"11 Dancers Dancing..."

First, just watch...if you can:



First time watching this I had to stop right after Taj Gibson's "3 blocked shots" verse to regain my composure.  Is this the worst team song/video ever?  At first I thought it might be until I checked YouTube and Wikipedia for other disasters.  There were a lot.

Obviously the gold standard is the Super Bowl Shuffle.  It was unique, the '85 Bears had true characters, and, most importantly, they backed it up!!

For instance, there's this disaster recorded by the Raiders in 1986 who went on to an 8-8 record that year:



Wow, was that bad.

But much much much worse is this utter embarrassment put out by New England (not the players but close enough) in response to the '85 Bears masterpiece and leading up to Super Bowl XX:



Yuck.


So as you can see the Bulls' "12 Days of Christmas" isn't nearly as bad as it could've been.  But I still have a few observations:

*Luol Deng: "10 buzzer beaters".  I searched "Luol Deng Buzzer Beater" on YouTube and there were 32 results (Jordan had over 1,800) only ONE of which was a semi buzzer-beater.  A tip-in to tie and force OT.
--should've been: "10 line drive jumpers"
*Keith Bogans: "11 dancers dancing".  Sound more un-interested?  No.

*James Johnson...Oh, dear James Johnson:  "8 Taking Charges".  First, what is a "taking charge"?  Really?  c'mon man...and why did he feel it was necessary to hit that high C? 
 --should've been: "8 high fives"
*Kurt Thomas: "7 back massages".  Ok, we get it.  He's old. I have to know who wrote these lyrics!
--should've been:  "7 forearm shivers"
*Ronnie Brewer's shot is even uglier close-up


Where was Scalabrine, or more importantly, Omer Asik????

Good effort though.  Joakim Noah's awkward chomp smile saved the day

  1. That New England song is easily the worst I've ever seen. The Patriots and "WE"? Amazing. This one is pretty bad, too.
