Tom: I wonder who first realised that the French expression “tourner en rond”, roughly translated as the idiom “running in circles”, sounds a lot like Bonnie Tyler’s big song?
Tom: Either way, in 2003 this was released. Ten weeks at number one in the French charts. Presumably another big payday for writer Jim Steinman.
Tim: Yes, and possibly for whoever rewrote those English lyrics, because I’m fairly sure no-one ever previously mentioned lying like a child in your arms.
Tom: But I’ve got one question, and it might just ruin this for you.
Tim: Oh, go on then, but only on the condition that I can do the same afterwards.
Tom: …is it me, or does Bonnie Tyler sound a bit like she’s retching quite a bit?
Tim: Yep, there it is. And my main question about this is why, from 1:10, does she start telling Santa to turn around?
