I think you will enjoy watching "Footloose ". Starring Kevin Bacon. Not a western. If I remember correctly, a guy in a small town that frowns upon dancing and rock and roll music. He has a passion to change that.
Bonnie Tyler is great. She's in her 70's and still sings and looks amazing. Bonnie has a wonderful raspy singing voice, but has an incredible thick Welsh accent that it almost seems odd.
It is cool that you said, you would be crying, listening to this song if you were alone. I know that is hyperbole, but it makes you makes you more likable.
So I'm in a community choir in my city and we included this for one of our shows last year. Now see this song...Bonnie's song...is nostalgic to me. We had this soundtrack back in the day and it was one of my favorites. Before this concert, I told my mom I already knew what her favorite song of the show was gonna be. And let me tell you, singing these harmonies onstage with a live drummer is freaking epic. I'm forever stoked that we got to do this. :D
I know the song from Footloose of course, but I associate it most closely as the theme song for the TV show Cover Up that starred John-Erik Hexum. He was portraying a spy of some sort, and while bored waiting for his cue to go on, shot himself in the head with a set gun loaded w/blanks, and died. I was heartbroken about it at the time as it was my favorite show. So while I still love this song, it has some bittersweet memories.
The video actually has nothing to do with the movie. Footloose (staring Kevin Bacon) is about a small town in Texas that has a law against dancing. Kevin's character moves into town - and tries to change that law. It's and 80's classic - with an INCREDIBLE soundtrack. I think you'd love it. Bonnie's other iconic video is Total Eclipse of the Heart. Very dynamic video and song. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! :)
I'm sure at least 5,000 people have told you to check out Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie. It's a great song. You'll love it, and you may have even heard it, but might not realize it.
Kenny Loggins sings the opening song for Footloose. The song is called Footloose and it is just pure enjoyment. It's perfect for a movie like Footloose.
My dude. You have to hear “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” She sings it. Written by Jim Steinman (who also wrote this song). He also wrote almost all of Meatloafs things. AND he wrote the greatest song ever written “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” which was performed by Air Supply.
When your old like me. It's the sound track to an epic Soap Super couple. Escaping on the back of a motorcycle. Leaving the bad guy at the alter. As you hop on the back of your true love's ride, in your wedding dress!! Not only that. Your boy / best friend. Puts on a wedding dress. Marches down the aisle, & listens to the groom recite his vows. Behind a thick wedding veil. Waits till he's finished. Pulls back the veil, & demands a big wet kiss. LOL Giving his bud time to escape, with his girl. ( funny as hell ) I think the scene is still on YT. Just type in Howie, wedding dress, Days.
As a girl Bonnie Tyler required an operation on her throat and it resulted in her acquiring her distinctive raspy voice. You should also check out 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' another absolute classic by her...
While this song was part of the 1984 Footloose soundtrack, it was also used as the intro theme for the 1984-1985 TV series Cover Up, starring Jon Erik Hexum and Jennifer O'Neill...however, it was sung by EG Dailey, instead of Tyler. The series was later cancelled when Hexum accidentally killed himself while messing around with a prop gun on set...side note,,Hexum appears as one of the gym models in the video for Olivia Newton John's massive hit, Physical. Contrary to most, whenever I hear this tune, I always think of this tv series first before Footloose...I only saw this movie when it was later released on VHS, but I had watched the show during it's original airing and it was trending towards being a marked success before the unfortunate tragedy.
This was also the theme song for a short lived TV series called "Cover -Up" during the 1980's. Both of it's 2 star actors tragically died. Jon Erik-Hexum from the blast impact from a blank gun fired at his head on the set of the series and Anthony(Tony) Hamilton from AIDS who took over for him. It only helped to make Bonnie's song even more famous worldwide.
I listened to the Shrek soundtrack CD hundreds of times. Sang along to the slower version of this song, would go back & replay sections so I could get it right, singing along. Our younger song told me, "Mommy, when you sing, children's ears bleed." 😮 Different artist, Jennifer Saunders. Son was in the car with me. We were listening to the CD. I forgot myself, automatically sang along with this song (slower version), full voice. Silence after I sang. Younger son said, "Mom, that was actually really good." Served him right! His comment about children's ears wasn't said in a mean or arrogant voice, BTW. Blessings, all.
Bonnie Tyler is a Welsh singer who is known for her distinctive husky voice. "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" was her biggest hit in 1983. She had other hits such as "It's A Heartache", "Lost In France", "More Than A Lover", "Bitterblue" etc.
Bonnie was the original artist for Tina Turner's "The Best" ruclips.net/video/LKV5YAxwv3Q/видео.html - it never broke through for her, but it became one of the biggest songs of all time when Tina covered it. She was also the original artist for Cher's "Save Up All Your Tears" ruclips.net/video/m0VvrjnGnrw/видео.html - which was the last big song from Cher during her Geffen years. Bonnie's released 22 albums and is still touring. It's a pity she never remained big worldwide, because there are tons of great songs in there, and her voice can carry anything. My personal nod for a song to react to that showcases her beautiful voice: ruclips.net/video/_fgIa31QZTo/видео.html Good Bonnie Tyler songs to put into your queue: Ravishing, Loving You's a Dirty Job (But Somebody's Gotta Do It), Rebel Without A Clue, Before This Night Is Through, Save Up All Your Tears, To Love Somebody, Streets of Little Italy, Amazed, This Is Gonna Hurt, Believe In Me, Little Superstar, Wild Love, Given It All, The Best Is Yet To Come, When The Lights Go Down, Have You Ever Seen The Rain?, and Faster Than the Speed of Night, and of course Total Eclipse of the Heart. 🧡🔥
Footloose not a western but has some fab tracks from the 80s you wont be disappointed its kevin bacon dancing! 😂 . Please check out Heart-alone and Tpau china in your hands. Great big songs from the 80's with truly amazing female singers.
I feel like the world needs to know about Matt Anderson. This dude sits down by himself with a six string guitar, no pic even and makes magic. I'll make you a deal, you Google Matt Anderson Devil's Bride live from 13 yrs ago. It has over a million views. If you enjoy that, and I think you will how about you review him doing Ain't no Sunshine from Lunnenberg festival. You will pop the internet, love the music and I will subscribe and tell my friends to check you out. Love what you do sir, best wishes from Canada
She’s also quoted as saying she preferred difficult songs that took every ounce of energy… or something like that. Point is, in addition to the voice, it’s her energy that makes the performance what it is.
Footloose has nothing to do with cowboys. It is about a town that banned music and the newcomer who gets that changed. It has an outstanding soundtrack. Bonnie Tyler songs to check out “it’s a heartache” and “totally eclipse of the heart”.
This is remarkable: it's as if the feminine spirit was screaming out for the return of integrated masculinity. Written for Footloose circa 1984, where that exact film plays that sort of story out perfectly; hence, it became something of a cultural movement and fell right in with the new rise of rock and roll (as with Queen, Bowie, and the first big wave of Elvis popularity, after his death). You also get a sense of this with many other movies of the mid-1980s, such as The Breakfast Club. I get this awful feeling that never really changed; women never got their hero, and so they gave up. You had one final go of it with Beauty and the Beast in 1989. By the 1990s, all was lost, into a sea of cultural nothingness. Only by the 2000s did it come back in a big way with Twilight and such; though this felt more like a female fantasy playing out, as opposed to an actual call on men. Naturally, it fell on deaf ears into the 2010s. And, here we are, utterly lost. All reports indicate women are more single and depressed than ever, s with men. I feel the narrative shifted somewhere in the 1990s, though it really hasn't worked, and many women are now too bitter to ever accept men. We saw it with The Lion King in 1994 and with The Lord of the Rings in 2001-2003, and Harry Potter circa 2001-2011. There is also Narnia, The Maze Runner, the Planet of the Apes remakes, among others. I feel that the young males of Gen Z, however, are utterly lost, such that their call to adventure, to become better men, means nothing to them. This is not going to end well at all in the coming decades as the birth rate drops, and we see this aggression and sexual repression build outwardly. Already, men have grossly retreated into the likes of video games and hypermasculine fictions, such as misidentifying with Scar or Anakin or otherwise super-villains of our culture. I also see a violent swing towards Left-wing authoritarian movements since the 2000s. The very people that progress to be anti-war, such as Noam, for example, are the quickest to turn on humanity and support totalitarian means. C.S. Lewis once reported that the worst sort of oppression was the kind done 'for the good of the victim', as it means that the oppressor can 'go on without end as he feels righteous and self-righteous'. There are many songs like this from women during the 1980s, actually (sometimes for film, sometimes not). It's not a trivial thing at all; especially, the instant popularity it found, how it resonated with so many women. The film practically made Kevin Beacon an overnight sex icon, for example. Imagine how much worse things are today, given that things were fairly normative back in the 1980s, and overall well-being and happiness reports were far better in general. We must imagine the kinds of fantasies we're going to be acting out, and dark desires. If you don't think it's happening and can get much worse, you've not been paying enough attention to Western culture for the last 30 years, and you've certainly not read nearly enough history.
On the subject of the possible Bonnie Tyler layering her voice for the chorus girls, no, no way the way I figure it. Why? Did you hear her voice during her normal singing? Her voice has been damaged earlier in life, and I doubt very seriously she couldn't done what those singers did. IOW, I don't think she can make her voice that sweet, because it's mostly harsh. IIRC, she hits some high notes here, but it sounds just like her low notes in tone, as I don't think she could make it sweet anymore, and this particular song is probably best served that way, because her hoarse voice brings out more desperation of wanting a hero. Same goes with her singing "It's a Heartache" on that song. I wonder if, as far as her singing career went, if she would rather have the hoarse voice she ended up having, because it was certainly a trademark of hers, and she probably would've been just another singer without it.
Bonnie Tyler Total eclipse of the heart is a must my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Agreed❤❤
Bonnie Tyler is a legend...Total Eclipse of the Heart and Its a Heartache are also great Bonnie Tyler songs. Total Eclipse is the most famous.
Bonnie Tyler has an amazing voice, listen to Total Eclipse of The Heart.
The guy who wrote this song (and the Footloose soundtrack) is Jim Steinman, who was also the song writer for Meat Loaf. Guy was prolific.
He was amazingM
👍🏽💯🙏🏽
I'm going to go along with everyone else...lets do Total Eclipse Of The Heart! I can't think of the 80's without her.
at 2 yrs old, my now adult daughter watched Shrek so much she wore out her VHS tape 🤣
I think you will enjoy watching "Footloose ". Starring Kevin Bacon. Not a western. If I remember correctly, a guy in a small town that frowns upon dancing and rock and roll music. He has a passion to change that.
The original is the best.
I remember this from Short Circuit 2.
40 years on and this song is still fire.
Bonnie Tyler is great. She's in her 70's and still sings and looks amazing. Bonnie has a wonderful raspy singing voice, but has an incredible thick Welsh accent that it almost seems odd.
In Footloose it plays while they play chicken on two tractors. Great scene in the movie .
It is cool that you said, you would be crying, listening to this song if you were alone. I know that is hyperbole, but it makes you makes you more likable.
Pure Music....
Every time I hear this song, I think of Johnny 5 chasing down Oscar
Sometimes we don't recognize our heros until their gone.
So I'm in a community choir in my city and we included this for one of our shows last year. Now see this song...Bonnie's song...is nostalgic to me. We had this soundtrack back in the day and it was one of my favorites. Before this concert, I told my mom I already knew what her favorite song of the show was gonna be.

I was heartbroken about it at the time as it was my favorite show. So while I still love this song, it has some bittersweet memories.
this is one of those songs that just totally has awsome vibes. no doubt.
You MUST do Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, it has an iconic video!
It was a cover in Shrek 2. I woke up with this song in my head ! So cool.
The video actually has nothing to do with the movie. Footloose (staring Kevin Bacon) is about a small town in Texas that has a law against dancing. Kevin's character moves into town - and tries to change that law. It's and 80's classic - with an INCREDIBLE soundtrack. I think you'd love it. Bonnie's other iconic video is Total Eclipse of the Heart. Very dynamic video and song. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! :)
For me, this song will be forever connected to Jon Erik Hexum and those piercing blue eyes of his💙. Such a senseless loss.
I'm sure at least 5,000 people have told you to check out Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie. It's a great song. You'll love it, and you may have even heard it, but might not realize it.
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler is a MUST!!!!!!!!!
We all need the hero she sings about. Great video.
Kenny Loggins sings the opening song for Footloose. The song is called Footloose and it is just pure enjoyment. It's perfect for a movie like Footloose.
I need a Hero!❤️
By far one of my favorite videos from the 80's, Great Reaction👌 Peace ✌️ Gary 😊 the 80's were Wild !
This song is best known for the movie FOOTLOOSE Kenny Logins sang the movie score and songs for the classic. Like Footloose and many many more
She had one of the most feminine and powerful voices there was. she was beautiful.
Comedian Jennifer Saunders absolutely *kills* this song on the Shrek 2 soundtrack! It's an incredible performance.
this song was featured in the movie Footlosse
Total Eclipse of the Heart Shon come on man, sang by this Welsh Goddess Bonnie Tyler ❤❤
Fairy godmother singing this in Shrek was the best!
Glad you enjoyed the Grand Canyon! Might I also recommend Yellowstone National Park? The beauty is different, but both are just awe-inspiring.
My dude. You have to hear “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” She sings it. Written by Jim Steinman (who also wrote this song). He also wrote almost all of Meatloafs things. AND he wrote the greatest song ever written “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” which was performed by Air Supply.

CLASSIC!! you definitely need to watch the original Footloose! You should do a reaction video to it

He's gotta be fresh from the fight now that is a hero.
Apparently you need to see the 80's movie FOOTLOOSE. Which is a major soundtrack in that film 😅❤
I listened to the Shrek soundtrack CD hundreds of times. Sang along to the slower version of this song, would go back & replay sections so I could get it right, singing along.
Our younger song told me, "Mommy, when you sing, children's ears bleed." 😮
Different artist, Jennifer Saunders.
Son was in the car with me.

Silence after I sang.

Served him right!
His comment about children's ears wasn't said in a mean or arrogant voice, BTW.
Blessings, all.
It like watching a mini movie with a great song.
You need to spring for RUclips premium, bro! 😂 bonnie tyler is awesome. Also listen to her song "it's a heartache."
As a Gen Xer that heard this song back in the 80's, this song always reminds me to Shrek. 🤣🤣🤣
Kitteh in the window💋💋💋💋

Some videos from the 80's were a bit odd but, the music speaks for itself. These songs will be listened to long after we're gone..
Bonnie's video's were the wildest for sure "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
I love it..."SHOUT OUT TO SHREK!"
Great song, great voice!!!
"Shoutout to the Grand Canyon"😂
I really want your reaction to Shine Downs 45
💚Shrek 2!!! Jennifer Saunders (Fairy Godmother) sang a fantastic cover!
Bonnie Tyler! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd love to see you react to Footloose (the movie.) That would be hilarious.
Adam Lambert has a cover version of this song, and his version is amazing.

Good Bonnie Tyler songs to put into your queue: Ravishing, Loving You's a Dirty Job (But Somebody's Gotta Do It), Rebel Without A Clue, Before This Night Is Through, Save Up All Your Tears, To Love Somebody, Streets of Little Italy, Amazed, This Is Gonna Hurt, Believe In Me, Little Superstar, Wild Love, Given It All, The Best Is Yet To Come, When The Lights Go Down, Have You Ever Seen The Rain?, and Faster Than the Speed of Night, and of course Total Eclipse of the Heart. 🧡🔥
Great reaction. Song was in Streets of Fire too
💔Now you MUST react to Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' - another legendary song!!!
This song you can totally rock out 2.
This video is so gloriously cheesy. It is like the entire 80s crammed into one song.
Footloose not a western but has some fab tracks from the 80s you wont be disappointed its kevin bacon dancing! 😂 . Please check out Heart-alone and Tpau china in your hands. Great big songs from the 80's with truly amazing female singers.
Did you see the Hoover Damn while you there? My grandfather was one of the men that helped build it.

Her voice sounds this way because she had vocal cord surgery
She’s also quoted as saying she preferred difficult songs that took every ounce of energy… or something like that. Point is, in addition to the voice, it’s her energy that makes the performance what it is.
dude, you gotta watch Footloose! Great movie and soundtrack. Enjoy!
Footloose has nothing to do with cowboys. It is about a town that banned music and the newcomer who gets that changed. It has an outstanding soundtrack. Bonnie Tyler songs to check out “it’s a heartache” and “totally eclipse of the heart”.
Try her cover of " Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" 👍
Check out the movie for sure.
Not a western -- you really should check "Footloose" out (the original). 80's MV were movies within themselves - how I loved living in the 80's!!!
Short Circuit, Johnny 5
Bo on Dats of Our Lives theme song
I think this song was in the original superman movie
You need to visit The Grand Tetons next.
THIS was always the number 1 track from footloose..not the title track.
The Shrek song. You just dated yourself. I'm old, so I know it from Footloose and Short Circuit 2
No, Short Circuit 2 Johnny 5 song
I don't remember that middle change-up
I'd settle for a hoagie.
