They added to the hype with a music video for the song The Super Bowl Shuffle.<\/p>\n<p>A documentary regarding the making of the video, called The Shuffle, debuts tonight on HBO and HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ooT_uz--O2A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Here\u2019s the song<\/a>. One thing hasn\u2019t changed over the past 40 years: It\u2019s so bad, it\u2019s kind of good.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned in The Shuffle, via Chris Vognar of the Boston Globe, running back Walter Payton and quarterback Jim McMahon <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/11\/24\/arts\/the-shuffle-chicago-bears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">didn\u2019t show up<\/a> for the video shoot, disagreeing with the idea of shooting the video the day after a Monday night loss in Miami. Their portions were shot later, and superimposed over the footage of the other players.<\/p>\n<p>The song made it to No. 41 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100. Which may be more of an indictment regarding the quality of the other musical offerings of the day. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the song was nominated for a Grammy. Let me repeat that. It was nominated for a Grammy, for Best R&amp;B Performance by a Duo or Group. (Prince &amp; The Revolution won for Kiss.)<\/p>\n<p>The Bears, obviously, backed up their presumptuous music video by getting to the Super Bowl and winning it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been 40 years since the 1985 Bears became a phenomenon.
