It was the big hit maker for Prince in 1983. His previous attempts at rising to the top of the charts were not so successful. However, when Little Red Corvette started getting airplay, Prince knew he had finally made it as an artist. The song is quite racy and it has all sorts of veiled sexual innuendos. However, they are not blatant, and many people don’t even pick up on the real story behind the lyrics. Prince was clever in that he kept the heavy sexual references under wraps, and ended up with an enjoyable song that was played on the air and on music television.
