It would seem that Prince's love of all things purple and gold extends to his sporting preferences. The Purple One is a big fan of his hometown football team, The Minnesota Vikings. And after watching the team murderize the Dallas Cowboys in a game last week, Prince has been inspired by the team -- and their most superfunkycalifragisexy of team colours -- to write a new fight song as the Vikings go into a conference championship game Sunday.
A clip of the song, "Purple and Gold," was posted on the website for a Minneapolis Fox TV station. Just don't expect anything of "Purple Rain" calibre -- or even "Batdance." Think something more along the lines of a high school pep rally cheer set to Casio keyboard.
As for the rah-rah-ziz-boom-bah 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
