News Rally songs gone wrong

Posted By on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 2:41 PM

With the release of Prince's ode to boys in "Purple & Gold" (no not Ques, the Minnesota Vikings), you have to know that celebrity fans of the three other teams left in this season's NFL playoffs will surely kick out songs to support their squad.

While none of them will be as high-profile as Prince, let's just hope MC No Name takes the time to look at some past rally song failures.

Remember when Lil Flip remixed his hit song "Game Over" for the Panthers Super Bowl run? Yeah, we lost that game (and probably should've just rocked with Petey Pablo's "Raise Up"). And as far as the teams' doing it themselves, the only team when the '85 Bears knocked out the "Super Bowl Shuffle."

Don't get me wrong, the song sucked (see below) and "Samurai" Mike Singletary (and a few other '85 Bears) should definitely have their rap card revoked, maybe even their black card. But everybody couldn't be like the University of Miami and just have Luke wear a bunch of your school logo and team colors in every music video surrounded by bouncing asses and super small bikinis.

The 1985 Chicago Bears - Super Bowl Shuffle - Granted they did say upfront "they were just shufflin' for fun" and weren't looking to cause any trouble, This video surely had to piss off their opponents (not enough to win I guess). Classic. Nothing extra needed. R.I.P. Walter Payton and God bless the 'Fridge.

1988 Florida State University Football Team - Seminole Rap - What happens when legendary football coach Bobby Bowden green lights a young, brash group of guys, led by Deion Sanders (who recorded one of my athlete-turned-rapper, guilty pleasures, "Must Be The Money") to shoot a music video? You get your ass handed to you by Miami the first week of the season! Take that.

Where they went wrong was completely biting the "Super Bowl Shuffle" and then ignoring the fact that they weren't playing a cupcake 1-AA squad the first game off the season. National Championship Hopes FAIL. On the bright side, you can see PrimeTime with a Jheri Curl that Eazy-E would be proud of and multiple inter-racial high fives (because that was what MLK wanted, right?) and oh yeah 2:51 is easily my favorite part (so homeboy just give me some dap, cuz I'm cold just bussin' the Seminole rap). Best verse of the song.
