Y2K Baby

Liner Notes

@amelea:

I came into this world right as Y2K wrecked all the computers... don't worry, I rewrote the code ;)

If you didn't know, I'm a Y2K baby :) (Jan 1st 2000)

Lyrics

Y2K baby She's a meltdown Y2K baby You better count down Y2K baby It's getting close now 5-5 4 3-3 2 seconds til midnight

She's an all nighter lighter Sleeps through the fire alarm Smokin up the highway No you can't get far

She's the sun She's the rain She's the numbers on your screen She's the good She's the bad She's the beauty in the scene She can run She can hide You can try you can try But at midnight… At midnight…

Y2K baby She's a meltdown Y2K baby You better count down Y2K baby It's getting close now 5-5 4 3-3 2 seconds til midnight

Y2K baby She’ll wreck all your code Y2K baby Don't leave her alone Y2K baby You should've known It's countdown Everytime She comes home

Yeah I'm a Y2K baby I’ll wipe your mind clean Forget the computers You should be scared of me I'll drink your liquor cabinet Rip off all of your clothes I'm an all-nighter lighter Counting down to my toes 12 5 4 3 1 I can't count You better run

Y2k baby Don't know which way she goes Y2k baby Don't just follow the road Y2k baby Driving through the smoke She's an all-nighter lighter Asking if you can take her home

It's another new year Y2K send me the blue Cause my screens are blank The clock is new Pried it off the wall Drew a calendar in chalk And then we dust it off We dust it off

Y2k baby You better run Y2K baby She's coming out the sun Y2K baby The sparklers going off Fire alarm in the building Firecrackers til dawn

Turn left Turn left The GPS is on route Go right Go right Cause she’s flying down south Turn left Turn left No she's up at the pole Spinning round like a clock on steroids counting down

Y2K baby She's coming out the sun Y2K baby Yeah you better run Y2K baby Gleaming then she's done 12 10 11 9 Seconds til midnight

Does she know Her birth’s like a countdown Does she know The way the clock’s going ‘round Don't you know She's in your phone now Don't you know She rewrote the code now

Go left Go left Cause GPS is on route Go right Go right Cause you can't trust that thing now

Go left Go left Cause GPS is on route Go right Go right Cause you can't trust that thing now

She's the sun She's the rain She's the numbers on your screen She's the good She's the bad She's the beauty in the scene She can run She can hide You can try you can try But at midnight… At midnight…

Y2K baby She's a meltdown Y2K baby You better count down Y2K baby It's getting close now 5-5 4 3-3 2 seconds til midnight

Love that bass.... Oh yes. Absolutely love, 5 4 3 1 I can't count You better run So infectious

Convincing acoustic drum sound! Really digging the 70's punk stylin' and rebel humor. You can't help but smile listening to this one! Pure fun.

Love that chorus! Great overall pop song. Also dig the real drums. Is that your boyfriend's drum set? Wait is it real or is it MIDI (the drums not your BF)?

This is such a fun song! I really love your vocal style and the sassy delivery to these extra singable lines! Well done! (I was in high school on y2k and my best friends dad played a prank on all us teenagers and flipped the power off at midnight! We were panicked for a solid five seconds! So cool to know that was the same night you were born!
