Ok, I would like to know which songs from this show Jim Steinman took from his preexisting career. I know Total Eclips of the Heart is in there and he already produced that previously. But, I just finished watching an old B-movie from the 80s called STREETS OF FIRE: A Rock'n'Roll Fable with Diane Lane and the final song from the movie is the same as the finale from Dance of the Vampires. Are there more than just these two? Thanks!

HAHA I don't know the answer to your question; however, I thought I was the only nerd that knew of that musical! My boyfriend and I blast the wonderful vampire version of Total Eclipse and everyone thinks we are stupid!

Ok, the name of the song is TONIGHT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE YOUNG performed by Fire, Inc. (who's that?) I guess Diane Lane was lipsyncing to the song in the movie.

Wagner's Das Rheingold with Book and Direction by
Barry 'Starmites' Keating

Serenade (More Than You Deserve & Neverland - early
Steinman musicals) and a chord progression that is also
famously heard in Left in the Dark, For Crying Out Loud,

What it Used to Be (the end verse that was the only
bit kept for Broadway)

Carpe Noctem - Good Girls go to Heaven / Back Into Hell riff,

BROADWAY

Angels Arise - a watered-down version of Surf's up from

God has Left the Building - hints of a song from More

as the original dance routne / instrumental break for
All Revved up With no Place to Go
A Good Nightmare Comes so Rarely - this sounds a bit like
Not ALlowed to Love from Batman the Musical
The Devil May Care - a lyric was recycled from Barry Keating
Sometimes we Need the Boogeyman - sounds like Stairway to Heaven
