Farley “Jackmaster” Funk, a Chicago native, holds the esteemed title of the King of House Music.

Besides his musical acclaim, Farley is a passionate fan of the Chicago Bears and has composed a new anthem for this season’s team, famously known as the Monsters of the Midway.

In a conversation with ABC7, the renowned DJ shared insights into the theme song he crafted, which he aspires will resonate all the way to the Super Bowl.

Growing up on the South Side, Farley made his mark in the music world through club performances, radio shows, and recordings.

He envisions his Bears anthem becoming synonymous with championship victory.

Farley welcomed ABC7 to his “mobile studio,” fit for the king of funk sound.

“Being a lifelong Bear fan, and them playing with my emotions, it’s one of those things. Man, we’re back!” Farley said. “This one… is for the fans, this song here is the stadium rock where everybody stands up… So I’ve created something that all our fans can. We can be on one accord together and cheer for our team.”

This season’s Bears team seems like something that people have really been waiting for, a kind of redemption.

“It’s going to take a lot to live up to the charisma of the ’85,” Farley said. “Almost all of them were at the top of their game, and it was it was a team effort, just like it is now. I’m 63, so of course that was the beginning of House Music, ’85, ’86, … seeing Walter Payton and the Bears playing the game. Now, I gotta do something to commemorate this team.”

Farley spoke about his hope and dream for this for his new song.

“This song is timeless, because as long as you like football and as long as you like the Bears, love the Bears… We are the Bears,” Farley said. “The fans will have their hands in the air and we will be screaming, we are the bears all the way, all the way.”

A music video is in the works with the anthem, and it will soon be available on a website.

Part of the proceeds will go to charities.
