Meatloaf is the perfect "safe" word. It means "I will do anything for love, but I won't do that."
Woman: "How about i wear the strap on tonight"
Man: "Meat loaf, MEAT LOAF, MEEEEEAAAAATTTTT LOOOAAAFFFF".
You win the internet for this comment. 🤣
But you’d eat it
@@AcidicDelusion only after the finger test.
If memory serves me correctly it he won't get married
The song is literal--the lyrics tell you what he won't do:
1. forget the way you feel right now,
2. forgive myself if we don't go all the way, Tonight,
3. do it better then I do it with you,
4. stop dreaming of you every night of my life,
5. see that its time to move on,
6. sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
So many people miss this!
Hes saying he wont be disloyal to her
Its just the way the song is worded, doesnt automatically make it seems like thats what he wont do. I get the confusion a lot of people have.
@@penderyn8794 I took the same message from this song.
He won’t repent. This is satan talking to Gods children. This has nothing to do with love. Satan is the father of lies. He hates us and uses love as a tool to rock us to sleep. He’s not even hiding it. Hes demon in the video.
Everybody upon first hearing this song asks what "that" is when he tells you in the song what "that" is. The first things he mentions that he won't do is lie to her ("I'll never lie to you and that's a fact") and forget the way she feels right now. You have to really listen to the lyrics and hear what he says he will not do, and that is what "that" is.
No. its about him beging pegged by his ole lady.
@@HBFTimmahh I believe that more than anyone else's explanation
And also running around with other women or abandoning her to be alone. He's saying he'll be faithful.
@@HBFTimmahh that girl that reaches for your bum for sure...my voice gets this same way
I saw an interview where he explained what “that” is. He said it is actually “I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life.” Here’s the link to that part of the interview: ruclips.net/video/v7Z9sF4Ki5s/видео.html
"Two out of three ain't bad" and "paradise by the dashboard lights" on the Bat out of Hell album are two of his best.
Yeah and you need to do the live version 😁
"You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" is one of my personal favorites.
Add in 'Bat Out of Hell' itself, and 'Objects in the Rear View Mirror (May Appear Closer Than They Are).'
@@GlennWH26 gotta be the official video for Objects in the Rear View Mirror. Best movie Michael bay ever directed.
For Crying Out Loud never gets on many lists but the lyrics are so awesome!
Meat Loaf has a unique voice, but for me the magic comes to life when he sings Jim Steinman songs like this. Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light have to be on your future playlist.
Steinman and loaf where the perfect combination, not so good alone.
I think I remember Brad & Lex review Paradise By the Dashboard Lights before. "Bat" or "Two out of Three" would be good for a review... I think what really made the songs on "Bat Out of Hell" sound so great was Todd Rundgren's production. He laid out the arrangements and threw out other parts laying them in the perfect spots on the tracks, and his improv's on the guitar really put an edge in Bat.
@@tommack9395 Hmmm, when Brad said they were finally getting to Meat Loaf, I assumed for the first time. Will have to go check the other videos!
Checked it out, this is their first Meat Loaf reaction. Good, we still have Paradise to look forward to!
@@suecook1326 Yep, I'm likely wrong.
Welcome to the genre that is Meatloaf. Rock opera on a level you just might not see anywhere else.
Freddie Mercury: Hold my blue nun darling!.....
@@timstow5156 Still no Meat Loaf, sorry.
Rock opera!!! I watched an interview with him saying he originally went to get a job parking cars at an arena and ended up auditioning for a play that was looking for singers. He almost said no to the job because he would make more money parking cars 🤣🤣🤣
The song is part of Beauty and the Beast, but is also about how he won't lie to her, and won't sell his soul to the Devil to get what he wants, and when they took off on the motorcycle her dress got caught in the wheel and her dress got ripped off lol. Brandi Modrak XOXO, XOXO means hugs and Kisses to you and your family
Beauty and the beast meets Phantom of the Opera, the things he won't do he says right before each chorus, he says he'd never lie to her, he'd never leave her, he'll never forgive himself, I'll never stop dreaming of you, i'd never cheat on you.
The female singer is a session singer called Lorraine Crosby, credited as Mrs Loud on this track. But that is not her in the video, a model was used instead
Sad
And the woman in the video was offered a record deal on the back of this 😕
It is true Lorraine recorded the album track, yet Patti Russo is the 20+ years band member who toured the world with the band from the early 90's to about 2013/14 bringing the female character in this song to life nightly. There are many videos here on RUclips for you to experience the draw you in storytelling of these musical geniuses. Must concur Paradise by the Dashboard Light & Two out of Three Ain't Bad are songs for you to experience. Your expressions when the singer's voices rumble is priceless. Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" is a great song which lyrically and instrumentally draws you in as well as leaves you with satisfaction after listening. Happy to have stumbled across your channel. ✌
I forget how much I loved this song. When she starts singing, it takes it to another level. More Meatloaf, please.
Brad: "Do they get together, do they go all the way?" - You've got to hear Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
Yes... and watch the live version. It's great theater.
Internet comment of the day. 💯
Surly not one of my favorites of Meatloaf,but I definitely like this song, and love, love, love....**Two oughta 3 ain't bad..**
Meatloaf is an awesome performer, as well as a great singer. He was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Fight Club.
I understand. In death a member of project mayhem has a name. His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson
Also in Black Dog
He was in Crazy in Alabama too...
@@JohnDoe-tc9ir no one ever mentions this and he was a badass in it.
And in Ghost Wars on Netflix.
Rock opera. Meat Loaf is an entertainer, singer and actor. His songs all tell a story. The video versions are like a short movie. Check out Paradise by the Dashboard lights, Bat out of Hell, Dead ringer feat. Cher, really any of his work. Love your reactions!
I don't think I would categorize Jim Steinman's music as Rock Opera. Its more Broadway play than Opera.
@@FURTHER_ADO Broadway doesn't have half the balls that Steinman's music does...
@@ffjsb I wouldn't know. I've never been to a Broadway play bc I'm a straight man.
@@FURTHER_ADO So am I, evidently you don't have a wife and a bunch of daughters....
@@ffjsb you're right. Ex wife and 2 sons.
Meat Loaf's performances are the very definition of dynamic.
… of dramatic
@@gylesm8842 Dynamic performances include drama. But just being dramatic isn't the same thing.
… of theatrical 🤗
Meat is so unique and talented you should try Paradise By The Dashboard Lights and Two Out of Three Ain't Bad.
Yes; and then absolute the life version...... This one: ruclips.net/video/C11MzbEcHlw/видео.html In that song he get NOT the girl... :-) ;-) :-)
His best two songs imo
In the line, "I will do anything for love, but I won't do that," the "that" is whatever he said just before that. For example: "But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, Oh no - no way - I would do anything for love, But I won't do that" - The "that" in this particular verse is "forget the way you feel right now." Meat Loaf said this himself on his Storytellers episode on VH1. -Song Facts-
no the that is ("I'll never lie to you and that's a fact")
@@MARTIN-bd7gm
Yep, in the very beginning he says it.
Sadly the legend that was Meatloaf passed away this morning from complications due to Covid. His voice was unique and his talent and stage presence was awesome. So glad to see he is still being appreciated by a new generation of music lovers the world over. Hope you keep up with the tributes Brad & Lex I'm sure you'll enjoy reacting to every track on Bat Out Of Hell, truly a sublime album. A very sad day to be sure. 😞
Complications due to back surgury
meat loaf will be missed
His voice was phenomenal. Bat Out of Hell is legendary.
This song, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", "Holding Out For A Hero" and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" all have one genius in common: Jim Steinman. The now late Jim Steinman. His passion, his words, his music, his production... his haunting. Rest in peace, Jim.
Indeed. Jim's solo album in 1981 was pretty cool ; to me it's like the "soulmate" second half to Meat Loaf's 1981 album Dead Ringer. Could be cos during that period, Meat had some kind of accident and was on the mend so it delayed them working on the follow-up to Bat. I guess Jim got antsy and couldn't wait, so he did a few songs under his own name ; some of which later appeared on future Meat Loaf albums. I guess that's another reason I consider Jim's album (Bad For Good) to be an extension of the Meat Loaf catalog.
@@BlackieNuff In that tumultuous period, Meat Loaf lost his voice. You can hear it on the album "Dead Ringer". It's more nasal. A dark moment in his career, forcing Jim to do the vocal duties himself on the album "Bad For Good". His vocal range couldn't do justice to his own song "Surf's Up". So he got Rory Dodd to sing the high notes instead of him. You might already know this but if you don't, go read about Jim's experience on producing Deff Leppard's Hysteria album. A real sitcom.
@@magicmike7198
Awww, I knew I had something wrong. Was Meat out of commission due to his voice? Sounds familiar - why did I think it was cos of a car accident? Unless that was another time? Or another artist? Maybe I just read a crap article? LOL. Yeah, I probably should go back and do some reading cos I obviously forgot gobs of it and have other parts confused. It's been a few years since I first read about it.
The Rory Todd thing is new to me, though. Thanks for that, lol. I also had no idea Jim had anything to do with Def Leppard (or their album). Sounds interesting.
@@BlackieNuff Sorry, i wasn't trying to put you on the spot :) I'm just glad somebody recognizes Jim's contribution. Songwriters are often forgotten. And Jim Steinman was soooo much more than simply a songwriter. When you listen to a Jim Steinman song, as you surely already know, you are entering his amazing, dark and magical universe filled with teenage angts and fiery lust for passion! he did it all on a song. If you ever go back and read some more on the crazy friendship between Jim and Meat, you'll just have a great time! A real sitcom. They should do a movie on them! I'm certainly not claiming to be an expert and me too, my friend, i might be off on some details :) As for Def leppard, he finally gave up on the production of Hysteria. The reasons will make you see the band in a different light. Def Leppard, back then, was really a Mutt Lange creation in a way.
I was literally looking for this comment that’s exactly how I feel
This has got to be one of the most romantic songs ever. Those are some deep lyrics. Have always loved this song, even when I was a little kid. Great reaction guys 🙋🏻♀️👏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼💜🇨🇦
I enjoyed your comments about Meatloaf’s song. I grew up listening to his albums and have always enjoyed his theater types of albums he and his band has produced.
The sad part of all this is Michael Aday (Meatloaf) has just passed away two days ago. 1/20/2022. May he Rest In Peace
The bat outa hell album was almost like a rock opera. It was theatrical in every element.
Probably the greatest masterpiece ever written. This coming from me, a south asian guy, who grew up listening to hip hop, rap, r&b and bollywood and punjabi music lol
That's why I'm so happy we finally now have the Bat out Hell musical! Amazing use of the songs and the song order it self tells a great new story
2 things - thats edited, the album version is 11+ mins long. The female singer isnt the lady in the video, although various record companies offered the model a recording contract based on the vocals. The female vocal was done by a female UK singer who happened to be around in the building when the song was being recorded, and did the vocal as a favour. She was never credited. As an asuide, she appeared a couple of years ago on the UK version of the voice, but no one turned. They all though she was great, but didn't know what they could do for her. She said it was ok, as she had already been on a number 1 song 20 years ago :)
This is one of those songs I always tell people to listen to the longer version. It's so much more operatic and the instrumental sections are phenomenal.
@@wizzledorff I can’t listen to the short version
I play the long version and get the “ is this song still going question”
Lorraine Crosby wasn't credited on THIS song (she's listed as "Mrs. Loud"). However there's several other songs on the album she sang for, and did receive credit under her own name.
My all time favorite Meatloaf songs is "Objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are" I hope y'all put that on the list of his songs to listen too. Great reaction.
I came here to suggest that exact video! The music video really puts the lyrics into perspective
This was one of my personal favorite songs in the past. Unfortunately after I lost my wife it's one of the songs I can't hardly listen to anymore. Because it's gave so much more meaning to me. But I would definitely suggest it to anyone else as long as I have a tissue box handy.
Great song.
Paradise by the dashboard lights is a must!
But the live version 😎
Meatloaf is an absolute legend, his album Bat out of Hell is a masterpiece, it’s a story from start to finish and is one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
Still can't believe meatloaf is gone. You will never hear a bad thing about him he was among the best musically and he also loved Ghost Hunting and the man was damn good at it too. R.I.P Loaf we all miss you
Other MEATLOAF songs to do...."Paradise by Dashboard lights" Live version and "2 out of 3 ain't bad"
Yup
I'm personally thinking 'noooo, not the live version' but some live versions on this channel have surprised me by being good, so maybe?
I'm glad that you're doing Meat Loaf. Can't wait till you do "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights." I think that You'll Absolutely Love the story in the song. LOL
great song interrupted by a baseball game :P
I also recommend and never reviewed, " Objects in the Rearview Mirror "
@@Sportsref13 let me sleep on it. 😀😀
9:40 When Lex said that, and I thought about that song/performance. Lol
Can't wait till you do Paradise by the dashboard lights. The live video is a must.
What is with people and live videos for the first time hearing a song? If they choose to, ok. If they don't? A must....pffft.
@@Awohar While i agree most lives are not usually the best choice for a first listen for many reasons.
I recommended the live that is also the official video. The sound quality is as good as the studio.
And this particular song is heavy on rock opera side. And relies alot on visual performance between singers to bring a whole other level to the song that you just can't get with out seeing it.
I have heard this song thousands of times over many years until i was sick of it. And not until i saw that performance a couple yrs ago did i gain a whole new appreciation for the song.
@@davidsimonds7963 BBC 2 Old Grey Whistle Test has A Live Version of Dashboard
Paradise by the dashboard lights.
RIP Jim Steinman, a very under-rated songwriter
Less well-known, maybe, but not underrated. Musicians know how great he was.
Tons of hits, Rock n' Roll hall of fame since 2012, beloved by millions and millions, revered by colleagues and singers and musicians - you basically can't get any _less_ underrated. His talent was seen and heard and acknowledged through the decades he was active.
@@fryke Kim Carnes "Betty Davis Eyes" comes to mind.
@@lancelathrop2255 Bonnie Tyler´s Total Eclipse of the Heart, Celine Dion´s It´s All Coming Back To Me Now, Air Suply´s Making Love Out Of Nothing At All...
Underrated ? lmao he sold 190 million records and won 4 grammys ffs underrated my fucking arse .
Next up: "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights".
Jim Steinman was an absolute genius. My favourites are 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', and 'Paradise by The Dashboard Light' from the Bat Out Of Hell Album. Every song was lyrical brillance.
if you hear jim steinman sing the songs he sounds alot like meatloaf
He wrote Total Eclipse of the heart and that song was written for Meatloaf who turned it down and it was given to an unknown Bonnie Tyler
Rest in peace Meat loaf. My condolences to the family of an awesome legend 🙏🏻
Some trivia for you:
Lorraine Crosby did the female vocals. She's an English singer and songwriter. In 2008, 15 years after recording this (1993) she released her debut album, Mrs Loud, at the age of 48.
The woman in the video was the actress Dana Patrick.
The director of the video was the legend Michael Bay! OMG!
My only issue with meatloaf is he didn't do enough music, what a talent
i was addicted to this song when it was first released in the 90's. I would listen to the whole Bat Out Of Hell II album on repeat. Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back... was a great song too. The entire album was a masterpiece.
Meatloaf’s “everything’s louder than everything else” is my personal favorite of his.
Live version of Paradise By the Dashboard Light is a trip! Epic!!
It's like going to NYC and seeing Broadway play....Enjoy
The man's an absolute legend with a back catalogue of bangers! One of my favorite Meatloaf songs is 'I'd lie for you (and that's the truth). It ways seems to get over looked.
Meat Loaf, the grandmaster of the ballads.
R.I.P. Meatloaf ✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏
jim Steinman knows how to write rock ballads!!!😉👍👍❤❤
Got to see him live in 1996, great memories.
Love me some Meatloaf....paradise by the dashboard lights is just fun. Fyi you two are refreshing. You make me smile.
One of my favorites of his is 'Life is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back.'
"But I won't do that" - Listen to what he sings before that line. He sings what he will do, then one line what he won't do, then comes the "I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that". The "that" refers to what he just said 5 seconds earlier.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,
Oh no, no way.
And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
Anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
In this instance he won't "forget the way you feel right now,"
That I would do anything for love
I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
Tonight
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I wont do that
Here he won't " forgive myself if we don't go all the way"
This song is a masterpiece. One of my favorites ❤
Meatloaf has passed away today. He was an amazing talent. 😔
Very simply: He's saying a negative thing before each chorus, and that's the things he won't do. Lie, cheat etc.
Actually, this song is about being Pegged by his ole lady.
Lorraine Crosby (born 27 November 1960) is an English singer and songwriter. She was the female vocalist on Meat Loaf's 1993 hit single "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". Her debut album, Mrs Loud was released in 2008.
Crosby was born in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne. Her father died in a road accident when his car collided with a bus when she was two years old, leaving her mother to raise Lorraine, her two sisters, and one brother. She attended Walker Comprehensive school. She sang in school and church choirs and played the violin in the orchestra but did not start singing professionally until she was 20.
Crosby appeared in the first round of BBC's second series of The Voice on 6 April 2013.[11] She failed to progress when she was rejected by all four coaches.
It's easier to explain in an example that Meat Loaf gave in an interview. Here it is,
"In a new interview, Meat Loaf finally explains what the "that" is in his most famous song. "It's the line before every chorus," the singer tells Yahoo! Screen. "There's nine of them, I think. 'I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life / I'll do anything for love / But I won't do that.'""
So in that example, he's saying he won't do that or he won't stop dreaming of her every night of his life.
If you've enjoyed this short cut-down version, treat yourself to the whole 12 minutes of the album version. :) I just looooooove the dynamics and how late the female voice comes in in that long version. Plus: "Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are" from the same album, give that a go, too. (And yes, that title is that long.)
Hey guys you should check out Meatloaf singing Paradise by the dashboard lights. You will love it
Peace
Joey from the Bronx
Rest in Paradise, Meat Loaf 😢 Rock the heavens!
Meatloaf was a perfectionist and it shows in his music. Listen to “it’s all coming back to me “
It's crazy this is the short version at 6 minutes. The album version is an astonising 12 minutes....worth the entire listen again and again!
Actually, the whole: "I won't do that" is throughout the song. Every time he said "But I won't do..." then hit the chorus, THAT is what he wouldn't do. Example.
"But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that, oh
No, I won't do that"
He won't forget the way she felt atm.
Beautiful reaction btw
Just simply a masterpiece so brilliant almost beyond comprehension of how good this song is just wow great reaction guys
Great video. I've seen quite a few mentions that people are recommending. I would add (that i haven't yet seen): id lie for you, life is a lemon, everything louder than everything else, out of the frying pan and into the fire, rock n roll dreams come true. Lots more that have been mentioned.
Meat Loaf is credited for fusing theatrical opera w/ rock music. His 1977 album 'Bat out of hell' has sold over 15 million copies in the US. This album 'Bat out of hell Pt. II: Back into hell' in 1993 was a major comeback for the singer after becoming irrelevant in the 80's.
R.I.P. to Jim Steinman, the songwriter who wrote 'Bat out of hell' and this record. His songs for Meat Loaf were his biggest hits.
I haven’t heard this song in quite a while. It really is a well written composition.
It's hard not to be a little jealous of someone getting to hear something so intense and powerful for the first time and getting their reactions to something I grew up with and was such a part of so many peoples high school years
Meat Loaf has an epically incredible voice, and composer Jim Steinman (RIP) knew how to write for it. That Voice first captivated me 28 years ago when this banger came out, so it's been my favourite song since I was 6 years old. Still get chills at the piano intro and the opening lyrics. Thank you for reacting to it!
You should know this song is off the album Bat Out Of Hell 2, which is probably why the video has some of the aspects you're wondering about.
I'm really surprised you weren't asked to do Paradise By The Dashboard Light, from the first Bat Out Of Hell album before doing this song.
Meatloaf is One of a KIND!!!! Hopefully you both react to 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad!. LIVE version only, you will see the emotion come thru the screen!!
Whenever I hear the song I'm crying icicles instead of tears. 🤣🤣
Meatloaf was my very first concert when I was 12- 1994. My Dad got a bunch of free tickets from one of his clients and took us (also how i got to see Van Halen!) I was already obsessed with RHPS at this point, so it was a treat. Cool experience and really kicked off my obsession with live music.
Hey you guys, I just wanted to add something which is largely unknown, the lady singing with him towards the end is not the supermodel in the video (not sure of her name), but the singers name is Lorraine Crosby. She's from Northern England, and she was at the studio when this was being recorded. She was there that day to record something in her own right, but as Meatloaf's singer failed to turn up, she was asked if she'd take up the offer and thank God, she accepted, because she was quite amazing. Warmest greetings to you both from here in the UK. 🙋♂ 🙋♂
The beautiful woman we see in the video is a model Dana Patrick 28 years old at the time who received several offers for record deals even though she was just lip syncing. She was afraid of heights and was quite nervous when the couch rose in the air. She had nothing but good things to say about Meatloaf and what a gentleman he was. They stayed in touch for a few years after the video and eventually drifted apart. She is happily married (no children) and living on the west coast.
You need to check him out in his 70s, coke-fueled prime. Try, "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".
Meatloaf and Jim Steinman made magic together. Having them back together was like two giants teaming up after so long, the song was different from the vibe in 1993. The song and the video just exploded. Michael Bay did the video, btw. Lorraine Crosby did the woman's part, she's an English singer with a huge voice.
Bay makes perfect sense, the lighting alone.
i used to scramble to the TV when this video came on MTV. Still one of my favorite all time songs.
I remember being about 8 or 9 when I first saw this video and being ABSOLUTELY enthralled… I revisit it every year or so to try and get that feeling back ❤
Wow another awsome reaction you really need to react to meatloaf bat otta hell you will be blown away it's awsome
Most of his biggest hits were written by Jim Steinman who also wrote some of the biggest hits for Celine Dion and plenty others, and now has a musical based on them called Bat outta hell
And Bonnie Tyler of course.
the lady is the video is a model/actress miming along to a lady vocalist called Lorraine Crosby who is a little known singer who is from my home town of Newcastle, England. Lorraine just happened to be in the right place at the right time when she got the job to be the female voice on this epic track.
Whilst recording in LA, trying to make the big time she was asked to do a cover vocal of this song as a guide for a more well known artist (rumoured to be Cher, Bonnie Tyler or Patti Russo) however for what ever reason they decided to stay with Lorraine voice. She when back to England and when the song became a smash world wide hit she received no credits, royalties or shared in any of they awards the song won.
Lorraine continues to tour small venues here in the UK with her husband and band.
I just loved watching Lex I could see the emotions in your face so sweet.
Now you have to react to the Live version of 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' ! It is a must see/do !
When you eventually get to "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", see if you recognize the young girl in the video. She went on to be very very famous.
As did the director. Michael Bay did that video and Objects. Honestly, Objects is such an incredible music video, one of the best ever made, I reckon. Better than the other dreck Bay directs.
dammmm what a genuine and authentic reaction ,over 40 million copies where sold in europe of this and u two got it on the fist time listening what That is !!!!! goooooood job
Yes, Meat Loaf, finally! Gotta keep going! Paradise by the Dashboard Lights next!
🎵🎵🎵 *R I P Meat Loaf* 🎵🎵🎵
This is so Musical!
You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth/Hot Summer Night is a must too!
His BEST song.
The whole story of Meatloaf, Bat Out of Hell and Jim Steinman is amazing. Plus, Meatloaf was in Rocky Horror Picture Show AND Fight Club. Two of my favorite movies. Deff wore out multiple tapes of Bat Out of Hell back in the day….
Now you gotta do "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" - check out the official video: ruclips.net/video/C11MzbEcHlw/видео.html
that was my intro to Meatloaf way back in the day
This is probably the best version for a reaction.
Yes.. Hands down, the best version for a first time.
***LIVE*** you should watch one of their OLDER SONGS ***PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT*** also a ROCK OPERA
Beauty and the Beast in Meatloaf style love it when the Woman Voices comes in to his Songs
Rest In Peace Meatloaf will miss you
The "that" he won't do is screw around behind her back......but what Meatloaf will really never do is release a song that he doesn't put all his passion and energy into!
"That" is different in every verse.
PLEASE do Paradise by the Dashboard Lights if you haven't heard it yet!
Another great song and reaction..you guys are great
But I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that, no I won’t do that
“I’D DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON’T DO THAT]
The thing he won’t do, Meat Loaf said, is spelled out in the line before the chorus kicks in. In the lyrics above, for example, he’s saying he would do anything for love, but he won’t ever “stop dreaming of you every night of [his] life.”
“It’s the line before every chorus,” Meat Loaf explained to the “Storytellers” audience, albeit with the help of a blackboard.
In fact, four such promises are made during the course of the song, each time before a chorus kicks in. In addition to saying he’ll “never stop dreaming of you,” the singer also says he’ll “never forget the way you feel right now,” “never forgive myself if we don’t go all the way,” and “never do it better than I do it with you.”
And those, according to Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, are the things he won’t do.
