^^^Gets it.

That said, this is the first Prince song ever that I don't feel the need to have a copy of.

No... no you don't... for your own sake.

definitely more of an Alma mater song than a fight song, slow and no-one knows all the words.

i.e.-my alma mater

As far as "fight songs" go, this sounds about right. Good for Prince, showing some purple rah rah!!

I can't hear the song yet (I'm on a mobile), but I do like the lyrics. I'm picking up what you're putting down Prince. Too cute!

It sounds like something from The Sound of Music that didn't make the cut because it sucked too much.

I like it! I think he might have been excited and wanted us 2 hear it.....it doesn't sound polished ,but the blue print sounds nice. I can hear a band playing it and a choir singing it. Nice Job Prince

What? lol I'm not taking this stuff seriously at all. It's just a goofy song for the hometown team.

Yeah, just a bit of fun really, no harm done...Princey got the team spirit!

bettybop said:

It's not the fact that he wrote a fight song for the Vikings (as brutally traumatizing as THAT may be in ITSELF), it's the song ITSELF. I need therapy now.

And HEAVEN HELP US ALL when people start realizing that this is PRINCE. It's like someone said before, just WAIT for the bullshit we're gonna have to hear about Prince now...

mayrain said:

I agree!

Vendetta1 said:

Y'all have no clue these boys are hungry right now!!! Minneapolis gonna kick ass come Sunday.
Thanks Prince for showing some love, fuck the haters!

They sure do. I actually liked the Tarkenton/Grant version of the Vikings and even the Culpepper/Greene version.

They actually have a good team now...I'm just not fond of Favre. I almost liked him for singing Pants On The Ground though.

Some of you have no clue what a fight song is

this is liek something u sing after the game holding hands

it is what it is

LOL! Like I said, the Vikings are good and I have liked them historically BUT the Saints are gonna hand them their you know what on a platter...It's ON!

The Vikings like it. What about Louisiana. Prince's family came up from New Orleans. I for one hope the Saint's win big! :clapclapwoot:

I really don't wanna hear it now.

That's right, his peeps are from Louisiana...could this be sabotage?

I hope he includes this on the New Power Sampling Set when it comes out. I heard the 3 Tenors are looking for some jams for their next album.

Acrylic said:

lol I don't know...it's been a tough news week for me and I guess I'm happy for a bit of silly. I kinda think it's cute he's showing some hometown pride and showing a playful side. I don't care if people clown him. Bob Dylan's Christmas CD, Prince's Vikings song....*shrugs*...they aren't hurting anyone. lol

Purple and Gold Lyrics

the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won't bow down
this time we won't b denied

raise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band



Im confused, is this about the Vikings or Jesus?

Pssst, hey Princey...come closer, no...closer.

Now, repeat after me...re-mix, re-mix.

You can thank me later.
