Heroes do exist. Mine has been with me for 36 years and nursed me through three cancers. I call that pretty heroic. 💕
Did he fight a huge toad with bad feet? If not it doesn't count
Love Bonnie Tyler!!!!! Her "Total Eclipse of the Heart" one of the top iconic songs ever!!!
Absolutely.
@@timradde4328 I like Lost In France,
It was written by Jim Steinman who also wrote Holding Out For A Hero.
What are you drinking Robert , just curious?
Was used in footloose. Original.
That entire soundtrack is fire. I wore that record out when I was a kid. 🌞
Also used in "Short Circuit 2"
Wales has produced a lot of powerful singers!
Also it was used in one of the Shrek movies!
that's how I remember it
Jim Steinman wrote this. Along with big hits by Meat Loaf (Bat Out of Hell, I’d Do Anything for Love), Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse of the Heart), and Air Supply (Making Love Out of Nothing at All). There are many others, but you get the idea. He wrote very cinematic, big songs.
I always think of Meat loaf when I hear Bonnie Tyler 😂
He and Dean Pitchford. Good 👍 song 🎵
She is from my home city in Swansea Wales UK, she still is known to do these numbers on kareoke nights down the local pubs in Mumbles strip.
Wow this really breaks it down to the raw humanity of loving someone, accepting them and sadly saying goodbye!
I was impressed with the vulnerability that James Blunt showed in this song!
Jim Steinman was an amazing songwriter, composer, piano player and producer. And this song KILLS IT whenever it's used. Footloose, Short Circuit 2, Shrek 2, and Saints Row the Third... the last one is during a mission where you can choose vengeance or saving your friends. I choose saving Shaundi and company Every. Single. TIME. Which is the canon ending because the game producers couldn't conceive of any way their Boss WOULDN'T do this.
ALSO on Glee, where the future Supergirl Melissa Benoist sang it but dressed up as a knockoff Wonder Woman... still absolutely hilarious in hindsight. (Also how long it took them to do a musical episode with two of the better singers from Glee and the original Collins from RENT in the casts of Supergirl and The Flash, AND a DC character named the Music Meister that they got _another_ of the stronger Glee singers to play, but I digress.)
Shout out for mentioning Saints Row.
Bonnie Tyler has an incredible voice. This song was used in the movie FOOTLOOSE. The raspy vocals that she has is incredible. This is another song that Bonnie has had huge success with that is written & produced by Jim Steinman, famous for his writing and producing for MEATLOAF. His sound is so recognizable. He also wrote Bonnie's song "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
Jim Steinman, the genius behind many songs for Bonnie Tyler and my fav Meatloaf
80s Up...Lets Go😂 Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
DID YOU SAY NOOKIE ??? LIMP BIZKIT "NOOKIE" .... YOU'LL LOVE IT BRO !!! A BANGER !
Did it all for the Nookie
loosen up bro! free yourself!!!!!!!!!!!
Shrek 2 and Short Circuit 2...I loved the scenes where this was used. It really does just have a something that just gets things pumped.
Ummm.....and FOOTLOOSE!
It was originally part of Footloose.
playing 'Chicken' with farm tractors.
Man that scene with Johnny 5 racing the clock at the end with this blasting...makes me get teary-eyed each time
@@rhyssaliekos73 Johnny 5 is alive!!!! 😂
David Copperfield did a TV special where he "levitated" across the Grand Canyon, while Bonnie Tyler sang this song while waiting for him on the other side.
Thank you. I couldn't remember which special it was. For some reason, I was thinking Statue of liberty or great wall being the illusion
I totally remember watching that broadcast!! David Copperfield specials on TV were legit events you planned to watch!!
He's likely not proud of that one given that he has never included it in his compilation specials (just like the Bermuda Triangle trick). Pretty easy to see that they simply cut to a replica of him.
Ok, so I have never seen the video either, don't know why, I was around when this charted! But any song that makes you THAT happy should be on your always playlist. I loved this reaction 😂😍
I was a teenager when this was released, wonderful memories...
Interesting you mentioned Total Eclipse Of The Heart, because the other link between that and Holding Out For A Hero is none other than Jim Steinman (of Mealoaf collaboration fame) - both songs have that Steinman bombast we know and love.
I remember Holding Out For A Hero first from being the theme tune to the TV show "Cover Up", but that version was sung by someone else - it wasn't until many years later that I found out Bonnie did a version (and today is the first time I'd seen the video for it!).
Bonnie still lives in Swansea in Wales and is still touring in Europe and also soon off to Australia and New Zealand 👍
I think this song helped elevate "Short Circuit 2" I got the tingles every time I watched it as a kid when that scene came up.
I used to play this, while playing video games on my Atari 2600. Talk about motivational!!
" I can be your hero baby" 🤣🤣🤣
I think we all have our own idea of what 'our' hero should be! I know i had a hero! Lost him in 2003. He was my hero before, and he always will be! ❤
This was also the theme song for a TV show called CoverUp from 1984. Ended with an accidental gun shot and the main characters death. RIP Jon Erik Hexum
shot himself in thehead the gun had blanks in it. for those who do not know bullets are propelled by the gas produced by igniting of the gun powder blanks have no projectile but the gas still have to go somewhere out the barrel
So pleased that you found Bonnie Tyler! Please look for the official video for Total Eclipse Of The Heart. The official video for that is *beyond weird!!!* Edit....just found BPs reaction from a month ago. 😊
Weird video, but a CLASSIC song. Snowy, did you know there's a connection between her and Meat Loaf on that track?
@@matthewdrake4385. I think there are several connections along the way. Also, Jim Steinman wrote several of her songs as I recall.
@@snowysnowyriver that's what I was going for, that Jim wrote that song for Bonnie. Contrary to popular belief, the background singer who was doing the " turnaround" part in the song wasn't Meat Loaf, but sounded similar. I believe the song was originally going to be used in a vampire based play written by Jim, but the plans fell through.
shes an amazing singer,
In the early 80s Bonnie was holding out for a hero.
However, by the 2000s she was settling for Keith from accounts (whilst she was still able to have kids) - He''s no hero, but he's a nice lad with his own house and his own hair.
Brave woman to stand up there on that piece of rock.
Van Morrison Into the Mystic
Whaaaaat WHAT!!! Was a child of the 80s with a Mom who watched Days of Our lives!!! If you know, you know!!! Bo mother f***king BRADY!!!!
🤣
YES!!!!
Yes I agree.
I preferred Steve & Kayla
@@gamerkat1492 patch was nothing to sneeze at either. A hero in his own right
There was a show in the 80s that used this as the theme song that I loved. It was an action series called "COVER UP."The show is about two adventurers who pose as a model and photographer while on location for their missions, which are actually for a CIA organization. One of the stars wise career was just beginning to take off was Jon-Erik Hexum. Sadly he accidentally shot himself with a prop gun on set.
Oh my God. Jon-Eric Hexum. His loss was terrible. I've been on movie sets where firearms were used. Just like in 'Rust', the guns on that set were mishandled. Hexum shot himself in the head by accident. Dunno if you remember - but that set was plagued by several accidents caused by incompetence.
Came to the comments to mention this show. So glad I'm not the only one that remembers
I came to say the same thing and left a link to the Show's opening.
Bonnie Tyler is Welsh Ebro brilliant singer
Written by Jim Steinman, the same guy that wrote both of Meatloaf's 'Bat Out of Hell' albums. You should also check out "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", written by him, originally by a group called 'Pandora's Box', (but more famously covered by Celine Deon). Lots of his stuff have that epic/operatic thing going.
I have never seen this video before either. Don't care to. I love how it works with the scene in Footloose that they used it for. Bonnie Tyler had a diverse trio of hit songs. Her biggest was the #1 smash from 1983 - Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Her video and her voice for that are stunning. Her debut reached #3 in 1978. That song is titled It's a Heartache. It is beautiful and should be your next reaction to Bonnie Tyler.
It's the solid gold Dancers
It's not the girls who demand this - the song is written by a guy :)
So was "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", but the performer tends to bring their own spin to it.
Also the theme song for the TV series “Cover Up” starring Jon Eric Hexum.
I love this…. Love always oldies.
Steinman didn't know how to do anything that wasn't an epic. The man was a genius, and always managed to find the perfect voice for his music.
"Fresh from the fight" can mean someone who just finished fighting.
C.I.A'd that shit
Definitely one of the best hype songs ever made, this one of those songs which can hype you up at any time. Great for working out and training
Listen to Bonnie Raitt, “I can’t make you love me”
The world could do with heroes RIGHT NOW!
It was used in Footloose, Cover Up, Shrek 2... My fav of her songs is Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts
😂😂😂 Men want a lot too, love.
This song is a banger.
This song was written and produced by Jim Steinman, who also wrote and produced..."I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" by Air Supply and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler... and "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", "Bat Out Of Hell" ....
Bonnie Tyler recorded her own version of "Making Love Out Of Nothing at all" with some modified lyrics from Steinman!
This song is also just one of his old songs ( Stark raving love ) and he's just changed the lyrics

I have to be in the right mind set to listen to this song. Right before bed is a big mistake, just before working out, perfect.
lol.. my hubby of 27 yrs is my absolute hero.. flaws and all.. met when we were 17 and damn it was those baby blues that hit me like a brick.. the strongest person i know.. looks can pull you in but it's the soul that will keep you or make you run..
Definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
Schrek II and Footloose that I remember.. by the way, I agree, this song raises the bar a little too high.. While we're at it, somebody tell Shania that if you are a rocket scientist,... THAT impresses me!!!
There is a really great video of this song using 1980's, mostly action, cartoon characters
Time to listen to It's A Heartache. That might be my favorite Bonnie Tyler song. It is the first one I ever heard way back in the day.
Her voice is this way because she had vocal surgery
Actually it’s because she sang when she was supposed to rest it and recover haha
Great song. I still remember listening to this in the Eighties. Thank you for doing this.
Bonnie Tyler is from my hometown called Swansea (pronounced Swanzee) in Wales uk, she is a legend here in Wales and this is one of my all time fave songs of her's and was used in the movie Footloose soundtrack.
This was in the movie "Shrek" which is one of my favorite movies. Bonnie Tyler had a few hits in the 80's so she at least was not a "one hit wonder" but she was not a thing for very long. I appreciate your reaction to this song and for bringing back good memories for a real 80's girl.
It's from Footloose originally.
@@alisonflaxman1566 oh, I forgot about that! Thank you for bringing that back to mind!
There are men out there like this. I didn't believe it either, but I found one 11 years ago. We had 9 wonderful years together before he passed. I call this song his theme song!
I feel for you, as the same happened to me but my husband lasted a bit longer. They will always be our Hero's
One of my favourite hype songs. So good
I remember this song. I loved it
"We don't need another hero" - Tina Turner
"Pity the country that needs heroes." - Bertolt Brecht, in "Life of Galileo"
This is some crazy shit! Especially for the era... So good. Some of the break downs were so unexpected, and on point.
Good ole Bonnie aka Gaynor from Swansea Wales uk....same place as actress singer Catherine Zeta Jones....about 33 miles from me..she did very well considering docs thought she would not be able to sing again.
As much as I love Bonnie Tyler, this song (and others-Total Eclipse of the Heart always gets me in my feels), Love you a lot more! I watch tons of reaction vids and found your Ren (and Chinchilla's, )love , first timing again with much of the thrillas. You're the best Black Pegasus!
This song is inextricably entwined with the scene from Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, where Clark tries on multiple outfits (provided by his mother) as he tries to find the perfect superhero costume.
This song was on the video that after graduating PARIS ISLAND 1990 was put together with our Company during our training. They did it for all the companies I guess. You could order it
And the sent it to your home . it had film of the graduation on the back end.
Theme song for the 1984 TV Series "Cover Up". Starring Jennifer O'Neill and Jon-Erik Hexum (The Hero),
Special Forces investigations using a modelling agency as a cover. Great series.
I was hoping someone would mention the TV show Cover Up. Jon-Erik Hexum RIP would have been a larger-than-life actor if he hadn't accidentally shot himself. (He was playing with a pistol with blanks. Blanks have everything in it that real bullet has except for a projectile. He was irritated at a shoot delay and aimed the pistol point-blank next to his head.)
@@brendasorenson6186 I immediately loaded and searched the comments before the video started just to see if Cover-Up was mentioned. I cried when they showed about his passing at the end of the final episode. I was 14 at the time.
@@vickibird8007 I think there were a lot of females who were saddened at his passing. He was definitely easy on the eyes. 😇
my youth!! great song
It was the theme song for a 80's TV show called Cover Up
Whenever I hear this song it takes me back to Bo & Hope on Days of Our Lives we all (even the boys) watched when I was in high school. Lol I really like the song itself too though.
There are videos of clips using this song. Example: a video of Final Fantasy clips from the game. Awesomely put together.
Saints Row the third game , final mission, this song rocked the whole game
Another great song of Bonnie Tyler’s is called It’s A Heartache!🎉
Was used in a TV series about models in the 1980s.
It was also the theme song for the short lived tv series Cover Up
Millions of views. Hallelujah by Pentatonics. It's awesome!!!
Miljenko Matijevic (lead sing from Steelheart) does a great version of Hallelujah as well.
Was las used in the 80's as the theme tune for a US tv series called "Cover Up" .
Request #7:
🏁CHEAP TRICK🏁
“Surrender,” “I Want You To Want Me,” ANYTHING but “The Flame,” PLEASE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m gonna see them on Saturday & would LOVE to show them your reaction! ✌🏼
I love Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight, and Buddacan albums
Dream police is another good one.
Omg yes! I love Cheap Trick❤
Just curious - why exclude "The Flame"?
@@aura81295 maybe because it was an 80’s pop ballad and that’s not really Cheap Trick’s sound. I personally don’t have issues with bands doing ballads, but I can understand how fans can be put off by songs like that.
I love this song. Its so 80s 😂 its also very much the "wannabe alpha chad theme song" but at the same time its a song that is encouraging women to ask for more from their men (which lets be real, any dude who calls themselves an "alpha" isnt one lol) so for me as a woman this is just a great, fun and fantastical song that lots of women have dreamed about (but not all). But yeah anyone who takes this song too seriously needs to just chill 😂
Produced by the late Jim Steinman.
Written by him and Dean Pitchford. Featured in the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Footloose. Great 👍
The late Jim Steinman wrote for many musicians. Dean Pitchford is the co writer in every song of this movie 🎥 except for the bonus songs.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Peter Cetera and Cher sing After All. 2 Celine Dion sings It's All Coming Back to Me Now
The video is as epic as the song is. I've always loved this song and video and always sang along with it.❤
Love watching you dork out too the music I grew up with. 😊
This song was used in a hit US tv show back in the 80's 'Cover Up' a Glen A Larson creation. The tv show came out the same year (1984) so i suspect the song was written specifically for this tv show.
Brings back so many memories!
So men don't have unreasonable expectations? Sports Illustrated supermodel + cook + housekeeper + good mother?
You could achieve all this and more with cocaine in the 80's
Men don’t expect a supermodel. They are attracted to them. A woman can just be normal looking, but if she’s a good cook and she treats him well he’ll lay down his life for her
Truth! 🤣😂🙃
Also on the Footloose soundtrack is “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” by Deniece Williams.
This song have in several movies like Footloose, Who's Harry Crumb, Short Circuit 2 and Shrek 2
Son, anything from the 80s you will love. Guarantied
Hey Black Pegasus, I'll bet you're lady sees you just that way. For the last 35 years "my hero" has been a skinny little dude whose fiery steed is the 18 wheeler he drives to support his family. You're right that too many women, back when this song was released through now, are looking for some perfect guy with the perfect hair, fancy car, and lots of money. All the while overlooking the quite man in the corner who would make her his world and treat her like a queen.
Footloose!!!
This song was on the sound track for the movie Footloose. It has been used in a lot of different sports events.
Used in tons of films & events in 80s/90s
Footloose
Short Circuit 2
David Copperfield magic/illusion special (great wall of china or statue of liberty, IIRC)
My favorite version of this song is the cover done by Lydia the Bard. My favorite video of this song is from prodangaming101. The eso trailer with this song over it was epic.
This always reminds me so much of "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young " from the movie "Streets of Fire".....same energy.
Someone took this song and put it to clips from the last episode of season 2 of the Mandalorian. Awesome.
Jim Steinman wrote so many great songs! Check out couple songs he wrote from the movie Streets of Fire...so good!!! And of course him & Meatloaf are rock gold together!❤
I always pop over to watch you when I need a break from dealing with patients, or the loss of one, the political crap of the day, or just a bad day. I know when I pop in imma smile
Fun Facts
This song was written by Jim Steinman & Dean Pitchford.
Steinman is known for his collaborations with Meatloaf. He's written I'll Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That), Bat Out of Hell & more.
The opening chorus as well as melody is taken from Jim Steinman's song "Stark Raving Love" from the solo album "Bad for Good" Which I do recommend listening to.
This song was used for the Kevin Bacon film Footloose, a film Dean Pitchford wrote. It was also in Short Circuit 2 & others.
The song was later covered for Shrek 2.
This wouldn't be the last time Bonnie Tyler & Jim Steinman would collaborate. They would work on Total Eclipse of the Heart (which you've listened to) and others.
This would be one of the few Steinman songs Meatloaf didn't cover as most of Steinman's popular songs were covered by him or originated by him.
The song is representative of Ariel, the lead female character who's a small town girl and daughter of the local minister with Kevin Bacons character Ren as the city boy who comes to sweep her off her feet and make a heroic change.
Another great song written by Jim Steinman. Bonie was the only person who could deliver Steinman's work other than Meatloaf.😂😂😂😂
Great song. Great vocalist. Thanks💛👍🏼
This is such a great song! Does anyone remember it from Shrek 2? It was performed by the Fairy Godmother. British comedian/actress Jennifer Saunders voiced/sang the Fairy Godmother. I've been a fan for decades and had no clue she could sing! It's awesome. But this is truly the OG version!
This song was made for the original Footloose movie.
