You're the Best Around was performed by Joe Esposito and became widely known through its use in the 1984 film The Karate Kid, where it plays over the climactic tournament sequence. The song's triumphant chorus made it a natural shorthand for training montages and underdog victories long after the film's release. Online, creators reuse the short chorus to score wins, comebacks and reveals, keeping its eighties motivational feeling alive for audiences who may never have seen the original movie.
