Eye of the tiger song

[53' Stude]

This song came out in 1982. I was pretty young but remember hearing it later. Great song. Anyone else remember this hit?

I got a 1980s station on my car radio. They play that dang song at least once every wo hours.

One hit number!!!

Always turn that one up a bit when the radio station plays it.. I was a young guy and in my prime when that song came out.

I remember first hearing it when I went to see Rocky III. Theater had Dolby sound and it was amazing. I know a lot of People don't like the song.

 

[Dave Hess]

Yep, awesome movie and song.

I loved Survivor but unfortunately their lead singer passed away from a heart attack. They had lots of radio hits back in the 80’s. When I hear Survivor on the radio today..... it’s like Im instantly taken back in time.

One year when I was in high school the football team played that for their entrance music. They proceeded to lose pretty much every game. When I pointed out to one of them that it wasn't working and maybe they should find a new song I was told it pumped them up and I wouldn't understand.

I remember a coworker Mike who was working the frozen food section at Winn Dixie said at the time he thought he needed to listen to "Eye of the Tiger" before coming into work to get pumped up enough to try to get all his work done....

This song has one of the best intro parts to a song I have ever heard. Number #1 for me is the intro to "Money for Nothing" intro by Dire Straights...

Jim Peterik from Survivor's first band was The Ide's of March (later changed to The "Ides" of March), one of my faves!!

It's still played on the radio. Obviously depends on the station as to how often it's played though.

True indeed Hall...

In my area there's a radio station Bob fm 93.7 that plays music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and the 10s..... 6 decades worth of music. They play the all time great songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s....

Vehicle!

I’ll take you any place you want to go!

 

[AutoMechanic]

I wasn’t around when it was released but it’s a good song. I like it.

Vehicle!

I'd mentioned this one time I think in the What Are You Listening To Know thread about that song, really interesting!! Jim Peterik wrote "Vehicle" when he was in high school. There was this girl he liked. She always wanted him to drive her around, give her rides, and take her places in his car, but would otherwise never give him the time of day, and that all he was to her was her "Vehicle". She just basically used him for his car.

He was a hell of a song writer!!

Here's the a and b sides of the very first Ides of March 45 (as the I'des of March) from 1965. My two favorite songs by them.

I wasn't born until 2002, but heard it plenty, good song.
