Football players are drafted based on their athletic ability and not because they're great singers or dancers, so when NFL players make a music video it's almost guaranteed to be a train wreck.
Here's an assortment of music videos created by NFL teams in the 1980s- you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love the hilariously cheesy fun of it all!
1. Chicago Bears - Superbowl Shuffle (1985)
The 80s NFL music video trend began with the Chicago Bears doin’ the Superbowl Shuffle way back in 1985, and when the other squads saw the power of song and dance they all wanted to get on that express train to stardom.
2. Seattle Seahawks - Locker Room Rock (1985)
The Seattle Seahawks were following in the footsteps of the Bears when they released Locker Room Rock in 1985, but why did they feel the need to make a music video? “’Cause the Blue Wave is on a roll!”
3. and 4. The L. A. Rams - Ram It (1986) and The L.A. Raiders - Silver and Black Attack (1986)
Not to be outdone by the Bears and Seahawks, two Los Angeles based teams released their own rugged football fight songs- The L.A. Rams with “Ram It” and the L.A. Raiders with “Silver And Black Attack”.
The Ram’s song sounds a bit dirty, but they’re actually talking about, well, um....I'm not really sure what they're talking about, you're gonna have to decide for yourself on this one!
