Eye of the Tiger

"Eye of the Tiger" is a song by the American rock band Survivor. It was written by Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik as the theme song for the 1982 film Rocky III and released that May as a single from Survivor's third album, Eye of the Tiger. It combines hard rock with a post-disco beat. Sylvester Stallone, the director and star of Rocky III, enlisted Survivor after Queen denied him permission to use their song "Another One Bites the Dust".
