"6969" is a song written and performed by American comedy rock band Ninja Sex Party, from their album Attitude City. The track was heavily inspired by the song "2112" by Canadian rock band Rush. The song contains vocals by Steel Panther singer Michael Starr, and references Steel Panther's song "In the Future" from their album Balls Out.
At over eight minutes, it is the longest track officially released by Ninja Sex Party to date.
The song's lyrics follow the fictitious characters of Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian, who use a time-travelling spacecraft to journey to the planet Earth in the year 6969. Believing that the year would be the ultimate peak in sexual activity throughout human history, they instead find that society is a metaphorically sterilized dystopia ruled by an abstinent, totalitarian group known as the "Dick Elders". When Danny attempts to reason with them, they recall a prophecy that foretells their downfall, and so their guards fire at the duo with lasers. Danny and Brian escape and, after Danny meets a beautiful girl, they ignite a worldwide orgy that enrages the Elders. As the Elders prepare to murder the duo, Brian destroys them. Having freed humanity from the Elders' regime, Danny has intercourse once again with the girl he met, whose name is revealed to be Kristen (though Danny mistakes it as "Katie"), and he and Brian depart from the future.
The song directly borrows a lyric from the Rush song "2112", as Avidan sings the phrase "I know it's most unusual to come before you so". The narrative described in the song has been considered by some fans to be taking place in an alternate universe derived from a previous song on the album, "Samurai Abstinence Patrol".
The music video for "6969" was released on iTunes and Apple Music on August 31th, 2016, and premiered on YouTube on September 8th, 2016. The video quickly reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Music Video chart.
