Out of all the songs that Bonnie Tyler has performed, Holding Out for A Hero is one of the most remembered and the most used. There are others of course but this one seems to touch people in a special place that invokes a host of emotions that make the films and the song more memorable. Of course the rallying cry is that a hero of such magnitude is needed again and must rise from the ashes to save the day once more, no matter who they are or what form they take. As much as the song seems geared towards the LGBTQ community it also has that highly romantic quality that seems to bring forth visions of the old, stereotypical woman that is waiting for her prince to save her. Thankfully that stereotype has been changing and been almost put in the past as more and more women are starting to take charge and become the hero type.
