That is so great. My wife and i love to annoy our teenage kids by getting Alexa to play this song and then singing along very dramatically haha.

Back in 1999, the UK had its first total solar eclipse for several decades and VH1 played the music video (though, not this one ;-)) on loop for an hour while it was happening.

If you like meta-songs, you may be interested in "Title of this song" by Da Vinci's Notebook:

The back story of the writing of Total Eclipse ain't bad either: https://youtu.be/LGqYnj_Y3CI?t=70

There’s also one of A-Ha’s “Take on Me”.

“Haaaand comes out…”

I had never seen the music video until the news started playing it. Super funny

Sony tried so hard to kill this when it was new

I'm glad this is still on the Internet. It's exactly the sort of thing that almost never is, when I try to find it again several years after seeing it the first time.

I like to pretend that was filmed in the Hogwarts sixth form commmon room in the eighties

I came here to post this, glad you beat me to it. I pulled a muscle laughing the first time I saw this.
