Bear down!
Friday, Feb 2, 2007 - Posted by Rich Miller I love our fight song.
And so the other day I went looking for versions of the song at YouTube to post on our last work day before the Super Bowl. This, in my opinion, is how a real Chicagoan sings Bear Down… Embedding has been disabled on this one, but it’ll warm the hearts of cute baby lovers everywhere. Click on the pic to watch…  The immigrant version… Cinéma Vérité… Kind of a punky/jazzy version from Manic Sewing Circle… What collection of Bear Down versions could be complete without singing sock-puppet chickens?… OK, this last one isn’t for everyone, but it’s so flat-out bizarre that I just had to post it. Some of the language renders it NOT SAFE FOR WORK, so please DON’T click on it if you’re at work and could get in trouble. And, seriously, it’s pretty weird. Consider yourself warned… Go Bears! Anybody got a ticket? I need a miracle!

Thanks, Phocion, but I posted that last month.

That last You-Tube bearded guy looks suspiciously like a certain bearded political pundit we all know…

lose the T formation line, it is dated and obsolete

Are those state ID’s hanging from the neck of the guy in the first video? That sure looks like it could have been filmed in the tunnel between the statehouse and the Howlett building.
More fun and frivolity in Springfield!

I’ll bet Bill could get you a ticket, if you eased up on him a little bit.

I hear that Bears fans are flooding Miami and will have a 3 or 4 to 1 edge in fans at the game. A typical big market - small market response, but the Bears will enjoy the home town cheering.
Bears 31-27, with Peyton Manning looking like Y.A Tiddle at the end of the Bears’ 72-0 championship romp in the days of old….

Go Bears! We are going to romp and stomp those artificial turf dome playing wussies.

The punk jazzy version is a little perplexing. And I could have sworn I saw Rerun from What’s Happening dancing on the stage with them.

Thanks, Rich. I owe you, but sorry, no ticket.
I can’t wait. I wish the game was tonight!
GO BEARS!

Elvis didn’t make the cut Rich? I thought it was funny enough, although these are very good too.
I’ll be singing along in Miami btw, not to rub it in too much. Section 125, Row 20, Seats 16, 17 and 18.
Go Bears!
