Dorothy Parker--Literary connection?

Is there a particular reason why Prince chose to name his song after the poet/writer Dorothy Parker? Has he ever spoken about this?

i seem to remember reading (in 'the vault' or 'dmsr', i'm sure) that he got the name from a dream, but that he probably dreamt it because susannah was reading a dorothy parker book around that time. shrug
