The Classics

Tina Turner
The Best

She may not be an athlete, but no one can deny TT embodies the Olympian spirit: surviving through the good times and the bad, highly decorated and successful. She is of course…Simply The Best.


Survivor
Eye Of The Tiger

Rocky, Hulk Hogan; this song is the theme tune of choice for all up and coming heroes. The passion of one of the mightiest creatures of the animal kingdom compressed into spandex and thrashed out through million watt amplifiers…ROAR. Do you have the Eye Of The Tiger?



John Williams
Chariots Of Fire (Theme)

An Olympian classic. This is the time to turn up your speakers and feel the fervor as you run very slowly around the room, making exaggerated facial expressions as, grimacing and exhausted, you cross the finishing line. You’re a winner. Yes you are.


Bonnie Tyler
Holding Out For A Hero

Can anyone honestly say they haven't sung, wailed or screeched along to this epic anthem from the Welsh wonder? It appeals to basic instincts in all of us: love, passion and now Monday morning karaoke.
