NONSENSE said: It's a song silly people. It's hysterical how people overreact to it.
![]() ![]() Your statement is definitely TRUE! Also people should be pleased that Prince actually is willing to share alot of his artistic work with the public.He must want to hear our input on many of his creations whether it is good or bad:) | |

^ yeah Prince has been ridiculed by fans and the media before.
still "Purple & Gold" remain the worst Prince penned song ever. The truth needs to be told, or else he might release another one just as bad.. haha. ![]() Purple ![]() ![]() ![]() Prince 4Ever. ![]() | |

Good grief. All this over a sports team fight song. Yeesh.
Is it bad ...yeah but name a fight song that is good. I think I once heard one for Pittsburg or either Cleveland that was just as eyeroll worthy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmm...interesting.
The subject matter is a bit corny,football?!! Is it really worthy of those lyrics?? And im not sure the core audience of footy fans will appreciate it, as its a bit falsetto fr them, but in some ways its a case of pearls before the swine. If it wasnt about footy it would probably be pretty good. A song for Haiti would have been more appropriate though i guess. It does grow on you though, it reminds me a bit of the 1994/5/6 NPG era, it sounds a bit Girl 6 ish to me. Like the female vocals too - Bria?!?! Oh well, at least Prince keeps us guessing, no-one would have predicted this, glad he never fails to surprise us! [Edited 1/25/10 13:08pm] [Edited 1/25/10 13:09pm] | |

I LOVE Purple & Gold for three simple reasons:
1) It's crazy. No-one would have predicted Prince would release anything like it. If you want nice songs by a predictable act, buy a Coldplay album. 2) Prince is a global artist. Releasing a local song about a football team shows that he has bigger cajones than anyone. 3) I have been singing it since first listen. And if it had been a 1983 b-side, it would be considered a 'hidden gem' classic by now. Love it! Somewhere Here On Earth | |

[Edited 1/25/10 16:34pm] The lyrics are the true killer on this song. they are sooooo bad. Everyone either defends or excuse it because it is a "fight song" but it's still Prince and frankly I DO hold him to a different standard with his music. Otherwise I had a lot of choices of music to listen to. Once Prince came out in the late 70s i HAD no choice!! lol. Now I'm back to plenty of choices. | |

Too many snobby Prince fans who expected some fist pumping shit Oh, and by the way, some other band/artist could take those lyrics, redo the song, etc.... Mr. Goodnight, anyone? | |

You all are crackin' me up sooo much!
To me it's interesting.. but it's like if I were having a dream, where in my head all the wrong things got mashed up.. like weird Parade outtakes, the opening bit from "the Black Parade", the ending of "3 Chains of Gold".. and a football game. It's just strange. But it didn't make me do the WTF reaction I had to "Wedding Feast". Whatever happened to Tony M anyways now that you mention it? I just know somehow he's responsible. LOL | |
