A song you can’t get out of your head

Few teams have dominated the NFL like the 1985 Bears.

They won 15 of their 16 regular-season games and shut out the Giants and Rams in the playoffs before defeating the Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX.

Their defense was so commanding, ranking first in the NFL in points and yards allowed — that they revived the “Monsters of the Midway” nickname.

But it’s what the Bears’ last Super Bowl-winning team did off the field that truly transcended sports and culture.

“ ‘The Super Bowl Shuffle’ — for as much grief as I’ve taken over the past 30 years proving I can’t sing or dance — that really became part of the era of development in interest in sports off the field, not just on the field,” former Bears safety Gary Fencik said during the Bears100 Celebration Weekend in June.
