another one bites the dust / eye of the tiger

[rocco]

So: everybody knows Sly wanted the hit single from Queen to be the theme of Rocky III, but he didn't get it. Then he asked Survivor for something very inspirational indeed and they came up with "eye of the tiger". Point is it doesn't take a musician to get the feeling the two song have much in common. I am not talking about similarities in the music or the metric or the lyrics, I am talking about the arrangment, which is the DNA of each and every song. I am referring expecially to the very beginning of both, I think the two intros have very much in common, expecially the "crescendo" effect with the Sinth.
What do you guys think about it?

I'm not a fan of anything Queen did. I'm glad it didn't pan out for Sly.

I MUCH prefer 'Eye of the Tiger', I have to say. Espechially for Rocky - it has generally more passion and power to my ears - and the melody is much more easier on the ear.

However, I ADORE Queen and Freddy Mercury. LOVE THEM!

Bum - I have no words....I just don't.
