Eye of the Tiger but it’s lockwood & co fighting for their lives (and just barely surviving)

Lol! I love Kamala’s “Eye of the Tiger” t-shirt here!

Does anyone else hear the classic song of the same name by Survivor playing in their head while reading this scene?

From Ms. Marvel (2014) #13 by G. Willow Wilson & Takeshi Miyazawa.

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor - 1982

[ask-sebastian]

Let's start with what makes me think of a certain supernatural beings hunter 😌

Representing the classic rock! YES! I have a deep, deep love for classic rock. It's what my parents played for me constantly from the time I was just a wee babe, so it is absolutely my musical foundation.

The guitar in this one just does things to me.

No Easy Come Down

80's movies week, still.

That little intro to When Your Walls Come Down always sounded to me like No Easy Way Out by John Tepper from the Rocky IV soundtrack (1). You know, from the sequence where Sylvester Stallone, quite agitated, races through the streets in his Lamborghini Jalpa 3500 and reflects in a wonderful video montage deeply about the past.

There was also this little middle sequence in which he apparently finds himself in a certain limbo for a few moments after this strainful rollercoaster of emotions, accompanied by this with that catchy playful echo picking, or whatever real musicians call it (2).

No matter how far-fetched this may sound, I know this stylistic device was already popularized at the time by Pink Floyd's The Wall (1979), but also, and lo and behold, by Survivor's Eye of the Tiger (1982) for a presumably even wider audience, which gives us the second accurate reference to a Rocky movie. Add Sword and Stone's more than coincidental similarities to Survivor's Burning Heart from the Rocky IV soundtrack, and I think with probabability itself I've gained a loyal ally on my side.

And I'm not even mentioning the similarity in meaning between the two song titles, if you just think about it in a broader context.

Side Note:

(1) Let's all be honest for a moment, it can't be that I'm the only person on this planet who has thought this thought for the past 30 years and more? Isn't it terrible to have a notion in your head over such a long period of time while listening to a particular piece of music and never ever pronounce it?

(2) I have no idea what it's called, I do make music occasionally and play one instrument or another, but I'm pretty sure I'm a lifetime away from being able to call myself a musician.

Highlighted links should be as natural as Rocky's swollen eyes after a fight:

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (1982)

“Eye of the Tiger”, the most well-known song by Survivor, held the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks in the summer of 1982 and topped charts in several other countries including Canada, Japan, Norway, Finland and the UK. It also won the band a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo Or Group with Vocal.

Written by guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik, the lyrics describe someone training hard to overcome hardships – fitting well its original intention, over the training montage in the film Rocky III. It has since become an anthem of sports events, particularly fighting ones, and is tied with “Gonna Fly Now” for Rocky Balboa’s theme song.

According to The Billboard Book Of Number 1 Hits, within 90 minutes of seeing an early tape of the film, the band had the song written. They based the title and lyrics on a line repeated several times by a boxing trainer in the film – “eye of the tiger.”

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, found some of the first AMVs I ever watched. Stumbled into the Deer Dance one, and it made me remember the Eye of the Tiger one. I have vivid memories of trying to convince my friends that me and my cousin made the latter. (100% not true) XD Brings back memories of sitting around my Frakenway, letting videos buffer for like 200x their length. Positive I saw the EotT vid on another platform, pre-youtube, so I probably still had People PC dial up. There is a decent chance the Deer Dance one is what got me into System of a Down. Mesmerize and Hypnotize had put them on my radar, but it was listening to Toxicity that reeeeeeally got me into them.
