Oh, hot summer
Hot summer, yeah
Oh, hot summer
Hot summer, yeah
Hot summer, yeah
As long, as long as you're my...
As long, as long as you're my...

Anybody close enough to hear
Knows what we been listenin' to all year
These are the days where people told me to fear
But as long as I got your ear

I think it's gonna be hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Just wait and see
Hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Shoo-be-doo-bee
Hot summer (As long, as long as you're my...)
As long as you're my company

See the people gathered all around ("Ooh girl")
Dancin' to a futuristical sound
Some of them are teachers, some are a clown
All deserve a hug and a pat

Because it's gonna be hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Just wait and see
Hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Shoo-be-doo-bee
Hot summer (As long, as long as you're my...)
As long as you're my company

Hot summer, hot summer
Hot summer (Yeah...)
Oh
Hot summer
Let me see you shake your head now
Hot summer
Hey!

Everybody's got a favorite friend
They got your back no matter what till the end (Oh yeah)
Ain't got no breaks but gotta whole lotta bend
Every broken heart can mend
You better believe it

Why is life always a mystery?
It will be whatever it will be
It all depends on what you think you see
You? I don't know, but me...

I think it's gonna be hot summer
Hot summer
Hot Summer
I think it's gonna be hot summer
Hot summer (Hot summer)
Just wait and see
Hot summer (Hot summer)
Hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Hot summer (Hot summer, yeah)
Hot summer (As long, as long as You're my...)
As long, as long as You're my...
Oh, hot summer
Hot summer (Ooh)
Hot summer (Ooh)

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
