With good reason, the Chicago Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle” is easily the most popular sports music video that has ever been put to film. As any smart American knows though, just because something is the most popular, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best. Sure, it/he/she may have made the most money, won the most awards, or conracted the most herpes, but “great popularity” does not equate to “the best.”

Where was I? Ah yes. Sports music videos. It may just be my opinion, but these pair of music videos penned, recorded and directed by sporting teams are the best of their kind:

“Red Hot” (performed by the 1987 Calgary Flames)

If words fail you, fear not, for you are surely not the first. From the horns in the beginning, to a youthful Jeremy Roenick, to the utter lack of enthusiasm near the end, this is simply a tour de force. I find myself humming the horns section every morning while I’m taking a shower. And can you believe the stunning special effects?! Adios mio, esta incredible! It’s true, you may be able to climb the highest mountain, but how do you touch a flame when it’s RED HOT?! Especially when you are fake playing a trumpet?!

“Untitled” (Performed by a late 1980s Arizona Wildcats basketball team)

Shit man, where do I even begin. This is full of classic players, including Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr, Tom Tolbert and Don McLean. There is an underlying “Don’t do drugs” current and it even features a 1980s special effect making head coach Lute Olsen do a pissed off double take. My favorite line has to be Kerr’s, when he goes, “I’ll hit it from three-point laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand … ” Incredible stuff. Enjoy and post more classic videos in the comments or in the sports forum.
