It's a total eclipse
Speaking of the 80's, I've definitely been on a corny 80's song kick lately. Presumbly, when these songs came out they were taken seriously, but now I love them because they are so campy and just scream 1980's. I'm talking, of course, about Journey's Don't Stop Believing - which was the Cleveland Indians' song last year before AJ Pierzynski stole it; It's Raining Men, and two Bonnie Tyler classics: Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out For A Hero.
I think it's pretty obvious why Total Eclipse of the Heart is popular:
Holding Out For a Hero has a special place in my heart, as well. Short Circuit 2 was a silly movie I used to love watching back in the day, and in the climactic scene, Johnny 5 chases the villain to that song. Let me tell you, that brings back some memories. (See about 4:50 into this Johnny 5 revenge montage):
