Total Eclipse of the Heart

There is something about the song Total Eclipse of the Heart that gives me such a good feeling. Maybe it's my love for classic 80's songs. Or, perhaps it's the fun memories of dancing to the Nikki French version back in H.S. But, every time I listen to Total Eclipse of the Heart I feel like everything is right in the world.

This week, that all changed.

Somehow, after all these years I had never seen the original music video. It's a crazy video. Like funny/weird/drug crazy. And, the latest online video craze hitting the social media avenues is the Literal Video Version of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Good luck.



Q. Is this really the video for Bonnie Tyler's hit? Can this be real?
A. Amazingly. Yes.

Just when I thought I had seen it all and it couldn't get weirder, it was just half way over. Around 3:28, it really started to freak me out. Seriously, I get chills just thinking about those eyes! Is that what happens when you stare into an eclipse? You know you can see an eclipse by looking into a pot of water and seeing the reflection of the sun/moon convergence. It's a whole lot better than having your eyes burned by a solar laser.

And, in the spirit of sharing, here's the Spanish version: Eclipse Total del Amor.
