Starbucks Coffee TV Commercial: "Glen" (Survivor: "Eye of the Tiger")Play this trailer

"Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' was the powerful anthem that fueled boxer Rocky Balboa to become a champion again in the 1982 feature film 'Rocky III,' writes SHOOTOnline. "More than 20 years later, the classic song fuels a young office worker's ambitions to rise to middle management in 'Glen,' a funny and unforgettable new :60 promoting Starbucks DoubleShot." The spot "features the members of Survivor, who recorded a modified version of their mega-hit —- complete with new lyrics."

Review:

The loopy concept for the commercial is well-executed, giving a jolt to the production and to Survivor with Jimi Jamison.
