One of the interesting aspects of
Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis movie is the soundtrack. What
everyone noticed in the trailers has been a new take on one of motion picture's
most famous music score's that of Sylvestor Stallone's third personification of
Rocky Balboa. It was performed in the original film by the Rock Group Survivor
and was entitled « The Eye of the Tiger ». In the soundtrack of
Persepolis
distributed by DIAPHANA DISTRIBUTION.
Chiara Mastroianni is Satrapi's
voice onscreen

The comic parody heard
in the movie is on the contrary a sentimental and slow
soft beat version performed by Chiara Mastroianni and rearranged by composer
Olivier Bernet ( Below the Lyrics):
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to
survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion
for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight
just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the
cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last
known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the
eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough,
stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we
kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin' up, straight to the
top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna
stop
Just a man and his will to survive
chorus
The eye of
the tiger (repeats out)...
The soundtrack also
contains original themes using Persian instruments like the Tar as well as some
of dialogue from the film.
