Offbeat-Gothic Madness: Total Eclipse of the Heart

This entry is dedicated to Maria Concepcion, without whom Eyesex would never have come about.

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a power ballad written in 1983 and sung by the legendary Bonnie Tyler. Apparently it is inspired by Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, according to Wikipedia anyway. But that does explain the uber offbeat-gothic nature of its original music video, check it out!

Seriously, what's with the Ultraman-endorsed mummies?? But yes THAT is what I call offbeat Gothic at its very finest. But other than that, it is a great classic ballad.
