Music Video For Maniacs: one guy plays guitar/sings Bonnie Tyler's '80s shlock-rock hit "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" while two other people jump around like mental patients, percussively pounding on things like washing machines, for some good, noisy fun. Could be a whole new genre of music: Industrial MOR? EZ-Noise?
Kind reader DDay tells us that they're a Norwegian band called Hurra Torpedo:
"Total Eclipse Of The Heart"
Reminds me of a classic Brian Eno quote: when he was visiting here in Los Angeles, he noticed ads for a local radio station promising "Continous Soft Hits." Quothe Eno, "Sounds like some obscure form of Chinese torture."

That band would be Hurra Torpedo. Unfortunately, I don't speak Norvegian so I cannot give further details.
Excellent! Thanks for the tip.
Wow.
Great, thanks for the info!
OK, I enjoyed it, but after a while, I was wondering why they all had their asses hanging out? Is that, like, their look?
Maybe for their day job they're plumbers.
