"Little Red Corvette" by Prince
Posted 9/12/2012 6:00:00 AM

Wow, a song about a fast crimson car much like the Beach Boys would write? Not exactly. This is a tune chock full of racy innuendo.

I still wonder about the significance of this girl parking sideways. The pocket full of (Trojan) horses is pretty clear to me. Then, during the chorus when we hear, “Little Red Corvette (clap, clap) baby, you’re much too fast” I’m convinced he’s not singing about a fiberglass car.

Please note that no car appears in the video. Instead we have your basic lip-synched “live” performance designed to highlight this guy’s supreme purple-ness. Prince is a true nonconformist. Usually during the guitar lead we’ll see...you guessed it... a guitarist. Nah, instead he’s spotlighting his dancing prowess, even doing the splits without splitting his purple pants. All-in-all, not suitable for a Kidz Bop redo.
