It was the lead single from Prince & the Revolution’s 1985 album Around the World in a Day. The song reached #2 on the Billboard chart, making it one of Prince’s highest-charting songs. The sound of the song expanded upon previous Prince arrangements, incorporating stringed instruments, Middle Eastern finger cymbals and a harmonica in the extended version. The video for the song was filmed on June 5, 1985 in Los Angeles. It was directed primarily by Prince, with animation created by Colossal Pictures co-founder Drew Takahashi. It combines footage of Prince & The Revolution performing the song surrounded by dancers and overlaid with various animations. According to 333Sound, Prince’s coughing fit at the beginning of the Raspberry Beret video was widely debated. As his jokes and euphemisms were well known, many jumped on the unusual cough, wondering what it could possibly mean. It was said that the coughing added a certain funkiness to the video and Prince later admitted, “I just did it to be sick, to do something no one else would do.” Link to OfficialVideoTHE SHOW:Our show is completely improvised and produced by Douglas Sarine, Marypat Farrell and Sarah Atwood Sarine.Our theme song was produced by the wonderful Ben Wise. benwise.bandcamp.comAdditional music provided by IcarusPlease rate and review the show on iTunes.
