In our family car we had about five or six cassette tapes that we listened to. A couple jazz, gospel and Disney tapes. One of them also was a Rocky 4 soundtrack that we constantly played over and over. Aside from the over used trope of montages in the series, this particular song was interesting to me because of the amount of percussion and rhythmic combinations used. Again, I listened to it so much that I could sing each part separately and even kind of play it on the arm rest in the car. This was also one of the few times I started to notice differences between an album and movie version of a piece of music. These particular differences are pretty blatant, but others weren't so obvious as a kid. I personally like the album version better (on the right), but I still own both regardless. Won't I loved every Rocky movie, but a lot of the scenes were great and very emotional for me then and even now. I still warm up with this track every once in a while to get pumped up.
