- Archive Panic: Bonnie Tyler has not only released an impressive number of studio albums, but also an impressive number of compilation albums. Listening to all songs back-to-back is a feat not taken lightly, since her discographical history has lasted for over 45 years to date.
- Awesome Music:
- Holding Out for a Hero and Total Eclipse of the Heart, obviously.
- The titular song from "Faster Than The Speed Of Night" deserves a mention, as it has an energetic, upbeat and fast-paced tune as to be expected by Jim Steinman. It also has a softer side to the melody as well.
- Covered Up: Tyler originally recorded, "The Best," and it did well in Norway and Finland but not beyond there. A year later, Tina Turner released her cover, with an added bridge and saxophone solo, and it became a global success. Tyler later acknowledged
, "I have to be honest, she did it much better than I did." - Refrain from Assuming:
- The song that goes "turn around... {lyrics lyrics}, turn around... {lyrics lyrics}, turn around, bright eyes... {lyrics lyrics}, turn around..." and on and on like this is called "Total Eclipse of the Heart". (Not "I Need You More Than Ever" or "Forever's Gonna Start Tonight", either) Though this is at least guessable, being the punch line of the refrain.
- Her other big hit is not called "I Need a Hero". It's called "Holding Out for a Hero".
