In a departure from his lyrical mainstays (e.g. lovemaking and debauchery), Prince's song features veiled references to football:
The veil of the sky draws open, the roar of the chariots touch down... We r the truth if the truth can b told, long reign the purple and gold...We r all amped up like a rock n roll band, ready 2 celebrate every score.
Will the new song lead the Vikings to victory? Their next game is this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The winner goes on to the Super Bowl.
