I'm listening to "Little Red Corvette"...

Don't get me wrong, I still love Prince as much as ever. But these lyrics are ridiculous.

Actually I love Little Red Corvette

The Lyrics are very metaphorical. [[not sure if I use the word right]]

Songs mainly about a girl who is basically a whore....

I agree. this is my all time favorite songs. I loved the way he used the metaphors. He used it so well that when I was young I didn't realize what the song was about until I got older. This is classic Prince all way.

only ridiculous if you don't understand them, may be the cleverest he ever wrote, snuck them onto 80's radio didn't he. The song is a perfect pop song. The most perfect i've ever heard.

One of my favorites as well! It's only ridiculous if you are listening to the lyrics from a realistic rather than a metaphorical point of view. I've always been impressed with his use of metaphor in many of his songs.

Exactly,if he said it realisticly it wouldve went more like this

"Whore bag, your having way too much sex, you need to fall in love and settle down" so I would have to say the original lyrics are indeed better.

I thought they were some of his best/most clever lyrics. This was all about metaphors.

Would you rather the lyrics for the R.Kelly song,

"You Remind Me Of Something".

"You remind me of my jeep, I wanna ride it."

"Something like my sound, I wanna pump it."


Now, those are some silly lyrics!!!
"Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth"

Sending aonther impression for what has always caused many, many to be with attitude; I was or am an interest for good music, it was that song which caused me to only have a personal but sharing; a great musicgian; Artistic'c - Prince!
The years of 80's had been with little or very few; "Little Red Corvette" had been of my enjoyment; as of today; I am without such but enjoy hear, ( prince.org - forums ); the writtings or expression is very within for thanking you all... Newb!
