Meat Loaf has passed away. RIP

RIP. One of the first artists that I remember listening to. Got the greatest hits playing now, still ridiculous, over the top and fabulous.

The answer is the previous line of each refrain, I’ve never understood how people don’t know this as it obvious the first time you hear the song.

Back on topic RIP a great singer who churned out a few absolute classics that will forever remind me of growing up even if they are not still in my rotation.

I will be honest I never really listened to him much although I can acknowledge he was top tier and up there with the best of them.

I just remember it was a joke at school that's all that ended up in inuendo. Most likely because we were kids and didn't understand.

I must have had 50 posts on my Timeline with adults saying "We'll never know what Meat Loaf won't do" thinking they are being clever.
Well actually you're being a bit thick if you don't understand Jim Steinman's lyrics.

What won't Meat Loaf do for love? Here's the list:

Forget the way you feel right now
Forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
Turn back
Stop dreaming of you every night of my life
See that it's time to move on
Be screwing around

When he sings, "I will do anything for love, but I won't do that," the "that" is whatever he said in the line before. 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

This was always one of my faves. The song is beautiful and the Michael Bay directed video is emotional and adds to the song rather than distracts from it.

 
Playing Bat out of Hell full bore at the moment, what an album, what a track, what a performer.

R.I.P. to a true musical legend.
