"Eye of the Tiger" is a song by American rock band Survivor.
It was
released as a single from their third album of the same name and was also the
theme song for the 1982 film Rocky III, which was released a day before the
single.
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.
The version
of the song that appears in the film is the demo version of the song. The film
version also contained tiger growls, which did not appear on the album version.
It features original Survivor singer Dave Bickler on lead vocals.
The song is
also the title song to the 1986 film of the same name. "Eye of the
Tiger" is written in the key of C minor.
