abstract	%22Raspberry Beret%22 is a chart-topping hit song by Prince and The Revolution.It was the first U.S. (and second UK) single from their 1985 album, Around the World in a Day. The sound was different from any previous Prince track, incorporating Middle Eastern finger cymbals, stringed instruments, and even a harmonica on the extended version. The song was also more in the pop vein than ever before, though the 12-inch single and video of the song feature a funky intro. Although the song was originally recorded in 1982, Prince drastically reworked it with The Revolution to give it more of an international sound. The string section was: Novi Novog on violin, Suzie Katayama and David Coleman on cello. Wendy & Lisa composed and conducted the strings on Raspberry Beret and provided backing vocals. The rest of the song was performed by Prince.The song tells of a teenage romance and first sexual experience with a girl who wears the titular hat. The video for the song was Prince's first since his short-lived %22ban%22 on music videos, and was directed primarily by himself, with animation created by Colossal Pictures co-founder Drew Takahashi. The song quickly became a fan favorite, and a staple in nearly every Prince tour. The extended version was included on Ultimate in 2006. While this song hit #1 in Cash Box and reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, only behind %22A View to a Kill%22 by Duran Duran, it only reached #25 on the UK Singles Chart.The US B-side, %22She's Always in My Hair%22, is a rock and roll number, with guitar and organs and emotional lyrics screamed toward the end. The song would finally be performed live for the first time in 1993. This song is also said to be about Susan Moonsie of Vanity 6, but a glimpse of Prince's feelings towards the end of their relationship. %22She's Always in My Hair%22 is actually about background singer and protégé Jill Jones, while %22Private Joy%22 from Controversy is about Moonsie.The UK B-side was %22Hello%22, which was included on the US release of %22Pop Life%22.The 12%22 version has an incorrect time listing on the label. It is listed as 7:25, when the actual length of the song is 6:35.
