Seems like everyone is raving about the Cobra Kai series right now, so what better time to jump waaay back to 1984 and discuss the original? It's The Karate Kid this week on The OST Party! This one is a personal favorite of Joe's, and we get into a lot of why this film still works so well some 36 years later.
And as popular as the film is, you'd think the soundtrack would be wall to wall bangers, right? Well, aside from Joe Esposito's "You're The Best", this soundtrack is surprisingly...dull. You probably know "You're The Best" was rejected from Rocky III in favor of Survivor's "Eye Of The Tiger". But did you know Survivor has a song on this album too? What if we told you theirs is the theme song for the movie??? Yeah, it's ridiculous. And we'll tell you all about it!
