To the right is an Internet-pulled photo of a very serious Bonnie Tyler circa 198-something (you know, whenever her hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" came out).
Doesn't it remind you how far we've come, specifically insofar as the mullet is no longer considered to be fashionable - though I think we can admit there are times when you're out and about and you see someone sporting a little "business-in-the-front-party-in-the-back" action that's so awesome it makes you take a secret picture of them with your cell phone and send it to all your friends...right?
Anyway, on similar note, a loyal MEvBLOG reader sent us the following video from YouTube. It's the original music video of "Total Eclipse" with the lyrics changed to reflect what's literally happening.
Like so many other clips on YouTube, this one will also have you asking for the umpteenth time, "Seriously...WHO HAS THE SPARE TIME TO MAKE THIS CRAP?" Then you will laugh your arses off and be thankful that somewhere, in a lonely cubicle, there's a bored Assistant Project Program Manager who set aside their unfinished TPS reports to dub over Bonnie Tyler so you can take five minutes and 33 seconds away from your own job.

Wow. Made my day...love it!
Why is it so fashionable to act like no one has time to do anything? Who cares who has the "spare time" to do this??? For all you know it was a student doing this as a class project. You know, maybe it was someone who has their spouse go out and work all day so this video's creator can lay around and create this kind of stuff. WHO CARES who has the time???
Damn, I feel sorry for those of you who are certain that your day is just crammed full of work from the second you wake up until the second you sleep. These days, if you are observed relaxing or doing what you want others seem to have to put you on a guilt trip with the whole "Geez, I sure wish I had time to (insert whatever it is you're relaxing with here)". Get over it people, life gives us plenty of time; it's what we fill it with that defines us.
RE: Kelly
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
RE: Anonymous 3:40
I doubt it's a class project if for no other reason than there are several other songs parodied on YouTube as well. At least, I've never heard of an assignment like that.
Also...if I really thought people shouldn't take a break from work to lighten up, I wouldn't write this blog. Or post a video that would cause one to cease working, for that matter. I doubt it's in people's job descriptions to peruse MEvBLOG, but they do because it provides some levity, and I appreciate that.
I think you're taking my meant-to-be-humorous rhetorical question a little too seriously. Maybe you should make a "literal video" of your response. I am, of course kidding...but that would be kinda cool, no?
When I saw this, I instantly quit my job and watched it five more times! Oh no, wait, I did all that three years ago. Oops. Loved it!
Those "dancers" really were creepy, weren't they. How gay was all that anyway!
