The Rams are back in L.A.! So let's RAM IT like the 1986 Rams.
After the amazing success of the '85 Bears' legendary "Super Bowl Shuffle," sports teams across all leagues stared cashing in with their own imitations. The Rams weren't shy from taking a shot, and created the glory that is "Ram It."
Instead of the cheap studio set of the "Super Bowl Shuffle," the Rams took advantage of Anaheim Stadium as a the backdrop and also employed the help of their cheerleaders. This is Hollywood, baby! Ya gotta have some production value. Although the song doesn't hold a candle to the Bears' (it's hard to without Willie Gault's verse from "Shuffle"), Jackie Slater (#78) at least puts a little more effort into faking the sax playing more than the Bears do in their video.
And just when you thought "Ram It" couldn't get any better, the guys over at the Found Footage Festival uncovered this making-of, featuring footage from the recording studio and their work on the set with a Totally 80s choreographer trainer.
"If I had to do it all over again, even considering the amount of hours we put into it, I would do it again because I know it's going to be a quality product," defensive end Gary Jeter says in the clip. "We put in a tremendous amount of work today and I'm sure it's going to show in the video."
Oh it does, Gary Jeter. It does.
