"Total Eclipse of the Heart" Performed on Rubber Chickens

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.

Great stuff - but I was expecting a stage-separation!

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.

Model rocket?!? That's a land to air missile!! Pretty impressive. I'm just looking at the cars in the background, wondering how many of them almost swerved off the road when the rocket took off. Not something you see everyday!

I know right? At what point do you take the word 'model' off the front of 'rocket'? I wonder if he had to get any sort of clearance or notify anyone to launch something that big.

@Dalucero - At the point that you can call it a complete replica. A model has less copied details than the original. If I saw correctly, this model ony fired its 1st stage? And it has a standard model-grade solid fuel engine?

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...

If it were dick thing, DaveL, it would have been kind of embarrassing. He only got about halfway, then stopped.

Cool that it landed upright like that. Must have had a really heavy bottom.

That's some expensive hobby, I bet.

Very impressive, but with 8 N engines and a central P engine and the thing only got to 4000'? That thing is far, far more powerful than many of the early sounding rockets which got to 40 miles altitude.

I guess they were going for aethetics, not pure performance.
