The Superbowl Shuffle
Originally posted over at Solutions Are Power:
I remember when I was a kid the Bears won the Superbowl and everyone was crazy for the Chicago Bears. So much was the love for “da Bears” across the country that they made a record that immortalized the team and made household names of Mike Ditka and William “Refrigerator” Perry.
This record was called “The Superbowl Shuffle“.
According to Wikipedia, “The idea for “The Super Bowl Shuffle” came from record producer Randy Weigand, who was a friend of Willie Gault‘s. They had met through Randy’s girlfriend, Courtney Larson, who was a cheerleader for the team. Weigand had noticed a dance routine on the Amos & Andy television show called “The Kingfish Shuffle” and thought that a similar performance by the Bears players would be good for marketing.”
They filmed it to raise money for needy Chicago families and with the music video it became a phenomenon. If you have ever seen the video, which I have included below, two things come to mind for me – great marketing and not taking yourself too seriously.
