Request Line: NFC North

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are once again burning brightly.  Though, as usual, it remains completely silent.  DJ 3000′ boots up…

…to see HUNTER RENFROW once again sitting on the couch.  This time, however, instead of a textbook, Hunter is holding a video game controller.

HUNTER RENFROW: [glancing up from where he is playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree on a Playstation that is set up on one of the office monitors] Hey.

DJ 3000′: I SEE YOU HAVE SETTLED INTO SUMMER QUITE NICELY.

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, just trying to unwind a bit from finals week.

DJ 3000′: THAT ENDED OVER A WEEK AGO.

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, well, you know…

— [computer monitor on an adjacent desk flies open] —

GHOST OF JIM IRSAY: Can we please play Rockstar Hero now?

DJ 3000′: YOU MEAN GUITAR HERO?

HUNTER RENFROW: [not looking up from his game] I keep telling him that’s what it’s called, but he can’t seem to retain it.  He’s like Dixie Flatline in Neuromancer – one of those ROM constructs.

GHOST OF JIM IRSAY: Yeah, that thing. Guitar Star.

HUNTER RENFROW: I don’t understand why you even want to play, it’s not like you can affect the physical world. And you definitely don’t want to hear me play, I can barely get past the Beginner levels.

DJ 3000′: JIM IF YOU WANT I CAN JUST PLAY SOME REGULAR MUSIC.

GHOST OF JIM IRSAY: [mollified or maybe tranquilized it’s genuinely hard to tell] I guess that’d be okay.  What have you got?

DJ 3000′: WELL, IT’S TIME FOR REQUEST LINE.  AND SINCE HUNTER CAN’T BE BOTHERED TO THINK UP A TOPIC…

HUNTER RENFROW: [glances up from his game irritably]

DJ 3000′: …IT’S TIME TO GO AHEAD WITH ANOTHER NFL DIVISION.

GHOST OF JIM IRSAY: Which would be?

DJ 3000′: THE GREAT WHITE NFC NORTH.

GHOST OF JIM IRSAY: Okay, so we’ve got the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, and…maybe you can get us started with a little tribute to the Minnesota Vikings?

DJ 3000′: READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR, BUDDY.  LET’S GET THE LED OUT ON THREE…TWO…ONE…

Today’s theme is the NFC North.  We’re looking for songs that have anything to do with Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions, or the Green Bay Packers.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?j0hNnyW4rM4n” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Bolero” composed by Maurice Ravel was solved by SonOfSpam. It’s mosquito season in the Midwest, so let’s get humming!

Not many songs about Green Bay, so Milwaukee will have to do.

I’m thinking the artist had a rough time in elementary school…

This has nothing to do with the theme, but if you think I’m gonna miss out on posting a great version of this song done by a sweet young thing with a Southern twang and exposed shoulders when Hippo is right there well, you are very, very wrong.

And just looked the band up and she died of cancer at age 28.

Well, time to go drink bleach.

Might as well be the national anthem for Bears fans.

Much better than the festival Najeh Davenport proposed.

You gotta move pretty fast to beat BRL on these.

BeefReeferLives

He truly is a National Treasure…

BeefReeferLives

Whelp, it’s been an hour. & even though I think GumbyGirl got it, since RTD hasn’t replied in the affirmative, I’m going to hazard a guess that this is the puzzle song:

Not sure why The Mighty Mighty Bosstones would do this song, but here we are.

FACK YOU

The best thing about Katrina and the Waves is that they wrote “Going Down to Liverpool” and then The Bangles did a cover with Leonard Nimoy in the video.

Still pissed at drugs for taking Scott Weiland and like Philip Seymour Hoffman but not RFK Jr.

“I got a gal, wears her toenails long
Drives a red Barracuda, singin’ meat packer songs”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dk9RS9mxHQ&list=RD8dk9RS9mxHQ&start_radio=1

yeah right

I like to think of all the sad little Lions fans whenever the Vikings beat them by playing this song.

Minnesota in the lyrics

If you lived in the Chicagoland area in the 80ies, you may remember J. Brandmeier from WLUP playing this lil number about the Illinois / Wisconsin love & mutual respect.

I love any song that starts out “Dreamed about killin you again last night and it felt alright to me” but also Wilco rules

Absolutely love that they made this song out of a few scraps of lyrics from Martin’s GoT books. Tore it up.
