The Superbowl Shuffle

By far the finest piece of music ever produced by The Chicago Bears. Here are a few points should commit to memory:

1. The song sold more than a half-million singles and reached No. 41 on the music charts.
2. It was recorded slightly before The Bears played and won the Super Bowl.
3. “The Super Bowl Shuffle” raised the media profile of the Bears as they completed their one-loss regular season. The Bears backed up their musical strutting by dominating their playoff opponents and hammering the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, 46-10, in one of the greatest seasons in NFL history.
4. “The Super Bowl Shuffle” was a huge success from the minute it aired on radios and televisions across the country.
5. The 1985 Chicago Bears were the first sports team to have their own rap video.
6. The song was nominated for a Grammy in 1985, but due to an mathematical error, The Bears did not win. A similar error was responsible for why The Bears did not receive "Best New Group or Artist" as well as the "Life Time Achievement" award.
7. The song had an strong humanitarian impact on the community - over $300,000 was donated to the Chicago Community Trust to help needy families in the area with clothing, shelter, and food.
8. I have listened to this song over 4,000 times.
9. The 1985 Bears were the greatest single season team in NFL history.
10. The 1985 Bears were not the first pro football team with a group song. The 1984 San Francisco 49ers put out a record during that season, one in which they also went on to become Super Bowl champs. The song, "We Are the 49ers," was in the vein of post-disco/80's dance-pop music. Later in the 1980s, the 49ers would put out another team song titled "49ers Rap." No one has ever been reported to have cared about the 49ers or their music.
