I used to really like Prince. I still like a lot of his music. The guy is an amazing guitarist, give him that much. If I close my eyes I can transport myself back to the ’80′s when I wanted to party like it was 1999 and Darling Nikki was the naughtiest song I had ever heard in my life and enjoy it for what it is.

He was always kind of weird, which quite honestly, I find to be a good quality in most people. Then he changed his name to a symbol which was a little Beyond Thunderdome for even me, and started writing songs that Tom Jones wanted to cover and that was sort of the end of it.

I saw him in concert after that, however, and it was pretty badass. The only problem was, it was after he had become a Jehovah’s Witness, so all his songs were censored. Lame. Give me my money back.

And now this shit? What is this?

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 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

Are you serious? This makes The Superbowl Shuffle sound like a Grammy Winning song of awesomeness. This is supposed to motivate them to win? Holy crap, did I miss something? Pants on the Ground would probably work better.

So I was sort of cheering for you to win, Vikings, ever since my dad justified it by calling you the Purple Packers, but now no. Thanks Prince, you have cursed them.

Go Saints.
