Before the start of the 1986 season, inspired by the Chicago Bears success with its song Super Bowl Shuffle, members of the San Francisco 49ers recorded the song We’re The 49ers. The song was released as a 45RPM single on Megatone Records. It mixed elements of R&B, funk, and pop. Vocals were provided by 49ers including Roger Craig, Dwight Clark and Ronnie Lott (Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were noticeably absent). While achieving some local airplay in San Francisco on radio stations like KMEL, it did not catch on nationally like the Super Bowl Shuffle had earlier in the year.
