Literally all three are already in successful musicals; in order of completion, "No Matter What" was in
Whistle Down the Wind, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was in
Tanz der Vampire, and "Holding Out for a Hero" was in the stage version of
Footloose. (Having said that, it didn't stop Jim from claiming the bulk of a song that was already in
Tanz, but it's safe to say anything he co-wrote ["No Matter What" with Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Hero" with Dean Pitchford] is harder to claim.)
