Best "Eye of the Tiger" Cover Ever?!

[@JimPeterikRocks]

I must have heard upwards of 1000 covers of "Eye of the Tiger" since it came out by Survivor. When I wrote it with Frankie I did not predict the longevity of this anthem and the amount of various versions (including Weird Al Yankovic’s great parody "Rye Or the Kaiser" -- “Do you want your corned beef on the rye or the Kaiser?” Lol! I just watched a version that turned my head around and opened my eyes and ears. Performed by a band called Walk Off the Earth. This young conglomerate totally reinvents the song to a kind of island/reggae pop. And it works!! It never sounds corny or inappropriate. And it totally cooks. The genuine joy on your faces really comes through in the groove and the music. Congrats guys and doll for an awesome job. Jim Peterik, Co-writer of "Eye of the Tiger" and member of The Ides of March, formerly of Survivor and of 38 Special fame.

[@walkofftheearth]

Jim. Thanks so much for this message and thank you for writing Such an incredible and timeless song. Wote.

Makes me want to cry. I feel so proud and I'm not even part of the band.

[@denisespeight40]

High praise and well deserved. Walk off the Earth's monstrously talented members have this fantastic way of taking an amazing song and just bringing it to a whole other level as well as writing their own "best-part-of-home vibe" tunes.

Survivor sold 956.000 copies in the UK alone. I'm not downplaying the talented musicians that produced this cover version - but neither should you up-play it to be something that will ever reach the merits of the original. It's a great cover version by these talented musicians - however I'm sure they don't expect us to compare it to the original.
