I’m willing to bet that when you learned that this song was coming up next, you were like wow, 1984 was a crazy year! When I learned this song would be entering the discussion of 40 year old songs, I knew we were in for a doozy. This track has been heard in every avenue imaginable, from commercials to movies, it’s been quoted over and over again, and part of it is because this track and its vocal performance is uncoverable. A real lightning in a bottle moment. Coming in at #4 in the top 20 songs turning 40 years old this year is Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler.
