Unless you live in a cave, on the far side of the moon, and you don’t have internet there, I am sure that you are aware that today there will be a total eclipse of the sun for certain parts of the U.S.

But!  Here is something that you may not know about this momentous occasion.  If you were a wild-child of the 1980’s like me, you will know immediately the song I’m about to reference.  Bonnie Tyler had a hit in 1983 called “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.  See the video here.

Today, August 21, 2017, she is aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship bound for the path of totality.  She will surprise all of the guests on board with a performance of her hit at the apex of the eclipse.  Denton!  We could have gone and relived our teenage years.

More fun facts:

  • Did you know that Jim Steinman wrote the hit?
  • He also wrote “Making Love out of Nothing at All” sang by Air Supply.
  • And “Bat Out of Hell” sang by Meatloaf.
  • There won’t be another total eclipse until April 2024 according to NASA in the U.S.

Enjoy the eclipse, and wear your glasses!
