37 years later and I still don't think the world is ready for #BonnieTyler's "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)"

The songwriter #DesmondChild certainly got his moneys worth out of that chorus riff; he's used it at least three times that I'm aware of (Bonnie Tyler, Bon Jovi, and Ava Max).

Also you can totally tell that #JimSteinman was in charge of this glorious video!
