"Holding Out for a Hero" by Aviators

 

Fort Myers, Florida orchestral fantasy rock artist Aviators puts a synth pop spin on "Holding Out for a Hero," the 1984 single from Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler that makes everybody want to cut footloose.

No matter how many times I hear this song while driving, I'm forever glancing over my shoulder looking for emergency vehicles.  Fool me once, shame on me.  Fool me 6,273 times, shame on me still.  

For another Bonnie Tyler cover, Hurra Torpedo's version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" can be found here.

Jess and I were driving along when this song came on my playlist. She asked me, and I believe this is a direct quote:

"Jeremy, why are you listening to... what the.... why in....just, why?"

Audio alone does this one no justice, so here's the video of Hurra Torpedo's live performance of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

From Norse Zach Galifianakis belting out the tune in his blue track suit, to matching suit guy using heavy appliances as percussion to.... just keep watching. Keeeeeep watching.

On a morning that I'm sure we can use a little levity, Hurra Torpedo provide just that, whether you're laughing with them or at them.

Takk skal du ha (I had to look that up. Unfortunately, my Norwegian is a bit shaky.) for the laughs, Hurra Torpedo! And, if you ever need an opener for a brief North Atlantic tour, I know some guys....
