This is a group called “Hurra Torpedo” (photo gallery) from Norway.
From an appearance on a SNL-type show called “litle saturday” in 1995, their cover of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” (everyone knows the original version by Bonnie Tyler).
You can watch the video: Google Video 1, Google Video 2, direct download (WMV).
UPDATE 11/8/05: Hurra Torpedo now has their own Web site, and I’ve updated the links here appropriately.
 Amidst the video discussed here, there might be the need to acquire different types of video surveillance images. CCTV Security Camera Surveillance Equipment offers various types of video surveillance equipment that can capture video images 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you’re contemplating security systems or some sort of CCTV equipment, research on security equipment prior to purchase might be a wise decision. |

The bands site !!
Wow, the rainbow guitar strap and track suits date it very much…. :\
It makes me wonder if they even know what the word are that they are singing, or if they are just singing it by rote. Scary, Scary, Strange.
But also, in an internet kinda way, cool.
Thanks for sharing!
You might also like The Gobos version of “Total Eclipse”, and yes, they’re a Dallas band.

Dear Friends!
I`m glad that you have seen the beauty of my favourite band, and are happy to announce that they are heading for The States as we speak. This morning i read in a Norwegian newspaper that Hurra Torpedo are on theire way to the states for theire first American tour. They will start up in New York and do Route 66, and will do at least 11-12 gigs. Everything is not settled yet, but its confirmed that they will have concerts in Memphis, Nashville and Las Vegas. Their tour will last for 4 weeks. Don`t miss the chance to see the best band ever!
Have a great day everyone!
Regards,
Stian

Hm.
I’ll be quite honest, this is one rendition that truly captures the sheer *anguish* in Total Eclipse of the Heart. Let’s face it: the babe has dumped you; wouldn’t you want to destroy a kitchen appliance?

Arguably the best performance ever done by Kristoffer Schou, and fun to see him cooperating with Egil. Brilliant video.
I play the toilet bowl as I’m from Finland. Gotta love those Noggies.
Is your camp safe, or Unsafe Camp?
Wow, its damn hard to tell sarcasm from type written text on the net. I really hope all of you realize this is nothing but a Ford motor company add campaigne to advertise their 2006 ford fusion.
@jimmyz: Hurra Torpedo’s US tour would very likely never had happened if it were’nt for the 2006 Ford Fusion, but the band is in fact very far from a Ford gimmick.
November Rain Guns n’ Roses forever!!!!
[...] Simplebits er stort sett opptatt av design- og webstandardrelaterte saker. Men 20. april hadde han en lenke til “tidenes beste musikkvideo”. Lenken gikk videre til bloggen Another word for nerd – som har lagt ut videoen. Og det er rett og slett et klipp fra Lille Lørdag, der Hurra Torpedo er gjester og fremfører Bonnie Tylers “Total Eclipse of the Heart” – på hvitevarer. Jeg lo meg skakk da jeg så den på TV i sin tid, og nå er jeg lykkelig over å ha fått lagret til gjentatte gleder fremover. [...]
