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.

You Americans sure have some fruity football songs.

I thought they were Vikings not Choir Boys.

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".

Do you know how it compares with existing Vikings fight songs(Skol Vikings is one according to Wiki)?

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

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?

Time to regift.
Are you really that arrogant to not let people have their opinion? Or are you a diehard Prince fan that wants everyone to conform to your opinion? Maybe you're the Pat Robertson of Prince music.
lol

This thread is hilarious. It's an online B-movie that only a guy like Prince could direct.

It's got high drama.
It's got suspension of disbelief.
It's got insane people.
It's got sycophantic, loving fams.
It's got delatorial, "Is that it?"-fans.
It's got music of sorts.
It's got Vikings and throw away mentions of Greek mythology.

It just lacks sex, and this thread is everything one would ever need to know about the .org.

Oh and the song? .... erhm ....

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.

Don't drag the Bears into this shitheap. They have enough problems as it is.

Bear Down is a march, not a lullaby.

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.

Sounds like an old Negro spiritual gone bad.

Surprised by the borderline blasphemy of the lyrics though--comparing the Vikings to Jesus; and their game as the Second Coming.

Hope it's not a sign of things to come--because it shows how formal religion has completely dominated his lyrical & musical imagination. And not in a good way.

ThreadBare	I was expecting something with a little more energy. The instrumentation is blah, but it's just a template or demo. It probably will sound better when played by a full marching band. As sports fight songs go, it's barely average. I'd have loved to hear his attempt at something like this in 1985, long before his more recent descent into jewelry store radio jinglery. Flame me.

yeah, this song sucks

i prefer the good old "skol vikings"

but he didnt put much effort into this and it isnt meant to be taken very seriously.

it seems like the same people are always waiting for the next moment to jump out of the woodwork and start complaining about prince.

get over it.

im just glad that he is representing the home team

go vikes.

At least it has a chance of being heard by the masses!!

That is NOT a good thing. This is the most embarrassed I've ever been to be a Prince fan.
