"Tutti Frutti" is an early rock and roll song by Little Richard. It has been covered by many musicians, most notably Pat Boone.
The song's lyrics are sexually evocative. Although its true meaning is considerably less well known than its tune and performance, the song's lyrics references homosexuality. The slang designation "fruit" as a male homosexual is commonly understood, although usage and familiarity are significantly lower than when the song was released. The derivative term "tutti frutti" is much less commonly connected to homosexuality.
However, anecdotally, the song's reference was reviewed and revised as a result. Its original chorus was modified to not include "Tutti frutti, loose booty".
