Sweaters & Saxophones: Six Cheesy NFL Music Videos That Haven't Aged Very Well
By Mike Cardillo
In 1985 the Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew released the “Super Bowl Shuffle.” The world — and our ear drums — were never the same after the Punky QB known as McMahon, Samurai Mike and Mama’s Boy Otis were released on the world. Chances are you’ve heard it.
Did you know it sparked an entire cottage industry of NFL teams deciding to try their hand at rapping, or specifically lip-synching over studio beats?
On this lazy day after Thanksgiving, let’s take a look at these knock-offs. It’s clear the Shufflin’ Crew are, and will forever be, the gold standard. The rest have, in one rare exception, aged worse than a vat of processed neon orange nacho cheese.
“We Are the New York Giants”
“Buddy’s Watchin’ You.”
“Silver and Black Attack”
“Can’t Touch Us”
“Locker Room Rock”
“The Patriots and We”
A Couple Bonus Videos:
Deion Sanders, “Must Be the Money” is to athletes what Eddie Murphy “Party All the Time” is to actors.
Marv Levy’s attempt for a new Buffalo Bills fight song is both hilarious and depressing at the same time.
