Trivia: What animal-inspired song is the theme for “Rocky III”?
Wrath of the Bear
Roar of the Lion
Eye of the Tiger
Fight like a Bear
The correct answer is Eye of the Tiger
So why is this answer correct? : In the summer of 1982, “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, the theme from “Rocky III,” started its six-week reign at the top of the Billboard pop chart. Sylvester Stallone, the movie’s director, writer, and star, instructed the Chicago-area bar band to come up with something “with a strong beat that would appeal to the rock crowd.” This wasn’t the first hit for the movie franchise — “Gonna Fly Now (Theme from ‘Rocky’)” reached No. 1 in 1977.
