− | + | Basic tracking for [[Little Red Corvette]] took place at [[Prince]]’s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 20|20 May 1982]], marking the first 24-track recording on a newly installed Soundcraft console in his home recording studio. | |

According to her she first met [[Prince]] in 1976 and then again in 1979. She was a student at the University of Minnesota, locally known as 'Fancy Dancer' and thinks [[Sexy Dancer]] could also have been about her. [[Prince]] started dating her in January 1979. She lived in a duplex on Fuller Street in Saint Paul, MN and she had pictures of jockeys on her wall, among them Mike “Hercules” Weaver, whom at some point she also dated. [[Prince]] and her stopped seeing each other when she left Minnesota in 1980. |
+ | Although elements of this story might be true, [[Prince]] was known to draw inspiration from various people and memories. [[Lisa Coleman]] in 2019 interview said she thinks [[Prince]] came up with the song while in the back of her pink 1964 Mercury Montclair Marauder, making out with [[Vanity]]. | ||
