6. Prince – Little Red Corvette
As one of the most influential artists in popular music in the last 30 years or so, Prince had many memorable hits. One of his first was a catchy tune called Little Red Corvette. Obviously, this is a song about the car. On the other car, little red Corvette is also a metaphor for a young, promiscuous girl.
They released the song and original video that features a red Corvette in the early days of MTV. It received much attention and a heavy rotation from the channel, making it a true 80’s classic.
