It’s the eye of the tiger.
The thrill of the fight.
Rising up to the challenge
of your rival.
Or so said the genius tunesmiths known around the world as SURVIVOR!
I have no idea what it means, but quoting it allows me to embed the video and if I do that people might not notice how few words I actually use!
But it is apt, since it’s the classic theme song associated with Rocky Balboa who is the glue that holds together the heroes of this post, as they are all his most mythic opponents:
Apollo Creed
Clubber Lang
Ivan Drago
For those of you not familiar with the with standard rules of FMK, feel free to stay that way, since we like to change them up here at The Question Is. Rather than the traditional categories of F***, Marry and Kill, today you are challenged to sort these three figures via:
Funk (Which one do you think you would have most likely caught dancing at a George Clinton concert.)
Marty (Which one you think would have a personal relationship with Martin Scorsese.)
Klinger (Which one do you think would attempt to get out of the army by pretending to be a transvestite.)
It may SEEM easy, but I would suggest that it is actually a much tougher decision than it would first appear. While you think about it, feel free to listen to Survivor’s OTHER great Rocky song.
Funk – Definitely Apollo Creed; I think he might join the guys on stage.
Marty – Drago, since I think he would have liked the extra celebrity cachet.
Klinger – Clubber Lang. All that jewelry? I rest my case.
Funk – Clubber Lang
Marty – Apollo Creed
Klinger – Ivan Drago
