his single "(Just Like) Starting Over", which was actually released three days after "Hungry Heart". The "Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart" episode of Japanese anime series Battle B-Daman is named after the lyric in the song. Weezer mentions the song in their 2008 song "Heart Songs" on their album Weezer ("The Red Album"). Reception Billboard described "Hungry Heart" as "a magnificently styled midtempo love song" with an "extremely memorable" hook. Record World said that "If radio's immediate approval of this rush-release is any indication of its success, then the Boss has his first pop hit." The aggregation of critics' lists at acclaimedmusic.net rated this song as the No. 38 song of 1980, as well as No. 341 of the 1980s and No. 1870 all time. The song has also been listed as the No. 1 single of 1980 by Dave Marsh and Kevin Stein and as one of the 7500 most important songs from 1944 through 2000 by Bruce Pollock. It was also listed as No. 625 on Marsh's list of the 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. Music video No music video was recorded for the initial release in 1980, however a video clip was filmed for the song's re-release in 1995. This was filmed on July 9, 1995, at the tiny Café Eckstein in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg. The video featured German rock star Wolfgang Niedecken and his "Leopardefellband", although neither are heard on the actual audio track, as this so-called "Berlin 95" version (which was also released on CD singles) just features Springsteen's live vocals and audience noise laid over the song's original 1980 E Street Band studio recording. Track listing "Hungry Heart" – 3:19 "Held Up Without a Gun" – 1:15 "Held Up Without a Gun" is a track from The River sessions that began a Springsteen tradition of using songs that did not appear on his albums as B-sides. A River Tour performance of it is included on The Essential Bruce Springsteen compilation album's optional disc. This was the only live performance of the song in a regular Springsteen concert (apart from rehearsals) until the song reappeared twice during the Magic tour and once during the Wrecking Ball Tour. The studio version remained unavailable on CD until the release of the 2015 box set The Ties That Bind: The River Collection.
