Call for a remake

1985 Superbowl Shuffle


And here's a public apology. I had never heard the Chicago Bears Fight song. And would accuse Andrew (and Jeff) of making up a fight song for their team. But I looked it up today and here it is, with the link to hear the Chicago Symphony playing it. I actually heard them playing it at the stadium today too.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!

-- Al Hoffman, 1941

That's so funny--I have a vague, fuzzy, very early memory of hearing my dad and his buddies sing that song. Boy, were we Bears' fans! I have a picture of the last time they were in the Super Bowl (I believe). I have a Bears' onesie on, and am propped up next to a Bears' teddy bear. I was six months old. :)

I lied. I was 18 months old.

Thank you. You have answered my nagging question that I've had for the entire post-season. After living in England, I've become more aware of chanting & singing during soccer games. I'm glad to know that Chicagoans can carry a good tune in their stadium :)

Thanks also for the words ... now I can sing along during the SUPER BOWL !! :D:D:D:D

GO BEARS !
