"Eye of the tiger " was performed by the american rock band Survivor in 1982 which was used in the theme song for the movie " Rocky III " starring Sylvestress Stalone I mean Sylvester Stallone. The movie version features tiger growls while the album version doesn't . Sylvester Stallone tried to use "Another one bites the dust " by Queen, but he couldn't get the publishing rights so he had to go with "Eye of the Tiger" which actually goes better with the movie I think. It makes me think of names , you know how people you know suit the name they've been given, like I think of friends and family and I can't imagine them by any other name..it would be really bizarre if they had any other name.
When I hear this I just think about climbing up hundreds of stairs( like in the movie) and when I get to the top right there waiting for me is a huge giant Cadbury's Chocolate Easter Egg Bunny with boxing gloves looking very tasty. On a more sentimental level it makes me think of the family trip to Simon's town which wasn't far away from Cape Town and going to Scratch Patch where we could pick up gem stones and buy what we chose and I remember picking the tiger's eye . Apparently this symbolizes determination , patience , clear thinking and focus. It also has many healing properties such as calming the mind. Where is my tiger's eye when I need it?think I need to locate it when I go back to South Africa on holiday!!
Anyway great song , very motivational! and here it is below:
