Patrick moved to California in 1992, where she met Prince while auditioning for an all-girl rap group. Prince persuaded her to change her name to Carmen Electra and instead record a solo album. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince's company Paisley Park Records, marking the start of a short-lived singing career. In 1999, Carmen released her rare sophomore album "C-17 (Carmen And The One Seven Album). She has since recorded more singles but none have been officially released.
In 1995, Electra started appearing in various television programs. Then, in May of 1996 she was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including Baywatch (cast member from 1997-1998) and MTV's Singled Out. She returned to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.
Electra became so popular among readers of Playboy that she was featured in the magazine three more times, with her second appearance in June 1997. She subsequently graced the cover twice, in December 2000 and April 2003. In the Playboy Cyber Club, she was the first woman invited to be a celebrity guest photographer; she chose Playmate Jennifer Walcott as her subject model.
Electra has appeared in several films, such as Good Burger (1997), The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (1999), the horror spoof Scary Movie (2000) and also appeared in Scary Movie 4 (2006), Epic Movie (2007), Date Movie (2006), the remake of the 1970s TV show Starsky & Hutch (2004) and Cheaper by the Dozen 2. She won an MTV Movie Award (best kiss) for Starsky & Hutch.
In 1999, she appeared in the Bloodhound Gang's music video of "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope." In 2005, she joined the voice cast of the animated series Tripping the Rift, replacing Gina Gershon as the voice of the sexy android "Six". Also in 2005, she began the Naked Women's Wrestling League, acting as the commissioner for the professional wrestling promotion. In late 2006, Carmen began to be featured in commercials by Taco Bell. In 2010, Electra will appear in the upcoming Vampire spoof film, "Vampire Suck" to be released, on August 18th, 2010.
Just A Little Lovin'
Carmen Electra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Tasty)
(Let me)
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Mmm, mmm
Flavors, so many flavors 2 choose from
So as I think slowly and try 2 decide
Out of all the lovely treats, just which one am I?
It's hard 2 say 'cause I'm a special blend
People will try 2 put me in
A category 4 which there is no room 4 expansion
Don't you see that move is doubtful?
Because the fruit is bountiful
Turn me over slowly and I guarantee a mouthful
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Easy does it, take your time
Tasty, now you know the meaning of the line
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
And now that you've had a taste, could you waste a dropful?
Of a nectar so sweet guaranteed 2 keep you youthful
A hot tasty hors d'oeuvre
Or better yet, what would you prefer?
Hot fudge over ice cream topped with whipped cream?
Passion is in the fruit and I can't stand it
If it could be bottled, people would be demanding it
And that would be just 2 scandalous
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
So as I simmer basted with a touch of honey 2 give me a glimmer
Or should I say shimmer of sweetness
Pound 4 pound I can see no weakness
(Oh glory) Glory 2 the Father
If you think you're praising me then don't even bother
Excuse me, I don't think they heard me
Turn it up a little louder
Cool, here we go
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Hmm, I'm feelin' effervescent, refreshed, lively
Never mind, girlfriend over there who despises me
She doesn't even know my name
That's OK, you should have an attitude when you play this game
These days it's very hard 2 be chosen
'Cause most of us try 2 play like ice cubes frozen
But that'll get you nut n' honey
Guitar man, give me something yummy
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
So as the aromas fill the room
And the smell of sugar and cinnamon looms
Aromatic in its blend
And there's plenty 4 you 2 choose from on the menu my friends
So take your time
And every now and then try something different and you'll find
Variety is the spice of life that keeps it finger-lickin'
Ah, that wasn't no ordinary chicken
Ha, ha, ha, you better believe it
And at this moment I think it's time I release it
Peace (mmm)
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
(Let me kick it)
Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
