Fans shouldn’t miss out on “Total Eclipse of the Heart (Jason Kelce’s Version).”

“Nothing like a snowy Homecoming at App State, especially when Jason Kelce brings the house down with a live rendition of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ at the tailgate!!!” the TikTok user captioned the video shared on Nov. 23.

The Philadelphia Eagles alum sported a pair of gold and black striped overalls over a black hoodie and a winter hat. Amid flurries in the air, students gathered around Jason at a microphone as he sang the ’80s power ballad.

The former center went for it, hitting the high notes and embracing the song’s passionate words. At one point, he forgot the lyrics, but finished strong.
