Hajime no Ippo - Under Pressure
After watching Season 1 Ep. 24, the song Pressure popped into my head thanks to the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie getting a bunch of Queen songs stuck in my head again. I started with a couple of verses, then the next thing I knew I had the whole song relating it to the show. Even though no one asked for it, not knowing what else to do with it, but too proud of it to let it collect dust, I'm posting it here. Feel free to bust this out on karaoke night with your anime friends!
Disclaimer: I don't own the song "Pressure" ft. David Bowie there can be only be one, QUEEN. RIP Freddie & Bowie
*um boom boom ba da boom boom*
*um boom boom ba da boom boom*
*da da boom ba da boom boom*
*um boom boom ba da boom boom*

um boom ba bay
um boom ba bay
um boom ba baby
. . .
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on Ippo, no one ask for
Under pressure that tears a Miyata down
Splits a gym in two
Puts people on mat
. . .
um ba ba be
um ba ba be
e de da
e de da, That's OK
. . .
It's the treasure of knowing what this match is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Ganbatte!" (Do your best!)
Rounds tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on boxers, wins tomorrow
. . .
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba, OK
Jabbing around, punch my brains to the floor
These are the days I never rest, so I train more
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo, Right Hook!
(people on mats) Ee da de da de
(people on mats) Ee da de da de da
. . .
It's the tresure of knowing what this match is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Ganbatte!" (Do your best!)
Rounds tomorrow gets me higher, high, high!
Pressure on boxers, win tomorrow
. . .
Turn toward it like a man on a mission
Punched the bags, but it don't work
Keep coming up with will but it's so slashed and torn
Why? Why? Why?!
Sere will *echoes - will, will, will*
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
. . .
Why can't we give Ippo more chance?
Why can't we give our all one more time?
Why can't we Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!
Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!, Ganbatte!
. . .
'Cause nakama such an powerful word
And love dares you to care for
The people at the edge of the round
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last match
This is our last match
This is ourselves, under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
I'm no musician, but I think I matched it up enough timing-wise if you did want to try to a cover with this version of the lyrics instead.
