It was the perfect soundtrack for every 80s art student, from film majors to graphic design majors. The song was a hit, proving that sometimes, all you need to make a great new wave song is a synthesizer and Annie Lennox’s haunting vocals.
And finally, we had “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. This song was as dramatic as a soap opera, with its soaring vocals and epic lyrics.
