Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.
Rocky - Gonna Fly Now
"Gonna Fly Now", also known as "Theme from Rocky", is the theme song from the movie Rocky, composed by Bill Conti with lyrics by Carol Connors and Ayn Robbins, and performed by DeEtta Little (the sister of actor Cleavon Little) and Nelson Pigford. Released in February 1977 with the movie Rocky, the song became part of American popular culture after main character Rocky Balboa completed his daily training regimen while the song played. The song finishes as Rocky completes his famous run up the "Rocky Steps" of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and raises his arms in a victory pose.
From a personal standpoint, this song always makes me think of the minor hockey tournament my Dad started back in '83. This song was played to introduce teams for the opening and championhip games.
Enjoy!
