Original Sin sung by Steve Barton for Tanz der Vampire

I've been looking for an original sin One with a twist and a bit of a spin And since I've done all the old ones Till they've all been done in Now I'm just looking then I'm gone with the wind Endlessly searching for an original sin

I've waiting for you since you've been born I'd watch you secretly but not for long And since I know all your dreams I understand what you need And when I call you you must go where I lead Your dreams are so hungry it's time now feed

So I bless you with my curse And encourage your endeavour You'll be better when you're worse You must die to live forever I will show you the depths of the night We can never go wrong Together I will take you to the end of the line My eyes are like a shadow on you

And since I know all your dreams I understand what you need And when I call you you must go where I lead Your dreams are so hungry its time now to feed

“I don’t know who you are, what you do, where you go when you’re not around! I don’t know anything about you, baby, but you’re everything I’m dreaming of-” Dead Ringer For Love - Meat Loaf & Cher (1981)

As music videos go, it’s straight and to the point. It does what it needs to do, and it’d be fairly bog standard, but Meat and Cher both bring a lot of charisma to the table and make it work! I do love the transition with Meat going from his offstage self to the over the top character, frilly shirt and all.

“I bet you’ve never tried this before…” Dance In My Pants - Jim Steinman and Karla DeVito (1981)

This track from Steinman’s solo album Bad For Good has perhaps the most random video of any of his songs, and that includes the one by Ken Russell. But I love every goddamn moment of it.
