Cutty! The legend of Jay Cutler continues to grow. The Chicago Bears quarterback is throwing an ’80s-themed dance party and you — yes, you! — can go!
It’s July 18 at Joe’s Bar in Chicago and yes, it’s open to the public. Proceeds will go to benefit the Jay Cutler Foundation. Tickets are $59 or, if you’re a high roller or the type of person who wants to get close to Cutty! to punch him in the face, you can get VIP for $175.
And here’s the best part — live performance by Billy Ocean! No, not Billy Idol. Not Billy Squier. Not any other ’80s Billy that actually rocks. Billy Ocean! That is so Cutty!
Who the fuck is Billy Ocean? Why, he’s the genius that brought us classics such this.
Still not intrigued? Here’s the event description.
NFL fans will have the chance to revisit the iconic ‘80s with Jay Cutler and his bride Kristin Cavallari at Joe’s Bar on Weed Street on July 18. Don on your best ‘80s-inspired, brightly colored ensemble to this party benefiting a noble cause.
This three-hour bash featuring an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, a DJ spinning danceable tunes and a special performance from Billy Ocean best known for hits “Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car” and “Caribbean Queen.” The best part: 80% of the purchase price of tickets will benefit the Jay Cutler Foundation, which works to help both underprivileged children and individuals with diabetes. This is going to be a party sports fans (and all Chicagoans) will remember.
So who’s in!?

The 80s were so fucked up the Bears won a Superbowl. Who would want to celebrate such a retched decade.
It’s for charity you hearless bastard. Can you really find nothing else to write about besides hating on someone wh actually donates his time, effort and money to charity in the offseason. Wow. Maybe you should donate time to a charity, instead of wasting it on writing garbage like this.
Nothing worse than being a ‘hearless’ bastard.
And speaking of wasting time writing on this…
Fucking Bears fans.
There is nothing 80s about cutty’s apparell. That shirt is pure 70s.
Billy Ocean? Terrible execution.
There are a lot of things I like about the 80s. Duran Duran, Gos Gos, early Billy Idol.Its not terribly great music, but it’s fun. If you wan quintessential 80s, I submit a song named after thhat decade by Killing Joke.
THAT my friends is the 1980s.
I can understand how he might not be ablet to get these a listers, but why not say Animotion (Obession) or Soft Cell (Tainted Love) or some other one wit wonder that people outside of a special needs class actually like.
Killing Joke was awesome
Hey, great song, great video.
Best decade for music, easily. Michael Jackson, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Tina Turner, Lionel Ritchie, the Police, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Huey Lewis, Prince, Phil Collins… shit, the list is endless.
Billy Ocean is pretty good. I’d take him over Billy Squire any day. Not over Billy Idol though.
Yeah, and MTV actually showed videos back then.
Not sure what Monty’s obsession with Cutty is, but it is a slow time for football, unless someone is shooting somebody.
While there certainly was a wee bit of decent music that came out of that decade, that fucking song has never been accused of being included in the group. Great song? Great video? Surely, you jest?
The usage of the word great is perhaps a little overly sanguine, but I have always found the video and song quite enjoyable.
Good god NO! I have been trying to get that piece of shit out of my ever since reading about it.
There’s a god damn cartoon fucking duck in there. WTF, over.
