Total Eclipse of the Heart: the Literal Video Version

Posted by Stacy in Video Clips on May 31, 2009 at 1:48 pm


I looked back through the archives and I don’t think this is a repost, but even if it is, it’s probably worth it. It’s Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” but with lyrics that describe what’s going on in the video. And, wow, I had never seen this actual video. I had no idea “Total Eclipse of the Heart” had such a pedophile theme going on.

Other literal videos include Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”, A-Ha’s “Take On Me”, and Starship’s “We Built This City,” but I think Total Eclipse is definitely the best.

    The original one was just weird enough that pointing out the weirdness was mediocre, but it kinda got dull.

    Absolutely hilarious. These are awesome. I would gladly buy this on iTunes recorded by Bonnie Tyler.

    Boy it must have been fun to plan videos in the 1980s. Just make up the kookiest crap you can begin to think of, then get filming. "Ok, then one of the choir boys with glowing eyes flies at Bonnie...genius!"

    this is one of the best, I think. I loved the song but the video- not so much.

    Much as I love this video, I think the Meatloaf "I'd do Anything for Love" Literal Video is better:
