Who sung this I Need A Hero cover?

Post by Executor32 »

Does anyone know who sung the cover of I Need a Hero featured in the old Paramount montage (including Apocalypse Now, Congo, Days of Thunder, Top Gun, The Firm, and Serpico, of the top of my head) featured during the previews at the beginning of their VHS movies? I know Deep Impact has it during its previews.
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
-Aku, Master of Masters, Deliverer of Darkness, Shogun of Sorrow

Is it the Bonnie Tyler version?
Sudden power is apt to be insolent, sudden liberty saucy; that behaves best which has grown gradually.

No, the singer sounds a lot younger.

I have the version by Frou Frou that played at the end of Shrek 2.
"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little."
