This Is The Song In Kia's Robo Dog Super Bowl 2022 Commercial

When you think of great songs from the '80s, Bonnie Tyler's hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart," has to be at the top of most people's list. The song is dramatic, catchy, and makes for a good build-up in almost any film or commercial. According to Financial Times, it was released in 1983 and sold about 60,000 copies a day and 6 million total. Jim Steinman wrote and produced the song while Bonnie Tyler brought his vision to life. The outlet shares that during actual solar eclipses, like the one in 2017, album sales spiked over 2,800 percent and it even hit the top of the iTunes chart again. It's safe to say that the same thing will happen during the next solar eclipse.

The hit track has been featured in countless movies and commercials. In an interview with Playbill, Steinman shared that he originally wrote the track for the infamous musical "Dance Of The Vampires." Say what? "That was an accident almost. I'm surprised it stayed in. But, it was in [the] Vienna [production]. I had only a month and a half to write this whole show, and we needed a big love duet," he confessed. "Half the show I had to talk [director Roman] Polanski into doing, and did it behind his back a lot. He's a great guy but he had a totally different vision. I don't think he wanted music at all." 

Well, we're glad it happened.
