You know, I came across this song via a Youtube fanvideo that edited "Bambi" to this song. Admittedly, it is one of my fave vids, but that was largely because I could not understand the lyrics hardly at all.
But having read your post and taken a look at the lyrics, I feel like Bambi & Thumper got played, so to speak.
The thing that I find jarring is that I learned of the fanvid in an article in the NY Times, and NOWHERE in the article did the author mention the meaning of the lyrics. He only focused on the marvel that Disney hadn't yet sued or delivered cease-and-desist papers. Because, of course, in a rap that's all about glorified masturbation, the only thing that might actually merit concern is the question of creative rights.

Anyway...very thought provoking post.
