Super Bowl Shuffle documentary debuts tonight

A new documentary titled "The Shuffle" premieres tonight on HBO and HBO Max, revisiting the making of the 1985 Chicago Bears' music video for "The Super Bowl Shuffle." The video, produced amid the team's rise to fame, featured players performing a rap song that gained significant attention, reaching No. 41 on Billboard's Hot 100 and securing a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. Notably, Bears running back Walter Payton and quarterback Jim McMahon initially skipped the video shoot, objecting to the timing following a loss to Miami, leading to their scenes being filmed later and added to the final cut. The Bears reinforced their confidence by advancing to and winning the Super Bowl that season.
