Chicago Bears fight song...and we do have one....


I've enjoyed all the games I've seen at Soldier Field this year, mainly because the weather was beautiful for all of them and well....we won.
Like any home football team, the "Midway Monsters" have their rituals. After every Bear score, the team fight song: "Bear Down" is played on the Megavision screens with "sing-a-long" words at the bottom. Now, our first few games we kind of la-la-lah'd our way through it, but I was determined and took the lead. We would know the words to this song and sing with everybody.

After much research (too much) I knew the song as well as the Penn State fight song:"Fight on State." So, for all my Saint's family down in New Orleans, this is a song you will not want to hear repeatedly on Sunday....because that means...HELLO! We're scoring.

For everyone that knows: "When the Saints Go Marching In", this is: "Bear Down!" performed by Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony & Chorus 1986:

  • "BEAR DOWN!"

  • Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
    Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
    We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
    Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown.
    You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.


    OR....who could ever forget "The Super Bowl Shuffle" performed by the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears:

  • "SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE"



  • Staley- The "Chicago Bears" mascot
