Prince writes a Minnesota Vikings fight song - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Prince released a new song about the Minnesota Vikings.

Prince said he hadn’t seen the Vikings play in a very long time, until he went to the game against the Dallas Cowboys last week.

“I saw the future,” said Prince.

He said he went home that night, wrote the song, "Purple and Gold," and said the song came easy and fast.

The Vikings love it and plan to put it on their site.

The new song by Prince was released just ahead of the NFC Championship game against the New Orleans Saints.

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
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar

Looks like he'll have to play it next year...the Vikings lost.

If the Vikings had gone on to win the Superbowl he could have called the song "Purple Reign"!

Ah, yes........Prince: The name changing...The Artist formally known as.....yabadabado, whatever needs to not write that song ever again.......I swear, that's like something a twelve year old would have written and this is coming from the guy that did Purple Rain.
