Just when you thought it was safe to watch TV without seeing a cheesy, sports-themed music video, Boost Mobile has revived one of the most ridiculous acts in all of sports. This Sunday, in a Super Bowl advertisement for the new Boost Mobile Shuffle, the phone company will trot out Mike Ditka, Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary and Willie Gault in a recreation of the Super Bowl Shuffle -- a charity-based music video by the Chicago Bears that turns 25 this year.
The Shufflin’ Crew returns 25 years later
If you’ve never seen the original Super Bowl Shuffle, it’s just as goofy now as it was a quarter-century ago, and I can only imagine how ridiculous its remake will look all these years later. If TV execs can screw up the Mean Joe Greene coke commercial -- which they absolutely did with Troy Polamalu -- then it’s hard to have much hope for the new ad.
