Bonnie sang this in 1985
This is my happy song. When I’m having a bad day I just listen to this. And I do the dance too! The crazy mamak prancing dance with my thunder thighs. Watch out world!
It’s an old song by Bonnie Tyler back in the 80′s. Yeah I know its a song for girl-girl but I just love the upbeat tune. Just what I need for my crappy day, and I always imagine I’m the hero. *Hindustan hero?*
Bonnie sang it in 2007 too
In fact the song is so popular, Bonnie Tyler made a comeback for a live recording. She looks amazingly much better than in the 80′s. Looks like all the royalty money is keeping her in good ‘plastic’ condition. But the new recording, she sounded so ‘serak’ macam nak berak bila nyani.
The song writers are the same team behind Meat Loaf and also Bonnie Tyler’s other popular hit “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”. Yeah you’re going who and what right.
Well not to fret, how about movies like Footloose, Fame and Short Circuit 2? The song was used in it too, where it got noticed and popular. I love Footloose, ok I shall not deviate, that one is for another entry. Once again you’re perhaps scratching your head to what are all those movies I mentioned hur. Aiyah Google it

The song very fofular as coined by my nee-nor-nee-nor friend. So very the fofular that there’s plenty of artiste covering it in their own languages. Here’s one of the better one, by a Japanese singer, as seen from the video above. But they lack the ooompphhh that Bonnie Tyler version has
Come one now, get into your ‘Area54′ retro 80′s zone, let’s jiggy to the song! Weeeeeeee
