what.....?????

this shitty new song has nothing to do with the classic ATWIAD album.

I wonder why you say and believe that.

OMG, WTF is that?!?!?!? I actually cringed while listening to it

I'm embarrassed for him.

This song was a big topic on the Jim Rome show today. In fact, Rome spent 15 minutes alternately praising Prince as a genius but raking the song over the coals. And of course, the clones were 100% against the song.

But by the end of the show, after playing it on half the breaks, Rome said it had grown on him and now he likes it.

I do believe I heard a similar song at the renaissance faire!
(yes, I have been there).
This is simply weird!

Jakeasaurus said:

Yeah, maybe. But what do I have to do to get the SONG locked????

what baffles me is pepole comparing this song to funky songs.
this is not and wasnt meant to be a funk/rock/r&b/pop song.
bunch a morons up in here

Man, this site really has gone downhill since being taken over by Fox News, right-wing, nut jobs.
It's Prince, so of course he's gonna create something totally out there and unusual. Thank goodness. Too many artists today play it safe and sane, or they try too hard to be unusual, aka Adam Lambert.
Having said all that, I can kinda see why the Vikings chose to sing "Pants On The Ground" in the locker room after their last game.

this is not meant to be a 'sports song" as u put it.
it is a old tyme football fight/anthem for a sports team.
geesh.

prince writing a song for a sports team, now, unless he was writing a
song for the japanese junior free form ballet team, one would expect
him to come up with a more rocky, edgy, manly song.

i know, i know, it's been said 700 times already on this thread, it's
a "fight" song, it's supposed to be like this bla bla bla yada yada.

but it's prince we're talking about and if he'd given them any other
song they would have gladly accepted and put that one up too. so why
not, on such a public outing, offer up something with a bit more balls
to it. something like the musical track on "guitar" would fit, i guess.

yet this song, for such a team? lol. that's a bit like prince taking
over from the costume designer and putting them all in pink tuft and
knee high stockings with garter belts.

Thanks for posting this!

After listening to this longer version I'll admit I actually like it
It's cute.. especially loving the lyrics and vocal delivery of this bit...

"the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar"

prince has given me a good laugh today!

MY LAWD

this is terrible and delicious

And the worse thing is, they're even dragging TMZ and for god's sake Perez Hilton
in it. Like one should give a shit about what fucking TMZ and even more fucking Perez Hilton thinks about him.

i keep clicking the link and listening to snippets of the song.
listening to it like a used to watch horror movies as a child,
with my hands before my eyes. in this case, with my hands over
my ears, lifting them off a little bit every few seconds.



it's like an accident, it's horrible and you know it's gonna
give you nightmares but yet you have to watch.

There is a bright spot in this story: Animal Kingdom just got a whole lot more attractive and isn't on the bottom anymore.

People... Please!

I love Prince's music just as much as all of you!

Actually, I blame team management for moving forward, and not saying "Prince, ummm... no thank you."

I'm not a Philadelphia Eagles fan... I just live here... but this is a good straight-forward simple fight song:

Prince's fight song sounds like it should have been the theme song for the Smurfs!

I don't fault Prince. He's effeminate. What do you expect?

You don't hire an effeminate man to do a masculine man's job!

Agreed and well said. Great to see sense is still here.

Not much point in trying to explain to these fox news type though, it's not fun to make sense. It's fun to be malicious, ignorant and selfish! It's fun to attack someone who sits high.

Gotta admit though, it's something to watch the hypocrisy and stupidity.

The song is dope. I'd think he should release the instrumental but add more flute. Or accoustic... (Around The World in A Day received a lot of criticism too. )

suddenly, the song about our brothers and sisters in the sea don't sound so bad....

I know that, I only say that meaning that's the reason it probably won't find a foothold with modern football fans. They like pop tunes. A better version of a We Gets Up has a better chance of that.

I actually like it for what it is though.
