TQOTD: Football Music

[pat]

I know there really are few football fans among my friends, but please just indulge me on this one.

What group had a minor hit in the mid-'80s with the song and video "Super Bowl Shuffle"?



The Chicago Bears, in 1985. Um, yeah, the football team. (Well, not just any football team: Da Bears that year were quite possibly the most dominant football team I've ever seen. (I include in that the '72 Dolphins.) I may bleed pewter and red (formerly orange and red) but the '85 Bears were simply mind-bogglingly good. With the likes of the great Walter "Sweetness" Payton and the incomparable "Samurai Mike" Singletary, not to mention one of the most entertainingly flaky QBs in the history of the game, the 85 Bears weren't a sports team, they were a force of nature.)

God, I love football.

I tremble to admit that I remember that song.

Daaaaaa Bears. I remember that song, horrifyingly enough, and I will confess to you that I used to follow them around 85 or so. No, really, I'm not just saying that. ;)

Not only do I remember the song, I think this is the first TQOTD that Lis and I both got.
