"Totally Fixed Where We Are" - "Total Eclipse of the Heart" adapted by the Marsh Family

- Still stuck with all four kids at home until at least 8 March, and watching to see what impact the rollout of vaccines will have, versus the arrival of new strains of COVID-19. Hopefully we're going to turn a corner soon. In the meantime, we opted to take the mickey out of a classic 80s power ballad. This is our parody version of Jim Steinman's 1983 "Total Eclipse of the Heart" most famously recorded by Bonnie Tyler, which had one of the weirdest music videos ever. It featured lots of disturbing children dancing around a Victorian Gothic hospital in Surrey, so kind of close to home for us...
Totally Fixed Where We Are is an adaptation of Total Eclipse Of The Heart © 1983. Written by James Richard Steinman. Published by Lost Boys Music/BMG Platinum Songs US. All rights administered by BMG Rights Management (UK) Ltd. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

@@MarshFamilySongs Thanks! This gave me a great laugh and I really appreciate it, I shared it with my family. I hope you guys continue to make videos! Thanks to each of you for sharing your talents. :)
@@MarshFamilySongs thanks mate
Hearing this family makes me think there are more good things to listen and watch out there than crazy theories and political commentary.
Awesome family! 😎 Awesome voices!
I just discovered this wonderful family via Vance VP. Why did this bring tears to my eyes?
They really are that good.
Found this channel via Vance VP paradoy. This family is amazing.
@@LegendofBatman Same. Fell in love with them from that one, and it's amazing how many memories this one brings back. Sure I'll be viewing whatever they've got to view all the way through now.
Vance is a big Fan. He can play it at his looser party.
@DanielKibler So funny, I felt a little nostalgic also, in a couple of ways.
I miss the '80s and this song has always made me tear-up a bit🥲 and...
Why couldn't I have found this during lock-down when I sure could have used this song!?😆🤣
Lucky kids with such great parents, lucky parents with such great kids ... And the great British sense of humour lives on!
The littlest girl has a really beautiful voice!
Whilst I agree... all the kids have stunning voices
Love her vibrato! She is my fave singer . That is a great song.Thank you 4 sharing.
I was thinking that, myself.
She´s a plum. 😁
What a talented brilliant family❣️Such beautiful singing voices❣️Bravo to the parents for creating this wonderful cohesive family unit that can bring such joy to us all❣️. This is my fave road song.
holy crap, why is this so good? I accidentally found this and i just expected to see a simple cute family cover, nothing too extreme... i did not expect this masterpiece...seriously i am in awe
Truth
Couldn't agree more
I am a doctor on the frontline from Sydney Australia and in the hardest lockdown the country has seen since the beginning of the pandemic. This has brought us many laughs and relief at a time of such despair. Hilarious lyrics sung with such harmonious beautiful voices. What an amazing talented family you all are. Thank you!
I quite agree!!- a breath of fresh air !!.. thank you Marsh family- God Bless you all
Thank You for being on the frontlines!
Hang in there, we ARE ALL IN
THIS TOGETHER WORLDWIDE. 💙🇺🇸🌎
YES MATE🇦🇺
"Sitting in our dressing gowns and giving off farts" ! It just doesn't get any better than that. Written and produced as well as any studio production I have ever seen, yet all done from home . I'm just in awe !!! My hats off to you Mom and Dad ,for promoting this stellar creativity , and to you awesome siblings for not being " Too Cool" to be a part of this . You may be stuck at home but the education you are all getting here will serve you the rest of your lives. I know it is doing wonderful things for those fans watching . If I could ,I would give you a Million thumbs up and a recording contract!
I am back 6 Months later and just have to add this little comment. At the finale , when you all leaned in and sang "Lord of The Flies" the evil little grin on Thomas's face was picture perfect. I swear that kid has theater in his blood. Perfect Mugging.
Very well said! Totally 💯% agree!
Yup, this is the line that put it over the top for me. I usually hate fart humor, but this was surprising, perfectly delivered, and not overdone. Excellent.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂
COVID started 4 years ago, and yet this song brings tears to my eyes. What a sad and lonely time! So glad this family made the best of it and entertained us at the same time :)
The Marsh Family is an inspiration where creativity, humor, love and commitment thrive. Wow. Those parents are remarkable to teach and support these children. Now that is a family~
Yes, I agree with this
What else they gonna do? 😏
Outstanding. Children's voices astonishing, and lovely to see the family co-operate like this (despite what you say)
For real. Not an average family. Funny, talented and relatable 👍
Great. Thanks....
Chill they just a normal family with a Bit to much Self-confidents
All there voices were good and worked well with each other.
Boy can this family sing, I can’t thank them enough for sharing their talent and making everybody laugh
Hilarious!!! Love the "angst dance" while everyone else is on their phones. So talented!!!
I know, and the drama Dad has to do so the next verse can start
IKR!?!?
I am overjoyed to find there is more than “just” the brilliant Les Mis performance. How you manage to each have such talent in one family I can’t imagine but I’m SOOOOOO glad you do. Your performances, smiles, the vocal timing, the angst dancing, the intelligent observation of our situation coupled with the mundane reality and the joy and humour of it all. Wow. I’m blown away and could gush for hours. When you release you album it must be on DVD as seeing you is so much part of it. And when you tour I’d pay good money to see you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Together you have increased the sum of human happiness in these grinding times. I’m subscribed.
This, is the single greatest thing I have ever seen. I don't know where to start! The coreography, the attention to detail. An utter masterpiece, worthy of a Grammy award!
Yes! I’m addicted :3
Why am I crying all the way through this? The skills of your family and the humor and playfulness are so beautiful.
Made me choke up too! What a wonderful family of singers
Every single one of you sound WONDERFUL. You are all so talented!! That “giving off farts!” was belted out!! AMAZING!!!🤩
I enjoy your family’s dynamic. And I love your singing and lyrics. Hearing your remakes makes me go and listen to the originals. And I find myself disappointed in the originals! I miss the way one of you sings a line especially beautifully. So I just come back and listen to y’all again!😊
I hope you continue singing songs together for a very long time. Thank you all for working so hard and sharing your wonderful voices with the world.❤
Made me smile from the beginning to the end.
"We're here all week." 'No we're not, we're here for the rest of our lives."
Fantastic -and they can sing! Thank you.
It is not unusual to have one good singer in the family, but to have 6 great singers is something else. Well done to all of you, especially the ones who wrote the lyrics.
I belong to a Men's Shed in Adelaide, South Australia, and we have a music group that plays every Friday afternoon. I can't wait to show them your videos and hopefully, they can also write their own lyrics to some well known songs. Keep up the great work everyone.
Not just 6 great singers, but 7! Don’t forget the dog! Some perfect notes howled by the dog with great musicality in some of the videos!
the only howl you'll hear is when the song Under Pressure starts
How on earth you got the whole family to do this is unbelievable to me. This is wonderful!.. and for real, really good voices. Thank you for giving so much of yourselves to entertain us. This is exactly what is needed right now. I'm going to learn the angst dance tomorrow during my exercise time. Just know you helped an old lady feel better about life today. What a wonderful family.
YEAH...I KNOW RIGHT!
Holy crap. Thank you, Marsh Family.
Absolute class, Thank you all for giving the nation belly laughs when we need it most 👍😆
Never mind how talented the entire family is - how the heck did they get all the kids to do this TOGETHER, AND, with PARENTS?
The joy of lockdown.... Anything for a bit of variety!
Responsible, caring, interactive, understanding, thoughtful parenting - doesn't take much but it costs nothing except hard work or effort.
^^yes I know it's bloody obvious^^ but for some (who need help or advice or a nudge) it's there written down for them
Big respect and lots of love to the parents of mum & dad Marsh - you did yourselves proud. Same message to the whole Marsh family.
In the voice of Michael York's Oliver Twist "Please Sir Can I have some more?"
I subbed :)
I’d say the credit goes to the parents. They’ve got to be something special, and be doing something right. That’s hard to find these days.
“Interpretive angst dance”!! This is wonderful! So many people are having such a hard time with isolation (like me); this is an absolutely gift. Thank you!
Tears running down my face as i've binged on the Marsh Family this morning after hearing them on BBC R4 Saturday Live! Hilarious and uplifting - thank-you!
Whenever I watch this, I feel 100% more happy.
I was shoveling some snow here in Colorado, USA today, and found myself singing this song, with YOUR lyrics! lol I was afraid to do the interpretive angst dance, but still gave myself a chuckle. CHEERS! BRILLIANT!
I have to say, bravo marsh family, Ive been kicking about a farm house alone for months, not much makes me smile anymore, but this truly made me happy. I thank you. A beautiful family.
❤❤❤❤ 3 years on I'm still loving your songs, kept millions strong thru these terrible time❤❤❤❤❤
You're all really good, but that youngest boy is incredible. His voice, facial expressions, and dance moves in these videos makes me think he's gonna go somewhere with his gift! A natural entertainer!
Ok this is the absolute best thing I have ever seen. "Once were bright eyed, now we're totally lord of the flies.", that is a beautiful line. Thanks made the staff on our hospital unit belly laugh, something that we have very little of. Much love
My life is better for having watched this.
Exactly!!! I feel so uplifted by the creativity and joy of this family.
Marsh Family, you all are so talented. Thanks for bringing some humour into the lives of those who hear your music.
This is one VERY talented family.
A very talented family with great taste in music!
Congratulations, great and funny video, greetings from Colombia!
When art comes around to lift us out of a miserable situation. Absolutely brilliant.
Just letting you guys know that you’ve literally gone all the way around the world! I live in Australia and enjoy all your video clips. Please, don’t stop!!!
I know it's a great video when I get goose bumps on the third watch. Oh, if only all families where like this one what a beautiful planet this would be. Thank you. I am from Kent btw :)
This made my day!! I found this because the legend herself, Bonnie Tyler, shared it on Facebook!!!
I am a singer and voice teacher and I ADORE YOU!! Talent, creativity, gorgeous singing, so musical and SO FUNNY! And all of you are making wonderful memories as a Family❤️
What a wonderful family! Making the best of difficult situations and giving us all grin or two.
Well, if nothing else, lockdown has done wonders for their voices. Compare this to last year's Les Mis, and it's clear how much they've improved (and they were pretty great then). Lord of the Flies, interpretive dance, and the addition of the conch to their repertoire... There seems to be no end to their creativity. Well done!
Love the “Lord of the Flies “reference . I was just explaining the book to my 11 yr old grandson. I’ll make sure he sees this video. Fantastic song, Fantastic Family talent!
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in the recent times! What a lovely family! Kudos to the mom and dad for doing a wonderful job of parenting! Best thing is the lovely smiles they give each other while performing ! Keep them coming please!! Cheers!!
No idea why this suddenly appeared on my "feed" (never come across it before) but I'm so glad it did.
Brilliant! Awesome! Kudos to parents for raising such wonderful and talented kids. Congrats to the kids on such cool parents and keeping them in the loop. I hope you know how lucky each of you are for having each other and for having a family that comes together to make something so magical. You did yourselves proud - thank you! You have cheered and raised the spirits of so many with your talent, personality and family pride. Thank you again.
That was awesome. I'm glad to see there's still people who can bring us a smile in gloomy times.
Do you promise there’s not a fifth child who hates music and is upstairs playing online chess?!!! Terrific !
No only wolf ( the dog)
I showed this to a class today and they ALL really loved it. ALL of the students.
Hello Mr Alexander! I am Jacob.G!
I keep coming back to this one in particular. Everyone is spot-on, and there are some great power-ballad vocals from everyone. I've been alone in lockdown here in the States for almost a year, but this has certainly cheered me. Well done, gang
Yeah, Tom, absolutely right... I've played it over and over again, enjoying the harmonies and clever lyrics. Just brilliant!
I’ve watched about 15 times already. Never gets old 🤣
Bonus they're Aussie, and given that they mentioned "third lockdown", melbourneans xD So they've got plenty of fuel lol
You're brilliant! Made me cry and laugh at the same time: we are all in this together! Lots of love from Germany
Brought a much needed laugh to our household. Can totally relate to everything. Thank you!
Thank you for singing what so many of us are feeling.
Is it bad that I have watched this video every night since it was sent to me last month? Don’t judge me. I love this family.
This is really fantastic, well done. You've managed to make it both poignant and funny at the same time, quite an achievement. And all of you sing it so well, it sounds like everyone really committed to it. One of your best, I think. Your videos are one of the true highlights of lockdown. More!
I completely agree.
as someone living alone, you have made me smile, and made my eyes water as well... Thank you all xx
I hope that you all appreciate each other and what you have got as a family.... even when you hate each other.....!!!
A very rare grouping ...
Enjoy, and make the most of it.
I would love to have been a part of such a family.
Cannot believe this family is getting nasty comments. Don’t watch if you have nothing nice to say. This family is accomplishing more during lockdown than most. I hated this song in the 80s, but I can watch this several times and still giggle. More please.
Nasty comments? I can't see any. In fact, the comments here are the most uplifting ones I've seen for a while.
Anybody notice the boys have fantastic, versatile voices?
Er, and the girls.... And their parents! Superb package...!
Thought the same!
Yes, and the older girl a beautiful soprano voice.......amazing, and very entertaining. God bless 'em for doing that!
All of them do. They’re just amazing ❤️
Yeah, came here from the Vance video and didn't even know the boys could sing. Amazing.
Do you know what the mark of a really good person is, they make the world a better place to live in. Definition of the Marsh Family, 6 people and a dog making the world a better place to live in!!! I really dont think you all realise what a huge positive difference you are making to people's lives globally!!!Personally, Im in the UK and you lift my spirits night and day, I sing your lyrics to chase my negative demons away, especially in the middle of the night when I cant sleep. I think we have all adopted you as our own family!!! Thank you is too too little for so so so so much!! Youre better than any medical prescription for depression!!! Hope school and freedom for parents is going well, don't stay away too long though, We miss you already!!!
Hear, hear!
Just ran across the 7th recompression of this and the quality is waning but your voices are still amazing. Prompted me to search out the original. This is brilliant. Beautiful voices, great humor.
9gag?
Absolute favorite thing I've seen in ages. I love how well everyone's voices mixed. The lyrics were great! My favorite parts were the interpretive angst dance and the lord of the flies conch at the end. Solid all around! Kiddos are talented as well as the parents! Thanks for the smile!
Those were my favourite parts too 😍
I love it! Your family deserve the grammy, oscar, gold medal and world cup!
Grammys, Tonys, Emmys, Golden Globs, people Choice Awards, they deserve them all.
Ah yes the Golden Globs. My favorite award show!
Ha! Golden "Globs" 😁
Never knew a little islander in the tropics could find this so amusing. Hello from Jamaica..... you got my subscription
I've never actually seen someone play a conch shell before haha. Kudos to the parents for arranging the music in a way that compliments all their voices!
Bravo!!! I just can't stop watching! lol Just "met" the Marsh Family. Those voices! I don't even have words. Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful family's amazing talent and incredible humor. A great big Hello from Eastern Canada!
Can't stop listening because it's legimately a beautiful cover! Beautiful AND funny! LOL! Everyone's voices! The vibrato! The harmonies! I swear y'all are getting better by the lockdown day! I'm not a kid but can you adopt me? 😂
This is brilliant :-) I felt lucky to have 3 kids who would sing in a quartet with me but this is next level awesome! These kids have got amazing harmony skills - their school choirs are very lucky to have them :-)
Been in a bad mood since yesterday when our German government announced lockdown continues still without an exit plan, despite our numbers being so much better. This is the first thing that made me not just smile but laugh out loud. We have three kids (3, 6, 8) and this could be straight from our house! Love you guys for this, thank you so much! Off to do my own Angst dance now!
💞
Makes me laugh and cry at the same time - quite amazing ...
OMG!!! You guys really sing and blend very well! Thats true! I love your lyrics edited and the way you guys sing! 😍😍😍😍😍
Angst - Tanz!! Sehr gut!!
Go Go Angelika, whe are almost there! One more effort!
A very talented family, good voices, especially the children
Just brilliant. You have to find a song where Mrs Marsh can really let go- she's sooo good!
Isn't she amazing! They all are.
yees!!!
You guys are amazing! Every one of you is a good vocalist. The lyrics literally had me in tears, thanks so much for brightening my day.
These guys have lightened up a dark part of our lives! This has brought a smile to my face and probably thousands of others! Well done you brilliant the Marsh Family 😘x
2040 history teachers will make their students watch this and then write an essay on how the pandemic affected families.
In 2040 the pandemic will probably still be happening
WOW. You'll going to be a celebrity family soon! Really brilliant, talented, and ever-so-funny family song!! Thanks so much for sharing.
OMG ANOTHER GOLD RECORD!! YOU GUYS CAN'T STOP!! MORE MORE PLEASE DO MORE!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL🙏🙏
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC - loved that, loved the words , loved the enthusiasm, love you as a family. What an absolutely wonderful thing to do. Well done, that made me smile sooooo much.
This is legendary, mythical, fabulous. Thank you Marsh Family. You have a friend in Turkey.
What a wonderful family! Amazing voices, witty lyrics, ... and the angst dance! I love every second of it. Thank you so much for giving us a ray of sun. You guys are immensely talented and thank you for giving us so much JOY. Love and KUDOS from France
Again, Outstanding!! Amazing, talented family!
This. This is nothing less than a gift from the heavens.
Wow, much appreciated from the other side of the pond Marsh Family. Watched it for a little laugh but seeing other families struggling with the same stress and aggravations as my own actually got me a little choked up (honestly). We have just 2 boys and are in South Carolina, hopefully things will start to get a bit better soon. Hoping for the best, stay safe Walsh Family!
Brilliant! Made me laugh out loud "just sitting in our dressing gowns and giving off farts". And not only are you funny, but all amazingly talented! Well done guys!
Absolutely brilliant family more great songs please, love them all.
Gorgeous voices- and I love the interpretive angst dance.
Thank you and many greetings from Germany. The video is great! We people all over the world must stick together and not allow us to be taken away from the "most beautiful" of all the "arts", the music, through a never-ending lockdown, forever!
Yes. It has been so DARK since theatres were closed on March 13th...
This really hit home. Between working with Year 7s online and having a 6-year-old at home... my wife and I were in tears we were laughing so hard. Brilliant!
Lol. What a great ,funny and talented family. Love this family. I just found them. The only good thing of other phone breaking on me.
My goodness those kids can sing! Lovely! the whole family has a beautiful sound.
This is freaking amazing!!! The whole entire family is talented!
What an amazing combination of talent and humor! It's so heartwarming to see a family creating fun together in the midst of a global hardship. Greeting from Ecuador.
Donde en Ecuador?
This is absolutely delightful, especially the interpretive dancing
Wednesday I was having my first proper lockdown wobble, the cracks were finally starting to show and then this came up in my Facebook timeline and brought me back. I've watched is so many times since and each time it's made me smile. Thank you.
PS. Your are all amazing singers and your kids do your proud. Keep it up!
I can’t stop listening! Such great talent! Keep them coming!
I've loved watching all your songs but this one is my favourite. You cheer up so many people with your cleverly written words, humour and beautiful singing. You deserve so much credit for everything you do and I wish you every success for the future. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Listening in Jamaica... 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 it's awesome... one love
No one has talked about that outstanding harmony at 1:42????? Come on dad and son yes!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh my!!! This is already the best video of 2021, congratulations to the amazing family!!! Stay strong in your isolation, we´re trying to do the same around here (but our Brazilian president is running in the opposite way). Best wishes to you all!!!
“Can’t be arsed with the park” lol Classic.
I don't understand it; is it a UK expression?
Please explain.
To make an effort to do something, you have to "get off your arse"! Hence "can't be arsed" means don't feel it worthwhile to make the effort of standing up and doing something.
@@Msterieus1 It's exactly the same as "can't be bothered".
