"Heaven is a Place on Earth" by Elvenking


 

Back in 1987, it was always a treat to flip on VH1 and watch the video for "Heaven is a Place on Earth."  You know, Belinda Carlisle in all of her insane hotness dancing around those creepy kids who wore Zorro masks and held light up globes while riding a Gravitron and shit?

And, you'd be totally into the vibe of the music, but would wonder how much it could be improved if an Italian hair metal band would rock it out on an electric violin.

But then, you'd get all disappointed, because a violin playing Italian hair metal band would never, not in a million years, cover it.

Then you'd watch "Full House."

And then, two decades later, Elvenking would say (more than likely in Italian), "Never in a million years, eh?  Hold our tankards of ale, wenches!"
