Jim Steinman wrote this. Along with big hits by Meat Loaf (Bat Out of Hell, I’d Do Anything for Love), Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse of the Heart), and Air Supply (Making Love Out of Nothing at All). There are many others, but you get the idea. He wrote very cinematic, big songs.
Yes they DO exist...for sure! I had one too for almost 45 years! That's why no one else could ever compare. I absolutely love when Black Pegasus gets so excited over music!! 😄😄😄
I love this song too. Me and my 3 sons all play console and computer games. My oldest son used to play this song when he was doing dungeon runs in the computer game World of Warcraft. It was in my playlist too and when it came on while in a dungeon I had to keep it on repeat. It was perfect.
Jim Steinman was an amazing songwriter, composer, piano player and producer. And this song KILLS IT whenever it's used. Footloose, Short Circuit 2, Shrek 2, and Saints Row the Third... the last one is during a mission where you can choose vengeance or saving your friends. I choose saving Shaundi and company Every. Single. TIME. Which is the canon ending because the game producers couldn't conceive of any way their Boss WOULDN'T do this. ALSO on Glee, where the future Supergirl Melissa Benoist sang it but dressed up as a knockoff Wonder Woman... still absolutely hilarious in hindsight. (Also how long it took them to do a musical episode with two of the better singers from Glee and the original Collins from RENT in the casts of Supergirl and The Flash, AND a DC character named the Music Meister that they got _another_ of the stronger Glee singers to play, but I digress.)
David Copperfield did a TV special where he "levitated" across the Grand Canyon, while Bonnie Tyler sang this song while waiting for him on the other side.
He's likely not proud of that one given that he has never included it in his compilation specials (just like the Bermuda Triangle trick). Pretty easy to see that they simply cut to a replica of him.
Bonnie Tyler has an incredible voice. This song was used in the movie FOOTLOOSE. The raspy vocals that she has is incredible. This is another song that Bonnie has had huge success with that is written & produced by Jim Steinman, famous for his writing and producing for MEATLOAF. His sound is so recognizable. He also wrote Bonnie's song "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
This was also the theme song for a TV show called CoverUp from 1984. Ended with an accidental gun shot and the main characters death. RIP Jon Erik Hexum
shot himself in thehead the gun had blanks in it. for those who do not know bullets are propelled by the gas produced by igniting of the gun powder blanks have no projectile but the gas still have to go somewhere out the barrel
The song is from the early 80’s and men and women at that time are VERY different from men and women today. Saying she’s asking a lot isn’t accurate, well maybe in 2024 sure but not in 1984. Then too, what women (at least most) gave back was equivalent as well. My interpretation of “fresh from the fight” isn’t an actual fight(MMA/Boxing etc) but a hard days work. 🤷♂️ but that’s just my interpretation. I remember this was the main theme song for the TV show Cover Up. It ended after 1 season because the main male lead died from an accidental discharge of a gun he was holding.
lol.. my hubby of 27 yrs is my absolute hero.. flaws and all.. met when we were 17 and damn it was those baby blues that hit me like a brick.. the strongest person i know.. looks can pull you in but it's the soul that will keep you or make you run..
Bonnie Tyler is from my hometown called Swansea (pronounced Swanzee) in Wales uk, she is a legend here in Wales and this is one of my all time fave songs of her's and was used in the movie Footloose soundtrack.
So pleased that you found Bonnie Tyler! Please look for the official video for Total Eclipse Of The Heart. The official video for that is *beyond weird!!!* Edit....just found BPs reaction from a month ago. 😊
@@snowysnowyriver that's what I was going for, that Jim wrote that song for Bonnie. Contrary to popular belief, the background singer who was doing the " turnaround" part in the song wasn't Meat Loaf, but sounded similar. I believe the song was originally going to be used in a vampire based play written by Jim, but the plans fell through.
Interesting you mentioned Total Eclipse Of The Heart, because the other link between that and Holding Out For A Hero is none other than Jim Steinman (of Mealoaf collaboration fame) - both songs have that Steinman bombast we know and love. I remember Holding Out For A Hero first from being the theme tune to the TV show "Cover Up", but that version was sung by someone else - it wasn't until many years later that I found out Bonnie did a version (and today is the first time I'd seen the video for it!).
Good ole Bonnie aka Gaynor from Swansea Wales uk....same place as actress singer Catherine Zeta Jones....about 33 miles from me..she did very well considering docs thought she would not be able to sing again.
Ok, so I have never seen the video either, don't know why, I was around when this charted! But any song that makes you THAT happy should be on your always playlist. I loved this reaction 😂😍
This song was on the video that after graduating PARIS ISLAND 1990 was put together with our Company during our training. They did it for all the companies I guess. You could order it And the sent it to your home . it had film of the graduation on the back end.
Written by Jim Steinman, the same guy that wrote both of Meatloaf's 'Bat Out of Hell' albums. You should also check out "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", written by him, originally by a group called 'Pandora's Box', (but more famously covered by Celine Deon). Lots of his stuff have that epic/operatic thing going.
This song was written and produced by Jim Steinman, who also wrote and produced..."I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" by Air Supply and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler... and "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", "Bat Out Of Hell" ....
In the early 80s Bonnie was holding out for a hero. However, by the 2000s she was settling for Keith from accounts (whilst she was still able to have kids) - He''s no hero, but he's a nice lad with his own house and his own hair.
Wow this really breaks it down to the raw humanity of loving someone, accepting them and sadly saying goodbye! I was impressed with the vulnerability that James Blunt showed in this song!
There was a show in the 80s that used this as the theme song that I loved. It was an action series called "COVER UP."The show is about two adventurers who pose as a model and photographer while on location for their missions, which are actually for a CIA organization. One of the stars wise career was just beginning to take off was Jon-Erik Hexum. Sadly he accidentally shot himself with a prop gun on set.
Oh my God. Jon-Eric Hexum. His loss was terrible. I've been on movie sets where firearms were used. Just like in 'Rust', the guns on that set were mishandled. Hexum shot himself in the head by accident. Dunno if you remember - but that set was plagued by several accidents caused by incompetence.
This is such a great song! Does anyone remember it from Shrek 2? It was performed by the Fairy Godmother. British comedian/actress Jennifer Saunders voiced/sang the Fairy Godmother. I've been a fan for decades and had no clue she could sing! It's awesome. But this is truly the OG version!
This song was used in a hit US tv show back in the 80's 'Cover Up' a Glen A Larson creation. The tv show came out the same year (1984) so i suspect the song was written specifically for this tv show.
This was in the movie "Shrek" which is one of my favorite movies. Bonnie Tyler had a few hits in the 80's so she at least was not a "one hit wonder" but she was not a thing for very long. I appreciate your reaction to this song and for bringing back good memories for a real 80's girl.
Fun Facts This song was written by Jim Steinman & Dean Pitchford. Steinman is known for his collaborations with Meatloaf. He's written I'll Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That), Bat Out of Hell & more. The opening chorus as well as melody is taken from Jim Steinman's song "Stark Raving Love" from the solo album "Bad for Good" Which I do recommend listening to. This song was used for the Kevin Bacon film Footloose, a film Dean Pitchford wrote. It was also in Short Circuit 2 & others. The song was later covered for Shrek 2. This wouldn't be the last time Bonnie Tyler & Jim Steinman would collaborate. They would work on Total Eclipse of the Heart (which you've listened to) and others. This would be one of the few Steinman songs Meatloaf didn't cover as most of Steinman's popular songs were covered by him or originated by him. The song is representative of Ariel, the lead female character who's a small town girl and daughter of the local minister with Kevin Bacons character Ren as the city boy who comes to sweep her off her feet and make a heroic change.

Theme song for the 1984 TV Series "Cover Up". Starring Jennifer O'Neill and Jon-Erik Hexum (The Hero), Special Forces investigations using a modelling agency as a cover. Great series.
I was hoping someone would mention the TV show Cover Up. Jon-Erik Hexum RIP would have been a larger-than-life actor if he hadn't accidentally shot himself. (He was playing with a pistol with blanks. Blanks have everything in it that real bullet has except for a projectile. He was irritated at a shoot delay and aimed the pistol point-blank next to his head.)
@@brendasorenson6186 I immediately loaded and searched the comments before the video started just to see if Cover-Up was mentioned. I cried when they showed about his passing at the end of the final episode. I was 14 at the time.
There are men out there like this. I didn't believe it either, but I found one 11 years ago. We had 9 wonderful years together before he passed. I call this song his theme song!
Schrek II and Footloose that I remember.. by the way, I agree, this song raises the bar a little too high.. While we're at it, somebody tell Shania that if you are a rocket scientist,... THAT impresses me!!!
As much as I love Bonnie Tyler, this song (and others-Total Eclipse of the Heart always gets me in my feels), Love you a lot more! I watch tons of reaction vids and found your Ren (and Chinchilla's, )love , first timing again with much of the thrillas. You're the best Black Pegasus!
Produced by the late Jim Steinman. Written by him and Dean Pitchford. Featured in the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Footloose. Great 👍 The late Jim Steinman wrote for many musicians. Dean Pitchford is the co writer in every song of this movie 🎥 except for the bonus songs. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Peter Cetera and Cher sing After All. 2 Celine Dion sings It's All Coming Back to Me Now
Whenever I hear this song it takes me back to Bo & Hope on Days of Our Lives we all (even the boys) watched when I was in high school. Lol I really like the song itself too though.
I remember back in the mid 1980's... There was a TV Series starring Jennifer O'Neil and Jon-Erik Hexum called Cover Up... The main title track for the series... Was "Holding Out For A Hero"... However... It was a cover version that was used and performed by the Singer and Actress Elizabeth Daily... The reason that Bonnie Tyler's original version wasn't used... Was probably due to the fact that Elizabeth Daily was dating the male star of Cover Up... Jon-Erik Hexum... Sadly he later died from an incident involving a blank cartridge round that was fired on the set of the TV Series Cover Up... You can still watch full episodes of Cover Up on UA-cam... And you can also listen to Elizabeth Daily's TV Series version too. 👍

Heroes do exist. Mine has been with me for 36 years and nursed me through three cancers. I call that pretty heroic. 💕
Did he fight a huge toad with bad feet? If not it doesn't count
Love Bonnie Tyler!!!!! Her "Total Eclipse of the Heart" one of the top iconic songs ever!!!
Absolutely.
@@timradde4328 I like Lost In France,
It was written by Jim Steinman who also wrote Holding Out For A Hero.
What are you drinking Robert , just curious?
Jim Steinman wrote this. Along with big hits by Meat Loaf (Bat Out of Hell, I’d Do Anything for Love), Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse of the Heart), and Air Supply (Making Love Out of Nothing at All). There are many others, but you get the idea. He wrote very cinematic, big songs.
I always think of Meat loaf when I hear Bonnie Tyler 😂
He and Dean Pitchford. Good 👍 song 🎵
Was used in footloose. Original.
That entire soundtrack is fire. I wore that record out when I was a kid. 🌞
Also used in "Short Circuit 2"
Wales has produced a lot of powerful singers!
Also it was used in one of the Shrek movies!
that's how I remember it
Yes they DO exist...for sure! I had one too for almost 45 years! That's why no one else could ever compare. I absolutely love when Black Pegasus gets so excited over music!! 😄😄😄
She is from my home city in Swansea Wales UK, she still is known to do these numbers on kareoke nights down the local pubs in Mumbles strip.
You are lying. It cannot be.
I love this song too. Me and my 3 sons all play console and computer games. My oldest son used to play this song when he was doing dungeon runs in the computer game World of Warcraft. It was in my playlist too and when it came on while in a dungeon I had to keep it on repeat. It was perfect.
"Limelight" from Bonnie Tyler is my favorite... so powerfull .
Jim Steinman was an amazing songwriter, composer, piano player and producer. And this song KILLS IT whenever it's used. Footloose, Short Circuit 2, Shrek 2, and Saints Row the Third... the last one is during a mission where you can choose vengeance or saving your friends. I choose saving Shaundi and company Every.

Shout out for mentioning Saints Row.
David Copperfield did a TV special where he "levitated" across the Grand Canyon, while Bonnie Tyler sang this song while waiting for him on the other side.
Thank you. I couldn't remember which special it was. For some reason, I was thinking Statue of liberty or great wall being the illusion
I totally remember watching that broadcast!! David Copperfield specials on TV were legit events you planned to watch!!
He's likely not proud of that one given that he has never included it in his compilation specials (just like the Bermuda Triangle trick). Pretty easy to see that they simply cut to a replica of him.

Shrek 2 and Short Circuit 2...I loved the scenes where this was used. It really does just have a something that just gets things pumped.
Ummm.....and FOOTLOOSE!
It was originally part of Footloose.
playing 'Chicken' with farm tractors.
Man that scene with Johnny 5 racing the clock at the end with this blasting...makes me get teary-eyed each time
@@rhyssaliekos73 Johnny 5 is alive!!!! 😂
Bonnie still lives in Swansea in Wales and is still touring in Europe and also soon off to Australia and New Zealand 👍
It was filmed at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and at Veluzat Ranch, California. Damn she’s 73 and looks just as good today
Jim Steinman, the genius behind many songs for Bonnie Tyler and my fav Meatloaf
This was also the theme song for a TV show called CoverUp from 1984. Ended with an accidental gun shot and the main characters death. RIP Jon Erik Hexum

Definitely one of the best hype songs ever made, this one of those songs which can hype you up at any time. Great for working out and training
This song was on the video that after graduating PARIS ISLAND 1990 was put together with our Company during our training. They did it for all the companies I guess. You could order it
And the sent it to your home . it had film of the graduation on the back end.
I think we all have our own idea of what 'our' hero should be! I know i had a hero! Lost him in 2003. He was my hero before, and he always will be! ❤

DID YOU SAY NOOKIE ??? LIMP BIZKIT "NOOKIE" .... YOU'LL LOVE IT BRO !!! A BANGER !
Did it all for the Nookie
loosen up bro! free yourself!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
This song was written and produced by Jim Steinman, who also wrote and produced..."I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" by Air Supply and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler... and "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", "Bat Out Of Hell" ....
Bonnie Tyler recorded her own version of "Making Love Out Of Nothing at all" with some modified lyrics from Steinman!
This song is also just one of his old songs ( Stark raving love ) and he's just changed the lyrics
In the early 80s Bonnie was holding out for a hero.
However, by the 2000s she was settling for Keith from accounts (whilst she was still able to have kids) - He''s no hero, but he's a nice lad with his own house and his own hair.

It's the solid gold Dancers
It's not the girls who demand this - the song is written by a guy :)
So was "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", but the performer tends to bring their own spin to it.
Another great song of Bonnie Tyler’s is called It’s A Heartache!🎉
Bonnie Tyler is Welsh Ebro brilliant singer
There was a show in the 80s that used this as the theme song that I loved.

Came to the comments to mention this show. So glad I'm not the only one that remembers
I came to say the same thing and left a link to the Show's opening.
One of my favourite hype songs. So good
Time to listen to It's A Heartache. That might be my favorite Bonnie Tyler song. It is the first one I ever heard way back in the day.
Brave woman to stand up there on that piece of rock.
I haven't heard this in like forever. 😊
" I can be your hero baby" 🤣🤣🤣
I love this…. Love always oldies.
Steinman didn't know how to do anything that wasn't an epic. The man was a genius, and always managed to find the perfect voice for his music.
Great song. Great vocalist. Thanks💛👍🏼
Don't take everything she's saying so literally. A Good man can be a hero to a good woman, just for being a Gentleman. Muchblove💖💖💖🙏🏼
It was used in Footloose, Cover Up, Shrek 2... My fav of her songs is Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts
This song was on the sound track for the movie Footloose. It has been used in a lot of different sports events.
Your enjoyment during these reactions is awesome. Thanks for all you do.
This is such a great song! Does anyone remember it from Shrek 2? It was performed by the Fairy Godmother. British comedian/actress Jennifer Saunders voiced/sang the Fairy Godmother. I've been a fan for decades and had no clue she could sing! It's awesome. But this is truly the OG version!

Fun Facts
This song was written by Jim Steinman & Dean Pitchford.
Steinman is known for his collaborations with Meatloaf. He's written I'll Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That), Bat Out of Hell & more.
The opening chorus as well as melody is taken from Jim Steinman's song "Stark Raving Love" from the solo album "Bad for Good" Which I do recommend listening to.
This song was used for the Kevin Bacon film Footloose, a film Dean Pitchford wrote. It was also in Short Circuit 2 & others.
The song was later covered for Shrek 2.
This wouldn't be the last time Bonnie Tyler & Jim Steinman would collaborate. They would work on Total Eclipse of the Heart (which you've listened to) and others.
This would be one of the few Steinman songs Meatloaf didn't cover as most of Steinman's popular songs were covered by him or originated by him.

Theme song for the 1984 TV Series "Cover Up". Starring Jennifer O'Neill and Jon-Erik Hexum (The Hero),
Special Forces investigations using a modelling agency as a cover. Great series.
I was hoping someone would mention the TV show Cover Up. Jon-Erik Hexum RIP would have been a larger-than-life actor if he hadn't accidentally shot himself. (He was playing with a pistol with blanks.

There are men out there like this. I didn't believe it either, but I found one 11 years ago. We had 9 wonderful years together before he passed. I call this song his theme song!
I feel for you, as the same happened to me but my husband lasted a bit longer. They will always be our Hero's
"Fresh from the fight" can mean someone who just finished fighting.
C.I.A'd that shit
This was the theme song for a series from the 80s called Cover Up
That's just a formality, I have that man, cause he takes care of me
The first time I remember hearing this song was from a David Copperfield commercial, where she's singing it too.
Footloose!!!

It was also the theme song for the short lived tv series Cover Up
Good lord man! How have you never seen the original video?!?
Excellent tip of the hat to the Lone Ranger and other Cowboy hero theme.
Someone took this song and put it to clips from the last episode of season 2 of the Mandalorian. Awesome.

Written by him and Dean Pitchford. Featured in the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Footloose. Great 👍
The late Jim Steinman wrote for many musicians. Dean Pitchford is the co writer in every song of this movie 🎥 except for the bonus songs.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Peter Cetera and Cher sing After All. 2 Celine Dion sings It's All Coming Back to Me Now
You'll notice the song only says that she's holding out "Til the end of the night".
Was las used in the 80's as the theme tune for a US tv series called "Cover Up" .
The video is as epic as the song is. I've always loved this song and video and always sang along with it.❤
my youth!! great song
Whenever I hear this song it takes me back to Bo & Hope on Days of Our Lives we all (even the boys) watched when I was in high school. Lol I really like the song itself too though.
I have to be in the right mind set to listen to this song. Right before bed is a big mistake, just before working out, perfect.
I remember back in the mid 1980's... There was a TV Series starring Jennifer O'Neil and Jon-Erik Hexum called Cover Up... The main title track for the series... Was "Holding Out For A Hero"... However... It was a cover version that was used and performed by the Singer and Actress Elizabeth Daily... The reason that Bonnie Tyler's original version wasn't used... Was probably due to the fact that Elizabeth Daily was dating the male star of Cover Up... Jon-Erik Hexum... Sadly he later died from an incident involving a blank cartridge round that was fired on the set of the TV Series Cover Up... You can still watch full episodes of Cover Up on UA-cam... And you can also listen to Elizabeth Daily's TV Series version too. 👍
He put that gun to his own head. And the percussion killed him
Was used in a TV series about models in the 1980s.
Best song and best scene from "Footloose" with the tractors playing chicken.
