Did Prince Curse the Minnesota Vikings?

FOX 9 News

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Vikings

have won only six games since Prince released "Purple and Gold" in the weeks leading up to the NFC Championship game. After 12 men on the field, a full 2010 season and four disappointing weeks to start 2011...has Minneapolis' own icon brought bad luck to the Vikings?

"I saw the future," Prince told former FOX 9 anchor Robyne Robinson, who was given an exclusive advance copy of "Purple and Gold" on Jan. 21, 2010. The song resembled a New Orleans funeral march – a jab at the eventual Super Bowl champion Saints.

So was "Purple and Gold" an unintended funeral dirge for the Vikings? Even the opening line of the song – "the veil of the sky draws open" could be thrown against the collapse of the Metrodome roof that displaced an already beaten and battered Vikings team last season.

Listen to the song:Prince's 'Purple and Gold'

It's not the first time Prince has collided with football . In 2007, Prince played at Super Bowl XLI in what Billboard called the greatest Super Bowl performance ever – and it rained.

Now, four weeks into 2011, the Vikings stand at 0-4 (6-15 since Prince released his battle cry) and staring at a schedule that only gets harder. After Sunday's disappointment in Kansas City, not a single win can be penciled in.

Is it the offensive line? The defensive secondary? Or a curse?

"Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens
No matter how heavy or dark the day
Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow
It's never as bad as it seems until we say"

~Prince 1996~
