Total Luna Eclipse (of the Heart)
|
|
Did you know yesterday (Feb 21st) is the Lunar Eclipse? What makes this total eclipse special is that the next one of the moon won’t occur until December 21, 2010.
I missed it :/
Of course you know I thought of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. I mean, who wouldn’t?
This power ballard song was Tyler’s biggest hit song from 1983, hitting the Billboard chart at #1 in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK.
The song’s been covered by many artists (including boy-band Westlife), but I only have this really wacky version by Hurra Torpedo, a band out of Oslo, Norway.
Apparently this cover song (from 1995) is their only claim to fame. However, before you dismiss them, I should mention that the most interesting thing: they use kitchen appliances as part of their show!
You can download this song on their website, check out their hilarious live performance (complete with butt-crack):

Dude you should check out the cover by the Dan Band. And check out the rest of his covers too. Some are really good.

Two years ago for Christmas my friend made a cd of all the versions of this song, including the Tori Amos bootleg. Here’s my post about it.
