The Sky Was All Purple

There were people running everywhere! Tried to run from my destruction, you know I didn't even care... I still remember how big this hit was when it came out in 1982... and then again as 1999 approached and passed us... and the world didn't end, and Prince got older and had hip replacement surgery and still continued to belt out this classic... our "Prince March" rolls on with "1999"...
