Purple and Gold Part II Part I is here: http://prince.org/msg/7/328576
There are some not to be missed posts in that one, Let's continue that trend over here. http://www.vikings.com/me...36975dd042 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 ready 2 celebrate every score ready 2 fight the elegant war ready 2 hear the crowd roar that's what we came 4 and so much more in the name of the purple and gold r spirits may b tired r bodies may b worn but since this day is r destiny r history – that's y we must b 4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings' horn in the name of the purple and gold 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. |

I read all 1017 comments on the first thread. (Yes, really.)
It took some time, but I did it. I laughed. I cried. I have some new favorite posters. I rethunk my position. I'm still disappointed immensely, and I've already made what I feel are valid comments. So why am I still here reading and posting? Because I wish the song was better... and I want to make sure that I'm not just on some "hate" bandwagon. I don't HATE the song. I just wish Prince hadn't gone public with it, thus allowing the whole world to hate it, and lose any respect they may have had for him. This is the same man who wrote the kickass Little Red Corvette and Housequake, for Heaven's sake! He can sing and do what he wants, and with guidance, this song could have been THE BOMB as well! Prince lives in his own Neverland Ranch. This is his reality. We're not surprised that he would come up with a song like this. It's very "Paisley Park meets Grafitti Bridge meets I Love U but I Don't Trust U Anymore, meets Peter Pan singing Diamonds and Pearls with flutes with too much time on his hands. We're just disappointed that it's public, and that he would relate such a song like this to NFL-MASCULINE HARD-HITTING TESTOSTERONE-BASED football! So I'm done commenting. For now. Maybe. But Prince needs to learn that some of his creations need to be kept to himself... hence the vault. Maybe Warner Brothers was right all along, in that respect. SLAVE THAT, Prince. And get over yourself. The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! | |

Well, let me see... It's supposed to be a fight song. For a football team called the Minnesota Vikings. That Prince himself said he wrote after being inspired in a stadium, at a playoff game, last week that was filled to capacity with the knuckle dragging musically illiterate majority, as you called them. Whatever could we be thinking? I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

granted.
i'd bet money he goes into stubborn mode on this one though. he won't make changes because that would be admitting that everyone is right about the song. writers are generally like that. i can't tell you how many writers have asked me to look over their scripts and to be honest, then gotten stubborn and locked down when i tell them the truth. thank god i don't have that kind of ego about my stuff. i'm actually the opposite. compliments make me uncomfortable, and i mostly want to hear criticism. 2elijah said: Well, seeing how the reaction was to the song publically, maybe he might put his stubborness on the shelf, and make a few changes.
Babynoz said: Well he told Tavis that he doesn't mind criticism when he can learn something from it, so I've given my suggestions. lol I'm laughing at 2freaky for suggesting the song will end his career...it won't significantly impact his standing with the GP one way or the other. lol [Edited 1/23/10 16:07pm] (bolded part) Well, we know that will not happen.

Wow...umm... wow. Hmmm... Scratching my head..
Keep in mind.. I didn't pay to hear this song. Had I, I'd be a bit irritated. It's umm.. it's cute. Not a sports fan here, but a cute song for a "fight song" umm.. not sure how that works out but.. I definitely don't feel if you're a fan you should drink the purple kool-aid so to speak and blindly say everything he makes is the best.. If he doesn't have ups and downs the highs aren't so high. This was.. interesting. He just wanted to do something fun to show his love for his team. As some of my southern friends might say.. "well bless his heart!". Back to.. "We are the bears, shufflin crew.. shufflin on down..doin it for you..." [Edited 1/23/10 16:11pm] | |

It's a song silly people. It's hysterical how people overreact to it. Prince has released a ton of material. It's okay if you don't like everything. I'm sure Prince isn't losing any sleep over it. grow up. | |

Hey People... it could have been worse!
To the tune of Wedding Feast Brett dear Brett, I blocked as quickly as I could The offensive line has broken The passing attack is gone for good Gone for good And now there must be some rushing (rushhhhhing) Now we must rush the beast The beast The beast Adrian Peterson’s the Beast A draw, off tackle He’ll get 6 yards at least Not just a gain of chitlins Or no yardage you see He wears 28 So you mustn’t masturbate We’ll win the game by 3 Unless he blooooows The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! | |

Early reports have "Purple and Gold" casualties at 46, mostly bleeding ears and pants shitting. 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. |

Amen the need to try and justify this song is disturbing. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

I just listened to it again. You know, the exact same song might not be half as bad if a real band that knows how to do proper fist pumping anthems would have done it. (I'm picturing Cheap Trick here - they wrote the book on this.) But Prince of course has to do his standard Prince production with his childish little synth bits and flute sounds - not to mention his cute little falsetto voice. The dude is just such a flake. Thinking he should cook this up for FOOTBALL fans. How out of touch can you be? disbelief [Edited 1/23/10 15:18pm] Who said it is supposed to be a stadium anthem? Prince is a genius beyond the comprehension of many low brow consumers so if it is loss on the knuckle dragging muscially illiterate majority, so be it. No one rocks like Prince - no one. dude, it's a song about a football team! And I strongly feel his genius is going to be lost on all the cavemen, because he has no idea how to communicate with the unwashed masses anymore. He might be better suited writing music for ice skating competitions, seriously. | |

Even some of the Mods don't like it! It is my great hope that tomorrow a fully realized version will play and it will be great. I REALLY want that, but I am not confident in that happening. I keep trying to run arrangements in my head and it's just too clunky. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large.

This is Prince's Paul McCartney "Frog Chorus" moment, the difference is he went to number 1, where this just has a smattering of the number two's about it.  | |
