I hate that song. But RIP.

Turns out it was more than a heartache after all.

Turns out it was more than a heartache after all.

I'm going to hell for a number of reasons, but that clinches it.

You magnificent *******.

When Tyler met Meat Loaf he said: “That song was meant for me.”
She replied: “Tough ****. I got it.”

"Meat Loaf was really pissed off. He said, That song was meant for me!" How Bonnie Tyler became the ultimat...

Far down in the story it calls her the "ultimate power ballad diva," so I guess that's what they were getting at.

She needed a hero, but nobody was fresh from the fight.

RIP to the patron saint of songs people would never admit to liking, but deep down they did.
I first took notice of her when she hit the charts with "It's a Heartache," a song that was heard not only on the Top 40 stations, but the country stations my mom and dad listened to. It was a more "down-homey" song than the ultra-produced numbers she would eventually be known for.
Also, it wasn't until about a year or two ago I found out my favorite Bon Jovi song "You Give Love a Bad Name" (Hey, they were great in the '80s, FU) was a total redo of one of her songs "If I Was a Woman, and You Were a Man." Desmond Child wrote it, had the publishing credits on that tune and redid the lyrics around the medley, so there was no plagiarism controversy.

I love Total Eclipse of the Heart. Always. I had read that she was in a coma. RIP.

Where's the streetwise Hercules to put the casket in the ground?

 

[Shelbyville Manhattan]

For some reason, I always confused her with Juice Newton.

 

[Slacker]

That's a total eclipse of her heart, man.

 

[micropolitan guy]

For some reason, I always confused her with Juice Newton.

That's because you were laying out another line and thinking about a life of crime.

 

[BTExpress]

I could see confusing her with Kim Carnes, but not Juice Newton.

Cool, raspy voice. RIP to a big late 70s-80s artist.

I posted Total Eclipse in the Mic Drop thread. This is the title track from the album. Rick Derringer, Max Weinberg and Roy Bittain all are featured but it’s worth a listen to hear Rory Dodd go absolutely bat**** crazy at the end

This is particularly fitting since Jim Steinman's songs featured the longest titles in history.

The first time I saw this video, I raved about it on Facebook. Woke up the next morning to about two dozen replies wondering where I'd been the last 10 years. Always the last to know!



RIP Bonnie. I cannot think of many more perfectly '80s songs than this.
