The new song "Blue Orchid" on the White Stripes sounds very "Purple" if you know what I mean. It sounds like an outtake from The Gold Experience. Do u think Jack White and Prince colaborated on it? One of the artists that worked on the album is only reffered to as "The Third Man", and that makes me think of the whole "Symbolic Three" thing from TGE. Could this be a reference to his Royal Badness? Listen to the song and tell me what you think...

I'd be surprised if they worked together, but it is very "purple".

My girlfriend said she'd heard this new song that she thought was Prince at first and it turned out to be Blue Orchid.

I thought that too when I heard the song.

There's also a track called Red Rain, get where I'm going?

Purple Rain, Red Rain - see the similarity?

the only similarity imo is the falsetto

Listen to that guitar riff and then listen to "Interactive"

well , actually i only heard it once while being half asleep

The Third Man is Orson Wells, silly! He worked on the art design from the grave. I wish Prince would do an album as lo-tech as Get Behind Me Satan!
