Why 'Bambi'?

Great song, I love the song, I'm not talking about that.

But why 'Bambi'? Why not Sandy (Grease, I know), Shandi (KISS, I know), Mandy (Barry Manilow, I know), or Candy, or something?

My point: do you think Prince might've been trying to grab headlines by messing around with a trademark of Disney, Inc.?

"Bambi" describes a certain look or type. You know, large eyes, wide face, innocent looking and new. Possibly even light hair.

Because Snow White didn't really flow with the rest of the lyrics.

Rumor has it, though, that he was originally gonna call it Mickey but ended up changing the tempo a bit, added the words "...you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey!" and left it in the vault for a bit until he found someone else to pass it on to.

The Disney character Bambi's father is "The Great Prince of the Forest".

I guess none of you have seen "Diamonds Are Forever", the James Bond movie. What a shame...
