Let’s Gooo!! 🔥 Survivor “Eye of the Tiger” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@robborra8071]

This song was written for Rocky III, when Rocky lost his mojo and got whooped by Clubber Lang aka Mr T.. and he was trained by none other than Apollo Creed his opponent from Rocky & Rocky II...

[@zulkanainbaharuddin2185]

This was out b4 the Rocky Movie.

[@rexracer3221]

Originally Stallone wanted "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen as the theme for Rocky 3, but for whatever reason Queen wouldn't let him use their song. So Stallone comissioned Survivor to write "Eye of the Tiger". (The band was inspired by rough cuts scenes from Rocky 3)... And the rest is music history.

[@jessewainwright7982]

Queen is tough with all their copyright infringement b.s.

[@DrAdrenalineTO]

@@jessewainwright7982 yup, *cough* Vanilla Ice *cough*

[@melaniejordan1199]

Wow. Interesting!

[@JLSV1970]

I still thank Queen for that! How would we have this masterpiece if it weren't for that!

[@mikecaetano]

Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" was the theme song to the 1982 movie Rocky III in which Rocky fights to take back the title "Clubber" Lang took from him. I went to see it with some buddies on the last day of school that year. The song has out lived the movie to become a standard fight song. It was a number one hit for more than a month that year. I remember digging the introduction because it sounded like The Police "Bring on the Night" and Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen", but I also remember getting burned out on the song after hearing it on the radio too often.

[@chriswildhaber35]

I skipped school one of those days when the movie first came out, to see it with 1 of my friends, and we watched it at least 2 times that day especially being from Sacramento CA.

[@QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I love how the drums and guitars are like in the fight against each other. It's brilliant. This song makes you not want to quit on yourself.

[@CaryBeene]

"It's the cream of the fight." 🤣

[@John-tn7nm]

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.

I hope you guys are still reacting to music on this channel when you reach 90 years old. You two beautiful soulmates are simply the BEST. Thanks for sharing your sweet love and helping to brighten our days!

[@adrianbradley8513]

Jim Peterek who co wrote this song as a founder member of Survivor is still going strong with the AOR band Pride Of Lions I heartily recommend you listen to them. They sound just like Survivor and Journey did in the 80s even though Jim Peterek formed them in the 00s

[@billallen1307]

My daughter has her next scan on Valentine's day. Two years and 5 months into this battle with flHCC and 3 major surgeries and 1 cleanup surgery she is NED (no evidence of disease) and I hope to be able to say that after the 14th. This song can inspire one to continue fight when the odds are against you.

[@mamak2002]

Check out more Survivor when they brought in Jimi Jamison on lead vocals. Songs like, I can’t hold back, high on you and burning heart( from Rocky IV) great songs! RIP Jimi.

[@samseng9089]

This band, Survivor also had a song in the Rocky 4 soundtrack called ' Burning Heart ' Check it out 👍

[@kenqb5450]

Co-written by Jim Peterik, you need to check out when he was in Ides of March and the song "Vehicle".

[@no2all]

Jim also wrote a few songs for .38 Special. But "Vehicle" is one of my favorite in-your-face rock-n-roll songs with that big brass sound.

My Lieutenant at Fort Lewis used to play this song when we were doing the push-ups and sit-ups portion of the PT test, as a motivational tool. Everyone remembered it from the Rocky III workout montages! Keep up the good work, kids. I agree with my namesake, though, the live versions or even the videos are much more entertaining. 🙂

After the movie we went to the record shop and bought the 45. Played it so many time

Such a good song to get you moving. When I hear this song the movie comes to mind and I see Rocky working out. Good movie.

Leading up to the '84 Olympics in LA there were a number of pre-Olympic events around the US. I was in on and 'Eye of the Tiger' was playing everywhere you went. Definitely a result of the Rocky movie.

40 years 🎂. Written and produced by Jim Peterik and Frank Sullivan. 1 of 4 great songs from a 1982 movie 🎥 Music video was filmed in my hometown San Francisco 🌁 This is on Broadway Avenue up to Columbus Avenue. I walked over there many times. 🚶‍♂️ Not in the video. Across the street on the Columbus side is Lighthouse Books 📚. This is the bookstore where Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, the late Jack Kerouac and The Beatniks hung out. A few blocks north is St. Peter and Paul's Church. The Birds 🐦 and the music video to Jeopardy, written by Greg Kihn and the late Steve Wright, and many movies and TV shows were filmed. 🎥 Sylvester Stallone called Jim Peterik to write a song for the upcoming movie 🎥. He got bandmate and guitarist Frank Sullivan to write Eye of the Tiger 🐅, the last song written for the album, which is the same name. No film clips from the movie in the music video 😢 Too late to add: no Internet in 1982. Peterik cowrote 2 38 special songs. He and Sullivan wrote Caught Up in You with Don Barnes and Jeff Carlisi. Same year! 😃 Suggested next video 📹 38 Special plays Caught Up in You.
