21 Jan Prince Does Vikings Fight Song!
Robyne Robinson broke the news at the local fox affiliate in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that PRINCE was set to debut a Minnesota Vikings fight song tonight. The song is entitled “Purple & Gold.”
Prince has been seen at a few Vikings football game and may have been inspired by Brett Favre n the way they manhandled the Cowboys on Sunday. Shoot, I hope it replaces Brett singing “Pants On The Ground” for sure.
Prince had this to say to FOX9:
“I saw the future,” said Prince.
He said he went home that night, wrote the song, “Purple and Gold,” and said it came easy and fast.
Check out the song above and let me know what you think.-Dr.FB
Update: here are the lyrics to the Vikings fight song entitled “Purple & Gold”
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
CHORUS

Posted at 05:12h, 23 OctoberIt’s limited to parlay bets on NFL games only, and no other sports. They tried to get single game betting going, but the courts ruled that this is a violation of federal law, and banned it. Betting on college sports is still illegal.d ever face legal trouble for placing a wager. Also, I think online casinos cant be blame on this too. US is the biggest online betting market.Americans wager an estimated $6 billion a year in cyberspace.

Posted at 16:25h, 23 JanuaryPrince! You are so wrong for creating this song. You honestly can’t believe this songs boring beat would inspire a team to play hard and win. Come on now Baby, Come on! Return to the studio and try it again. This song SUCKS! And I love Prince and his music (since 1979) but I can’t lie and say this song rocks.

Hello! Ive been in TV and music biz and had music theory/history…this is a definition of an anthem and a fight song…
ANTHEM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem
The term anthem means either a specific form of Anglican church music (in music theory and religious contexts), or more generally, a SONG (or composition) of celebration, usually acting as a symbol for a distinct group of people, as in the term “national anthem” or “sports anthem”.
An ANTHEM IS A SONG!!
FIGHT SONG term
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_song
A fight song is primarily an American and Canadian sports term, referring to a song associated with a team. In both professional and amateur sports, fight songs are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team. Although the term “fight song” is primarily used in America, the use of fight songs is commonplace around the world, but they may be referred to as team anthems, himnos equipos (Spanish language), or team songs in other countries, such as Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. Fight songs differ from stadium anthems, used for similar purposes, in that they are usually written specifically for the purposes of the team, whereas stadium anthems are not.
The term ‘Fight Song’ may also refer to a piece of music meant to excite or “pump up” a crowd for whatever reason, such as at a rave or concert.
In the United States, fight songs are especially popular for college and high school sports. Among the most notable are The Victors, Notre Dame Victory March, Anchors Aweigh, Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech, Buckeye Battle Cry and On Wisconsin. However, several NFL teams maintain traditional songs usually several decades old. Notable fight songs include WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN; Skol, Vikings; Bear Down, Chicago Bears; Go! You Packers! Go!; Fly, Eagles Fly; San Diego Super Chargers; Hail to the Redskins; Hey, Hey Tampa Bay, and the Detroit Lions’ traditional fight song “Gridiron Heroes”.
Hundreds of colleges have fight songs, some of which are over a century old. The oldest collegiate fight song in the United States is Boston College’s “For Boston”, composed by T.J. Hurley in 1885.[1] Fight songs are laden with history; in singing a fight song, fans feel part of a large, time-honored tradition. The following list contains some of the most established and popular in America.
A FIGHT SONG IS A SONG!!
WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Saints_Go_Marching_In
“When the Saints Go Marching In.” often referred to as “The Saints,” is a United States gospel hymn that has taken on certain aspects of folk music. Though it originated as a spiritual, today people are more likely to hear it played by a jazz band. The song is sometimes confused with a similarily titled composition “When the Saints are Marching In” from 1896 by Katharine Purvis (lyrics) and James Milton Black (music).[1]
The number remains particularly associated with the city of New Orleans, to the extent that New Orleans’ professional football team was named the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS! It has been played by Louis Armstrong (New Orleanian), Fats Domino (New Orleanian), Bill Haley & His Comets, Buddy Bolden, and tons of others!
Yall need to know your history b4 talking!!
WHO DAT!!
