Lyrics:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, hold on tight
C'mon, hold on tight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Who's watching the legendary man in 2024?
and woman
Goddamn it man this shit makes me harder than concrete in a ice storm
Me
Me
Like a bat outta hell I am ❤😂
I`m 77, but when I listen to this i`m 25!!!!!!
Rock ON.
🙌good on ya
nice way to put it. I'm a 49 year old man using his wife's tablet and feel like you described if only for around 9: minutes and wearing a shit eating grin thinking of old times drinking, partying, and trying to get to paradise. lol
hell ya good music will have that effect. im only 27 but i love meatloaf
Right on Richard, I'm 70, don't remember too many bright dashboard lights. Who needed them?
Keep on rockin' Richard.
Today is March 21, 2024 and I'm 49.. I'm listening to this and tearing up because music will never be like this again. I'm thankful for UA-cam to let us listen to this music over and over again.
Im 61 and remember when this was released the whole album is one of my all time faves
57 here. Listening right now. These songs are like a time warp for me. Love it!
@@davehendricks9529 I`m 67, neigbours gave me headphones for my 40th birthday. Guess why.
Meatloaf had his peaks. This is one of them.
His troughs ? "It's a Royal Knockout" circa 1986, springs to mind. I won't say any more...
good on you man, I am old and in the way...this song...brings back so many memories - good, bad and REALLY weird (first time I heard it, 1988 at Boston College, my friends were playing their new favorite game - $hitt!ing for distance)...
Why this isn't considered one of greatest rock songs of all time, and why Meatloaf isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are beyond me. What a performance!
Oh dear. He isn't ? That's a travesty.
Just another example of why the Hall is a joke. Meatloaf is a rock legend!
Make a petition so it can be so. I would sign.
Don't forget Ellen. She was magnificent in this.
@@rambleon3698 Touche'!
I don't always listen to Meatloaf. But when I do, so do the neighbors.
Hell yeah rock on
Thanks for that comment - made me actually LOL
i dont always listen to meatloaf but when i do i listen will bell pepper and onion
I have had a tough day. Now all is good. Best laugh I've had in days. Thanks man.
so do mine
RIP Meat Loaf. May you find eternal paradise by heaven's light.
That’s a very lovely take on the song’s’ lyrics to mourn his death. I was going to say something like “God finally answered Meat Loaf’s prayer because now it’s the end of time for him,” but I realized that it was cheesy. I like yours much better!
Amen
I am 62, but when i listen this i am a teenager. It has such a huge impact on my life. RIP meatloaf , i am forever grateful for your songs and you. I still play the CD regularly. Thankyou Meatloaf
My wife was the lead singer of a lounge band in the '80s. Several times late in the evening, my wife and myself would cover this. While she had the voice of an angel and I admit I not the best singer but when on that little stage there was no one better in the world. Unfortunately she was taken away from me in an auto accident. Every time I hear this I can feel her right beside with a wide smile and her eyes beaming. God knows I miss her. RIP LeAnna I still love you and miss you every day of life
💞💞🥹😔
So sorry for your loss.
@@radarluv67 thank you
Sorry to hear that. As a musician, I know there's few things in the world that are better than playing a song with your band and just being in total sync throughout the emotion of the song. Nothing quite like it, everyone playing their role to complete the piece.
Dont know you at all but i could see you 2 on that stage
RIP Meatloaf. Will never forget belting out this song with my friends while driving along in my 1979 black trans am in the 80's. T-top off, wind blowing our long hair while we sang both parts of this iconic song. Those were good days to be in highschool enjoying music like this.
I think we were all doing that back then!! The good old days!!
Amen brother. I was a little behind you in terms of age, but my mom used to blast the Bat Out of Hell album in her car while we travelled to her workplace (during the summer when I was off school). Since then I have blasted this album every chance I get, I love it. RIP.
You paint a wonderfully vivid picture, how we wish we could be back there. His music takes us there. Reminiscing 💕
@@paulaevans8325 same with a Mk2 esort van
Rest In PARADISE
Amazing man, song, and performer. You will be missed. RIP Meatloaf
Just found out this morning. Seems like were losing a lot of the people whose music shaped our lives in the 1970s and even 80s.....RIP
R.I. P
Rip
@@donreinke5863 I was just posting about that. Time is moving too quickly. Needs to slow down. I’m not ready for all of this. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! 🥴
Rip from Ireland 🇮🇪
Story telling at it's finest. No autotune, no electronic drums. Just musicians playing and telling the story of teenage coming of age. Awesome on so many levels.
Can understand the words.
Absolutely true! The memories this brings back of my youth and the crazy, fun I had. I'm a 62 yr old grandma (proud) when I do play music that I grew up with I play it loud and proud! This is what I get "Mom! It's too loud" my response is now you know how I feel when you play your "rap" and the walls and pictures are vibrating. ❤😂❤😂 Thanks Meatloaf for an awesome song!!
Yep, how we lost our virginity and if you were unfortunate enough to get married how you feel right now. Most likely if you haven't killed each other haha
Try ignoring the music, and just listen to the words. The words are what makes this a great song.
While you are ignoring the music, you may notice that the music enhances the words. @@robinmartin9510
@@joannavasquez1220stop right there! I need to know!!
Haha, i wasnt as fortunate in my teenage years, but having left the doorway into adulthood after more than 4 years ago now i can only imagine how much more crazy it must have been for y'all early at the show! Haha
Oh how lives change after all
Where did those days go... at 62.. don't need to remember too hard
RIP, Meatloaf. You made Rock-N-Roll UNAPOLOGETICALLY FUN!
So very true, Douglas!! Well said!! Great comment!
Seen him "live" in Toronto '77, an awesome, FUN
concert, UNFORGETTABLE!!
There will never be anyone like this man. Crazy good music. Paradise by the Dashboard Light is the theme song to a whole generation. RIP
Love it
Yeah when I was young we did everything in our cars.. cop's flash the flashlight.."move on".they were usually smiling.. we'd move on to the next spot😂😄🥴😉
@@angrybastard7364 true..pull a lever and the seats would lay back.

I am 81 years old and love this video so much keep watching it every so often
Much younger than you at 70! LOL! Love this music.
When i hear this song i'm 16/17 again as Meat Loaf says and i can relate in every way. The days and the nights in my hotrod Falcon chasing the grand prize, I want to go back. I'm nearly 62 now. Love this album.
Wow look at the tributes...this man meant a lot to a lot of people
Well Deserved For a Legend. A Such As He Is.
Soooo much talent from a very humble man. Screaming this one this morning with tears flowing. An icon whose legend will live on in the halls of music history forever. Heaven’s rockin’ this morning. ✌🏼
I hate that it takes someone dying to remember their greatness. This song is a freaking masterpiece. Heard it a thousand times and not only does it not get old….. it gets better each time. RIP.
It doesn't take someone dying. I jammed with my (then) 2 year old to this song a few years ago.
Been listening for years!!!!
And to see him do it live back then was so great 🌟 what a party
Dude, I've been a Meat Loaf fan since I first heard TOTAB back in 1978, as a ten year old boy. Nobody "forgot" about him at all.
We’ll said!
THIS comment deserves every thumbs up in the World.
Rest In Heaven, Meatloaf 🕯🤍
Karla Devito is so great with Mr Loaf. Her voice, expressions and stage acting are magnetic.
Couldn't help thinking as I watched this video: this was the pre-boob job era. refreshing.
The voice was Ellen Foley, Karla lip synced it.
@@jameslong7630
What?
She also lip synced Bat out of Hell and right after that left the tour to go on to theater with Andrew Lloyd Webber in the '80s.@@rambleon3698
@@rambleon3698@jameslong7630 is correct. On the Bat Out Of Hell album, Ellen Foley sings all of the female duets, but due to circumstances she didn’t wannna go on tour w/ Meat and so on tour, Karla sings live backup, but lip syncs Ellen’s parts. In BOOH 2 Back in to Hell the female on track Anything For Love was a woman named Ms Loud. In the video, it’s a model again lip synching again. Child of the 70’s, I have memories of listening to BOOH as far back as literally age 3. Love his music! God bless ❤
It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today..... You got that right Meat, RIP.
His music was love.
Just heard Meat Loaf passed away. So sad. Brings back so many memories. He was one of the most theatrical and talented singers ever. So original. SOAR HIGH MEAT.
He’s been waiting on this day to arrive
This evening, Meat Loaf is being played loud, very loud, all night long in our house. It is our way of paying tribute to the great Meat Loaf who was one of the very best, and we won't forget him.
Likewise
O and playing drums and guitar in tribute.
Same
Same!
It's deafness for the neighborhood!
These are going to 11 tonight!
Meat 😭😭😭😭
Doing the same right now,,
I am physically 69 years old but in my mind I am still young. My two favourite singers are Meatloaf and Freddy Mercury. I have all the original albums but I only play the CD's. When the grandchildren come over they love the songs. They tell their friends that their Granpa still rocks it! So many memories made listening to them. That was music,
RIP Meat. Your talents, and personality, will be remembered.

@@stevemartin1519 what else do you guys listen to? Need some recommandations
I listen, too, and am proud to say I still know all the words and keep up with both parts 😂 💖
61 and still loving this....RIP Meat....
Even better I’m 33 and rocking out! It’s hard being sad with music this good. Let’s not be. Today we will celebrate him as a amazing talented musician. To you Meatloaf!!!! Thank you
This song and performance is straight up dynamite. Perfection.
I remember dancing around the house screaming out this song and dancing with my beautiful best friend, my mom. She passed away last April and I miss her more than anything, 😢but listening to this song…I’m dancing with her all over again. I love ❤️ you mom ❤
My Mom is the reason I love Meatloaf as well. Any roadtrip we went on, this album was mandatory! My Mom passed away in 2018.... I played this entire album by her bedside before she passed.... She deserved to go to Heaven with some epic music playing!
Sorry for your loss. ❤. Great memory of you and your mom
xx bless you x
Damn. There are a lot of feels in this thread. RIP.
@@robertburke8353 Good on you...she did!
“It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today.”
Good night Meat Loaf. Rest easy, legend.
Indeed
He will be missed.
Awesome quote!!
I agree- excellent use of a quote-
For a lot of us.
He taught us the consequences of hasty choices made in the heat of the moment. Thank you Meatloaf. You will be missed.
Holding onto moments in time like starving wolves only to realize they were etched in stone for all of eternity.
A classic, great song, great album. What more can you say? I was born in 81 and I listen to this a lot. Better than anything today. RIP Meatloaf
meat loaf says 'hi'. i love that you do this. im a Romany and this man is talking in my Romany after death x
RIP Meat Loaf, Rock in Paradise! You went all the way tonight. Your legend will live on.
The MOST underrated singer in rock. Meatloaf kicked SERIOUS ass
Jim Steinman you mean.
Agreed
@@seawater1322 Which parts of BOH did Steinman sing lead on?
@@lisalange3022 that's funny,my name is Rich Lange with the"e"and I was going to comment what great song writing.but I dunno why I chose to pick this beloved song and even look at the comments.Are you related to Lange's in Philadelphia.

Listening to meat loaf, I'm 64, but feeling 25😂😊😊😊
68 felling 26..LOL
Right.
Right.
35 years old and meat loaf makes me feel a different kind of happy ! My go to cheer up music ❤️
You, young person, have exceptional insight and class!. Keep rockin!
Another legend gone, but never forgotten. Thank you for the magic and the good times.🥺
^ Magic. Proper description of ML !
Llppp
Llppp
I watched this video just 3 nights ago and marveled at the choreography and the intensity. Amazing Performance! We are all getting older and losing our icons one by one. God Bless Meatloaf!
It sucks so bad
Proper use of the word intensity. Difines his music.
I was just thinking that. 77-80. Prom, Homecoming songs. Great memories. I remember him on Trumps show. I forgot the name.
@@christinefalsetto62 Trump, as in the former President? That would be “The Apprentice.”
We’ve lost so many icons in such a short time: Betty White, Ronnie Spector, Sydney Portier, Bob Saget, and now Meat Loaf.
You are missed Rest In Peace, Meatloaf! 😊😊😊
this is a masterpiece.
The term "masterpiece" gets thrown around on YT way to much.
However, it certainly does apply in this case.
Truth. It will never be equaled
I still know every single word, every note! One of the greatest songs ever and pretty much sums up every high-school relationship, paradise by the dashboard lights♥️
Same here Brought me back and I can't stop listening and I never will! Blessed to have been part of that lifetime Peace to Meatloaf 💝
Yes ma'am
Me too!! I'm 65
'captivating and so intimate!'
Just found out he passed away, so sad. Rest In Peace ❤️
This is not a song. It's a great theatrical performance, a masterpiece.
It's like Bohemian rhapsody, it's a work of art
Best comment for sure
U got that right!!
@@patpeck2405 it’s crazy you say that, because I’m a musician and have written songs and whenever I think of those two song I always think “how the fuck can you write something like that”. Also as a musician when I listen to music I can’t help but being like oh this song is in whatever key and the chords and melodies and harmonies and why they work, but with those two my brain goes back to pre musician brain, it’s great
Jim Steinman was a genius for writing and composing this album! RIP Jim.
Meat Loaf: the rare straight man who truly understood camp.
Iam 67 and will always listen to him it has always amazed me he was a opera singer
The greatest vocals of all time.
One of the best songs and performances of all time. RIP Meatloaf. Thanks
One of the greatest songs ever given to us. Dude was a hell of a showman. RIP.
Comment on Meat Loaf _ Paradise By The Dashboard Light Rock Music it was good
I was born in 1976 and I was brought up with meatloaf ever since.
This classic song has everything. Great singing, humor, drama, theatre, sex and baseball. RIP Meat Loaf your music gave me so much enjoyment from my late teens until today and will always bring the world musical pleasure!
This is better than bat out of hell. Pure theatre. I found him oddly attractive at 15
No kidding. As classics go, it will always be tied for first.
@Matthew Paul Well said!
Mostly baseball ☝️
This entire album was played by my dad at home and in the car so much that I had it memorized, even the baseball announcer. I'm crying because he brought so much fun to my family, dancing with my dad and my cousin, sitting around drinking a few beers when I was old enough. My dad passed in '95 and my dear cousin Oct 1, 2021.. Meat Loaf is an icon and always will be. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories and music! I pay for peace for your family and friends during their loss and grief.
Lovely tribute ❤️
Beautiful Words! ❤
In the late 80's, my friends and I had a party. We lined up, boys on one side and girls on the other and sang this song. It was so much fun! If it happened now, it would be immortalized on social media, but that night only exists now in my mind and the minds of anyone else who was sober enough to remember it.
RIP Meatloaf. I love this song.
Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Being a teenager captured for all time. All of Meatloaf's work was ICONIC and we have his work for all to hail as their Anthem. He LIVES especially when parked in a car and watching the Submarine Races for ALL TIME! Can only imagine the band he is working with now in heaven. LOVE
I’m sure he’s working with Freddie Mercury, Prince, and Whitney Houston.
I'm 53 and grew up listening to Meatloaf. My kids are starting to appreciate him now, and he's gone. RIP to another Legend!! Why is God taking all these amazing people from us?!??!? LEAVE SOME FOR US DOWN HERE!!!!
It's called old age and not taking care of yourself. He was overweight most of his life and it's a miracle that he lived to be in his 70's. 🤷♀️🙁
@@raechelyndawn2580 In his particular case it's very likely called covid. He was a big anti-vaxxer in the last year :(
@@AllenKnutson According to TMZ it was complications due to Covid. But that last part of your statement is wrong. He wasn't anti-vaxxer as far we know - he was anti-quarantine, anti-mask, anti-controlling-government. The thing that folks don't seem to realize that catching Covid is 99.5% survivable. That 0.5% is due to people having serious background health issues. And Meat has some health issues - overweight and asthma to name a couple. The asthma caused him to cancel some shows a while back.
RIP - gonna miss him but we have his music to remember him.
@@AllenKnutson no he was not just let the man RIP.
@@birddogne666 thank you
Meatloaf the inventor of Rock Opera
The Who might have something to say about that.
@@NoMoreAsterisks ok u got me there!
True BUT MEATLOAF had better vocals( as good as Roger is! ) cheers
Coming up on 50 years since this came out. Time flies way too fast for having to live through each second of it.
I basically grew up to Meatloaf.
My mother used to sing in the car, dance in the kitchen, and crank this song everytime she heard it. Before digital releases and digital platforms and people listened to the radio, if the song came on just before we got home, she'd sit in the car in the driveway until the song was over.
She even requested this song when she got remarried (to whom is my awesome father now).
I grew up listening to him too. Thanks to my mom
Me too. My Mum and I have been singing along to Meatloaf since I was a kid, and we still sing his songs now. Such amazing music, and an amazing artist. ❤
Awesome! I love it!
In an farm field in Staynor Ontario is my moms old Plymouth Volare with this 8 track stuck in the player.
Love that. All of it. Thx for sharing. I can TOTALLY relate to sitting in the driveway until it finished.
Sitting at work listening to paradise by the dashboard light and crying is not how I expect to end my day.
I feel that :(
sitting....I've been dancing all the way....
In 1977, when this came out i was 17...and I was surely blessed.
You and me both my friend.....
@@jameswagoner3309 I was 17, too. Still have the original album. Screaming this one to the heavens this morning. ✌🏼
The lady singer is so adorable! ❤🎉❤🎉
She's actually lip syncing. The actual female voice on this is Ellen Foley from the hit sitcom, 'Night Court.
@@ToddPriestMaidenCrue-dk5nm Cool 😎 info.
From old night court?
Or newer night court? 😊...
@@sandrawilkinson3782 The original one. She was the blonde one with short hair. I think she was the prosecuting attorney. Markie Post replaced her after she left the show.
@@ToddPriestMaidenCrue-dk5nm ohh ok. I only seen the ones with Marky post 👍💖...
The new ones are kind of depressing to watch. When only one or two originals are left. ,💖
Aged 53, still listening, takes me back to my youth
RIP LOAF_ the world is worse off for your absence. Grateful I got to see you Live once-hell of a performer...
I'm envious you got to see him live!
Feeling lucky to have grown up with this album as part of the soundtrack of my life. Damn they don’t make music like this anymore. Rest In Peace big guy.
🙏🤘🏻
Nice, never thought about it like that. 55yr old, still learn things.from earliest memory till now, i know what happened in begin 1990, 80, whatever, cause then i heared Sex Pistols, 82/84 PE nr1, 90 ice T, NWA etc for first time.
This guy brings me back to teens carefree and a wildchild LOVE HIM 💋
My neighbors love meatloaf
Rest easy, Meat Loaf. Your music, the soul, the energy that you put into your art, will live on forever. You will always be amazing.
this song came to mind when I heard the sad news. this year is not off to a great start 😥
Such a fantastic song that takes me back to my youth... a true lyrical masterpiece. "Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed, we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed"... what a line! One of my top 10 favorite pieces of music. RIP Meat Loaf...
Senator John Kennedy brought me here. Fox News was asking him a question and before he answered he said, "but first i wanna say something positive Harris.. R.I.P.

When I was a kid in 1977 and I first heard this song, I thought the name of it was "Paradise By The Gas Stove Light" LOL
What a great album. Takes me back to a better time.
This is such a classic song, everyone can relate. This will be being playing in 100 years for sure. Rest in Peace Meatloaf.

It's April 4th,2024 and I couldn't agree with you more! Those were the days,my friend!

2023 and still better than almost everything on the radio today. RIP Meat.
Totally agree with you11111
Everything today is crap and fake. Takes 60 people to write garbage and lip sing.
You are not wrong, the majority of music now can't hold a candle to what I grew up with
This is such a cuckhold opinion
Sono totalmente d'accordo con te!

More kids should see this. It's a genius interpretation of a common adolescent situation.

STILL LISTENING AT ALMOST 77 YEARS OLD. Meatloaf deserved more fame and recognition than he achieved. The lyrics are really singular and his on stage acting is sheer brilliance. UNIQUE
This is part of the 4th most sold album of All time, It spent 522 weeks on the Top Charts.
What exactly do you want more for him?

Meat Loaf*
Meatloaf was black balled by the music industry but he proved them wrong and sold millions of records. If I had any objections to his recordings it is they are a little too long, but they are like an opera. I didn't like the baseball commentary as it had no meaning for this recording. BTW-I'm over 77.
RIP Meat Loaf. This song brings back so many memories of how much fun the world used to be XX

My wife and I met in high school and this was our fun song when we "hooked up". So before our first time she brought up this song and said "hey you have to love me for the rest of your life"......and of course I said yes. We loved the Bat out of Hell cassette. I still have it. We have been married for 38 years now and I still love her so much. Thanks for the fun songs that were part of our growing up Meatloaf. RIP
Great story Steve! Happy marriage to you and hope you continue to last another 38
You seem like a good dude, Steve. Congrats, and best wishes for another 38!
@ProMrLecoq01 Yes thank you. The memories we had with his songs.
@Great Big Convoy Thank you. Yes my wife and I are high school sweethearts. We have fun memories with his songs. Thank you for the wishes.

I’ll give you an answer in the morning” “ I swore I would love you til the end of time.” “ Now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive” “”cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can Really survive. I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow but God only knows what I can do right now. ““I’m praying for the end of time so that I can end my time with you”
“It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today”
An ode to youthful passion. Thank you, Meatloaf.
Soundtrack to my mid-teens

RIP MEATLOAF
There's nothing like music back then. They don't make ANYTHING like this anymore
I'm still listening at 77 years old. Long live rock.
Vic Gallimore 70s were great for concerts. Saw lots of big bands Stones, Zepplelin, Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, The Who, Neil Young. Cool seeing girls having the hots for Long Hair Rock Stars. I nicknamed Mick Jagger ( A ROOSTER ON ACID ) cause of his crazy Dancing. Those concerts were crazy people so Drunk loud Music didnt wake them up.
U beautiful rockstar💜💜💜💜💜
Keep her lit vic fair play to u
You're never too old for great rock n roll!!!
You go girl
This is not rock and roll, it is light opera. The libretto and music are brilliant and brilliantly interpreted. RIP Jim Steinman.
exactly
well put
Offenbach would have loved it
A rock opera
Have you heard of Queen lol genX rocked it all don’t forget this was before computers to be great you had to be Great 💯
Yup
@@RedStrikerBeetleborgcame here to correct "light" to "rock" ya got here first
This brings me back to being a teenager listening to it on the turntable and my parents telling me to turn it down!! Love Meat!!
Actually, in my house, it was... " Turn down that noise!!!" LOL
RIP Marvin Lee Aday. You were the best.
Bat Out of Hell, the entire album, is one of the most insane and nutty things ever committed to music. It's also one of the best.
Third best selling of all time right behind Thriller and Back In Black. Produced by the legendary Todd Rundgren and written by Jim Steinman two of the best in the business.

Good music. Genius music
Believe it or not, I heard this album for the first time on an 8 track tape in around 1992 or so. When it was through playing, my buddy and I didn't know what we had just heard. It was everything you said and more.

I had the "Bat Out of Hell" album on 8-track right after it came out! Still got the 8-track tape......but no 8-track player. Used to listen to that "brand new" tape while cruising in my "brand new" 1981 Camaro.
There is no other song than THIS ONE that's more imprinted on my soul. This song. This MASTERPIECE 🦇✨
@@Jabbing_Jack yes!saying RIP Meatloaf is not helping our country, Meatloaf should've stayed here.
