It's also in Footloose. It was one of the songs from Footloose's soundtrack. It's also in the dreadful remake.This song was also in a Detective Pikachu trailer.
Love the reaction. 1. I need a hero.(or maybe just want a hero. 2. You can't feel like you are being attacked Billy. Because you are a real life hero all military personnel, vets, retirees, doctors, nurses, emts, firemen, and cops are hero's if they do their jobs and they do them right. So again thank you for your service and never think you are not one of my heroes.
@@zomgelok haha! No fight, I don’t disagree. I was a preteen when I watched the movie and heard the song. For years I thought my knight was coming. I’m older now, I’ve seen some things. (Not to mention I learned how to take care of myself and rarely need a hero.) 💯 the good guys are often overlooked or taken advantage of.
My mom didn't care much for rock and roll and when I played this song she said it sounds like she needs a Marine fresh from the battlefield. Crazy how we all interpret music differently!
I agree that the lyrics call out men a bit. As a guy I'm like... I can't be all these things you want. But after I just realized it's a great song and now I just jam
Yea.... RIP Bo.... always wondered if they would pull another "guess what, was a fake, surprise!" kind of thing with them. Those two and the Steve/Kayla storyline always got to me.
This used to be the theme song from a 1980's detective show called "Cover Up" That's where I first heard it & have loved it ever since! IMO her best song was "Total Eclipse of the Heart"..."It's A Heartache" was good too!
The lead actor in the show died on set by fooling around with a fake gun with blanks but for some reason when he put it to his head it killed him.total freak accident 😑
@@jefftalbot5192 no, it was a real gun loaded with blanks. The wadding that was placed at the front of the cartridge managed to push through bone and into Hexum's brain.
This song was a MONSTER hit when it came out in the early 80s..it was in movies it was on soap operas...I even think it was on wrestling shows lol All about the damsel in distress. It wouldn't work in today's world, because people might get offended lol
The Sanderson Sister? LOL!!! OMG Billy that's great! But even funnier is that it's from the soundtrack to Footloose where a teenage boy moves to BFE and saves the oppressed teenagers by dancing!
Man, this song takes me back! Back when Air Wolf, Knight Rider, and The A-Team were big, there was another TV show, "Cover Up", where this was the theme song. I vaguely remember the show, because it only ran for a season or two, but the main actor accidentally/on purpose shot himself in the head on set. The main actor was playing around and the gun fired blanks, but the wading still shot out and killed him. They had to change the show suddenly to account for the loss, but never recovered after he killed himself. I think because of that incident, "weapons masters" would only give access to the weapons before a scene, and then lock them up immediately afterwards for safety concerns. Anyway, the song always reminds me of "Cover Up" and that block of classic 80's TV that used to eat up as a kid.
Heineken used it in a commercial to make "Hold out for a hero until the end of the night" = "look for a guy as the bar is closing" . It also was slowed down and used for a dog adoption commercial.
Wow lol. The symbolism in this says a lot. She is looking for the one who is her equal. Who will not be "Whipped" into shape or submission. Who will fight against those who are trying to destroy everything. Try digging below the surface of things and take the project as a whole. I'm a woman from the eighties and this song is about confidence. A woman who knows what she wants and a man who knows he can deliver. They are the same thing, but they are hard to find. Belief in yourself and not compromising those beliefs is the real battle. Cool reaction.
She messed up her voice in the studio singing with such passion. We don't get this heavy passionate pop songs anymore. This is a power anthem about men being trash and as a man I rock with it.
At the end of the music video the first thing that came to mind was "hello son my name is dugs dale dimadome" I don't know if thats how you say it but people should get what I'm talking about
the Hero in the video is basically a play on the Lone Ranger. {the good one with clayton moore not the Bad johnny depth messing up a great character version.]
It’s not that. Not really. It’s totally her waiting for a night in shining armor that lots of girls do when young. This is why the romance industry exists. Romance stories about soldiers, cops, spies, cowboys, and every Tony Stark wannabe (billionaire playboy philanthropist) . You shouldn’t feel attacked. You should just smile and say, “Hello. I’m here”
I don't think it's all meant literally. Some of it's salvation. Some of it's sexual desire. A want and need sort a thing. Part of this song was used in a movie called Short Circuit 2. Short Circuit one was better, but such are sequels sometimes.
This song is from the movie Footloose (the original, the remake isn't worth mentioning.) So for your next movie, I insist it be OG Footloose! I can't believe you haven't seen it, I'm assuming. It is a must! 80's classic. Baby Kevin Bacon.
A little side information for you on the video... videos like this where it shows them standing on a cliff it was all done with a screen.. kind of like green screen now, you would stand on green carpet and they would have the scene behind you on a screen. i did it once when I was in college and they have me holding a water ski rope and they made it look like I was water skiing (fully clothed in jeans and a t shirt lol)
I remember buying the Footloose soundtrack album while on an eighth grade field trip. This song was featured on the album, but I don't remember the scene from the film where it was used.
Some women have had a string of negative relationships and feel very disappointed. They start to think that there aren’t any kind, honest, guys who don’t cheat on them aren’t alcoholics or aren’t abusive.
I always thought this song was about a woman waiting for the soldier she loves to come back I mean "He's gotta be fast He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero..." I know you have a lot of reactions to do but I think you'd appreciate theses songs especially since you are a veteran and would truly understand the meanings of these songs. It is hard for people not from Australia to understand the effect of WW1 from a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle is a great song about WW1 but really any war and I Was Only 19 by Redgum
You should also react to Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of The Heart. I love that song. My mom introduced me to when I was 9 years old. Also a lot of her music videos are a bit a weird.
#billy binges the song holding out for a hero is from the 1980's movie Foot Loose one of my favorite movies and one worth watching if you never seen it i was ternager whene it came out and saw it on the big screen
Bonnie: Where have all the good men gone?
Billy: I'm sitting right here!
Me: That's the problem! You're sitting there and not saving her! xD
Well.. he is neither fresh from a fight or a superman
😂🤣
I love her song “Total eclipse of the heart”
I was born in 89 so I wasn’t around 😂
And, infamously, former Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson's dad sang the "turn around" backing vocal on it!
I love Total Eclipse of The Heart. I was nine the first time I heard it. It came out in 1984. 8 years before I was born.
Now, Billy Binges must watch the original Footloose with Kevin Bacon!!! The music score from that movie was EPIC!!!
#SoCrazyFam
That scene was epic footloose dance scene remember they said in guardians of the Galaxy it help save the world lol
Part of the Footloose soundtrack, I believe. Lot of great music in that one.
yep, just googled it. definitely in that movie.
In the early 80s, it was also the song playing as Bo Brady rode his motorcycle on "Days of Our Lives.:
I wore that soundtrack out!!
In the warehouse/barn dance scene of footloose
Also the theme for Bo Brady in Days of our Lives.
You should watch the scene where they sing this song in Shrek 2
Short Circuit 2 is much better than Shrek 2 version
I was thinking the same thing. I loved this from shrek
It's also in Footloose. It was one of the songs from Footloose's soundtrack. It's also in the dreadful remake.This song was also in a Detective Pikachu trailer.
@@zamhobby9662 I always think of short circuit 2
The Japanese version of shrek 2 of that scene is great too.
Love the reaction.
1. I need a hero.(or maybe just want a hero.
2. You can't feel like you are being attacked Billy. Because you are a real life hero all military personnel, vets, retirees, doctors, nurses, emts, firemen, and cops are hero's if they do their jobs and they do them right.
So again thank you for your service and never think you are not one of my heroes.
It was originally in the footloose soundtrack and then it was also in Shrek II
this went hard in the Shrek movie
You don't understand; she's making herself out to be a "damsel in distress".
She not a damsel in distress she's a cougar on the prowl
Ahhhh, the totally irrational hope of all us 80s girls. He’s gonna be all those things and still want me?!? lol Sure. 🤣
ruclips.net/video/R2NiKvv7LSA/видео.html
😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯
without trying to start a fight what about all those girls that ripped out our hearts when we tried to be that person
chris johnson straight up girls say they want something then get it and don’t know how to act! I can agree with your point completely 💯💯
@@zomgelok haha! No fight, I don’t disagree. I was a preteen when I watched the movie and heard the song. For years I thought my knight was coming. I’m older now, I’ve seen some things.

I've never seen this video but I know the song by heart. Thanks Footloose. One of the best soundtracks ever!!!
The Sanderson sisters 😂😂😂 This such a good song. This song plus Disney had all of us young girls with really high expectations
I agree that the lyrics call out men a bit. As a guy I'm like... I can't be all these things you want. But after I just realized it's a great song and now I just jam
This song reminds me of Bo and Hope on Days of Our lives back in the 80s
Yea.... RIP Bo.... always wondered if they would pull another "guess what, was a fake, surprise!" kind of thing with them. Those two and the Steve/Kayla storyline always got to me.
This song is epic playing at the end of Saints row 3. It plays while your running to save shaundi.
A little late but yes that scene was a complete masterpiece
It's been used in a number of movies, normally in scenes where the leading man is rushing to save the day. Right off the top of my head, Shrek II.
Also short circuit 2.
It was also the second trailer theme for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.
This used to be the theme song from a 1980's detective show called "Cover Up" That's where I first heard it & have loved it ever since! IMO her best song was "Total Eclipse of the Heart"..."It's A Heartache" was good too!

All about the damsel in distress. It wouldn't work in today's world, because people might get offended lol
This is not true at all. People still love this song. It's about yearning for something.
Love your reaction to this and all the other 80s songs.. keep the 80s comin
Okay I'm going to date myself here. "Number 5s alive" 🤦♀️🤣
Johnny 5
Good old short circuit 2
Don't.forget the first one
@@frankhickey4153 the first one was great. But this song was in the second one
"No, Oscar, no!! I am really pissed off!!!"
She’s 73 and still looks good. It was filmed at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and at Veluzat Ranch, California.
The Sanderson Sister? LOL!!! OMG Billy that's great! But even funnier is that it's from the soundtrack to Footloose where a teenage boy moves to BFE and saves the oppressed teenagers by dancing!
It all adds drama and makes me ready to rescue some damsel in distress!
Congrats on 200k!!!

I thought that was what happened to the lead in Voyagers. Hollywood need to be getting a grip on those leading men.
I'm a fan of Bonnie Tyler. this is a great song.
This was amazing.
I have had my hero for almost 35 years. I agree with you about the Hocus Pocus vibes.
Total Eclipse of the Heart, the Literal Version absolutely has to be next.
I can't help but see Kevin Bacon on that tractor from 1984's Footloose!! Great Soundtrack!! 🎧😎
omg I laughed thru your whole reaction
Your shirt is one of the best advertisements around 😉😆
And the ghost brigade will haunt you until you become somebody's hero!
This song was in the 80’s movie “short circuit 2”.
Finally someone who remember the great Johny 5
I loved a video of this song that was all clips of 1980's action cartoons. The song fit perfectly
Heineken used it in a commercial to make "Hold out for a hero until the end of the night" = "look for a guy as the bar is closing" . It also was slowed down and used for a dog adoption commercial.
I first got introduced to this song thanks to Shrek 2

Bonnie Tyler! Oh shit, I gotta sit down for this.
Bruh, I just read your shirt...
Not an arcade game, but this song was used to great effect in Saints Row the Third.
Those backup singers remind me of a vampire movie.
I first heard this song on Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman
For me this song will always be Short Circuit 2's song. :)
It’s on the Footloose soundtrack.
Short Circuit II too.
On the soundtracks of both Footloose and Short Circuit II.
Wait has he not watched both of those movies???
nights without you- dalton maludin
almost maybes- Jordan Davis
chapters- Brett young
She messed up her voice in the studio singing with such passion. We don't get this heavy passionate pop songs anymore. This is a power anthem about men being trash and as a man I rock with it.
Bo Brady and Hope Williams' song on Days of Our Lives. Total classic
Bonnie Tyler and the dude in the Europe thumbnail look so much alike! They're making the same face and everything!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You have to search RUclips but a lot of videos for this song using Final Fantasy clips. Some are extremely well done.
this song was also in the from the 1984 Footloose movie. when they was playing chicken on the tractors....
This song was the theme song for a show in the 80's called "Cover Up"
Playing Cortex Castle in CTR to this song with my friend = boss. xD This is a great song.
Try one of the greats JOAN JETT: "Bad reputation"
in the 80's this song was used for the "Ranger and Iron Mike " competitions and then used as a Recruitment for the Airborne...good times
You had music?...lol
Don’t feel bad. I didn’t know it’s name until Shrek 2
The Footloose soundtrack is one of the best ever!!
Love the T-shirt!

Here comes her white knight ❤️👩🏼🦳 but a Texas Ranger will do 😇
It was used in Detective Pikachu but I have loved this song since I was a kid.
This song was in the originally Footloose.
It was in footloose 😊
You should see the marvel fan videos made to this song, epic also this song was in the original Footloose
Shrek 2 did more justice for this song than the original video. It was made for the coming of Shrek 2

I will never hear this song and not think of Johnny #5 from Short Circuit 2 :)
No she's tired of the bad guys and wants a hero, a good guy, that will protect her ans stand up for her. She wants a man.
Some girls want a bad guy. Some girls want that knight on a white horse.
Until just now, I thought she was singing "like a fire in a flood", not "like a fire in my blood".
her videos are like some cheesy romance novel come to life
need to check out her song "it's a heartache", or if you want the country version with a sad video, Trick pony did a great cover version
I remember buying the Footloose soundtrack album while on an eighth grade field trip. This song was featured on the album, but I don't remember the scene from the film where it was used.

Definitely should react to "Stick that in your county song" by Eric Church, the lyric video.
Hey Billy just gotta put this out there since the songs are simularly themed but you should react to
A hero comes home (Idina Menzel)
Yes the 80s footloose I do not know if they use it in the remake
This song is on the Footloose Soundtrack
There is another version of this that’s really good it’s from the new footloose movie !
Was in the original footloose.
I like the advertisement on the Tee shirt...👴
The choir gives some serious Manos: Hand of Fate vibes. Just saying.
Cro, Tom Servo, and Joel/Mike approve this message.
We're waiting for the hero, Kevin Bacon, to ride in on a tractor and save us!
You should do "burning both ends of the night "
Adam Lambert just did a cover of this. You should check it out! 🔥🔥🔥
