Turn that dirty little man off. I don't care what it's about, I know it's dirty - My mother

 

inspired by my poorly received comment in this thread and the fact ATRLers don't know much about Prince

Since Raspberry Beret was released people have been trying to uncover it's hidden meaning, if it even has one. this is one theory from a Prince fan

Raspberry Beret-Meaning?

Ok...I always knew and loved the song Raspberry Beret, probably the most played Prince song on the radio.....but I'm curious, what's the Raspberry Beret Prince was referring to? According to the Urban Dictionary, a Raspberry beret is "the act of eating-out a womans ass while she menstruates onto your forehead" OR "A menstruating woman's equivilent to a mushroom stamping, in which she drops trou' and rubs her bloody cooch on a bald mans head, or a full haired mans forehead, thus endowing him with a thin red, yet jauntily worn raspberry chapeaux." eek eek eek

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her



I'm not entirely sure what Prince is talking about. Does he mean the girl is wearing a red beret or she's wearing what the Urban dictionary's talking about, or...she gave him one

So ATRL, what do you think the song is about?

 

Sex with a prostitute?

Sex with a trans woman?

Anal sex?

Sex involving menstrual blood?

 

Something else?

 

Or is it just a song about a woman wearing a Raspberry Beret?

One, two
One, two, three, uh
Yeah
I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Built like she was
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't too bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks
She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star
Listen
They say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn't change a stroke
'Cause baby, I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then, oh, oh yeah
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store (the kind you find)
Raspberry beret
If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I, I think I, I think I love her
Raspberry beret
(No, no, no)
The kind you find in a second hand store (no, no, no)
Raspberry beret
(Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?)
If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret

It's literally about banging/losing his virginity to a hot girl who walked into the dollar store he worked at
