Little Red Corvette

Little Red Corvette

"Little Red Corvette" is a song by American recording artist Prince. The song combines a Linn LM-1 beat and slow synth buildup with a rock chorus, over which Prince, using several automobile metaphors, recalls a one-night stand with a beautiful promiscuous woman. Backing vocals were performed by Lisa Coleman and Dez Dickerson; Dickerson also performs a guitar solo on the song.

Corvette

A corvette is a small warship. It is traditionally the smallest class of vessel considered to be rated a warship. The warship class above the corvette is that of the frigate, while the class below was historically that of the sloop-of-war.
