 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.  Your statement is definitely TRUE! Also people should be pleased that Prince actually is willing to share alot of his artistic work with the public.He must want to hear our input on many of his creations whether it is good or bad:) | |

^ yeah Prince has been ridiculed by fans and the media before.
still "Purple & Gold" remain the worst Prince penned song ever. The truth needs to be told, or else he might release another one just as bad.. haha.

Good grief. All this over a sports team fight song. Yeesh.
Is it bad ...yeah but name a fight song that is good. I think I once heard one for Pittsburg or either Cleveland that was just as eyeroll worthy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I'm not a Vikings fan (my team is Arizona), but I was hoping to see Farve in the Superbowl. The game today was the first time I've watched him play, and I really like his style of passing: distant bullets. With the way his long passes look, and his wide receivers' ability to catch them, he's an exciting quarterback, and now I understand what all of the hype around him is about. Too bad. Now it will be a very boring Superbowl for me, lol.  Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

Hmm...interesting.
The subject matter is a bit corny,football?!! Is it really worthy of those lyrics?? And im not sure the core audience of footy fans will appreciate it, as its a bit falsetto fr them, but in some ways its a case of pearls before the swine. If it wasnt about footy it would probably be pretty good. A song for Haiti would have been more appropriate though i guess. It does grow on you though, it reminds me a bit of the 1994/5/6 NPG era, it sounds a bit Girl 6 ish to me. Like the female vocals too - Bria?!?! Oh well, at least Prince keeps us guessing, no-one would have predicted this, glad he never fails to surprise us! [Edited 1/25/10 13:08pm] [Edited 1/25/10 13:09pm] | |

I LOVE Purple & Gold for three simple reasons:
1) It's crazy. No-one would have predicted Prince would release anything like it. If you want nice songs by a predictable act, buy a Coldplay album. 2) Prince is a global artist. Releasing a local song about a football team shows that he has bigger cajones than anyone. 3) I have been singing it since first listen. And if it had been a 1983 b-side, it would be considered a 'hidden gem' classic by now. Love it! Somewhere Here On Earth | |

..How can someone get pumped off of that..The Song is good for something, a cheap security system for your house, just put that on and put it on repeat and you don't have to worry about anybody breaking into your house; it would drive the criminals away and put Brinks, ADT, and any other alarm systems out of business!  |

Purple & Gold is as cringe worthy as most of his post 80's work, as cringe-worthy as anything on "The Rainbow Children" or Msound, those records are just lucky they never garnered the spotlight or caught the public's attention and wrath like this poor horrible song. [Edited 1/25/10 16:34pm] | |

[Edited 1/25/10 16:34pm] The lyrics are the true killer on this song. they are sooooo bad. Everyone either defends or excuse it because it is a "fight song" but it's still Prince and frankly I DO hold him to a different standard with his music. Otherwise I had a lot of choices of music to listen to. Once Prince came out in the late 70s i HAD no choice!! lol. Now I'm back to plenty of choices. |

Too many snobby Prince fans who expected some fist pumping shit Oh, and by the way, some other band/artist could take those lyrics, redo the song, etc.... Mr. Goodnight, anyone? | |

You all are crackin' me up sooo much!
To me it's interesting.. but it's like if I were having a dream, where in my head all the wrong things got mashed up.. like weird Parade outtakes, the opening bit from "the Black Parade", the ending of "3 Chains of Gold".. and a football game. It's just strange. But it didn't make me do the WTF reaction I had to "Wedding Feast". Whatever happened to Tony M anyways now that you mention it? I just know somehow he's responsible. LOL | |
