Prince Gives You Another Reason To Root For The Saints
Friday, January 22, 2010
After Brett Favre's "Pants on the Ground" rendition last weekend, I figured there wasn't anything else that could make me root for the Saints more. Well that was until this morning, and the release of Prince's new Viking Fight Song "Purple and Gold". Via FOX 9 in Minnesota....
Purple and Gold LyricsI have no words. I mean, it sounds like the Uzbekistan National Anthem more than a fight song. Good lord that was terrible. Geaux Saints!
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

And I thought Prince sucked even before this...
They should play this in the Super Dome on Saturday as a joke. But that might be mean to the good folks of New Orleans. Haven't they been through enough with Katrina and all?
Sounds like "Lift Every Voice." African-Americans everywhere should be offended.
@Deanna, HUMAN BEINGS should be offended
Prince is usually good (his halftime show at the super bowl is the best one ever) but this is plain and simply AWFUL.
Shoot me. Shoot me NOW.
