I was listening to sporttalk (waddle&silvy out of chicago) and Tom Waddle is also on the NFL network , he said on sunday during commercial breaks he and the other guys on the show were debating who was the greatest musician ever and he said the other guys made a great case for Prince and he couldnt think of anyone else that compared with Princes talent, he tried to tell them Elton John maybe, but he said even he might agree that when it comes to all around ability/musicianship Prince is the greatest. Silvy, the other guy on the radio show was laughing saying, so while you guys on NFL network are supposed to be analyzing football, instead your debating Prince? Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

OK, so while the song might be a floating turd, and everybody saying that they hate it who has the mp3 in their collection and has listened to it more than once since they acquired it.

At least the Saints will give some excitement to the proceedings... Anyway, the Colts have got to outscore the Saints before the Saints outsnore them  We ain't from Hollywood, so you know it's all good | |

Love this tune. I picture a group of vikings in a bar toasting each other singing this song. Prince creates some very accurate thematic imagery with this song.
I think we all need to keep in mind this song is not meant to be Dreamer part 2, it has a very specific focus. Good stuff P! peace [Edited 1/27/10 15:53pm] "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

Statler: That "Purple & Gold" song isn't half bad! Waldorf: Nope! It's ALL bad! Wow. This is easily the worst thing I've heard him do. This could have been used in place of waterboarding at Gitmo!

I've never heard anything like it in my entire life. A few things spring to mind though, you know when the munchkins are seeing Dorothy off to go and find the Wizard so she can go home? I imagine those munchkins singing this to her. Dont ask me why, i just do. Also,its quite satanic isnt it? It could have been played in Rosemary's baby when she sees the baby for the first time. I'm bewildered by it.

Speechless.
Can we just delete both of these Purple and Gold threads and act like it never happened. Maybe Prince had foresight when requesting that his music be removed from YouTube. He knew he was going to be releasing this Papa Smurf victory ballad. Wait... the Smurfs were blue. He knew he was going to be releasing this "Barney fucks Big Bird" victory ballad. Let's just gett off it!!! PLEASE!!! I'm sick of thinking about it. REMOVE THESE THREADS!!!!! The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! |

Star Tribune, Minneapolis, C.J. column: Prince's 'fight' song sounded familiar - and led to a familiar result
Jan, 26, 2010 04:08 AM - Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) Jan. 26--Thanks a lot for the rousing "Vikings fight song," Prince. "The reason the Vikings lost was that damned fight song. After hearing it they didn't know whether to fight, win or march for civil rights," said Sheletta Brundidge, an FM107 show co-host and comedian. She might be onto a thing or two, including this: "As soon as I heard it, I knew right way, that's the 'Black National Anthem.' Are we fighting or unifying? I was confused." She's talking about the haunting melodic similarities between the anthem and the "fight song" -- which STUNK and has been justifiably ripped all over the Internet, radio and by ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption." On Friday afternoon, Brundidge said she read a post on startribune.com about Prince's fight song and decided it was worth discussing on her new 7-9 p.m. weeknight talk show. "Donny Love [FM107 producer] had the song in the system. As soon as he pulled it up [she recognized the music; Love did not.]. Now, of course, nobody in Minnesota knows the 'Black National Anthem.' But girrrl, Donny pulled them up and had them on two different channels, and he would play one, pause it, and play the other one and pause it. They were absolutely in sync." At Sheletta.com, she posted both songs. I'm inclined to think she's dead on because I instantly disliked the melody of Prince's sorry "Purple and Gold." That's my usual reaction to the anthem, also known as "Lift Every Voice and Sing." The message of the song is laudable, but the up and down tempo has always been displeasing to my ear (which wasn't fooled by Prince's version, albeit jazzed up). I'm guessing that the anthem is in the public domain, so nobody's suggesting Prince faces any copyright issues. Prince told Fox 9's Robyne Robinson that he was inspired to write the song after being on hand for the Vikings' spanking of the Cowboys in the divisional matchup. Never mind that Brett Favre's Vikings had been succeeding just fine without any musical support from Symbolina. Never mind the lyrics have a repurposed feel, as in Symbolina tweaked lyrics from one of the millions of songs he's written and most notably inserted the words "Purple and Gold." Ta-daaa. Robinson has not responded to my e-mail requesting that her friend Prince call so we can talk about the inspiration for the melody of his fight song. Brundidge text-messaged me Monday at 8:41 a.m. to say the Prince song was the reason the Vikings didn't defeat Darren Sharper's Saints in Sunday's title game. This is noted because there would be great whining if I don't acknowledge that at 10:41 p.m. Sunday, Fancy Ray mailed this to me: "Vikings LOSE... I blame it on THAT Prince song!!!" http://www.poten.com/News...d=10325522 http://www.startribune.com/. anyone ever heard this anthem?  | |

In my best Dave Chappelle Prince voice: "Looks like my frilly fight song didn't help your Vikings win, Charlie Murphy"...."Game, Blouses"

I've heard it at least once a year, every year since I was 5 and started school. And on page 20, at post 595, in the first thread on this topic, I said: It's very "anthem"-like! At the 00:50 mark, I almost started singing the lyrics to "Lift Every Voice And Sing".
