Music Trivia - Game Thread

Quick recap of the rules:

Each player will have one question assigned to them per round. Answer your assigned question in the thread, and PM me the answers for all non-assigned questions. Correct answers for assigned questions are worth 10pts, and non-assigned are worth 3pts. There will be one bonus name that tune included in every round. Please guess the song in PM, and a correct guess will be worth 10pts. The questions were assigned at random, with the exception that I tried to make the rounds progressively harder (YMMV). You will have until 12pm EST tomorrow to answer this round's questions. Good luck! :)

Eye of the Tiger? (I'm afraid this one isn't right, cause 1985 sounds too late for it, but it's the only Survivor song I can think of associated with a Rocky movie.)
