Is Jessica Erin’s Song the New Bear Fight Song?

Well, probably not but Jessica’s catchy rocker “Chicago Bear Fan” seems to be the best of the lot this year and worth a listen. The current Super Bowl run has seen this town blissfully without the Fridgettes and the Super Bowl Shuffles and frankly all of the Bear related music that I have heard during the past few weeks has been downright lame. Erin’s My Space page says that she is from Chicago and it features a few fetching pictures of her in an Urlacher jersey. So if you like rockers who have a voice nearly as good as Christina Aguilera’s (without the flourishes – warning, the link has Christina belting out something or other) this is your Super Bowl XLI song, unless of course you happen to be a Colts fan. The Bear fight song “Bear Down Chicago Bears” was penned by Tin Pan Alley lyricist Al Hoffman, who used the pseudonym Jerry Downs. Hoffman also penned “Maizy Doats” and “Papa Loves Mambo” without using a pseudonym. See this Sun Times article about the Bear fight song.
