Not in play:

When I moved to the Chicago area in ‘89, and Ditka was still the Bears’ head coach, I listened to morning-drive DJ Jonathan Brandmeier while going to work. He played a parody version of “The Loco-Motion,” called “The Ditka-Motion,” which poked fun at Da Coach’s tendency to “adjust his package” while on the sidelines. 😃

“Your little baby brother, he can do it with ease  
Just grab your genitalia and give it a squeeze  
So, come on, come on, and do the Ditka-Motion with me”

Technically, Sirius is a star in the constellation Canis Major, from which it gets its nickname of ‘the Dog Star’

I realized it after I posted, but was in a rush to start the next topic. (Kinda like how a football team will rush to the next play to avoid allowing the opposing coach to throw his flag.)

In play:

**In memory of Mike Ditka, songs about football, bears, eagles, cowboys, or coaches**

1. Bear Down, Chicago Bears by Al Hoffman
2. Da Bears Still Suck, Happy Schnapps Combo
3. Numb Bears - Of Monsters and Men
4. Bears - Lyle Lovett
5. Tight End - DDG
6. Teddy Bear’s Picnic - Henry Hall & His Orchestra
7. Bears - Zebra
8. Super Bowl Shuffle - The Chicago Bears
9. Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys – Waylon and Willie
10. When the Saints Go Marching In - traditional arrangement

Can’t leave without mentioning his stint in NO.

**Spooky Songs - Songs about Halloween and associated things**

1. Witchy Woman - Eagles
2. Spooky – The Classics IV (w/Dennis Yost on vocals)

Title fits the category, and it also mentions Halloween –  
_Just like a ghost you’ve been haunting my dreams_  
_So I’ll propose on Halloween._  
_Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you._
