This is basically "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", which everyone wuvs, except with even higher stakes.

Trufax, that. I may have to slip it into my Poptimism set* if everyone's drunk enough. The ah-ah-AH-aaaah bits = singalong GOLD of a similar magnitude to Bonnie's throaty warblin'. Of course would have to accompany it with A THOUSAND ELEPHANTS & Horsebar probs not so down with pachyderms all over the place.

Does it have a guitar solo? Also would it be fair to say that Jacko invented the power ballad? Most of his really famous ones seem to have elements of such. Maybe he just invented power-pop.

*NB: I am probably not going to do this, you can all go back to planning to attend.

I was expecting it on Friday, but ALAS it wasn't played. Not sure how one might dance to it tho.

much as he does in the video; lots of throwing yer arms about and looking pained whilst bellowing out the words. some of us could pretend to be elephants if we were feeling coordinated.

The Who invented the power ballad with "Behind Blue Eyes," and then Aerosmith helped it stay invented with "Dream On" and Zeppelin with "Stairway To Heaven." But "Earth Song" is commanding and passionate, even if the words are analytically incomplete.
