Survivor vs. Weird Al Yankovic

 Link: [Survivor]


Eye of the Tiger
Survivor
Risin’ up
Back on the street
Did my time
Took my chances
Went the distance
Now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times
It happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip
On the dreams of the past
You must fight
Just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ 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

Face to face
Out in the heat
Hangin’ tough
Stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds
Until we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ 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

Risin’ up
Straight to the top
Had the guts
Got the glory
Went the distance
Now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last know survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye
Of the tiger



Theme From Rocky XIII (The Rye or The Kaiser)
Weird Al Yankovic
Fat and weak
What a disgrace
Guess the champ got too lazy
Ain’t gonna fly now
He’s just takin’ up space
Sold his gloves
Threw his eggs down the drain
But he’s no bum
He works down the street
He bought the neighborhood deli
Back on his feet
Now he’s choppin’ up meat
Come inside
Maybe you’ll hear him say

Try the rye or the kaiser
They’re on special tonight
If you want
You can have an appetizer
You might like our salami
And the liver’s all right
And they’d really go well with the rye
Or the kaiser

Never eats
While on the job
He heard it’s good
To stay hungry
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob
Have a taste
They were made fresh today

Try the rye or the kaiser
Or the wheat or the white
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer
Say away from the tuna
It smells funny tonight
But you just can’t go wrong with the rye
Or the kaiser

So today
His deli comes first
Still he dreams of his
Past days of glory
Goes in the back
And beats up on the liverwurst
All the while you can still hear him say

It’s the rye or the kaiser
It’s the thrill of one bite
Let me please
Be your catering adviser
If you want substitutions
I won’t put up a fight
You can have your roast beef on the rye
Or the kaiser

The rye or the kaiser

The rye or the kaiser

The rye or the kaiser

  4. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Toyin!!! They did have several really good songs, and "Eye of the Tiger" will undoubtedly survive on the radio until the time for this world to come to an end.
