Flip round, as a result of Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 traditional, “Whole Eclipse of the Coronary heart” has reached one billion views on YouTube. The clip, filmed in England’s Holloway Sanatorium, is the Welsh artist’s first to achieve the spectacular milestone.
Written and produced by Meat Loaf collaborator Jim Steinman, the monitor spent 4 weeks at No. 1 upon its launch — and far of its recognition was as a result of music video. The risqué, academic-themed clip was directed by pioneer Russell Mulcahy, who had directed the primary video proven on MTV, The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star.” Tyler went on to launch another high 40 hit in 1984 with one other Steinman-produced minimize: the Footloose soundtrack single “Holding Out for a Hero.”
Again in 2017, in the course of the whole photo voltaic eclipse, Tyler carried out the hit on a Royal Caribbean cruise with Joe Jonas’ DNCE as her backing band, simply because the eclipse reached its totality. That week, gross sales of “Whole Eclipse of the Coronary heart” had been up 500%.
In celebration of the music video for “Whole Eclipse of the Coronary heart (Flip Round)” hitting one billion views on YouTube, revisit the beloved clip beneath.
