Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman and Ellen Foley! One of the greatest rock performances of all time! There is not one artist who even comes close to this today!
Ellen Foley did the vocals on the album. Carla Bonoff was in the video. It wasn't a live performance. It's a great video--looks live.(sorry, hate to burst anyone's balloon)
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 It was Karla Devito not Carla Bonoff. Also all the videos from the album that show them live were shot during rehearsal for tour with no audience present. The studio album track was synched to the video. If you watch the video for You Took The Wotds (Right Out Of My Mouth) you can see where the synchronization is off in about 3 spots.
This is "Rock Opera" which is its own genre. It includes the music from "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Little Shop of Horrors", and "Tommy - A Rock Opera". Meat Loaf was the king of Rock Opera.
Rocky Horror and Little Shop of Horrors are both musicals, not rock operas. In an "opera" (rock or otherwise), all the dialogue is sung. Conversely a musical is a regular play (or movie) where characters occasionally break out into song. Rocky Horror (Picture) Show is a musical. Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera.
The charisma of the protagonists is so overwhelming that it's easy to overlook how powerful the band is! Let's give a shout out to Todd Rundgren playing guitar, Rundgren's Utopia bandmates Kasim Sulton on bass and Roger Powell on synthesizer, and Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band on piano and drums, respectively.
(fun fact) the radio announcer was a REAL baseball radio announcer from the 70s !! ... his name was Phil Rizzuto - and he was from the New York Yankees
Even more of a fun fact about Phil Rizzuto. He was given the script and asked if he would read this as a voice- over, which he did. Rizzuto was so straight-laced that they couldn't tell him why they wanted this. He was pretty upset when he found out how they used his work and turned it into a very mature theme! 😂
@@sgtpep When Rizzuto recorded his piece, he was reportedly unaware of how his spoken contribution would be used. When the song broke, Rizzuto said his parish priest called him in shock. However, "Phil was no dummy", said singer Meat Loaf. "He knew exactly what was going on, and he told me such. He was just getting some heat from a priest and felt like he had to do something. I totally understood." Years later, Rizzuto would laughingly retell the story saying he got snookered by Meat Loaf, but he had a good attitude about it and when Meat Loaf asked him to go on tour with him, Rizzuto was flattered but declined, jokingly saying that Cora(Phil's wife) would "kill him" if he did.
Meatloaf was above all a performer. his songs were always full throttle performances. Many people also like "I'd do anything for love (but i won't do that)" by Meatloaf. watching the video for this is highly recommended.
The baseball metaphor is the most classic part. She wants his commitment before she gives the body up. He doesn't want to commit. That makes whole song for me. Some of the story telling ever. Great song.
Great memories from college days, 1977 when the album came out. Dormitory stereos were the viral shares of the day. No headphones, just great speakers, Friday afternoon, quiet hours over after class, laying the needle down in these great albums... BOSTON, was the first in my freshman year of 1976... MORE 70s PLEASE!
I love that you had fun with this song and enjoyed it Bisscute. I love Meatloaf and this song really put him "on the map" but I still think Two Out of Three Ain't Bad is his best, iconic single which showcases his majestic voice. My opinion of course, I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just my preference. I still love this song and the upbeat tone of the song and the message we can all relate to at some point in our lives, and I love the voice of Meatloaf (of course) but I REALLY LOVE the voice, charisma, facial expressions, and mannerisms of Ellen Foley as well. She just had that look that fit the part perfectly in this song and video. I love the baseball reference in this as well as I was in my teens during the late 80's and after a date my friends would always ask "Did you at least reach 2nd base?" Unfortunately, I usually had to admit "no" as I was a slow runner on the base paths but not my choice of course :(
This song gives me the fondest memories of my youth. The reason you feel like it is more a performance than a mere a song is that these two began careers as musical stage performers. Acting and singing brought took their stage shows to a higher level. Thank you for doing this one.
Meatloaf always sead that he wasn't a singer but an actor . When I was younger I would have Meatloaf on my radio just jamming out . I still love to listen to him. PS I'M 80 YEARS AGO . JUST AN OLD ROCK AN ROLL MAN 😎😎😎😎😎
I only recently found your channel, and it was your fun reaction to this video that tipped me over into subscribing. I look forward to many more videos from you! As to the 'acting' qualities you comment on in the video, Meatloaf said many times that he had always thought of himself first as an actor who happened to sing. In sum, he was an outstanding performer, and I'll miss him.
The meat master general was truly one of a kind. He was an American original, taken from us too early by COVID-19. Thank you for a great reaction. Keep up the good work and rock on.🤘🏻🔥🎶
Meatloaf made a deal to show this promo video (not from a real concert) before every showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he played Eddie. He was a heldentenor and was offered a lot of money to sing opera. The lady in white is Karla DeVito. Her vocals were replaced by the album vocals of Ellen Foley. Karla is a great singer, but Ellen's vocals were perfection. Karla did the concert tour. Karla has been married to actor Robbie Benson since the 1980s. Ellen was a public defender (Billie) in the TV series Night Court. She also appeared in several movies like Cocktail with Tom Cruise. Meat Loaf never considered himself a singer. He always said that he was an actor, that sometimes portrayed a singer. RIP Marvin "Meat Loaf" Aday.
Meatloaf was a great entertainer he started on Broadway for about 5 years where he won awards for Hairspray and Rocky horror picture show and along with his music which was great but he also appeared in about 90 movies such as Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight club to mention a couple
Have you ever seen the show Married With Children? I've always thought of this as the Al Bundy story. He was a high school football star. His life was planned. College football, maybe a chance to go pro. On the night of the big game, he met the beautiful redhead, Peggy. She got pregnant. He did the right thing and married her. Now he's stuck working in a shoe store. His wife won't work, cook, clean, or watch the kids. It made him a little bitter. If you've never seen the show, there are some great compilation videos available.
Interesting observation!! This could have been my brother's story. He was a star football player, but also an all around athlete (wresting team, shotput on track & field, and he lifeguarded in the summer-phenomenal swimmer). Last football game of his junior year his right knee was so screwed up that he had to give up everything but the lifeguarding. This inspired him to become a physical therapist, a job that he has held for forty years now. So, the injury saved him from selling shoes.
Ok, I'm going to start with saying I'm a huge meatloaf fan. I actually lived this. LoL But I have to say this was probably the funnest reaction I've seen from you. Especially the end when you caught on to praying for the end of time. I was damn near in tears from laughing. 😂❤
"going down town and third base and [hesitant silence] ...head first.." Watching that whole bit from 7:10 to 7:40 killed me!! 🤣🤣 Excellent job, Bisscute, you're gorgeous and funny as hell! xx
The genre is rock opera aka as theatre rock. Meatloaf got his start on stage plays: hair, rock horror picture show and brought that to his music. Almost all of his songs are as much acting as singing.
Saw him four times, and have all of his albums. HE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN "PARADISE"!!! I know almost every one of his songs by heart. Even the 12-minute-long ones. He and Jim Steinman (songwriter) were magic together. YOU ARE MISSING A LOT BY NOT DIGGING DEEPER. Older track..." Dead Ringer for Love " a duet with Cher? Love it.
I really , really , really like your reactions ! This reaction was special, I could see it in your face before you spoke. Great job Bisscute !! Thank you !!!
Wow.. I've seen allot of reactions to this video but yours was the first one where I could see pure enjoyment in the song/performance. Thank you for putting a huge smile on my face.
One of the best reactions to this production. I think you’re the only one who got the “head first” reference for second base😅. Such great lyrics. Well done!
Your reactions as the song evolved had me rolling. The songs situation was a fairly common scenario of the time, one of the songs many selling points was its relatability.
Yes, it is Rock 'n Roll. It's also Rock Opera as some other commenters have said, but it's got a bit of swing to it unlike just plain Rock, which makes this not only Rock Opera but also mostly a very traditional Rock 'n Roll. You're absolutely right, you can feel it in how it moves your body.
*JIM STEINMAN IS/WAS A ROCK GOD!!!* Steinman wrote and composed all the songs on the "Bat Out Of Hell" album and so many more epic songs. Artists like Bonnie Tyler, Air Supply and Celine Dion recorded Steinman songs. The lady in this video is Karla DeVito who went on tour with Meatloaf to support this album, it is studio vocals by Ellen Foley you are hearing in this video. Ellen Foley was working on her own solo album and just didn't want to make out with Meat every night... LOL!
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
I always love that the woman in this piece is the one that is erratic "I gotta know right now" and the guy is calm "Let me sleep on it" :). I must say some of those Carpathian girls are kind of cute ;).
I have always absolutely loved this song. It is so, so much funny and the interplay between the two is so well done. It is almost impossible not to dance to (loved the dancing while holding on to your hair). Great review!
That was an amazing reaction, I enjoyed how much fun you had with one of my all time favorite songs. Back in the 80s i used to go to science fiction conventions and me and a friend had a dance routine to this song. Sometimes the crowd would all watch us dance. Many happy memories with this song.
I think you are the first reactor I have listened to who has picked up on the slide in headfirst line, Bisscute and the first to pick up on the complete life cycle theme, straight away. . . . I have memories on this stage of life from a lot of years back...right back to before this song came out actually . . . good times
Meatloaf actually started out in musical theatre; I /think/ his first stage role was in 'Hair', but he was soon poached for 'The Rocky Horror Show' - and its film version.
As always has to be pointed out, this is a a lip-synced performance over the studio album, and the girl here wasn't the singer on the album. That was Ellen Foley. It's very theatrical rock-n-roll. The ooo-shap-shap bit is a direct reference to classic 50s rock.
In a video on UA-cam Night At The Proms Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell (20+ mins) Meatloaf has his actual daughter singing background vocals doing the oooh shop shops, and looking incredible in a long black dress
I was going through your playlist and I knew I had to see your reaction to this. I remember when I was a kid my parents would play this. So glad I watched your reaction.
That was an Amazing reaction, very very few people that listen to this song catch what is is being said when Meat Loaf says "and now I am praying for the end of time", it's usually much closer to the end when people realize he wants to end the relationship.
This song is genius because it puts you as a fly on the wall for an exchange between man and woman that has been going on since cars were invented. Earlier probably...buckboards even! The singing dialogue and the back and forth questions and argument is genius song writing.
Ok fine, let's go: in 1 place I listened to this song days before you brought it to the channel and I agree with you Madalina (Bisscute) it has a very danceable vibe and the story about this song about how they were 17 years old and if falling in love and fighting against the getting married part was a really good part and when it was 5:20 I started laughing when I saw your face about that moment, but the song is really good and I really liked it, just like you, if I may recommend a song for you Bis I would recommend Self Control by Laura Braingan, it's an extremely good song and I think you'll like Biss and what's more, continue with the work you're doing and greetings from Brazil to you! 💚💛💚💛
Great reaction to a great song and Singer. This song was off of Meatloaf's album Bat Out of Hell. My mom got tickets for me an her once for my Birthday to see the Meatloaf play Bat Out of Hell Based on all the music from the album plus extra songs as well. It was an Awsome play. Hope you had an Awsome weekend. Take care. ⚘️🌹💐
Love your reaction. Not only a great song, but a great theatrical performance. Most of all, a very relatable subject. I mean, how many of us had our first "action" in a car? I did. lol
Meatloaf was in the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Ed Norton! The girl in this video is Karla DeVito (she is lip syncing) to the vocals of Ellen Foley who did the original vocals for the album!!!
Glad you enjoyed this great classic by the late great Meatloaf although I suspect some of the euphemisms didn't translate well into your first language, for example "I got a big surprise" and "Going all the way" and "first/second/third base".
Pretty lady, I've been listening to them for 50 years, and you for over a year, and you couldn't hide the joy in your reaction! He has other treasures you should check out. Peace from Northern Michigan
Love the reaction to not only the music but the lyrics and the story. So many people love this song but really don't listen to the story. Biss is too much fun.
Meatloaf wasn't just a singer, he was a true performer. One of my favourite songs, Thanks.
Meat Loaf..................

You beat me to it. Was coming here to let Biss know that this is epic rock opera.
HOT Patootie, Bless My Soul, from Rocky Horror Picture Show is a Show Stopper!
Maybe Jim Steinman would be more properly the king of Rock Opera, for creating this and so many others

This is considered Rock Opera.

That would be my kids. Also, my wife and I taking over the dance floor to act this out every time.
Imagine all the kids that were "made" to this song in back and front seats around the world

a quote from The Godfather
Lol. It is definitely a performance as much as a song. My parents freaked out when me, or my older sisters (or the radio) played it. Peace, Love!!
This is real music it's the stuff that when your driving down the road and this comes on the volume goes on high ❤
Oh my, I am jealous i missed this one. One of the great classics.
Bat Out of Hell one of the best albums of all time , 43 Million copies sold
It was fun watching you react to this. You listened to both the music & lyrics and got the humor.
Wow.. I've seen allot of reactions to this video but yours was the first one where I could see pure enjoyment in the song/performance. Thank you for putting a huge smile on my face.
She’s authentic. When you watch her videos, you can tell whether she enjoys it or not.
I’ve loved this performance ever since I saw it in the 70’s and the Bat out of Hell album is still my all time favorite album.
Listen to the whole album Bat Out Of Hell
For Gen X this song is just part of our lives. Been hearing it and singing it with our friends at parties as long as we can remember.
One of the best reactions to this production. I think you’re the only one who got the “head first” reference for second base😅. Such great lyrics.
Well done!
You can tell from this performance that they were both originally from musical theatre.
Its always fun to see someones first reaction to this song 😀

One of the best performances of all time, of one of the best storytelling songs of all time, from one of the best albums of all time.
It’s such a great song.heartbreaking but also so very realistic
I started listening to Meatloaf in the 1970s and I love the music.
Meatloaf is a true performer on stage
ITS ROCK N ROLL LOL!!! MY HIGH SCHOOL WAS CRAZY ABOUT THIS SONG WHEN IT CAME OUT !!!!!
Fun reaction. You didn't miss much about the messages in this great performance.

Meatloaf's 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is just a perfect rock opera video!!!
Can you imagine what a bomb this was. We had the candy stick named Elvis and then came this. KABOUM.
That was an Amazing reaction, very very few people that listen to this song catch what is is being said when Meat Loaf says "and now I am praying for the end of time", it's usually much closer to the end when people realize he wants to end the relationship.
This is definitely Rock and Roll. One of the best shows I ever saw in the '70s.
This song is genius because it puts you as a fly on the wall for an exchange between man and woman that has been going on since cars were invented. Earlier probably...buckboards even! The singing dialogue and the back and forth questions and argument is genius song writing.
A great song. Wonderful reaction. 😊😊❤❤
Your facial expressions and commentary reacting to this song are priceless too!
LOL! Good one, Bisscute! So much fun. Thanks for sharing this one with us. 🙂
Meat Loaf was in Rocky Horror Picture Show
Watching your reactions, for me, is like listening to the song for the first time, again.
Thx Biss! Cool reaction. I totally cracked up when you said....PRENUP!😂😂
Why? You don't think he'll pull out paperwork after removing her underwear, did you?
Parts of it are definitely "Rock & Roll"
i love his rock ballads
Bisscute,
If this doesn’t qualify as the best ‘Rock Opera’ performance ever I don’t know what could.
Meatloaf was Eddie in the Rocky horror picture show the greatest musical ever made
I'm listening this for this time. They are great
Another beautiful Jim Steinman song sung by Meatloaf is "Rock And Roll Dreams Come True"
Ok fine, let's go: in 1 place I listened to this song days before you brought it to the channel and I agree with you Madalina (Bisscute) it has a very danceable vibe and the story about this song about how they were 17 years old and if falling in love and fighting against the getting married part was a really good part and when it was 5:20 I started laughing when I saw your face about that moment, but the song is really good and I really liked it, just like you, if I may recommend a song for you Bis I would recommend Self Control by Laura Braingan, it's an extremely good song and I think you'll like Biss and what's more, continue with the work you're doing and greetings from Brazil to you! 💚💛💚💛
Love your channel. I Enjoy seeing younger generation's appreciate the music I loved when I was young!
Early MTV was great for showing videos that had all or some element of a band's raw and original stage act. Those were the best days.
Great reaction to a great song and Singer. This song was off of Meatloaf's album Bat Out of Hell. My mom got tickets for me an her once for my Birthday to see the Meatloaf play Bat Out of Hell Based on all the music from the album plus extra songs as well. It was an Awsome play. Hope you had an Awsome weekend. Take care. ⚘️🌹💐
I love your, commentary, your energy and your smile. So glad I found you...have a blessed day!
Love your reaction. Not only a great song, but a great theatrical performance. Most of all, a very relatable subject. I mean, how many of us had our first "action" in a car? I did. lol
Meatloaf was in the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Ed Norton! The girl in this video is Karla DeVito (she is lip syncing) to the vocals of Ellen Foley who did the original vocals for the album!!!
Glad you enjoyed this great classic by the late great Meatloaf although I suspect some of the euphemisms didn't translate well into your first language, for example "I got a big surprise" and "Going all the way" and "first/second/third base".
She's getting an education in the text comments I guess.
Great reaction Biss!
Pretty lady, I've been listening to them for 50 years, and you for over a year, and you couldn't hide the joy in your reaction! He has other treasures you should check out. Peace from Northern Michigan
Absolutely flipping fantastic hilarious reaction! I’ve been watching a lot of reactions to this song and this was the best! No joke! 🙂💯
One of the quickest minds reacting today, love it.
Love your reaction! I love your rock and roll! You’re right it brings memories!
Love the reaction to not only the music but the lyrics and the story. So many people love this song but really don't listen to the story. Biss is too much fun.
Meatloaf was an Actor as well, and this Song was the SONG OF MY TEENS
