Been listening to the Undertaker version a lot recently. It's pretty rocking, I wish he would do some more straight up jamming like this even if was acoustic that would be just as sweet.

Been listening to Poorgoo a lot too, what a crazy song, awesome stuff though. Some of the lyrics seemed improvised sometimes, i wonder... wink

Guitar is off the chain...probably 'Darling Nikki''s protege' in a sense. Plus its cool that it's always a true story about a guy meeting a hot girl but she's only interested in girls. And I like how he mentioned that "they can only do the things that you do". Real true real true

I love that classic rock sound... dated? what isn't

love it live, Dez brought in that extra hard rock feel to some of the performances

This is one of those early "I'm coming out" but not really "coming out" songs, where Prince deliberately played with words.

The premise of the song is that Prince is courting a lesbian (or at least a bi-sexual woman) , but the subplot that's implied and never really fully realized is that he himself is bisexual.

Prince:
Bambi, can't u understand.
Bambie, it's better with a man!


There are so many other ways of expressing to above sentiments more clearly, but Prince relished sexually ambiguous remarks like this at the time. He continuously did this throughout the early part of his career in songs like Rock Hard in a Funky Place from The Black Album where you said, "I just hate 2 C an erection go to waste." lol

This always pisses people off when I say it, but Prince was definately at least implying a bi-sexual tendency in songs like Bambi. How does he know that it is better with a man? Could he have not said "It's better with this man?" or "I can do it better than they can?" There were so many other ways of being more specific about what he wanted to say, and trust me--Prince ain't no dumb cookie. He knew what he was doing with those lyrics. lol

So yeah, it's a pretty decent song, and certain falls in one of his coming-out-but-not-really-coming-out categories. lol

Bambi Lyrics
Artist: Prince (Buy Prince CDs)
Album: Prince


I knew from the start
That I loved you with all my heart
But you were untrue.
You had another lover and she looked just like you
Bambi, can't you understand?
Bambi, it's better with a man

It's so hard to believe
Maybe it's because you're so young
Or maybe I'm just too naive
Who's to say, maybe you're really having fun

Bambi, can't you understand?
Bambi, it's better with a man

All your lovers--they look just like you
But they can only do the things that you do
Come on, baby, and take me by the hand
I'm gonna show what it's like to be loved by a man

Bambi, I know what you need
Bambi, maybe you need to bleed

Yeah!
