The difference being that Queen wrote theirs. Meatloaf only exists because Jim Steinman lost his voice and hired Meat to sing his songs. Jim sounds almost identical (not *as* good, but very close).

Despite how much it rocks, which it certainly does, it almost seems more fitting for Broadway than the record store. It'd feel more appropriate for it to win a Tony than a Grammy. Hell, throw in Meatloaf's performance on stage and the resulting music videos, it could practically garner an EGOT all on it's own, if it was ever released in theaters.

No matter who was about to sing, as soon as I heard the first few chords, I would instantly recognize a Jim Steinman song.

In 1977, when this song came out, I graduated High School. It became a thing, at parties, when this song came on, the girls (Young ladies...) would get on one side of the room, and the boys ( young men...) on the other, and each would sing the appropriate parts. A whole lot of fun back then, and some good memories now.

I think the song is a universal experience. Every guy and every girl has been there. 17 years old, parked at night and making out with teenage hormones going crazy. For the guys, we're just trying to have sex. For the girls, they want love and not just be a one night stand. This little dance has been going on between young guys and girls forever. It's a part of growing up, and I suspect it always will be.

Back in the day, when you were driving and the DJ announced after the commercial break, they would be back with Meatloaf but didn't say which song it would be, it didn't matter - you didn't switch to another station because you knew whatever song it was, it was going to be incredible. He just had an off the charts level of energy, much the way Queen did. Some people do more than sing, they own the stage the moment they step on it, and he did, without fail.

I was lucky enough to meet him. The summer of 79 at age 12, I visited my sister in NYC. She was a waitress at Barrymore's, a restaurant/bar in the Theater District. I sat at the bar during her shift. Sometimes she sent me off to Broadway shows with some of her theater friends or let me walk to a movie. One day, Meatloaf sat right next to me. We had a nice chat while I drank cokes and ate olives from the garnish set-up. He was super sweet. I'll never forget that.

Paradise by the dashboard light - they were talking about be barely dressed and in a car on a "lover's lane" where you go and make out and we know more than that happens there. They were young teens being alone and getting to the edge of a teenage sexual experience. The bases are a bit of an older reference to stages of having sex. Right before she engages in sex - she stops the whole thing and demands that he loves her till the end of time. That's pretty dramatic and you're not gonna have much fun being so serious. Paradise equals sex Dashboard light - they're in the car at night - the key is on and radio is on.

Rest in Peace Meat. The name Meat Loaf was given to him when he was a kid, by his Father. It was said that the album "Bat out of Hell" was a perfect album. No mistakes were heard throughout the album.

I waited that whole video for THAT moment near the end, and you guys did not disappoint. This song was on was album titled: Bat Out Of Hell. It was the first album that I ever bought with my own money, and I played it on the turntable of the first stereo I ever bought with my own money. Feels like it was a whole 'nother century. 😁

So much American culture packed into this song that today's listeners miss. The song was written following a discussion between Jim Steinman (who wrote most of Meat Loaf's songs) and Meat Loaf about the night Meat Loaf lost his virginity parking near a lake. Steinman took off from there, changing the story a bit to make it more interesting. The song was released in 1977, so 'present day' in the song is 1977 and starts out as telling a memory of when this middle-aged couple in 1977 were 17yrs old in 1960. The music is written in the style of 1960 rock and roll, to help put you right into the experience. In that time, teens went parking in a car the boy had usually bought secondhand and fixed up or had borrowed for the night from the family. While the couple made out, they often left the radio on and the dashboard provided a dim light inside the car. The poetry of the song title refers to the nakedness of the girl revealed in that wash of dim light from the dashboard, and for the teenaged boy seeing her unclothed and available was definitely 'Paradise', or promised to be. Things get hot and heavy. The radio is playing a baseball game, which they likely have on low volume. The cleverness of the song is matching the action to the way sexual activity was referenced at the time: 1st base, 2nd, 3rd, and home. But also, another cultural convention of the time, was how boys and men used baseball statistics or visualizations of game play to distract themselves, to prolong their ability to maintain an erection. The young couple gets almost to 'home base' when the girl stops him and demands commitment. And he responds in a sweet ballad musical format, to let him 'sleep on it'; he means 'let me do the deed, then we'll talk later'. He's worked up and needs relief! This is the night, the event, that let's him finally experience sex for the first time! But here's another cultural convention: for the boy, sex was expected and celebrated; for the girl, it can ruin her life. This is 12 years before legal and safe abortion, a time before the invention of the birth control pill, a time where many states would not sell birth control to unmarried persons, and never to teenagers. This was a time when girls getting pregnant could be kicked out, when single women had a hard time finding employment, when single women with children could legally be refused rental apartments by landlords. And even if a girl didn't end up pregnant, she did get a 'reputation' and would have trouble getting a boyfriend and later a husband. There's very little up side to letting the boy have his way. It wasn't a matter of being conniving or demanding, just realistic. So she wants a guarantee, he wants sexual relief, and he finally promises to marry her. And to his credit, he follows through. The song then returns to 'present day' (1977) with this 34yr old couple in the middle of an argument. The argument had led to going over the memory of how they had become bond together and how they wish now time would end so they could get out of it. But the trailing duet has him saying "It was long ago and far away and so much better than it is today" and her saying "It felt so good, it felt so right, glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife". I think he's fixated on regret, but her love for him is still there in spite of the fights they have. This song is genius in concept, writing, and execution. But it means more in its cultural reference, which are lost on many today, lost on those who did not live through those times. Too bad. It means a lot gets missed. However, the performance remains interesting and the switchups riveting. It's a time capsule but it is still very entertaining.
