Sad to say... but I agree.

To quote Purple Rain... "He better kick ass on his next album or else!"

I don't think that is said anywhere in Purple Rain

Jakeasaurus said:

What was said in Purple Rain to Prince by the manager at First Avenue was ... "Morris is squeezin' ya kiddo. You better kick ass tomorrow night or else."

I was paraphrasing.

I'll say it again. Prince better kick ass on his next album, or else he may never never be taken seriously in the mainstream as an artist again. This may cause irreparable damage.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, but this is what I believe to a large extent.

Either that... or the Vikings better win the Super Bowl and blast this piece of shit LOUD!!

I'm just going to be blunt:: The fact that Prince SERIOUSLY put this out as a legit song of any kind is telling me quite clearly that he should retire.

It's complete garbage. (And that's being kind.)

Jesus Christ, you people are takng this way too seriously!!!

It's not that big a deal.

It looks like Purple & Gold is taken from his forthcoming album!...

Here's the full tracklist:
Go Vikings!
Lord Give Me The Ball
Place Kick Da Funk
C U In Valhalla
Purple & Gold
Touchdown Below
Playin' 2 Win
Our Helmets Are Purple
March Of The Vikings

The instrumentation reminds me of old traditional vikings on a quest,
making me think of VIKING moreso.

People were expecting traditional Funky Prince,
but it's not about Prince.


He made this song with a VIKINGS theme in mind, that's all.

to be honest though, no matter how bad this song is, i am beginning
to be more and more offended by the fact that he's releasing songs,
well actually more giving than releasing, songs like this one and the
remake of "large room with no light" to websites/organisations when
he's got a subscription website that's been basically dead in the water
for about a year now.

actions like these just make that site feel like an extra slap to the
face. his logic is all twisted these days.

Before listening to it I was reading these comments and thinking "C'mon, it's the master Prince, how can I make something that bad?". And I listened to it, and yeah... It's terrible! What was Prince thinking? The song sucks! Couldn't he have done something better? I mean it's slow and churcy and in falsetto. How could it be a fight song? I think it would of been nice if he did something like "My name is Prince".

Okay maybe somebody else on this thread already said this (Lord knows I haven't gone back and read all 3000 comments) but consider this, purple people.

Prince is a freaking genius.

Okay, the song is crap. True enough. But Prince is the number 5 most searched thing on Yahoo right now. And there are articles on CBS.com, ESPN.com, Billboard.Com, etc. Various Vikings are singing his praises. My local sports talk show spent a good 40 minutes discussing the song today. Prince has somehow got himself back on the cultural radar just by writing a freaking syrupy fight song. That, ladies and gentlemen, is brilliant.

Prince has got to know in his heart of hearts that this song is not the second coming of "Purple Rain". But at various times in his career he has known exactly the right moment to reappear and exactly the way to do it.

That is why most of us are still here. You just never know what the dude is going to do next.

[/sarcasm] OMG Prince u are so stupid u made a bad fight song for the vikings this is so emberassing, it souns like a stoopid hymn[/sarcasm-off]

Apparently Prince fans are not aware of him being a JW and being a very religious person today. The way he created this song was as intended. I'm not sure what people expected to hear. People really need to separate today's Prince from who was in the past. He has changed musically and Ideally.

There should be a new section of these forums called "80's&90's Prince Discussion" for people who constantly attack his modern stuff.

I very much enjoy Prince today, if you don't that's fine but go punch a pillow or something instead of coming here ONLY to say negative things about him.

Yeah I agree with you IstenSzek, I was saying that this section would be for certain people not me..read my whole post, I said I like Prince's music today.

There is nothing about the production on this that is stunning. It sounds like a cheap casio demo. Listen to the horns, man. Let's not forget to mention the cheesy vocal lines and awful lyrics.
