.I.P. 🎸 SINATRA - That's Life Steely Dan - Peg, Babylon Sisters, Hey 19, Kid Charlemagne, FM(No Static), Dont' Take Me Alive, I Got the News, Josie.
There are so many songs in the catalog its tough to pick but as good as his big time radio hits were, there are a ton of amazing songs that never hit the airwaves. Feel fortunate I got to see him one time live a few years before his passing....best concert ive ever seen, 2 hours of non stop musical medley of most of his hits
The song scared the hell out of us! the man just could not stop singing about the end of the world. It was fire though😂😂😂 I didn't even see the flashback part! I was like "why is dude dressed for for the office?" LOL
"Let's go crazy," would be a good one to do next from Prince, also Incubus does a 🔥 cover of that one too. Plus please don't sleep on Incubus: so many really great songs from those guys.
@UCDPD12cZKrbGfX_2oYvH1Eg Well...as far back as Incubus goes from my perspective, I first discovered & fell in love with their album titled Make Yourself. I could listen to the whole thing front to back & put it on repeat. I then very quickly went out & got their previous album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. & Was astounded to find out that I liked that one just as much. So naturally when Morning View came out I quickly snatched that one up as well, & wouldn't you know it...more ear candy🤗... There's a reason that they have a greatest hits Album called Monuments & Melodies (which is where you'll find the Prince cover BTW)... So I may recommend beginning with more off of Make Yourself, since that was what more people are familiar with being their more commercially successful album, but don't sleep on S.C.I.E.N.C.E. either. It is a Heavier sound than Make Yourself or Morning View or A crow left of the murder (which was actually their fifth album as they had another previous to S.C.I.E.N.C.E. called The Fungus Among Us). Now I'm not really a big fan of that one as I feel they were really still kind of experimenting with their sound at the time) Anyway, I hope you do go on a deep dive into their music & "Enjoy Incubus" (Pun intended actually, B/C I actually almost forgot about their second E.P. by that title, which would make A crow left of the murder their sixth.) They also had three songs on the "Stealth" movie soundtrack too. Plus it may surprise you to know they also covered Big Pun as well (no pun intended) 🤣
💕✨😎 Oh my goodness y’all Sopranos AND Prince 💜💫must be our lucky day! This was a a great throwback, you both look amazing, and I could feel your joy and how much fun you were having!
I’m a recent Prince fan which is upsetting because I never got to appreciate or see him when he was still here but I’m so glad I’ve discovered all of his amazing talents and songs! It’s crazy how talented he was at literally everything
I comment last year to this video. But I said it before and will say it again. You two look fabulous and beautiful. BJ looking sharp my man. Asia, Stunning! God Bless
Great reaction. I’m guessing it took a while to get it unblocked. You could never go wrong with Prince to bring in the new year. especially this song.🥂❤️✌️🌼
One tiny thing that made me sad while Prince (my alltime favourite solo male artist in music,and in many ways "the true king of pop",for me at least) was alive,was that he would stop performing 1999 after New Years Eve 1999. He mentioned something about the song had lost its full meaning to him. He was thinking of maybe re-writing the lyrics,but i dont think such a song was ever released. He just moved on from it pretty much. Princes message to all the ladies out there: I got a lion in my pocket,and baby its ready to RAWR! Gee,i wonder what that means,coming from a guy that wrote Get Off,I Wanna Be Your Lover,Darling Nikki etc. I feel under dressed looking at you 2,i started to believe that it was the holidays already!
He continued to perform 1999. ☺️ I think the last time I saw him perform it was 2014 or 2015. And he did re-release it. Check out the 1999 New Master album with Rosie Gaines, Larry Graham, and Doug E. Fresh on it. 🔥🔥
Prince was likely raised as a Seventh Day Adventist. “Can’t run from Revelation”. “I’ve got a lion in my pocket, and baby he’s ready to roar”. In the Book of Revelation the Lion of Judah is a symbol for the return of Christ, but he's probably just talking about his dong, or maybe both and it's a bar. 🤣
He's the ONLY ONE that did a song 🎵 about this SPECIAL YEAR 1999!!! I REMEMBER IT WELL! WOW! BUT my children were so young 5 yrs and 1 yr old..so we stayed home at did no partying..lol 🎉❤ 😂
I remember when this song came out everyone played the shit out of it. My cousin she had the record and played it all the time. At that time I was jamming to Iron Maiden's album The Number of the Beast. Can't beat Prince and Iron Maiden it the 80's. Good Times the 80's.
I was in Minnesota for the Millenia. 1999 My husband and I hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks. He had been finishing up in Waco. Then he was joining me in Westbrook, Mn. We were changing our stars. We lived hard lives in Texas, separately. We had only been together 3 years then. We weren't married either. I was, 35 he was 49 . People would ask him if he ever heard of Sam Elliot or seen any of his movies, he got asked that alot. Yes, he looked like Sam Elliot. Think cowboy biker Sam. Lol anyway I digress 🤣🤣 Way off subject. 1999 We fell asleep watching, or were trying to bring in the New Year. Made it all the way to 10:00. 😮 sad isn't it. It was a great day though. Leon passed away New Years Eve 2019. 😢😢 He was 69, and I was 55. The one thing I've noticed most since he's been gone is, there's really not alot of men out there. Not like Leon. So, I guess I'm gonna need to get back down to Texas and find one who wants to live in the country in Minnesota. If it wasn't for my drop biscuits, sausage gravy and the fact that he did love me he wouldn't of moved here. Yes it's cold. But no more cold than it's hot in Texas. Nov. To the end of March it's cold here. April til Nov. It's frikkin hot in Texas. Want to talk about this summer down there. Lol. 1996 was the last time it was thet hot. 69 days straight of 100 degree heat with no rain. How Many days did yall get this year. Wow.. Should of seen the snow in my front yard last winter. Lol I babble on too much. Oh well God bless yall ✌️✌️ & ❤❤
@renecasillas1308 Darling Nikki is on Purple Rain. It’s in the movie too. I have both 1999 and Purple Rain and it’s definitely on Purple Rain. It’s the last song on side 1 after Computer Blue. 🤦♀️
You gotta check out Prince "Automatic" video. It's one of his rare early 80's video where the full version of the song is featured. Prepare for takeoff...
asia: for a woman as SMOKIN' HOT as you are to not understand the reference to a "lion in his pocket" is simply inconceivable. bj: love the neat buttoned-down look. :p :)
I was listening but not watching and Asia scared the fudge outta me with that popper! LOL!! And "Lion in my pocket and its ready to roar" is a reference to the symbol on Magnum cond.....(not sure if I can say that on here, but sure BJ had it figured out anyway).
Asia that was funny with that horn in ye mouth...i was waiting for u to blow it! Oh you will later. U guys are making me into a better comedian! So i wanna hear what was tonight...that made u guys look tight and alright!
Prince is and always will be the goat 🐐

Prince was & is extremely underrated as a guitarist. He was an amazing singer, producer, lyricist & also guitarist.
Yup...his guitar playing kinda got "lost in the sauce" of everything else Prince did great.
amazing singer?!!!😂😂😂
@@GenX7119yes…
The words Musical Genius do not even do Prince justice.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Little Red Corvette” and “Delirious”!!!
Prince was awesome in concert. Sheila E was killer too!

@@kelleydavis100 Indeed!
I was in college when this song came out and when this song was played in a club EVERYONE hit the dance floor. It was an awesome time. 😊
Fantastic song. So good it doesn't matter the year. Multi talented artist. Singer, songwriter, plays a variety of instruments, one of the best guitarist ever, a mentor, dancer, entertainer and had his own style with whatever he did. R.I.P. 🎸

Prince will always be a genius 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I'm telling you all, I came into it in the 80s and 90s, in my 20-30s, I am sad we lost this, the good times. We are going to bring this back...
Loved Prince beyond words !! ♥💖♥💖😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite song by Prince...Thanks for reacting.
Damn Asia. Just damn. ❤

Love the dress Asia don't even remember what BJ was wearing good song too.
Prince - When Doves Cry - Little Red Corvette - Erotic City - Let's go Crazy - Nikki ....... to name a few greats!!
Love that y'all dressed up like it's new year's eve. Asia is beautiful as usual. B.J. you the man bro!
The 1999 album changed the whole landscape of music 🤘🏾

Glad I got to see the Prince live on his birthday in Detroit. What a showman. He did not disappoint..
You two are just too much, BJ looks like an air plane pilot and asia, definitely up to have a lot of fun...!!!
Hell Yeah
Y2K baby!! Prince had us partying hard in 1999.
Back when this song first came out I remember partying at the club & we were lime 1999 wow that's far. Then boom here we are!! I love Prince!!

This guy learned at least a dozen Prince songs on guitar over the past year! 🎸 🎉
What guy??
@@michaelasay8587 This guy, me
You look great guys
BJ reminds me of the actor Jessie L Martin. Especially when he was Law and Order as Det. Green.
I comment last year to this video. But I said it before and will say it again. You two look fabulous and beautiful. BJ looking sharp my man. Asia, Stunning! God Bless
My wife and I love you both sooo much. It brings back memories. We love to hang with you.
Love Prince...always!!
When this came out in the UK, we went wild. Princess was also in the charts. Queen was too, and so was King 😂
Great reaction. I’m guessing it took a while to get it unblocked. You could never go wrong with Prince to bring in the new year. especially this song.🥂❤️✌️🌼

They played this song at my 1999 sober grad night wooooo!
*Remember Y2K Freakout?* When we all feared the unknown whether world would end if ALL computer clocks didn't advance past 1999!

Way off subject.
1999 We fell asleep watching, or were trying to bring in the New Year. Made it all the way to 10:00. 😮 sad isn't it.
It was a great day though.

Most people put Purple Rain as their favorite Prince tune, but I prefer this upbeat groove.
Fun fact; a certain Phil Collins was very inspired by this banger.
He used the chord progression on the keys on his hit Sussudio..
Beautiful Ones is my Fav
Wow, all dressed up. One song the cries out 80's is this one ,1999!
Favorite dance somg when this came out
I had this cassette..lol

The future, "1999", is closer to 1982 (release) than 2023. ✨👽✨
Did i miss the kive party? U notifying us??!!!
💞
Off this same album Let's Pretend We're Married
Fair warning very nasty. Then DSMR

Thanks for this reaction
how come you have put this video up today? 😁
If the economy continues the way it is, this New Years Eve I'll be partying like it's $19.99.
🤣🤣🤣 So true!
I think this dropped in 1982
🎉🕺💃🕺💃🍸🍸✌️
Prince was out there stealing your girl while wearing her heels and looking better than she does
First! Hey Asia and BJ!
How much is for a song request
Please react to a bunch of his other hits.
Only Prince could get away with wearing that outfit. I always liked Take Me With You off that album.
@LOKISlog7 Take Me With U was on the next album Purple Rain. It wasn’t on 1999.
Asia that was funny with that horn in ye mouth...i was waiting for u to blow it! Oh you will later. U guys are making me into a better comedian! So i wanna hear what was tonight...that made u guys look tight and alright!
