Ali in the Jungle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Ali in the Jungle" was a song released as a single by The Hours, released in November 2006.

The song is an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity - what is important is not how bad things are now, it's how they are going to improve. It focuses on Muhammad Ali's comeback fight against George Foreman (The Rumble in the Jungle) as an example of beating the odds.

The song references several heroic figures, including:

• Joe Simpson's survival of a mountaineering accident
• Helen Keller's successful life without sight or hearing
• Nelson Mandela's decades imprisoned under apartheid, before ending it.

The song's music video is available online at the band's MySpace page.
