Favourite Meat Loaf song or lyrics

I am so upset to hear Meat Loaf has passed away. I am listening to For Crying Out Loud and wondering if I could choose my favourite song or lyrics. There are so many I might find it impossible to choose. My brother had the album Bat Out Of Hell and it was one of the soundtracks to my childhood from around age 4. We still have the LPGrin My brother saw him live in Germany back in the 80s and said he was awesome.
My two current favourites are Bat out of Hell and Heaven Can Wait but this might change by the end of the weekend. I'll have to have a think about lyrics.
Please share yours in honour of such a fantastic performer who brought joy to sp many.

I’m shocked by how sad this has made me today.

My all time favourite is Padadise By the Dashboard Light and similar to PP I have sung this so many times at the top of my voice in the car with the children in the back, not really thinking about how inappropriate it isGrin

Have them in my bedroom.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light got me through the most difficult exams of my life (medical speciality exams). I literally played it morning till night to stuff all the required facts into my head. It worked! RIP Meat.

I love Couldn't Have Said It Better. Not many people have so much presence in a song.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 21/01/2022 12:58

Paradise by the dashboard light. Back in my misspent youth, it was the last song we'd listen to whilst drinking vodka before hitting the town on an underage pub crawl.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 21/01/2022 12:59

I like the one from The Rocky Horror Show.

Georgeskitchen · 21/01/2022 13:01

Dead ringer for love , duetting with the inimitable Cher 😍🥰

IPokeBadgers · 21/01/2022 13:04

So many fantastic lyrics and songs that are mad as cheese but brought so much joy... I can't choose a favourite.

The albums Bat 1 and 2 were the soundtrack to my teen and 20s years.
Thank you for all of it Mr Meat ❤️

theDudesmummy · 21/01/2022 14:02

Insane and brilliant

MrsGinnyM · 21/01/2022 14:50

You're right, OP - so many, it's hard to choose. I'll have to think. There's another Meat Loaf thread in Chat today too.

AutisticLegoLover · 21/01/2022 14:59

I've left him playing for the cats Grin I've been listening over and over but can't choose.

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with red roses?
Absolute classic.. Will be cranking out some Meatloaf in the kitchen later while making dinner.

skyeisthelimit · 21/01/2022 15:01

I still have Bat Out of Hell on vinyl Grin. I loved Meat Loaf.

I used to do Paradise By The Dashboard Light when I did karaoke.

ClockWatcher1986 · 21/01/2022 15:02

Would ya hose me down with holy water, if I got too hot?

christmassausages · 21/01/2022 15:02

I bet you say that to all the guys 😄😄

ImaginaryFriends · 21/01/2022 15:12

Paradise by the Dashboard light and Dead Ringer are my favourites.

My favourite #Misheardlyrics has got to be

Cilla Black Phantom bike ... yes I know it's Silver & Black Phantom bike but just love sing about Cilla Grin

MrsBungle · 21/01/2022 15:18

It’s hard to choose! My favourite ever song is two out of three ain’t bad but I really love every song on the bat out of hell album. I also have a big soft spot for deadringer!

MrsGinnyM · 21/01/2022 15:21

Just been listening to Objects In The Rear View Mirror. The official video is on YouTube.

And if life is just a highway
Then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are.

Came on to say this. I love that song
Splodgerbodgerbadger · 21/01/2022 16:14

Dead Ringer for love, my Mum had it on an old record. When I was pregnant with DD if I listened to it she would move around and it actually calmed her if she was crying as a baby.

DorotheaDiamond · 21/01/2022 16:17

I love all of his stuff but I’m particularly fond of the bad attitude album…everything on it is brilliant!!!

DartmoorChef · 21/01/2022 16:25

Such sad news to wake up to. I'm a lifelong fan and absolutely loved his music. Gutted that I was never able to see him performing live.

So many favourite songs but Where Angels Sing has always been in my top 5.
