Happy Anniversary, Super Bowl Shuffle

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Dec 3, 2008 4:42PM

Given the Bears' putrid showing against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, it was easy to overlook the fact that yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of the second greatest moment in Chicago Bears history: the filming of the famous "Super Bowl Shuffle" video. Coincidentally, the Bears filmed the video the day after a loss on national television: in this case, a loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, the only loss the eventual Super Bowl Champion Bears would suffer all season. Not even Kanye, Lupe, or the genius Lil Wayne could write a rhyme like, "I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon/ When I hit the turf, I've got no plan/ I just throw my body all over the field/ I can't dance, but I can throw the pill."

Also, the thing is seven freaking minutes long.
