Letfs Turn Around with Fiber OneBy Jordan Teicher on August 15, 2013 11:16 AM

The title is not a bathroom pun. Saatchi & Saatchi created a new campaign for Fiber One built around the 80Œs song, gTotal Eclipse of the Heart,h originally by Bonnie Tyler.

If youfve ever been within 50 yards of a karaoke bar, youfll recognize the tune, and apparently, the 1983 hit is getting a second wave of popularity decades later. A May survey by UKbathrooms.com reported that it is the most popular song people sing in the shower.

And more recently, actor and vocal impressionist Christina Bianco had a video of her singing gTotal Eclipse of the Hearth in the voices of 19 different divas go viral (1.8 million hits in four days).

So the relevance for the Fiber One campaign is there. We have two spots to show you, one titled gTurn Around Barry,h and the other, gTurn Around Barbara.h Ignoring the missing commas, both are about hapless characters on diets who want to eat food that tastes good but wonft make them fat. Those people do deserve power ballads playing as the soundtrack to their lives. The set-up is slightly confusing, because each ad includes multiple characters who we are supposed to assume are all named either Barry or Barbara. At one point, it looks like one Barry is even holding a leek hefs about to eat whole. But then he finds Fiber One. All in 30 seconds.

Watch gTurn Around Barbarah and read some credits after the jump.
