'Casting' Cher was brilliance. She nails this performance, on-screen and vocally.
I think this is one of Jim's most underrated songs. The rapid fire song lyrics remind me of Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd in Moonllighting. The pumped up arrangement, the mid-song 50s doo-wop homage ... it's classic Steinman. It is entirely fitting that this album ended up being released by Epic records, because 'epic' is what Jim is all about.
Steinman was at his best when he surrendered to his muse, trusted his inner compass and went COMPLETELY over the top. Which this song/clip does ... visually, musically & lyrically. This song is so good, you could slip it onto Bat Out Of Hell and it would fit right in.
If you ever see the episode of Classic Albums, featuring Bat Out Of Hell don';t miss it, one of the best. Check out Classic_Albums at Wikipedia.
