1999 (parody of Bowling for Soup's 1985)

Oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh

Ella headdesked herself
She never had a great life
Must do therapy once a week
Her husband has a crappy job
Her dreams went down the drain
When she turned 23
She only had one boyfriend
Something happened to her master plan

She was gonna be an actress, she wanted to be a pop star
She was gonna dance on the hood of Snoop Dogg's car
The great suburban life is her worst nightmare
Nothing for her has been all right...

Since the days of Stacey Morgan, Small Kitten, before we had Harry Potter
We had Space Wizards, Rasputins, and Doctor Mighty on TV
Her three kids, all in school, they tell her, "Mom, you're uncool
Because you're still preoccupied with 1999!"

Oh, oh, oh (1999) oh, oh, oh

Ella saw all those Disney movies
She knows every line
From the "Lion King" to "Tarzan"
And even "Anastasia"
She rocked out to SLAM!
She wasn't a Spice Girls fan
She thought that she'd hook up
With Lance Bass of N*SYNC

What happened to her blue jean jacket with the green sequins
And who is that other guy singing for INXS
Since when did people watch reality TV
Whatever happened to cartoons, talk shows, and...

She still longs for Stacey Morgan, Small Kitten, before we had Harry Potter
We had Space Wizards, Rasputins, and Doctor Mighty on TV
Her three kids, all in school, they tell her, "Mom, you're uncool
Because you're still preoccupied with 1999!"

Oh, oh, oh (1999)

She hates 2010, she wants it to stop
They're calling R.E.M. classic rock
How did some guy called Barack Obama become the president
She really wants all of this to stop, stop, STOP...

...and bring back Stacey Morgan, Small Kitten, before we had Harry Potter
We had Space Wizards, Rasputins, and Doctor Mighty on TV
Her three kids, all in school, they tell her, "Mom, you're uncool
Because you're still preoccupied with 1999!"

But we're tired of Stacey Morgan, Small Kitten, before we had Harry Potter
We had Space Wizards, Rasputins, and Doctor Mighty on TV
Her three kids, all in school, they tell her, "Mom, you're uncool
Because you're still preoccupied with 1999!"

Please let go of the past (1999)
Say goodbye to yesterday (1999)
It all sucked anyway (1999)
You can't go back to 1999!
