Minneapolis native Prince, inspired by his hometown Vikings playoff victory over the Cowboys last weekend, recorded this little diddy:
Not only is it musically terrible, sounding like he banged it out on his 36-key, my first piano, fisher price Keyboard that he got for Christmas when he was 8; but it’s a nursry rhyme that doesn’t inspire fight in anyone. Unless you count fighting to destroy whatever medium that’s playing this Munchkin Land, Lollipop Guild sounding song.
Really, that’s what it sounds like. Compare:
What the hell Prince?
Your thoughts?
Hmmm…that really does sound like a Fisher Price keyboard! Prince has no business writing fight songs for anybody. He might inspire the team to wear some ruffles and lace, but that’s about it.

@Bohemian Chick, I’m saying. He needs to stay in his lane and write tortured erotic love songs.
Exactly! The more tortured the better. His “fight song” is probably the reason the Vikings lost last night! For some reason, this whole thing reminds me of that Dave Chappelle skit with Prince and the Revolution playing basketball!
