Ok...I always knew and loved the song Raspberry Beret, probably the most played Prince song on the radio.....but I'm curious, what's the Raspberry Beret Prince was referring to? According to the Urban Dictionary, a Raspberry beret is "the act of eating-out a womans ass while she menstruates onto your forehead" OR "A menstruating woman's equivilent to a mushroom stamping, in which she drops trou' and rubs her bloody cooch on a bald mans head, or a full haired mans forehead, thus endowing him with a thin red, yet jauntily worn raspberry chapeaux." eek eek eek

no sarcasm here, but a friend once suggested that the beret itself is a metaphor for vagina...and if it was warm, she would not mind to be naked.

I'm not entirely sure what Prince is talking about. Does he mean the girl is wearing a red beret or she's wearing what the Urban dictionary's talking about, or...she gave him one. lol razz

Either way, great song. biggrin beret


Perhaps it just means a Rasberry Coloured berret - as in a pinkish coloured hat !!!

It's about a lazy dude who works at a 5 and dime store who loses his virginity to a not-so-bright chick wearing a raspberry-colored beret (and not much else).

And the reason I asked was because with Prince, you never know what to expect really. Gotten used to expecting the unexpected. God, I love that man....fallinluv

I was reading about cross cultural stories that feature red caps, little red ridinghood is ours but the story is universal and signifies virginity. A 26 year old pop musician unconciously revising the archetype is fascinating, that's my take anyway.

Hi. wave

Glad you saw the humor. lol

Nope, that's what the song is about. The lyrics speak for themselves.

UMMM. This song came out way before the Urban dictionary, they named that disgusting act AFTER the song, not vice-(no pun intended)versa.

this song is clearly a testament to the plight of a young man with limited financial means and no path to uplifting his battered psyche and then he meet a young bohemian girl with the aforementioned beret. She reminds him of a time of innocence in his life and they escape the mundane trivialities of the secondhand store to fuck like rabbits while a horse wathces!

biggrin I think very deeply
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

Ya, I did a little reading on the Little red ridinghood thing yesterday, it seems to have something to do with either virginity or menstruation. The fascinating thing is it is a universal, Prince has surprised me many times with his allusions. What can we say, he's a genius. You don't see this kind of stuff everyday in pop music, then or now.

Also, Prince being Prince has an interesting twist on the tale. You know, the myth has a wolf devouring the grandmother and the girl but Prince totally rolls the feminine and the masuline into the other sex. You know, "had the nerve to ask me if I planned to do her any harm" mentioning how big she was. It's like he's the "bitch" which he did better and more gloriously than anyone else.
