| I was watching a documentary about Jim Steinman and he put what was to become Total Eclipse of teh Heart into about 5 different musicals from his school days until Dance of the Vampires and had several artists record the tune as well..,and a lot of times it had the same basic lyrics in every show -- it wasn't just the melody! | |

| Did the documentary include the incredibly bizarre play, HEDDATRON, which features an unhappy modern-day Michigan housewife, Ibsen and Strindberg, and, oh, yeah, robots? Because the robots sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Laura |

| As a record producer, Steinman also had several artists re-record songs he's already written and produced for a different artist. I think he was fantastic, but sometimes I feel like he only wrote about 20 songs and just kept having different artists do them until they became a hit. Barbra Streisand, Taylor Dayne, Celine Dion, and Barry Manilow all hit the charts with songs that Steinman had originally written and produced with another artist. Another recycler who is primarily known for pop is Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, who was one of the songwriters for Ghost: The Musical. His song, "Taking Chances," which he originally had his own group, Platinum Weird, record before it became the title track of a Celine Dion album, borrows from "Here Comes the Rain Again," a big hit by Eurythmics. |

| Original Sin by Pandora's box was a little-known Steinman album, and one I enjoyed... but I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of the songs were covered later! | |
