RubyButterfly said: 2elijah said: Exactly, I don't see this particular song as a fight song, it was the op that labeled it as one, so I believe that is what everyone expected. I didn't see an article where it stated Prince said it was a fight song, just that he wrote a song for the team as a gift, which to me looks more like he was creating an anthem for the team. Robyne Robinson, a KMSP newsanchor who has known Prince personally for a long time, called it a "fight song" multiple times on her Twitter, where she was hyping last night's snippet. People expected to hear a fight song because that's what it was being hyped as. 
Robyne's Twitter: http://twitter.com/robynempls Okay, well that answers the question. Thanks. [Edited 1/22/10 7:15am] | |

Unlike so many of the "fams" Didnt get the idea its supposed 2 b the new dance single ppl!!! WTF? [Edited 1/22/10 7:12am] [Edited 1/22/10 7:13am] The song doesn't suck because it's a bad fight song. Nor does it not suck because it was well intended. The song sucks because it's a bad song. That's all. | |

As a reader on Twitter pointed out, it's eerily similar to the time Ross unveiled his "music" on Friends. [Edited 1/22/10 7:28am] Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

I HEARD A PIECE OF THE SONG ON 98.7 KISS FM IN NEW YORK, THEY DOGGED THE SONG AND SAID IT WAS HORRIBLE.I DO NOT WANT TO REALLY JUDGE THE SONG CUZ THEY ONLY PLAYED A PIECE BUT IF THE WHOLE SONG IS LIKE WHAT I HEARD THAN THE SONG IS AWFUL AND IT IS NOT A MOVIVATING SONG FOR THE VIKINGS. | |

Number23 said: However, the so-called lyrical 'blasphemy' regarding the Jesus analogy is no different to what he's being doing since Controversy, so fuck off with that.
Indeed, but the rebel/envelope pusher who recorded "Controversy" is quite different than the saved dogmatic who did this one. This is the same guy who, right after recording "I'm your messiah and youre the reason why" (I Would Die 4 U) or "I think you better close it and let me guide you" (Purple Rain), consistently performs these as "He's your messiah..." and "close it, and let Him guide you" (sometimes with an "open up a Bible" thrown in). So, in that context, it IS surprising that he would use such clear Jesus-is-coming language to convey the Minnesota Vikings-are-coming. "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

Amazing isn't it? That these same stations won't play new/current songs from his last cds released (3121 and Lotusflow3r), but will play his classics instead, Yet look how quickly they wasted no time playing the snippet to this new song for the Vikings just to make fun of it. Would be nice if they jumped that quick to play his recently, released cds.Interesting. | |

Sounds like a high school fight song. | |

The general public has a funny, if vague idea of who Prince is. I think has a master plan to remain an enigma if not an object of ridicule. With stuff like this, his plan would be working like a charm. | |

get that man a Producer NOW! lol. I think we need to pray that this is the intro to a true fight song, i just cannot believe that the rest of it will be that bad. By the way, if P puts stuff out in the public domain he has just as much right to be criticised as well as praised. Therefore , so fa this is a awful BUT lets hope the rest is something like we imagined it would be. | |

I've been taking shit from people all morning at work who know I like Prince who saw the story on the news last night or listened to virtually every morning show in the Twin Cities who just shredded him this morning. |

I didn't know Prince could water ski.
OK. I made it through that Happy Feet song with my dignity intact, but I just may now burn my Paisley Fan Card. This is absolutely abysmal. I'm embarrassed for Prince. I'm embarrassed for the Vikings. I'm embarrassed for the org. I'm embarrassed for all Prince fans in general. I'm embarrassed for me. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

After wining everyone over with his awesome Superbowl performance, as well as his Coachella and other performances, he needed to "Graffiti Bridge" things down a bit. "Slave" it down. He thrives on being a "WTF" kind of artist. Despite having one the the greatest Superbowl halftime shows ever, the NFL isn't going to be asking him back anytime soon after this crap. The fans would him shred to pieces. lol [Edited 1/22/10 7:56am] | |

It's a hymn. I don't think the sat down to write a barn burner and came up with this. He was inspired to pen a "high school" type of anthem. It is what it is, a nice, spontaneous gesture inspired by his hometown team. It's not a career move. | |

People who hate this song sound like the same people who trashed "Around The World in A Day" years ago. The responses to it are similiar. Prince has lost it, lost his mind, needs a producer etc. I actually like the song it's different & cool. Here's to hoping the Vikings pull off a victory for his efforts. | |
