Jim Steinman's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as sung by Bonnie Tyler is one of the most iconic pop songs of the 80s. It is a mournful ballad about broken love. So it is fitting that a modern version is performed on rubber chickens.
Our musician is Lord Vinheteiro, a Brazilian master of several instruments, including the piano. He's not, though, actually a nobleman--Brazil hasn't recognized peerages since 1889. Lord Vinheteiro is just his stage name.
We love his work here at Neatorama and are pleased to see him expand his repertoire to include this revered orchestral instrument. Watch as he uses ever smaller chickens to move your heart.

Loved the parachutes - they were just the colour I remember from all those years ago. Except I must have seen it in black and white. Odd how the memory plays tricks.
I know that where I live, you need permission for even far smaller rockets. This mastodont would never get permission to even be built up, let alone that it also would be launched...
Cool that it landed upright like that. Must have had a really heavy bottom.
That's some expensive hobby, I bet.
I guess they were going for aethetics, not pure performance.
