Captain Obvious is born!

I am 35. I was 10 or 11 when I first received 1999 by Prince (on cassette, no less) for Christmas. Outside of hearing "fuck" in a song for the first time and becoming a groovy little Prince fan, I never thought much about the song Little Red Corvette. Until last week. I loaded up the car cd player and listened to his old stuff. While I listened to the song it dawned on me...like clouds parting from my sky...what he was actually singing about. Vagina. Not unlike Ring Of Fire (which according to Johnny Cash's first wife is about that very orifice), Little Red Corvette is about vagina, pussy, bajingo, hoo haa, etc.

Judge for yourself.



Okay, she parks her car sideways. Like maybe up and down. Get it, huh, huh? Next, vaginas, in a universal sense are "little" and to a certain degree (your color may vary) "red", yes? We all know the line about Trojans and what that means and yeah, maybe you can assume he's fucking this chick in an actual corvette (he is a small guy), but when she "drives" him to the place where her "horses run free", she's basically driving him to Jordachetown. And to think, I can remember Casey Kasem talking about songs with cars in the titles way back in 1982 during America's Top 40 instead of instructing this gentle, toe-headed young lad that this song was, in fact, filthy.

Just plain filthy.
