"All Of The Prices Have Gone Up (But We Can't Pay That)" - Meat Loaf classic adapted by Marsh Family
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2022
- This is our tribute to the larger-than-life legends of music, entertainment, film and Wagnerian rock opera who tragically passed away during the pandemic: Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. Steinman wrote "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" for his long-time collaborator, and it was originally recorded in 1993 - featuring on the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. It was released in numerous forms - you'll be pleased to know ours is closest to the short radio edit - and all of them starred a powerful closing coda duet sung by Lorraine Crosby. It's an amazing collaboration for its energy, impact, mysterious meaning - enhanced by the magnificent gothic video featuring motorbikes, mansions, and floating sofas. And the whole track is built on the sensational presence and incredible voice of Meat Loaf, who broke the mold when it came to rock tenors and combining fierce passion with tongues in cheek, character, and a sense of humour.
Our adaptation is the best we could do to channel some of those vibes in our living room, and turn the song into a topical parody that addresses the alarming 'cost of living' crisis that is hitting ordinary people around the world, facing rising costs and squeezes on incomes. It is intended in the spirit of tribute, humour, compassion, and solidarity - with hopes that we will get to the other side as soon as possible and with as little damage as possible. All we can do is try to crack on, and support others, starting perhaps with a smile, and a five minute break from doom-scrolling or real-world hassle.
There are a couple of UK references for viewers beyond our shores: the "Money Saving Expert" is an advice initiative for normal folk set up by Martin Lewis (always worth a look - www.moneysavingexpert.com/) that in good times helped you find cheaper deals but has lately been predicting that no household changes can really be expected to cope with global crunches. And P&O is a ferry company (running ships just down the road from us from Dover) who outrageously decided to lay off 800 of their workforce a couple of weeks ago and replace them with agency workers, with the consequence that ships to France could not even run and large parts of Kent are gridlocked.
Hope the song brings a bit of light relief, and thanks as ever to our generous Patrons who have made it possible to continue singing through the carnage. 3 of us have had COVID lately too, but we've whinged enough about the pandemic in other songs, so stuck to other calamities here :)
Stay well and Happy Ramadan, Passover, and Easter to those celebrating or just getting some time out.

The cost of living now is a tragic tragedy, but having grown up in a loveless home, seeing this family, love is priceless, you have one another, you can't buy that in any shop❤
😘❣️❤️
Nope, "You can”t buy that"
Hi Charly. I'm so sorry your childhood was cold. I hope you've been able to be the loving grown up you wish you had.💕
Hugs and love to you
@Charly Gering
My heart goes out goes out to you....sending you love and light, along with a gentle hug. Be well 💓 beary
My wife and I are laying in bed and talking about what we should do now. I looked at my phone and saw this. Priceless.! Y’all made us smile and know we’re not the only ones feeling the pain.. Thank y’all! Y’all have a beautiful family!!!
These are truly hard times. This song really helps.
We are all going to be ok 💗
This is awesome! I think it's how we all feel and they are singing it together. I always donate to the food bank but it is getting harder and harder to do so each week. Remember to vote in 2024! We have control over a lot of this. 🇺🇸
What we should do.
Sing. 🎵🎶
Don't get 😾
Get 😎
🎵🎶 makes the 🌍 go 'round.
And ❤️💙❤️ but mostly music. 🎵🎶
I love this family's creative way of expressing that crap we all go through
What an immensely talented family!! From writing to timing to harmonies. It’s simply breathtaking. Love that pooch made a special guest appearance 😂👍
Two dogs, I believe. 😃
And dog food prices have gone up too, don't forget. 🐕 🐕
But I don't think it's actually 20 times more.
Could be maybe 2 times more.
@@KittyStarlight Yeah but Kitty try singing "The dog food's 2 times above" it doesn't sound right!
@@tapol3431 And two Kitty's
I love how the dog shows up like “what’s up family, what are we singing about today”….amazing job, this takes actual talent to put together.
I thought that was cute too. What a beautiful talented family and the dog is so cute too.
in a future video, I'd love the family to do a cover of The Chain - Fleetwood Mac [The Dance]
Walks in when they sing about saving the scraps!
On point... like dog understand about inflation.
👋👋👋👋👋👋 😎👍
Mother missed her vocation in life... she should have been a singer! No microphone and still she was the loudest. Clever guys... loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The younger boy and younger girl sure seemed to sound great too!! But I'm hearing impaired
that's a mom voice!🤣
@@macaodha5288,
Love that Mom’s voice!!
I think she is doing just what she is supposed to be doing.
mom's voice is great, and calling is TO TEACH exceptional voice projection so, she's doing it right Bravo!
Thank you for remembering Jim Steinman. Most people don't realize who wrote all thosecsongs for Bat Out Of Hell.
"Nobody wants to buy your stuff!"
I felt that, lol!😔😂😂
Being a huge Meat Loaf fan for 42 years. This is awesome!!! He would have loved it!!!
❤ I miss the days of Meatloaf! I would do anything for love! I played it over and over!!!!
My favorite singer of all time and my very first 8 track i bought at age 15 years old in the '70s!!!! I loved it and you made me laugh😂
♥️♥️♥️♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So so true! 👍 TALENTS, OF ALL written sung, & in spirit of great musician's music. . Standing ovation!!!! You all rock! THANK you!
Oh yes he would have really LOVED this!!!!! They are fantastic ❤
A family that sings together stays together. Please record more!
They can do that !!
Ask the jackson family that.
they also have a Patreon page for membership levels, etc.
@@Belchmaster41 That's for Oligarchs! If they've got a yacht? 🚤🛳⛴🛥🚢
Found this by accident while looking for something else.... I laughed so much at this as every word is unfortunately how reality is for millions of people. A very talented family and a great social documentation of modern times ... re-writing of an awesome song :-)
Bless you my darlings. All so talented and very clever. Sending love.
I'm in USA, WA state and the cold kitchen and indoor coat has been our winter. We have only been heating the bedrooms and wearing extra layers so I literally put on a coat to go to the bathroom or the kitchen so I completely related to that. You nailed what so many in the world are dealing with and yet put a smile on my face at the same time. Great job... 😁❤🌻
Check out Paul Wheaton. He has a lot of ideas that could help people. One example is "personal heating" where you don't warm the room, just yourself. He even uses the incandescent light bulb heat to his advantage haha
Agreed. Thankfully we have a wood stove and bought extra wood end of 2020 before the fires. We maybe have enough to finish this season but firewood will be painful this year.
Why heat bedrooms when you only sleep in them? Why not heat the living room and kitchen?
Looking at your reply I remembered shoveling coal into a feeder and digging the Slag out of the bottom of the heater which fed our radiator heat and a huge home with like 14 foot ceilings. We wore coats inside two pairs of socks heavy boots two pairs of pants. Oh yeah it was the 60s and 70s
Tacoma here!
It’s so refreshing to see a family that can find humor despite the dismissal atrocities taking place around the world. It just goes to show that when we come together as a family we can endure anything. Oooh I just love the dog wandering in and out.
dismal*
The lyrics are true to life at the present moment. At least now I don't feel alone with rising prices when your lovely family sing about it, thank you guys. Great singers all 👍
How great this is to a big smile on my face. I was laughing so hard I almost woke up my husband who has to work now on a Saturday. We can't pay anything. Thanks for the bright spot.
What an immensely talented family! These children have the voices of angels! Thank you for sharing this amusing parody. I somehow laughed and teared up at the same time!💓
Same here
Such truth in presented in such an amazing way!!! Great job!!!
Indeed, some very good voices in there!
We've recently lost the man, but not the music. What a superb rendition of that most awesome of love ballads. I'm sure Jim Steinman would have approved how his genius lyrics are adjusted for current global problems, with a big dose of wit sprinkled on top. Fantastic job, all of you !!
Amen. The family did a beautiful job with lyrics concerning current situations created by foolish governments. Thanks
The meatloaf was a fantastic songwriter / performer. His lyrics were fresh and inventive forcing the listener to listen and think.
The Von Trap Family Singers can finally pass the baton. Thank you for social commentary in harmony! 🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Same in the U.S. as in theU.K. ....we can't do that! You're all talented singers. Thank you for sharing.
This video is exactly what I needed. I homeschool my kids just yesterday we talked about "compare and contrast 1950s home vs modern" family activities was one of our primary topics. THIS video made me laugh then cry because there's still families out there doing this type of stuff together and happy to do so.
You guys are great! Thank you.
Exactly. Kids in the 1950s would have played outside until dark. Now they need a few dollars every hour for in-app purchases.
Thank you for the time and entertainment you have given,
The only thing I can add to this is: GOD BLESS THE MARSH FAMILY!
Yes bless them Lord
A triumph 👏. And youngest daughter hit the high note really well
And the son hit the low notes there in the middle.
RIP Meat Loaf.
Great creativity all.
My goodness, the young Marshes are growing up fast, but the whole family is just as talented, enthusiastic, witty and entertaining as ever, well done all of you!
Lovely voices, all around! I especially love how mom's voice is so powerful she doesn't even need to sing into the mic. 😂
As a mom who homeschooled, I’m betting this family does the same. First time I’ve seen them. They are precious.
Standing ovation deserved for that! Brilliant lines!
That deserved a standing ovation. Just sorry I wasn't in the room, so you could see it. :-) Great job!!!
😂😂😂😂
First time I have seen this family (live in USA), but I have fallen in love with them. As for the mother's voice and the precise way she pronounces words, I think she has had some musical training. That would explain the power in her voice. I'm an adult who has been taking lessons for 12 years and she sings the way my 89 year old teacher would approve of!
i totally agree and the youngest daughter is a belter in the making just awesome! The whole family is beautiful and their voices are supreme! i too don't know how i got here. i thought it was a missionary singing family that i know called the Marshalls. i just clicked before i really saw it all!! i hope it goes viral so they can feed their adorable dog! i had to include the "Whole" family!! God Bless the Marsh's. Now i need to look up some European terms i'm not familiar with, LOL!!
This is legitimately a super talented family. Congratulations
Another excellent performance
Both laughing and crying. You guys are brilliant. Wonderful talent!!
My exact response
You are such a talented bunch of people, not only musically but in your ability to read the mood of the country and make us all laugh about it. Thank you so much! That’s made my day.
Not only the UK mood… 👏
Not the mood of the country, the mood of the world.
Yes, same mood here! You ppl join a lot of us together.
It might not seem so to some people. But this is the same mood in the U.S. too.
they got to fish and chips for tea and blimey, I realized it was Boris' bunch. Thought they were Americans with the dog food twenty times last month
Great song! I laughed all the way! Great voices, great lyrics, well done!
Meat would be proud of what you did with his song.
This is absolutely fabulous! 💖
Why don't we see these kinds of real families on mainstream media!
I'll be sharing this one.
You guys made me cry. Made me cry with laughter. God knows we need this. The pain is real. But we must somehow laugh through it too. Thank you Marsh family for a little levity in our day. God bless you all.
What's crazy is how NO big lable musicians ever sing about anything important.
🤣🤣🤣
So much talent in one room!
I miss this family. Their songs make smile or laugh, when everything goes wrong.
Louise! They are still going strong here, their Facebook page is hacked, but that's all.
Loved this!! The oldest boy (sorry do not know name) has an incredible voice. Thank you for this. Love from Canada! ❤️🇨🇦
I think his name’s Alfie :) And, I agree, an awesome voice!
Actually the whole family can sing.
@@amelia1507 not trying to be nosey but since ya know his name do ya know the rest of their names and ages. It helps to know their ages to put context with their vocal ability. I think all 4 kids are amazingly talented vocally. To be honest I have no idea how I came to view this video tonight, lol but I'm glad I did. I wish there was an intro video into this family's backstory.
@@robfrydryck127 Agree, the entire family are fine vocalists
@@Lexielouwho en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Family
Absolutely loved this!!! Even when the chips are down, family finds a way to make everything look better!!! Keep up the good job guys and girls!!
He he, we can't afford chips anymore 😁
What a musically talented family.
KUDOS to the Marsh Family! Y'all did a GREAT JOB on singing THE TRUTH! GOD BLESS Y'ALL!
Well done loved it, great voices applause 👏 🙌 👍 😀 👌
Totally FRACKED! This is absolutely brilliant, Marsh family! How on earth would we have got through the past couple of years without you!
Totally agree Yvonne
You sang what the whole country is thinking…and the dog is precious too.
Brilliant, lovely family lovely voices, and fact .
You guys are amazing!!
Truely outstanding performance, this song should be on the top of everybody's play list, it may be a parody song but it's singing the truth.👏👏👏👏👏
Telling it like it is for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the world. Great wording to the Meatloaf's song!
Brilliant! Kudos to you all. Smiling as I weep at the prices... Cheers!
Lovely to see you all still singing. What a super family you are!!! Best wishes from Ireland
Love Meatloaf. They would have made him proud. Great lyrics. Talented family. I am ready for them to start touring. Front row seats if I could afford it. Lol. Funny song.. True in somany ways unfortunately.
@ DONNA Lawrence front seats. Yikes. No I just won't pay that !
This family is BRILLIANT!
It gives me hope that even through tough times there are those who bring joy and laughter! Thank you Marsh family ( p.s. I sent this to all of my 400 Facebook people, some friends, some friends of friends. ) They loved it!
Makes me miss my dad. He passed in October and our family used to play and sing music together. He taught us Necessity vs. Want values. I would give everything I own to have moments like this family again. Perspective and love is everything! ❤🦋🎵🎶
Nice reading your comment, sorry for your loss. Those were great values Valorie, especially for these times. Unfortunately our comments often get swamped with the thousands the Marsh Family get everyday. But I am sure they would be delighted that their Music is having such positive influence, on so many people around the world.😄
Yes, what you are singing about is symbolic of the sign of the times through out the world unfortunately. I live in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and we can associate with all the elements of your song. Stay strong my friends because strength and fortitude, (and I should add) belief in the power of love, will I’m sure will get human kind through to a better life.
I’m in my 79th year and still have hope to see a better future in the short time I have left.
Okay, okay....if that doggie had started singing along with this extremely talented family, I was just gonna be too done! LOL! But seriously, you guys are amazing....from the smallest to papa and mama! Enjoyed your video immensely!!!!!
Another brilliant arrangement! The man himself (Meat Loaf) would be proud - I'm pretty sure of that. 🎹🎼❤
Brilliant! I am a lifelong, huge fan of both Meatloaf and Jim Steinman, and this song was a great tribute to the memories of both. Thank you so much for the smiles!
Just... outstanding. Thanks guys for a smile in the midst of chaos! 🙂
The prices will never go down just like in the past they never have, but you were amazing please keep singing together and laughing, you made me smile today. Thank you.
That is absolutely not true! Those prices fluctuate, yet we pay half of what Europeans pay!
They do if you consider the value or purchasing power of Ur currency.
Actually gas prices go up and down all the time. Last year when the price of wood doubled it finally came back down again to its normal price. Some people still have hope that this screwed up world will get back on track again.
WOW! Those kids have amazing voices! (The oldest boy should already be a star!) Mom and dad can really sing too, of course. Very (painfully) funny reworking of one of my favorite songs.Y'all rock!
Yeah. Not gonna lie. The older boy's voice blew me away. Something is clearly wrong with the world when nobody knows who this kid is, yet loads of talentless hacks are top of the charts. Haha.
All the kids good.. great voices.. ! Dog needs some lines too :)
We're feeling it too. Loved this❤ stay healthy guys.
This should be 2022 THEME song! You all are amazing. What a cute family! We all should be singing with you guys! Every word is TRUE!!!! Everything we all are feeling in one song!! Shared it to Facebook and subscribed to your channel. As a mother and grandmother I feel the pain every time I go to the store. I used to tell them whatever you want NOW its Babe I'm sorry we don't have it this time. That really hurts when I know they have been so good and worked so hard to help around the house. We always make sure no matter where they are going or if they have already left the house at least once a day, We tell them how much we love them.
You guys are fantastic. Thanks for sharing your family and song.
I really enjoyed that true to life spin on that song. The whole family has very good voices. Great presentation!
Awesome talent singing a very real and scarey message. Never saw this family before but you all are da bomb! 👍
This is a wonderful thing to do and your children clearly enjoy that. Well done. 🙏
Awesome! Meat Loaf would be proud of this rendition.
I thought so to and then I seen others feel the same .
Long ago I had a family that size and I would never been able to convince them to do that .
That's probably a good thing .
Same pain here in Australia, more people in poverty and homelessness acute and fuel prices horrendous, government lying and cheating, but as always you make me smile, such a hard song and musically you conquered it. Thanks marsh family!!!!!
I don't really believe Meat Loaf wrote a song like this, but I know Queen would.....before George quit, this is one song he could write, with additional guitar backing by Paul's pal, Eric
💖🌼✨ same in Europe… Together we’re strong! Hold on! 😘😘😘
Don't forget the fires and floods and racial issues 😉😥😅😭 it's exhausting!
Isn't it terrible? I was in Woollies and I was astounded by how the prices have exploded.
Blessings my ANZAC friend! We too are feeling the pain! United we stand, 🇳🇿🇦🇺
I think Meatloaf would be impressed!
What an absolutely amazingly talented family. Keep it up
This is awesome. Very talented family. Wow those boys have amazing voices! We all can totally relate to this song. It hurts.
Absolutely fabulous, and so relevant at this time, that should be a number one in the charts. You can sing us through this Christmas 🎄 when most of the Uk are sitting with coats on and wrapped in a cosy fleece. Not forgetting the candles and dry bread.
😳🥺🥶😊🥰
Meatloaf would heartily approve! Thank you for the joy.
This is amazing! You guys rocked it!
Finger on the pulse as usual. Excellent lyrics and singing.
Just wow!!! Oldest boy literally gave me goosebumps every time he sang now. His voice has become incredible! Absolutely amazing!!! Well done to you all!
That's the first thing I noticed - fantastic! 😎
I thought the woman had an amazing voice!
@@thomasalan1622 I think they are all amazing, that was awesome...I 🌄hope it goes completely viral. May God bless them
They're amazing.
Mommy had a fantastic voice ❤️
Absolutely brilliant, well done that family.
Absolutely love it! So true!
OMG that was amazing, the lyrics, harmony connection. I cried and smiled. Thank you for making me smile. Just subscribed.
As a lifelong Meatloaf fan I loved it. 🇬🇧😀💜
I'm so happy I stumbled on this. What an awesome family! So cool how the kids are brought into a conversation about inflation in a way that doesn't elicit existential dread!
Meatloaf would be right proud of you all. That is fantastic!
Loved this! We are a family of two and are struggling, can't imagine what big families are suffering. God bless.
Keep em coming. We need talent (spoofs) like that of your family. Bravo!
I agree, that WAS REALLY GOOD! Brilliant and fabulous! Loved that thank-you! Blessing's love and light talented family! 🥰🙌☀️😇💙🙏💙😇☀️🙌
What a talented family!!!! Oh my God!!! And the lyrics so true!!! I loved the video!! Bravo!! 😃
I still believe this is the best of UA-cam. What a great thing your family has going!
Those young male singers sing awesome tenors. This is a beautiful family performance; God bless 'em.
Absolutely amazing! Great job!
Love this family! Love the message!
Wow! This gave me chills and made me want to cry. This was a perfect rendition! Well done! 👏👏👏👏🫶
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! ❤👏❤👏 What wonderful lyric and the family just fits like a glove vocally. OUTSTANDING !!
I absolutely love it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂
Brilliant loved it
This is just adorable! Love the song, very funny, and everyone is so talented. Great job!!
Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman are laughing in joyous approval in that big recording studio in the sky!😄
Thinking exactly the same 👍👍👍
Oh what a grand family you are with the right visions...keep on doing what you are doing...
I am going to be humming this to myself every time I go to the grocery store!! 😊 Well-done, folks!!
