2 single of 1982, behind Olivia Newton-John's " Physical". 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks (the band's only song to top the chart) and was the No. It gained tremendous MTV and radio airplay and topped charts worldwide during 1982. "Eye of the Tiger" is written in the key of C minor.
The song is also the title song to the 1986 film of the same name. It features original Survivor singer Dave Bickler on lead vocals. The film version also contained tiger growls, which did not appear on the album version. The version of the song that appears in the film is the demo version of the song. The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik, and it was recorded at the request of Rocky III star, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, after Queen denied him permission to use " Another One Bites the Dust", the song Stallone intended as the Rocky III theme. It was released as a single from their third album of the same name and was also the theme song for the 1982 film Rocky III, which was released a day before the single. Fans who grew up with the films and are looking for a blast of nostalgia will have their nose broken (in a good, metaphorical kind of way) by this audio companion, while listeners who somehow managed to avoid getting on the Rocky train will wonder what all of the fuss was about." Eye of the Tiger" is a song by American rock band Survivor.
Luckily, there are no tracks from Stallone's lesser brother, Frank, who peppered the soundtrack to Rocky III with some truly dreadful disco/lounge abominations, but that didn't stop the producers from inserting Conti's equally detestable "Can't Stop the Fire" from Rocky V, which should have been replaced with Vince DiCola's "Training Montage" from Rocky IV. That means that for better or for worse, the listener gets an Italian Stallion jukebox stocked with '80s nuggets from Survivor, Robert Tepper, John Cafferty, and James Brown, as well as all of the key themes from the baton of Conti. By turning Rocky Balboa into a "greatest-hits" collection, Stallone has preserved the American icon in amber without injecting any botox into him, despite the unnecessary inclusion of "panic buttons" like "It's a Fight" by Three 6 Mafia and a remix by John X and Natalie Wilde of composer Bill Conti's timeless "Gonna Fly Now" theme. The soundtrack for Rocky Balboa, the sixth and final installment in Sylvester Stallone's seemingly endless boxing epic, eschews the usual mixture of new score and hip mainstream acts for a museum of old cues and acts that were once mainstream.
