    I don't know about other teams, but there's also a gogo 12" called (Are the Redskins #1) HAIL YEAH! by the TF Crew. Redskins fans are serious.

    For the 1986 NFL season, the Chicago Bears recorded the "Super Bowl Shuffle,"
    a rather ackward sort-of rap that took advantage of the various hugely
    popular personalities on the team and actually became a Gold Record, reaching
    as high as #41 on Billboard. The video, shown ad nauseum on the fledgling MTV
    network, was even more popular, making the track more memorable and enduring
    than most of the Top Ten hits of that year.

    The New England Patriots, on the other hand, Peter-McNeely-Esque opponents
    of said Bears in that year's Championship Game - and my local heroes - felt
    compelled to answer the Super Bowl Shuffle with a musical effort of their
    own, one that fittingly mirrored their efforts to match the Bears on the
    field of play. In other words, it was an embarrassment. "Berry the Bears"
    managed to have a beat that made the "Super Bowl Shuffle's" 1/4 casio slaps
    sound like the illest boom bap this side of Canton, OH - and lyrics that
    spoke of bravado but smacked of desperation and pre-determined failure:


    Bears
    Time to Berry the Bears
    Try us if you dare
    Now it's time to tear
    Chicago out of our hair
    Come out of your lair
    It's time - time to Berry the Bears

    Pats
    James got the moves
    Eason's got the arm
    Holloway's got the charm
    Nelson & Tippett got brains
    Hannah can take the pain
    It's time - time to Berry the Bears

    Berry took this talent and made it a team
    Now it's time for all of us to get up and scream

    (SCREAM)

    (pseudo-rap)
    Ok people, now it's time
    We soared over the Jets
    We raided the Raiders
    We Squished the Fish
    And now it's time to Berry the Bears

    (repeat chorus)

    The video was even more of an insult. In answer to the Bears' MTV
    mainstay, we had a camcorder extravaganza featuring local news anchors
    and politicians mugging it up like the drunken Boston hacks they were,
    produced by "V66," the short-lived local video network that sprung up in
    the wake of MTV's massive success. "V66" was actually pretty cool (showing
    Prince's "Controversy" video uncensored at 3PM weekdays), but that's a story
    for another time - bottom line is, they were "budget" all the way, and
    the video reflected that perfectly.

    Although I have no JPEG, There was definitely a 45 of it - I've come across
    it plenty in my digs, only to toss it aside quickly in disgust, the shame of that
    Super Bowl still stings after all these years, even with the 3 Championships
    in the past 5 seasons. The lyrics mention "Squish the Fish," the catchphrase
    for the AFC Championship game that preceded the "Berry the Bears" hopeless credo -
    that game with Miami was EPIC and one of the greatest moments in Pats history
    up until very recently...unfortunately, a very good and pretty personable
    Pats team was kicked to the corner of history, a footnote only as the
    hapless victims of the what many consider the GREATEST FOOTBALL SEASON
    BY AN NFL TEAM OF ALL TIME, the 1986 Chicago Bears.

  • That Redskins LP is badarse even if the music sux R***.

    These are my two football records:



    The Raiders one is actually play-by-play and interviews and stuff and the other one is the Michigan band doing a bunch of Midwest fight songs. On VAnguard no less. Wish it had USC's fight song which is one of my favorites. It does have the Notre DAme fight song tho, which rules.

  • Oh, I'm interested in any football related LPs any of you guys wanna get rid of.

    Actually...that wasn't the only awful song the 86 Pats released. "New England, the Patriots, and We," was the name of the other. 5 minutes of some of the worst whitedude wailing sax you've ever heard, bad hair, and local 'celebs' singing such immortal lyrics as "New England! The Patriots! And We!/ We'll Hang the Bears from the Liberty Tree!/ New England! The Patriots! And We!/ Here's to Football in Jan-u-arY!" And it goes on like that...

    We've got a tape somewhere at work...i'll try to find it and dub it to DvD for you.

  • I got a few library records called sounds of the NFL (or something like that) and the Bob's Band 45 - Score (The Theme to Monday Night Football).
