well... i guess if he wanted to write a song that nobody would sample, he has certainly succeeded.

Die Hard Prince Fan, he can do no wrong, until now lol. I respect his loyalty being from here and all, but ya boy was born and raised in Champaign Illinois!!! GO BEARS!!!

lol

10 mins since i heard it-still in shock


THIS IS SOOOOO PAINFULLY BAD

man no wonder he stiffed us on Lotus if songs like this are his retirement plan

Sorry Prince but that's awful.

It sounds like the national anthem of a small baltic country

A better title would have been "Cultural Learnings of American Football for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Minneapolis"

lol

mabey he wrote it with Borat

It's truly terrible.

sign up 4 year 2 of LetusFUover.con folks

and you'll end up with a whole album of 'new' Prince songs just like this amazing track

he might even play it live to you n your friends in your own living room

if you pay

now hurry folks-can't keep them heavy vault doors open for long now

pay pay pay

Would somebody please sue the modern day Prince for defamation of the 80's Prince's character. Somebody. ANYBODY.

shhhhh

they'll say we're not 'REAL' fans

To be fair, we really shouldn't call it torture to listen to it.




I think 'Enhanced Interrogation Methods" is sufficient.

It just sounds so silly that I can't even hate the thing.

I'm just a bit worried about the reaction he is going to get from the supporters of the team. Obviously he has gotten his stuff associated with the team only because of his own status as a"musical legend". Just about anyone else could have pulled off something better. Furthermore, when he offers a song of this type for such a purpose he seems almost delusional (maybe he should have offered them a remake of Graffiti Bridge instead). Nothing new in that sense though, but it still just throws you off a bit.

co-

This is my new alltime favorite thread.

Purple Gold

It's a gift to the Vikings, or?

It was made out of inspiration and support, or?

It's an anthem for their game on sunday, right?

A little piece of support...

And now look at the Feedback, judges everywhere...if you don't get the spirit why this was made, why don't you stay put and leave your comment blank?

It is not a single and it is not, I heard nothing else, to rally up the charts. That is not the intention of it.

If the ones who got the gift like it, why are so many bashing it right away and moreso bashing the giver at the same time...how nice.

You get a gift and don't like it, well would you spit in the face of the giver?

What the fuck is this "Purple & Gold"?

it's even worse than Wedding Feast, and the Graffiti Bridge song

A lot of posters on this forum would spit in the giver's face. That´s how "classy" they are.

^ i'm not spitting on anyone

The truth needs to be told, this "anthem" is truly baaad

How you can you overlook how utterly shit the song is though? It's not a gift, it's just a crap song that many fans of the artist find hilarious in its awfulness. He's had good songs but this isn't one of them. Why do you feel the need to tell people how they should or shouldn't react to a song? Or how they should post, or rather refrain from posting simply because they don't like a track? Absurd.

Giving a terrible gift isn't that nice either.

People would expect you to at least put some thought to it, so the analogy works that way too.

As a fan it saddens me to find that this is not a good song at all

But Prince is a man of extremes and I know that after this, he´s gonna come up with the best album ever.

Wedding Feast + Graffiti Bridge =


Ladies and Gentlemen, with the start of 2010 comes a whole new low in Prince music, the rock bottom. Making Hot Wit' U, Life O' The Party and Incense & Candles look like ageless masterpieces.

It's going to take something REALLY special to beat this. WOW

1. I read the lyrics. I laughed. Hard.
2. I heard the song. I laughed. Hard.
3. I went back, listened to other team's fight songs, and totally see what Prince is trying to do.
4. Despite this, I still laugh.

When you judge it as a football song instead of a "Prince song", it's not that bad..he wasn't trying to do another hit, just a fight song for Vikings.

I can see this site is made up of many, many non-football playing, non-football-watching, non-living-in-an-NFL-city, non-BCS-college-attended, can't-find-ESPN-if-their-life-depended-on-it funkateers.

That's cool.

This is an anthem. It's not the greatest "fight song" (your words, not Prince's) ever written, but it's in exactly the same vein as "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" or "All Hail the Redskins".

The only thing any true Vikings fan would change about this is having it delivered a week earlier, so that it could have been played during a Vikings home game. Obviously, this isn't going to be played at New Orleans over the weekend.

This song will still be played at Vikings game fifty years from now. Deal with it.
