Moving into New Romantic territory
Billie Jean and Let's Dance should walk this.
How the HECK is Total Eclipse of the Heart down in fifth place?! This is an 80's poll...TEOTH is as brilliantly 80's as it gets. It's bonkers. An epic, over blown, over wrought, overly emotional soft rock power ballad sung by a bouffantly mulleted gravelly voiced welsh female vocalist. And the video...oh my god, the video!
It will be an absolute tragedy if this piece of musical and visual madness the apotheosis of 80s-ness goes out in the opening round. A farce and a massive slap in the face to the entire concept of the decade.
Save this competition. Save the decade. Save Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Jim Steinman knows how to write themTotal Eclipse of the Heart is one of the greatest songs of ALL time. That's a fact that Trump, the alt-right and the lame stream media can all agree on.
