The literal version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" that's been making the rounds of LJ reminds me of another music video that's been niggling at my memory.

Back in the infancy of MTV, I had a housemate who watched a lot of music videos, and occasionally I hung around and watched them, too. There was one I saw quite a bit and rather liked, but now I can't remember what it was. The main image was of a woman in flying garb (complete with floaty scarf), standing by an airplane.

I want to say the artist was Pat Benatar, but a look on Wikipedia and her most popular songs doesn't ring any bells.

Does it sound familiar to any of you? It probably would have dated from early-to-mid 1980s. I'd post this to [livejournal.com profile] whatwasthatone, but if it's an obvious no-brainer, I'd feel really silly.

Sounds like it could be Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night."

That seems most likely to me. It's on YouTube, of course.

Berlin, Take my Breath Away, maybe? Has planes. Floaty Scarf. Also, Tom Cruise.

It could be Al Stewart's "Flying Sorcery", but Youtube doesn't seem to have that.
