Music: “Purple and Gold”: Prince fails at writing a proper team spirit song

  • The Purple One may be one of the least likely judges of what makes a good team spirit song, but Prince does know something about the color purple. The real problem with this song is that it sounds like it’s designed to be sung at church, not at a Minnesota Vikings game. Somehow, this is even stranger than the name change was back in the day. This song could seriously be the billy goat for the entire state of Minnesota. source

Offbeat: Someone already managed to doucheify “Pants on the Ground”

  • Protip: If you sound anything remotely like Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson when you play guitar, your fingers should be webbed together using Crazy Glue so you can’t share your “gift’ with the world. Don’t ruin the greatest song ever, dude.

Offbeat: The latest in the awful rapper game: BANGS’ Sudanese slang

  • We didn’t consider that there might be a rapper out there with skills even lesser than Boostalk‘s, but it appears Sudanese spitter BANGS has him beat. Sample rhyme: “Let’s sit in those two chairs alone/watching a movie/so we can see what’s going on.” So deep. On the plus side, at least we still have Chuggo. (Hat tip Andrew Sullivan)
