Prince's Fight Song
Written for the Minnesota Vikings. Not really into football or sports for that matter, except maybe girls volleyball which I used to catch on cable. Also participated in Superbowl pools at work. I think I won like twenty bucks one year. Anyhoo, I dunno what a football fight song is supposed to sound like. Some people are saying that he got it right, except for the falsetto, while others disagree.
A poster on Prince.org, Comegetwild, had this great comment; "It sounds like the national anthem of a small baltic country..."
True, and probably why I like it.
The song itself.
The recording... not so much. Even though it's probably just a demo, the performance is just so devoid of life and imagination, and the keyboard sounds, so cheesy... One wonders, how a guy like Prince, who never leaves his residence without eyeliner, hair immaculately done, and pimped out clothes, isn't somewhat embarrassed by what is the sonic equivalent to seeing the man garbed like a cracked out homeless person.
I, on the other hand, am occasionally dressed like a cracked out homeless person, so it's okay that my demos sound like that.
But the song itself, I like. He should'a got the guys from Queen to back him up. That would'a been a fight song. Or at least a song on the next Highlander soundtrack.
