"It's the thrill of the bite."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"It's the thrill of the bite."
What's actually sung
"It's the thrill of the fight." Eye of the Tiger — Survivor (1982)
Why the ear defaults
The F-to-B swap is phonetically tiny in the mix, and "bite" scans thematically with "tiger." Appears in fan-lyric sites more than you'd expect.
