I’m sorry, but the NFL and Prince just don’t mix. Why Prince chose to make a song for the Minnesota Vikings is beyond me- although, I have a uneasy feeling that it has something to do with their team colors.
So here we have the full version of the ultra-cheesy “Purple & Gold” song that is quickly spreading around the net today. You can see the even cheesier lyrics below.
I’ve never really been a fan of the Vikings or Prince, so my opinion may be a bit one-sided when I say that I think this song is utterly terrible. I admit Prince is a very talented musician, but I doubt even the marching band would like playing this boring tune.
Lyrics:
the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we are 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 be denied
raise every voice and let it be known
in the name of the purple and gold
we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds are in our favor
no prediction to bold
we are the truth if the truth can be told
long reign the purple and gold
the eyes say ready for battle
no need for sword in hand
we are all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready to celebrate every score
ready to fight the elegant war
ready to hear the crowd roar
that’s what we came for
and so much more
in the name of the purple and gold
our spirits may be tired
our bodies may be worn
but since this day is our destiny
our history, that’s why we must be
forever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn
in the name of the purple and gold
