*GASP* Real meaning behind Raspberry Beret..is it true?

Is it true that the real meaning behind "Raspberry Beret" is when you're eating a woman out and she menstruates on your forehead?

yes, of course it is.


Also, when Prince tells Maceo to blow, we all know he's not talking about the sax.

it has been mentioned:

The lyrics of "Raspberry Beret" are about a teenage boy's first sexual experience. Prince describes a girl who "came in through the out door", wearing a raspberry beret - "and if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more". He ends the song by acknowledging that while "they say the first time ain't the greatest", if he could do it all again, he "wouldn't change a stroke".

It is often speculated that the song is about having sex with a girl on her period.

don't know about the "eating out" part though...
i love you for who you are, not the one u feel u need to be.

It's about a foreign girl who couldn't give a kiss to Prince because she was much too young to understand what he wanted. If you wanna see vaginas, menstrues, or whatever, it's up to you.

I don’t know if I should laugh at this interpretation or be sick.

This song came out when I was 12. When you are a kid songs have an entirely different meaning than when you are an adult and realize a few things. Sort of like Bugs Bunny cartoons. . . I loved them and laughed so hard at the jokes without even knowing what it was really about until I got older.

In the part of the song where it says: “Overcast days never turned me on. “

My interpretation of the lyric was: “Over-classed dames never turned me on. “

Growing up poor I thought to myself . . .”I don’t care what they say about Prince, he stands up for poor girls, and would rather date a poor girl than a fancy rich girl”

Just this year I realized that I have had the words wrong all these years. Overcast days DO turn me on, what else is there to do on a rainy day?

It’s funny how we will sometimes hear what we want to hear in a song to fit a need or a way of thinking/feeling.

I have got to burn the image of your interpretation out of my mind now.. . . .
MAN THAT IS GROSS.
