Today is Bonnie Tyler’s 70th birthday. However, you would never know that just by looking at her. She looks the same now as when she told us she was Holding Out for a Hero in the ’80s. It looks like she found him.
Back to Tyler, doesn’t she look beautiful? I want to know what her secret is. Maybe it has something to do with a Total Eclipse.
If you are going to book any music act for you total Eclipse party, Bonnie Tyler is the one that you want. Royal Caribbean was the one that got her to climb aboard their ship and sing her 1983 chart topping hit Total Eclipse of the Heart written by Jim Steinman as the moon covered the sun.
How did it go? Watch it above and hear how at 66, she still sounds like she sang it when she was just 31 years old. What a voice and what a song. Just as powerful now as it was then, thanks to her vocals and Steinman’s words.
Too bad the eclipse did not really happen when she was singing the tune. Which I thought was the whole purpose of her belting it out on Royal Caribbean’s Total Eclipse Cruise. Oh well.
Now when it comes to DNCE, when did Joe Jonas because a ’70s porn star? And where can I watch that porno?
Back in 1983, it had been 4 years since a total eclipse and people were able to relate to Jim Steinman’s lyric for his huge ballad Total Eclipse of the Heart sung by Bonnie Tyler. Today, it is 38 years later and people are once again excited for an eclipse because we are getting another one on August 21st.
So excited that Royal Caribbean is setting sail a Total Eclipse Cruise this Sunday and passengers will be able to witness the moon covering the sun from the water. To make that rare occurrence even more monumental, they will have Tyler sing that infamous song to hundreds of bright eyes as they go dark. How awesome is that going to be? To make it even better, the guests will be having Cake by the Ocean with DNCE.
Now back to the eclipse, tell me I am not the only who watched too many Horror movies and Sci-Fi shows and is afraid we are going to be taken over aliens, Zombies and/or animals during those 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Or time will stop and some evil lord will control our brains and we will never be the same when the sun finally shines through again?
Finally, there are still seats available for the cruise and you can get tickets to be one it for less than $800. What a bargain!
Thirty years ago when Jim Steinman wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart, I bet he never thought that people could be diagnosed with it but they are. Drug Puppy made a video showing us what the symptoms are and how the diagnosis is made. So if you get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by and are a little bit terrified, then see the look in your eyes and go to the doctor to get tested ASAP.
I have to wonder if the light in your life goes out from Total Eclipse of the Heart, does Bonnie Tyler sing at your funeral?
