Survivor is pissed that “Eye Of The Tiger” was used at a Kim Davis rally

the dudes from Survivor are really not cool with that. See, Davis and Huckabee used “Eye Of The Tiger” as the theme song for their homophobia pity party this afternoon, a move that was definitely not approved by the song’s co-writers, Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan. Peterik has released a statement to Billboard about the misuse of his motivational anthem:

I was very surprised and dismayed at the misuse of the song I co-wrote with Frankie Sullivan for Rocky lll. The song has motivated thousands through the years to reach beyond their limits. Its use for the release of Kim Davis does not support my views or my politics. I have contacted my publishers to make sure this usage is stopped immediately.

Sullivan’s response was less articulate, but arguably more passionate:



Cease and desist orders have reportedly been issued, and according to TMZ a lawsuit may be on its way. Clerks willing to file thosedocuments shouldn’t be too difficult to find.
