I like the scene with football players with shoulder pads but no jerseys. Odd videos

Crazy that Jim Steinman had the #1 and #2 hits at the same time at one point. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler and "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" by Air Supply.

my cool story bro

I have the Total Eclipse album on vinyl

when we were kids we went to a mardi gras parade (i think in New Roads). a WFMF van was in the parade. Former WFMF personality Jim Nasium got out and started handing out albums, gave my mom that one

my mom passed in November, i brought my parents record player and their albums to my house, and that is one of them

My wife put on Bonnie Tyler in the car as we were driving on vacation. My wife joked that she sounds like she smokes 3 packs a days. She still had great songs though. RIP

She always gave me that single mother trailer trash vibe.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Reading the stories about her death I learned her voice was because of a throat surgery. Never knew that. I chalked it up to smoking.

Every time I hear Total Eclipse I imagine Meatloaf singing the song while wearing a wig. She ripped off his signature song styling.
