A and B. It's a great song by itself. It fits perfectly in the movie. It's the whole theme of the movie, really. Rocky loses his edge. He's gotta get it back...the eye of the tiger!

The right song for a bad movie. I don't know, I guess Rocky III's okay, right? It's been a minute.

"EotT" is definitely the blueprint for the 80's "You can do it" movie theme song. And the first riff I ever learned to (sort of) play.

It's super dated but I guess it's stood the test of time. If there's a training montage in just about anything, they play that song.

Didn't think I'd be praising Survivor today but these are strange times.

Burning Heart >>> Eye of the Tiger

The entire Rocky IV soundtrack is amazing.

…intro song for when I enter a room?

Yes

Yes

Not the 80's movie song I would've picked for you.

I’ve been in a huge Survivor rabbit whole lately. My 7 year old self hearing EoT I would have told you it was the greatest song ever created. Maybe it was just the perfect song for the right movie. Listening to the song now, without the movie connotation, it’s a strong Survivor song but not the best of their entire catalog. Bummer for Dave Bickler’s bank account as he did not write it.

great song!!

It's corny perfection. Is it a great song by itself? Ehhh, maybe not. But it was the right song at the right time. It fits the movie perfectly, and it's catchy and memorable. Even people who have never seen Rocky III know the song.

Play it all the time in the dressing room for my hockey team. The guys love it

An even better song is "No Easy Way Out"

They're both great, but "Eye of the Tiger" is just iconic. Ironically, I just heard "Burning Heart" a couple of days ago on the SiriusXM 80's on 8 top 40 countdown where it got stuck at #2 behind "That's What Friends Are For"...

This!

I hate that song. They should have used Physical by Olivia Newton -John instead.

Its the Italian American National Anthem. Every wannabe goombah with an Italian great-great grandparent is ready to thrown hands when this one comes on
