Bonnie Tyler passed away at the age of 75, and it feels right to pour one out for the ’80s music icon by revisiting one of the most unexpected ways her work lives on in pop culture. Movie music has had plenty of memorable moments, and the 2026 movie calendar has already delivered a few of its own. But for millennials of a certain age, one of the best still involves a wedding band, a deeply inappropriate cover and Will Ferrell looking like his brain has briefly left his body. Yes, I am talking about Old School and The Dan Band’s wonderfully unhinged take on Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”
Tyler’s family confirmed that she “unexpectedly” died at 75 while being treated for an illness on the Welsh singer’s official Facebook account. And while her legacy is much bigger than one of the best R-rated comedy scenes, I do think it's worth revisiting one of the strangest and funniest ways her music lives on in pop culture. A fan account recently shared the Old School clip on Instagram, and honestly, it is still gold. You can see the post below:
