Bears fans of a certain age know former middle linebacker Mike Singletary as “Samauri Mike.” Others have seen him in old game highlights, menacingly shouting, “We’re gonna be here all day” and “I like this kind of party.”
Very few, though, have seen him teach teammates how to line dance.
That’s what Singletary did during production of “The Super Bowl Shuffle,” the theme song of the 1985 Bears. For the 40th anniversary of that one-hit wonder, HBO and NFL Films partnered to produce the documentary “The Shuffle,” which gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the song and video came together, including Samauri’s schooling.
