Listen "Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this very special Halloween episode, Tom and Ty get out their protective eyewear, turn around, and stare into the bright eyes of Bonnie Tyler's 1983 "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Nearly blinded by Jim Steinman's over-the-top songwriting, the two marvel at how he and Bonnie Tyler make the song work (in spite of Tom almost purging his Halloween candy over the multitudinous key changes...or maybe it was the meatloaf? Another slice, anyone?). The boys dig deep into how pioneering music video maestro Russell Mulcahy brought his spooky magic to the song, creating a perplexing masterpiece for the ages.
