“Eye of the Tiger,” the famed theme song from Rocky III, had been on Newt Gingrich’s political soundtrack for years, blaring over the loudspeakers whenever he entered a room. But by January 2012, Frank Sullivan, co-author of the ’80s power ballad, had apparently heard enough. He sued Gingrich for copyright infringement, demanding that the candidate stop using the song at public appearances and pay damages. Oh, the thrill of the legal fight!
