Are you kidding me?!?!?! Prince writes song for Vikings

[JacoLesFlea]

Heard it on the radio this morning and I now feel pissed off!!

Well, he was born in Minnesota, so it makes sense he would be a Vikings fan.

[Gard]

I heard this earlier today, and my reaction was pretty much...

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

...that sounds like it would be more appropriate at It's A Small World @ Disney, not at a football game!!!!



Lame, lame, lame...

This is the dude that wrote "Let's Go Crazy", and that's the best he can do?

[MonetBass]

Wow, that is pretty bad.

In case you didn't know, he has a box at the Metrodome and attends most games.

[MN_Bass]

As a Vike Fan and Prince Fan, That Sucks.

[playinpearls]

that is very special.

[SteveC]

He's at games all the time. Minnesota/Minneapolis/St. Paul has been pretty good to him.

Song sucks, but I would like to know the context for which is was written.

[LilRay]

Haven't heard it but lemme guess;

Ol Man River?

(With a lot of wannabe Michael Jackson and Jimi Hendrix thrown in?)





God Bless, Ray

[Richland123]

Boy, am I glad he is not a Steelers fan. Prince is very talented but that song is extremely lame.

It's AWFUL.

[DWBass]

He's working on his new career writing the music for Disney's new "It's A Small World After All" interactive experience...



...man, I'm really just floored by how LAME it is.

Holy Moly!!!!!!!


I think Prince must've eaten a lot of "Special Icecream" and brownies and paste coated macaroni and boogers to conjur that mellowly groovy tune.

Does he not know Football is a manly sport?

If I wasn't LMAO I'd be in the mood for a nap

God Bless, Ray

[Deluge Of Sound]

I dunno, it seems to fit with a bunch of guys running around in skimpy outfits piling on top of each other at every opportunity...

[HailCorduroy]

Wow, not only is the song pretty bad, the audio was horrific. It sounded like it was played back through water.

[Gard]

This is what passes for "clever" and "funny" in Minneapolis?



Now, I hope the Saints demolish the Barneys, I was hoping for a good game, a close one. No longer - I want purple and yellow (they call that gold?) stains all over the Dome turf...

Total lack of anything resembling class...

[MakiSupaStar]

I just here to drink my beer and watch Gard get all worked up.

Y'know it's one thing to sit and be a magpie man, or to talk a bit of smack about the game...but to use the experience of the entire Gulf Coast region as a "joke" lacks a whole lot of things, and is not deserving of any kind of humor.

I knew people that died in that storm, friends.

My family lost TWO houses, one that was my father's home for 40 years and the house I grew up in.

It's the same thing as someone from New Orleans taking a photo of the I-35 bridge collapse and making some joke out of it.

No class.

WHO COMES UP WITH THIS GARBAGE???????

I'm fastly becoming a bigger Saints fan by the minute.
Hook them cretans up with a pot of rank gumbo.
Kick 'em in the nutz NOLA!!!!

God Bless, Ray

Wait... What?!!! I'm not making any such joke. I don't find any of that remotely funny. I just love how enthusiastic you get about your teams, and I love poking fun at you (not New Orleans, New Orleans fans, or anything even close the aftermath of hurricane Katrina) because I know you get all worked up about the teams your supporting. Man, I hoped you knew that already. What I love, if you haven't already gathered his how you passionately take on the world in the NFL threads. It's quite a spectacle, that I enjoy watching. As I said in the other thread, I don't know enough about this season, to have an opinion one way or the other. Other than me occasionally heckling you, I have nothing of substance to add to this thread, or the other thread (although I am a fan of some of Prince's work - not this song however). When I pop in with my little quips, I'm simply subscribing.

Cheers. I owe you beer.

EDIT: I didn't click on the links. I see what you're talking about. I thought you were addressing that to me. I agree with you Gard. That's really in poor taste.
