What's better: Total Eclipse of the Heart or Paradise by the Dashboard Light?
Depends.
Reliving my college days? Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
Singing on American Idol? Total Eclipse of the Heart.
First of all, 'Posse?' Passé

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Because books.
It's always, always "Paradise".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I too vote for Paradise. Better narrative, plus you get the cool video which was shown before The Rocky Horror Picture Show (as well as Tim Curry's video for "I Do the Rock").
Rock and Roll Trivia Tidbit: Karla DeVito, who is shown singing the song in the video (and is, indeed, a fine singer who toured with Mr. Loaf and later did Andrew Sister style harmonies with Jessica Harper (the actress that both Frankenbuddha and I have the fondness for) behind Dan Hicks) is not the actual singer on the album track.
The singer on the album is Ellen Foley, aka the actress who preceded Markie Post on Night Court.
Ellen also briefly dated Mick Jones of the Clash.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's always, always "Paradise".
When the criterion is "mocking the video", I humbly submit that you are in error.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jesus. Do I have to round up people to vote for "Paradise" so "Total Eclipse" doesn't win? Because I'll totally do it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Paradise!
