Prince was so moved by the Minnesota Vikings win over the Dallas Cowboys last week, he put together a tribute song to his hometown team for the NFC Championship versus the New Orleans Saints called “Purple and Gold.” He wrote it after watching them stomp all over Tony Romo & his boys, saying it was the first time he’d seen the Vikings play in years and that afterward he “saw the future.” I see the future too, which includes loads of vomiting if I ever have to sit through this song again. If I had my choice, I’d rather listen to Brett Favre’s rendition of “Pants on the Ground” than this. Someone write a song for the Indianapolis Colts and you’ll have my attention.
Now, we are providing you the video to the song but it comes with a warning to hear it at your own risk. We don’t recommend anyone to hear it but we are just providing it just for the sake of it.
Per Huffington Post:
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 deniedraise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and goldwe 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 goldthe 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 roarthat’s what we came 4
and so much more
in the name of the purple and goldr 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
Ok. What do you think of this?
