usualsuspect · 31/05/2011 21:07

I dunno I've never heard it said before

well only in the meatloaf song ,but I never knew what he was on about

AuntieMonica · 31/05/2011 21:07

except eat your snot?

what is the thing they won't do?

Hassled · 31/05/2011 21:07

What is the one thing? I don't understand.

Hassled · 31/05/2011 21:08

Yes - "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that". What? Be articulate, dammit, Meatloaf.

twiggyotter · 31/05/2011 21:08

If it's to murder a famous Llama with a platinum-selling jazz record and an IQ of 165, I don't think it's that big a deal TBH.

twiggyotter · 31/05/2011 21:09

No, I don't, either.
Probably just as well.

The meat loaf song was him saying he won't move on and leave her.

HazeltheMcWitch · 31/05/2011 21:10

What was that, what was Meat on about ?

TechLovingDad · 31/05/2011 21:11

Don't you just love a riddle?

Pictish · 31/05/2011 21:14

I think it's to pick up milk on the way home from work without making a song and dance about it.

squeakytoy · 31/05/2011 21:16

bum sex?

HazeltheMcWitch · 31/05/2011 21:18

Ah, that must be it. The pretty lady was asking for bumsex, but meat said NO.

Men.

colditz · 31/05/2011 21:23

Depends what that one thing. I will not, under any circumstances, take it up the shitter.

BelleDameSansMerci · 31/05/2011 21:24

Meat has no sense of adventure, no good prancing around on video being daring on motorbikes if you're going to get all coy in the boudoir.

toddlerama · 01/06/2011 08:48

Ahh hamster that made me laugh! Grin

JaneyLloydFoxe · 01/06/2011 08:48

'I will do anything for love, but Iwon't do that'

Meatloaf's missus had said to him 'for fuck sake, get over your midlife crisis, get rid of that godawful bike, I am sick of bike bits all over my kitchen table and CUT YOUR BLOODY HAIR'

ShoutyHamster · 01/06/2011 10:00

'...and stop shaking your jowls like that and GLARING, you don't look mean and moody, you look like a basset hound'

RudeEnglishLady · 01/06/2011 10:32

GetOrf · 01/06/2011 10:38

'... and out the fucking bin out you lazy bastard, instead of stepping over it on the way out to the Motorhead tribute gig'

TitsalinaBumSquash · 01/06/2011 10:42

I though the 'thing' meatloaf wouldn't do is screw around?

My sister had me believing for years his real name was John meatloaf... the bitch.
