Most people think this song is called "You're The Best AROUND", but it isn't. It was originally written for Rocky III (which you learned yesterday) and was also rejected for the movie Flashdance, in favor of Michael Sembello's "Maniac".
That's OK. It suits Daniel-san better anyway. It makes for the perfect fight montage theme song (even if it doesn't completely work in this case lyrically. Just don't listen too closely).
Magically, it also works in this It's Always Sunny In Philadephia montage, where the gang takes a LOT of steroids.

5 June 2018 - Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
The famed song for the theme from Rocky III, now in video format.
While not the first choice of song for this movie (Joe Esposito's "You're The Best"), it ended up being a huge hit for the fledgling band. And it was all because Sylvester Stallone liked their early stuff. That's quite the endorsement!
It's a reasonably standard straight-ahead rock-and-roll song, but it kick-started the band's career, as they went on to have a number of hits after this initial burst of great.
