I've looked at all the other threads and noone knows what it means!
They just think it's probably some 60s psycodelic trip but I doubt Prince would be into that!

Tommy James constructed this slice of psychedelia from his favorite color and his favorite flower.

Wapedia: http://wapedia.mobi/en/Cr...and_Clover

"Crimson and Clover" is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells. It was one of the biggest hits of the 1960s and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in Canada in 1969. It dropped from #18 to completely out of the Billboard pop charts in one week, setting a record for the furthest drop out of the charts. [2]

"Crimson and Clover" was completely written and recorded by the duo of Tommy James and Peter Lucia Jr., the Shondells drummer. Lucia played drums and delivered backing vocals, while James played all other instruments and sang the lead vocals.

The song is famous for a unique "wobbly" vocal effect near the end of the song. To produce this effect, Tommy James plugged his microphone into a guitar amplifier, flipped the tremolo switch, and repeatedly sang the line "crimson and clover, over and over". When it was released in November 1968, some listeners thought he was saying "Christmas is over" instead of "crimson and clover."

This song is so pretty...I love it.
Only the latter part with the guitar, I wish it was less treble/high, makes it a little hard to keep it as a bar de-luxe track.
