Chuck Klosterman om "Raspberry Beret"

"4:18 P.M.: "Raspberry Beret," the best Prince song ever recorded, is followed by the Bangles' "Manic Monday," the best Prince song ever recorded by somebody else. Prince supposedly gave "Manic Monday" to Susanna Hoffs in the hope that she would sleep with him. If I were Prince, that's all I would ever do -- I'd write airtight singles for every female musician I ever met. As far as I can tell, the reason you write great songs is to become a rock star, and the reason you become a rock star is to have sex with beautiful, famous women. Why not cut out the middleman? Prince is a genius."

Prince Crafts New Fight Song ‘Purple & Gold’ For Minnesota Vikings



The complete information is sketchy right now but it is clear that Prince has written a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings a preview of which you can listen to in the above clip.
Prince said he hadn’t seen the Vikings play in a very long time, until he went to the game against the Dallas Cowboys last week.

“I saw the future,” said Prince.

He said he went home that night, wrote the song, “Purple and Gold,” and said the song came easy and fast. The Vikings love it and plan to put it on their site.
