Inspiration for this song came from [[Susannah Melvoin|Susannah]] and [[Wendy Melvoin]], as [[Prince]] overheard their conversation about vain girls who constantly flip their hair while having a conversation with someone. The song makes an analogy between a shallow girl and an eggplant, presumably the opposite of an egghead (an intellectual). The song is sung as an advise to a friend. Horns overdubs were done to the second instrumental half of the song. | Inspiration for this song came from [[Susannah Melvoin|Susannah]] and [[Wendy Melvoin]], as [[Prince]] overheard their conversation about vain girls who constantly flip their hair while having a conversation with someone.

So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track. |
