Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero REACTION!

[@neolithiumproduction]

Bonnie: Where have all the good men gone? Billy: I'm sitting right here! Me: That's the problem! You're sitting there and not saving her! xD

She’s 73 and still looks good. It was filmed at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and at Veluzat Ranch, California.

[@angelicanewton2458]

You should watch the scene where they sing this song in Shrek 2

[@zamhobby9662]

Short Circuit 2 is much better than Shrek 2 version

[@azsli2]

I was thinking the same thing. I loved this from shrek

[@ashleydowney1222]

It's also in Footloose. It was one of the songs from Footloose's soundtrack. It's also in the dreadful remake.This song was also in a Detective Pikachu trailer.

[@zomgelok]

@@zamhobby9662 I always think of short circuit 2

[@michaelwilson5866]

The Japanese version of shrek 2 of that scene is great too.

[@amandahibbs3690]

I love her song “Total eclipse of the heart” I was born in 89 so I wasn’t around 😂

[@5thPlatoon]

And, infamously, former Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson's dad sang the "turn around" backing vocal on it!

[@ashleydowney1222]

I love Total Eclipse of The Heart. I was nine the first time I heard it. It came out in 1984. 8 years before I was born.

[@tamarrastevenson1144]

Now, Billy Binges must watch the original Footloose with Kevin Bacon!!! The music score from that movie was EPIC!!! #SoCrazyFam

[@Ray.1176]

That scene was epic footloose dance scene remember they said in guardians of the Galaxy it help save the world lol

[@bernardcoombs1778]

You don't understand; she's making herself out to be a "damsel in distress".

Part of the Footloose soundtrack, I believe. Lot of great music in that one.

[@angelapierce6764]

yep, just googled it. definitely in that movie.

[@shirleythompson6399]

In the early 80s, it was also the song playing as Bo Brady rode his motorcycle on "Days of Our Lives.:

[@estills4768]

I wore that soundtrack out!!

[@sandracalo9895]

In the warehouse/barn dance scene of footloose

[@rexjdk]

Also the theme for Bo Brady in Days of our Lives.

[@sppsports2449]

I agree that the lyrics call out men a bit. As a guy I'm like... I can't be all these things you want. But after I just realized it's a great song and now I just jam

@@zomgelok haha! No fight, I don’t disagree. I was a preteen when I watched the movie and heard the song. For years I thought my knight was coming. I’m older now, I’ve seen some things. (Not to mention I learned how to take care of myself and rarely need a hero.) 💯 the good guys are often overlooked or taken advantage of.

[@attagirl5899]

Love the reaction. 1. I need a hero.(or maybe just want a hero. 2. You can't feel like you are being attacked Billy. Because you are a real life hero all military personnel, vets, retirees, doctors, nurses, emts, firemen, and cops are hero's if they do their jobs and they do them right. So again thank you for your service and never think you are not one of my heroes.

It was originally in the footloose soundtrack and then it was also in Shrek II

[@Istoleyourmemes2]

this went hard in the Shrek movie

[@RowdyRuth]

My mom didn't care much for rock and roll and when I played this song she said it sounds like she needs a Marine fresh from the battlefield. Crazy how we all interpret music differently!

[@billbill6094]

She messed up her voice in the studio singing with such passion. We don't get this heavy passionate pop songs anymore. This is a power anthem about men being trash and as a man I rock with it.

[@LeoHernandeznyc]

This song was a MONSTER hit when it came out in the early 80s..it was in movies it was on soap operas...I even think it was on wrestling shows lol All about the damsel in distress. It wouldn't work in today's world, because people might get offended lol

[@TheHopperUK]

This is not true at all. People still love this song. It's about yearning for something.

[@davedove67]

It's been used in a number of movies, normally in scenes where the leading man is rushing to save the day. Right off the top of my head, Shrek II.

[@attagirl5899]

Also short circuit 2.

[@Winnipegger1984]

It was also the second trailer theme for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.

[@krystinyocum1382]

I've never seen this video but I know the song by heart. Thanks Footloose. One of the best soundtracks ever!!!

[@Midnyte_Angel]

This song is epic playing at the end of Saints row 3. It plays while your running to save shaundi.

[@Jake_Da_Dawg]

A little late but yes that scene was a complete masterpiece

[@MrsHippyfreak]

The Sanderson Sister? LOL!!! OMG Billy that's great! But even funnier is that it's from the soundtrack to Footloose where a teenage boy moves to BFE and saves the oppressed teenagers by dancing!

[@goldengreen7763]

Hahaha haven't heard this song since Shrek! Thx❤

[@andreamartinez6929]

This song reminds me of Bo and Hope on Days of Our lives back in the 80s

[@afry6400]

Yea.... RIP Bo.... always wondered if they would pull another "guess what, was a fake, surprise!" kind of thing with them. Those two and the Steve/Kayla storyline always got to me.

[@rayhs1984]

Heineken used it in a commercial to make "Hold out for a hero until the end of the night" = "look for a guy as the bar is closing" . It also was slowed down and used for a dog adoption commercial.

[@commandixnostalgia2321]

I first got introduced to this song thanks to Shrek 2

[@wallflower630]

Wow lol. The symbolism in this says a lot. She is looking for the one who is her equal. Who will not be "Whipped" into shape or submission. Who will fight against those who are trying to destroy everything. Try digging below the surface of things and take the project as a whole. I'm a woman from the eighties and this song is about confidence. A woman who knows what she wants and a man who knows he can deliver. They are the same thing, but they are hard to find. Belief in yourself and not compromising those beliefs is the real battle. Cool reaction.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

Man, this song takes me back! Back when Air Wolf, Knight Rider, and The A-Team were big, there was another TV show, "Cover Up", where this was the theme song. I vaguely remember the show, because it only ran for a season or two, but the main actor accidentally/on purpose shot himself in the head on set. The main actor was playing around and the gun fired blanks, but the wading still shot out and killed him. They had to change the show suddenly to account for the loss, but never recovered after he killed himself. I think because of that incident, "weapons masters" would only give access to the weapons before a scene, and then lock them up immediately afterwards for safety concerns. Anyway, the song always reminds me of "Cover Up" and that block of classic 80's TV that used to eat up as a kid.

[@sstiles3601]

I thought that was what happened to the lead in Voyagers. Hollywood need to be getting a grip on those leading men.

[@shilothompson1509]

It’s not that. Not really. It’s totally her waiting for a night in shining armor that lots of girls do when young. This is why the romance industry exists. Romance stories about soldiers, cops, spies, cowboys, and every Tony Stark wannabe (billionaire playboy philanthropist) . You shouldn’t feel attacked. You should just smile and say, “Hello. I’m here”

[@aprilcorbett]

This used to be the theme song from a 1980's detective show called "Cover Up" That's where I first heard it & have loved it ever since! IMO her best song was "Total Eclipse of the Heart"..."It's A Heartache" was good too!

[@jefftalbot5192]

The lead actor in the show died on set by fooling around with a fake gun with blanks but for some reason when he put it to his head it killed him.total freak accident 😑

[@wesdog8975]

I don't think it's all meant literally. Some of it's salvation. Some of it's sexual desire. A want and need sort a thing. Part of this song was used in a movie called Short Circuit 2. Short Circuit one was better, but such are sequels sometimes.

I know you have a lot of reactions to do but I think you'd appreciate theses songs especially since you are a veteran and would truly understand the meanings of these songs. It is hard for people not from Australia to understand the effect of WW1 from a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle is a great song about WW1 but really any war and I Was Only 19 by Redgum
