OK, to be fair the OP and Funkenberry dubbed it a "Fight" song. The story on the song calls it just that a "song" for the Vikings.
This is more like a School Hymn, except that the Vikings are a pro team. I'm so confused... Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

This is more like a School Hymn, except that the Vikings are a pro team. I'm so confused... It's always seemed to me that the two terms are interchangeable. Certainly they were at my University, and it always appeared to be the case elsewhere. | |

This is more like a School Hymn, except that the Vikings are a pro team. I'm so confused... It reminds me of our school song... "Earlington Heights we looooove you, love your very naaaame, may we by our deeds of honor always bring you faaaame!" Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

We had 3 school songs, but especially in the Big 10, schools have marches for their fight songs, something to get the people up out of their seats.

The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

LOL (first time ever, I've typed that, but it's true).
I just spotted the news item for this on the homepage. How I would love see the faces of folks coming racing in here having read that description. | |

They've printed out the lyrics. So did someone else a couple responses up!

And the bit about chariots sounds like he got his Vikings mixed up with his Greek mythology. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

I like it.
"Purple and Gold" is in the tradition of a spirit and team alma mater. It sounds to me as a song that would be played in Victory. If the Vikings go all the way to the Super Bowl and win, this would be the song heard around the sports world with fans singing and celebrating in unity at the games end. I like the kind, sweet and proud type feel and spirit to the music. It shows another dimension to Prince and his music. I really want to hear a full high quality version of the song! The instruments and arrangement are interesting. I dig it!  Dad. Cartoonist. Illustrator. TOPPS Star Wars and Walking Dead Illustrator. Film Illustrator. JEDI. PRINCE Fan. www.theartofprince.com

This is just plain BAD! I love the man and always will but come on! Where are your priorities? Um maybe you haven't heard? Haiti could kind of use everyones help. I think most of us could do with out the vikings song. Think about how much he could help if he released a single or even had a show with all proceeds going to help Haiti. Just my opinion..... | |

I think Prince should have done it this way.
To the tune of "GUITAR" Gettin' older, hair turnin' grey Retired from a team that plays in Green Bay He got the call so he jumped in his car We love you Packers..... But not like we love our BRETT FAVRE! Peterson couldn't do it himself They had to go and get somebody else They called number 4 cuz they know he's a star We love the Vikings... But not like we love our BRETT FAVRE Sanchez we warned you it's hard to be star Barely old enough to drive your own car You got a good arm boy, it took you pretty far We love you Marky... But not like we love our BRETT FAVRE The Saints are good, I'm not gonna pretend But their QB's hair is startin' to thin The Superbowl? Nah, they won't get that far We love New Orleans..... But not like we love our BRETT FAVRE We love you Peyton, and we wish you well Play when you're 40, that's hard to tell Until that day you've got Sony's to sell We love you Manning... But not like we love our BRETT FAVRE

I read all this expecting the worst thing ever. But, after listening, i find it's CLEAR Prince is throwing back to the hymns of old, a classic war hymn. Its like wedding feast, you bug about it's awfulness when it's again, clearly tongue in cheek. This is the same, a short supportive fight hymn of old. Nothing more. Not a new song. Do i like it? No, why would i? it's not a new song but, i see it for what it is, no problem. And if anything...its taking Prince's diversity even further, don't you think?...anything he can't do? I can't believe how much people have missed the point. But, it's easier to rip on him eh? On a side note, i remember reading that some people here wanted him to do a kid type album full of kid style melodies and shock everyone and get them all wind up....coincidence???

it's like the most boring hymn ever with a bad karaoke track...
i actually think a tony m rap would only improve this song. [Edited 1/21/10 20:58pm] Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |
