Prince records a rally song for the Vikings

All I gotta say about this is wow. Prince has come out and made a song for his hometown Minnesota Vikings. The song is called “Purple and Gold” and I guess it’s supposed to inspire the team and fans.

Look, I’m a huge Prince fan. He’s one of the most amazing musicians ever and he’s released a lot of great albums. So it really pains me to say this, but this song is pretty shitty.

I mean if you’re a Vikings fan you’re probably creaming your BVDs, having Prince record a rally song for your team is pretty rad. But when it’s this song it’s not rad at all. If I were a Viking fan I’d probably just have preferred him to rehash “Let’s Go Crazy”.

Having said all that I don’t think the Vikings need any kind of rally song or any more flash than what they already add themselves. If it didn’t work for LTPrice, it probably won’t work for the Vikings. And if the Vikings happen to lose on Sunday it will only serve to remind them of the real glory they missed out on.
