Interesting facts and trivia about Bambi. By Songfacts®.

Prince usually gets the girl in his songs, but here he has met his match: he's trying to get a woman to love him even though she is a lesbian.

"Bambi" is a track from the second Prince album, titled Prince and released when he was 21. He had an unusual record deal with Warner Bros. giving him complete control of his creative output, so he was free to write songs on any subject and know they'd get released. Prince got solid airplay with the first single from the album, "I Wanna Be Your Lover," but his commercial breakthrough didn't come until 1982 when he issued his fifth album, 1999.

T.C. Ellis recorded a rap version of this song on his first (and only) album, True Confessions, in 1991. It was released through Prince's Paisley Park Records label.
