dv999	in addition to greatness of the song itself, i think it compliments his more famous synth pop side of his music as his harder rock and guitar riff based work seems to be overlooked.

in a way its maybe a good thing...its a hidden gem for us true fans to experience, and its a great song to whip out just to show off prince's class to any non-believers.

Wouldn't you love to love me?

similarly, i've tended to neglect 'For You' and the other day i was listening to 'Im Yours', the guitar on that is pretty damn good, Prince should resurrect this a la 'Bambi'.

Dayclear	I love the live version. I guess like so much of his stuff a lot of folks just don't get it!

I really love the song "Bambi" and the lyrics are outdated.

Yeah! I've always wanted a remake of I'm Yours since I heard the new Bambi in 1990 on the Nude Tour.

The other remake I love is Sister on the Lovesexy show.

I still think its hilarious that he did Bambi as one of the songs he performed on the Ellen show! Ha, ha! He's such a cheeky little sod!!! Not surprisingly this track was cut from the aired show!!!!

Haven't you ever heard the outtake "Dumbo"?
Those lyrics are even more dated.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!
