10 Creepy Predictions In Songs That Came True
3. Zapp's Computer Love Predicted Internet Dating
Internet dating is as common today as the Black Death was in 1347. Unlike back in medieval times though, all the rats are beamed to you via your mobile device, and the idea is to get bitten by a small bug - the love bug.
But way before your Tinders and your Bumbles, electro-funk troubadours Zapp were imagining a world where we could all find love on the world wide web. A staple source of samples for West Coast gangsta rap producers at the height of G-funk, the group were well ahead of the curve when it came to online romance, writing in their 1986 track Computer Love: “Need a special girl / To share in my computer world / I no longer need a strategy / Thanks to modern technology.”
If that’s not enough to convince you, how about the lines: "You know I've been around / From sexy mamas to cool prima donnas / I want to share your treasure, oh so rare / 'Cause it's your face I see on my computer screen.”? eHarmony, eat your heart out.
