So you’re scratching your head and wondering what all these songs I’ve been posting are, right? That’s probably because you were too busy listening to THIS ONE to notice much else in 1983. Yes, this song is now 40. Holy cow.
Little Red Corvette - Prince
I don’t know which is harder to fathom: that this song is 40 years old, or that Prince died seven years ago.
And oh, these boys and their dirty car songs in the 80s. Next year will mark the 40th birthday of Bruce Springsteen’s “Pink Cadillac.” Of course, that one wasn’t as “obvious” as this one. 
Anyway, Prince could blend rock and funk quite well, and this is one of the prime examples of that.

@DWDavis — ah. 
How’s camping? There were tornado warnings in the Virginia/Tennessee/Kentucky border area last night.

@FourWalls I worded it poorly. It is one of my favorite Prince songs, but not #1. When Doves Cry is my favorite.

Oh, well, we’ll try again tomorrow (and you probably won’t remember it, either).

@wolfgirl569 — I joke about that, but in truth (a) I do use a lot of obscure songs (although this is one of Prince’s best-known tunes), and (b) I greatly appreciate people stopping by to say “hi” even if they don’t know, remember, or like the song.

As I tell most of the regular readers, bookmark this one to return to when I throw one of my “what the heck” musical curve balls later in the countdown.

@FourWalls When I was working, I would turn it way up and play it over and over again on New Year's Eve. I"m sure it was annoying. Good! They were a bunch of two-faced people anyway!

Ah, it's always fascinating to reflect on how time flies and the nostalgic songs that mark different eras. "Little Red Corvette" by Prince is indeed a classic that has stood the test of time. Its blend of rock and funk showcases Prince's musical versatility and talent. It's incredible to think that this song is now 40 years old, and the passing of Prince seven years ago was a great loss to the music world. The 80s did have its fair share of iconic car songs, and it's interesting to note the upcoming 40th birthday of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac." Music has a way of connecting us to different moments in our lives, and it's always enjoyable to reminisce and appreciate the artistry of these timeless tracks. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and musical insights!

It just seem like it’s been 40 years since I bought the 45 of this song!
