Visualize this, if you will:
Me in my maroon mini-van, gripping the steering wheel. Singing along to the radio in a slightly off-key falsetto:
"And I need you MORE tonight. And I need you MORE than ev-ah!
And if you’ll only hold me tight!
We’ll be holding on ...for-ev-AH!
And we’ll only be making it ri-III-ite.
And we’ll never be wrong........"
Just had coffee with a gal pal. Two full hours of freedom ahead of me before I have to pick up a kid.
"Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
NOTHING I CAN DO, A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART!"
Whispery now...
"A total eclipse of the heart."
There.
I don’t see why I should be the only one with this song in my head all day?
"Turn around bright eyes.......?"

Oh my god, I LOVE to sing that song loud in my car! There's nothing like it... I'll have to make a point to do that again soon. :)
Prema, and one other comment I didn't get to read got acidently deleted. It's a comcast issue. Sorry. Grrrrr......
Comcast has been holding comments hostage and this time actually deleted them.
(Once upon a time I was falling in love. Now I'm only falling apart).
One of my very favorite songs...by Bonnie Tyler.Thanks for the memory!
Oh, NOW you've gone and done it! Damn you!
Glad I waited until finishing work at 11:47pm before checking in with you. That song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, but that's only 13 minutes!
SO glad to hear you got away for a bit. BEFORE you had a total eclipse of the heart!
Time to push the button on your 8-track, MIchelle.
How about a little Bachman Turner Overdrive, Taking care of business?
By the way, my son talked me into going to a bloody shoot 'em up movie the other day, called "Smokin' Aces." Dreadful movie, except for one thing. A character played by Ben Affleck was killed in the first five minutes.
It's now on my list for next year's Oscars.

So what exactly was in that coffee???
Hey, thanks. This sure beats having a commerical jingle in my head. "I'm an Oscar Meyer Weeeen-ner..." Just the other day I was telling my daughter about an old Calgon commerical and it's been on my mind all month! "My husband-he's so Hot Shot. Here's the ancient Chinese secret...Calgon." Then, "Ancient Chinese secret, huh?" There, got you back.
Oh, why, why, why am I so suggestible? God knows how long it will be swimming around in my skull now.
Better than The Wiggles songs, though.
One summer when I was fourteen I worked as a camp dishwasher. After a long day of spraying gunk off of dishes I went back to my cabin. my cabinmate was playing that song...I was mesmerized...the most romantic song I'd ever heard... apparently I am still a melodramtic 14 yr old somewhere inside because I still swoon when I hear it!
A true favorite--best sung alone in shower or car!!
