Total Eclipse of the Heart
I'm sure you all remember Bonnie Tyler's 1983 worldwide hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart", or at least the 1994 Nicki French remake. What you may not remember is the original music video. Actually, I should say "what you may not have seen", because this is the sort of thing that sticks in your mind.
Not quite as good as "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper", but definitely memorable -- if only for the chillingly literal interpretation of the line "turn around bright eyes".
Oh yes, and the video also appears to be set at the Neverland School for the Sexual Exploitation of Boys.
And there's a brief scene with ninjas (!) about 1:15 minutes in.

I remember this video, but what I didn't remember is that it has everything a girl could want: football players, swimmers, young Republicans in new wave skinny neckties, fencers, cavemen gyrating in loincloths, and floating choir boys. Oh, did I mention NINJAS?
Oh my GOD! It was like some secret part of my brain was re-awakened. I was remembering it AS I WAS watching.
Thank you so much for that. Perfect for a Friday!
I just don't understand the story. What does it mean? I feel very confused... and somewhat violated.
Bonnie Tyler should have stuck with simplicity. Here's my recommendation:

Hope the link works.
Just copy and paste the address, but eliminate the exclamation point at the end. Don't know how that snuck in there.
