abstract
  • %22Little Red Corvette%22 is a song by the American musician Prince. Released as a single from the album 1999 in 1983, the song was his biggest hit at the time, and his first to reach the top 10 in the U.S., peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It was also his first single to perform better on the pop chart than the R&B chart, due to the pop/rock format of the song.The song combines a drum machine beat and slow synth buildup for the verses and a full rock chorus. Backing vocals were done by Lisa Coleman and the guitar solo was played by Dez Dickerson. In the song, Prince narrates a one-night stand with a beautiful but promiscuous woman (the %22Little Red Corvette%22 of the title); although he enjoys the experience, he urges her to %22slow down%22 and %22find a love that's gonna last%22 before she destroys herself. In addition to the title, he uses several other automobile metaphors, for example comparing their lovemaking to a ride in a limousine.A 12%22 dance remix of the song was released to accompany the single, and it continues where the album version fades out. The U.S. single was originally released with the album track %22All the Critics Love U in New York%22 as the B-side, while in the UK two separate single releases had it backed with %22Lady Cab Driver%22 or %22Horny Toad%22. Separate UK 12%22 releases had the song paired with %22Automatic%22 and %22International Lover%22, or %22Horny Toad%22 and %22D.M.S.R.%22. Later, it was released as a double A-side with %221999%22.The single was released with another 1999 track, %22Let's Pretend We're Married%22.On Prince's 2006 compilation album, Ultimate, the dance remix of %22Little Red Corvette%22 was a featured track.
