Are you still partying like it's 1999? If you "get" this song reference then perhaps it's a sign that you've been enjoying the overindulgent side of life for quite some time now! Are you a graduate of the Class of '99, and still reserving your weekends for drinks and socialising?  Is the last of your youthful energy being spent on dancefloors rather than in gyms?
