[edit] Trivia/Info

  • In the instrumental bridge, the Morse code in the background translates to "Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores," which is a line from the traditional Spanish song "Cielito Lindo." In English, that would be "Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don't cry."
  • This song's title is a parody of the title of Prince's "Purple Rain", popular around the time of the writing of this song.
  • This song was played over a slow-mo fight scene in the first episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
