    BP, A couple of things... The song starts and ends with them as teens but they're a married couple. Hence, praying for the end of time line. They are looking back to when they were 17. Also, way back when we were young we had bucket seats in our cars. They extended the width of the car. Great for making out in. The dashboard lights were normally still on inside the car because we listened to music on the radio, cassette tape or (cough, cough) 8 track cassettes. So the name of the song tells you they're parking.

    His father called him Meat because of his size - even as a newborn baby. His birth name was Marvin Aday. The nickname just caught on and then later he stepped on a coach's foot and supposedly he called him meatloaf.
    He always referred to himself as Meat.

    "I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday" is the first lyric, setting the stage for the memory and at the end they switch to "now I'm praying for the end of time". The whole song is so clever, funny and just really cool storytelling. Even the baseball metaphor was recorded by Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto, for the song, it's not a sample. It has always been a favorite of mine.

    Meat Loaf was a heldentenor, and was offered a lot of money to sing opera. Fortunately, he did this instead. He made a deal to show this promo video (not from a concert) before every showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he played Eddie. Karla DeVito, the girl in white, is not the voice you are hearing. The vocals are Ellen Foley's album vocals. Karla did the tour and is a great singer in her own right, but Ellen's vocals were perfection. Karla and Ellen have a video of them singing together, "I'm So Happy To Be Here." Karla has been married to actor Robbie Benson since the 1980s. Ellen played Billie in Night Court, Season 2. RIP Marvin "Meat Loaf" Aday.

    I saw him in the late 80s in a night club in Jacksonville Fl.called Pappa's. Maybe 200 people there and he sang as hard and energetically as he ever did to a entire concert hall. You could see the love he had for performing. He could. Have phoned it in because he was making Union scale pay for the gig but nope he gave it ALL. Top 5 best concerts I ever saw and I was less than 6 feet from the stage whicj was only about 3 feet high.

    I was 20 years old when this song was first released! It is so fun to see someone that same age reacting to it for the first time today. One thing is so different today: our generation still had a large contingent of people who believed that a marriage, and even a promise to marry, was an unbreakable vow. Yes, divorce was already on the rise, but it was far less common at that time than today. So we could relate to the dilemma the song proposes to a greater degree. Still, the basic theme is timeless, as this young man's reaction shows so well. We were all once "barely seventeen and barely dressed". 🤣

    He was always big, he was called "meatloaf" in school, because he was overweight. So when he started his professional career he took the name and made it his. His birth name was Marvin Aday, not very memorable.
    He had such an incredible voice, and his stage presence was something you'd never forget. I've been to quite a few concerts and Meatloaf was the best. No pyrotechnics, no extra BS, just him, his microphone, and his back up singer(s).

    Jim Steinman was the writer of most of the most famous of Meatloaf's music. Steinman was the king of theatrical musical songs. Look into the other songs, like “I’d Do Anything for Love (but I Won’t Do That)” (Meatloaf), "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero ( both by Bonnie Tyler), "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" (Meatloaf), "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (Note: Celine Dion did this first but I love the Meatloaf video on it), “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” (Air Supply....which when I was on radio was my sign off song).
    There's MUCH more Steinman did, and Meatloaf was his favorite go-to singer. Both men are now in heaven doing concerts, maybe then I'll get to see them (I wanted to see Meatloaf perform live for most of my adult life, I fell in love with his music back in the 1970s (yeah, I'm almost 70 myself.)

    His reaction was so very cute! He blushed!! But he doesn’t realise that this song was released back in the day when it was still “no s3x before marriage”!! Meatloaf’s songs were anthems for us growing up in the 1980’s! Bat out of Hell is one of the best rock albums ever written by Jim Steinman and performed by Meatloaf!!

    written by Jim Steinman. He wrote a number of other songs performed by Meat, including "I'd Do Anything For Love" which you looked at a couple months ago. Steinman was a classically training pianist, and many of his songs featured piano as a major instrument.
    Steinman also wrote songs for Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, and a couple of top hits for Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse and I Need a Hero)

    Ended up back at her house, in the driveway, finally was getting my opportunity. Then this song came on and we were hot and heavy. Until the end when she abruptly said I got to go in now.
    She's married now has grandchildren. The last time I saw her she brought up that night in front of everyone laughing.
