Weekend Wildcard - You're the Best by Joe Esposito

You're the best, around! Nothing's ever going to keep you down!

This Weekend's Wildcard is You're the Best brought to you by Joe Esposito. This is off of the Karate Kid soundtrack from 1984. It was used during the All-Valley Karate Championships montage.

The song was originally written for Rocky but it was eventually replaced by Eye of the Tiger. The director of Karate Kid liked it so much that he decided to use it in the movie. The song received criticism for the line "History repeats itself" since this was used in the kid's first tournament.

The song also made a strong return in the South Park episode The Losing Edge where Randy get's in fights at all of the boys' little league baseball games.



Here is the Randy Scene. "I thought this was Amurica"
