10 Best Rock Songs For Working Out
7. Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
A favorite walkout track of UFC fighters and montages in comedy films, it was a tough choice whether to go with Eye of the Tiger or Gonna Fly Now. But ultimately, we absolutely had to include something from the Rocky series, and Survivor's Eye of the Tiger it is, just by a nose.
Eye of the Tiger was actually the theme song from 1982's Rocky III, though most tend to just associate it with Rocky, period.
Why'd we include this one? For starters, the song has the right beat. It'll definitely get you to work up a sweat. And as for Rocky, well after all, it's a sports film full of montages and motivational moments that has been quoted, referenced, and spoofed countless times over the decades. Yet the original (and to be fair, Rocky Balboa, which book-ended the series) still hold up to the test of time.
Let's just forget all about Rocky V though, deal?
In any case, Eye of the Tiger is one case where the lyrics should absolutely get you going.
It's the eye of the tiger / It's the thrill of the fight / Rising up to the challenge of our rival / And the last known survivor / Stalks his prey in the night / And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger.
