Go Bears! If you are looking for a little music to entertain the masses at your SuperBowl party you can download an mp3 of the Bears Fight Song on the Chicago Symphony Website by clicking here. The recording was made the last time Bears fever hit the nation.
From the CSO site
"Early in 1986 as the Chicago Bears football team approached an NFL championship, ‘Bears Fever’ delightfully invaded Orchestra Hall. At the end of a Tchaikovsky-Liszt orchestral concert with music director Sir Georg Solti conducting, applause kept the maestro returning to center stage. Suddenly, members of the Chicago Symphony Chorus—wearing Bears sweatshirts—streamed onstage, and Solti led the Orchestra and Chorus in a rousing rendition of the Bears’s fight song, ‘Bear Down, Chicago Bears.’ The audience joined in singing, and in the two repeats of the concert, the same thing happened with even more ‘performers’ onstage. Backstage people, Chicago Symphony Orchestra staff, and others—including Lady Valerie Solti—crowded in to sing along."
