Warren Wald: Warren Wald was a former "Pop Idol" contestant who became famous across Britain in 2003 after performing the 1980s hit song "Eye of the Tiger" in the "Pop Idol" auditions. Eye of the Tiger:  It was released as a single from their third album "Eye of the Tiger" and was also the theme song for the film "Rocky III", which was released a day before the single. Eye of the Tiger:  The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik and was done so at the request of "Rocky III" star, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, after Queen denied him permission to use "Another One Bites the Dust", the song Stallone intended as the "Rocky III" theme.
