Alledgedly
There was a mistranlastion in a fax from Japan to America
It should have been 'Monkey Kong' but came out 'Donkey Kong'
And by the time they'd realised, they'd already printed all the stuff. Or something. So kept it.

that's like that Bond Film "Tomorrow Never Dies"

Well that must've happened before they recorded the theme tune, too.
Would've thought they could change it before that point.

Funny old thing language
Mitsubishi named their cars after horses (like the Palomino) till they made the Starion. It was supposedly at the launch party for the car when they did the big reveal of the car and its name, when someone said "there is no R in Starion"
