Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is a song written by Jim Steinman. It was released in 1977 on the album Bat Out of Hell, with vocals by the American musician Meat Loaf alongside Ellen Foley. An uncommonly long song for a single, it has become a staple of classic rock radio[3][4] and has been described as the "greatest rock duet".

Finally a reaction video where the host actually understands what was going on in the song, they were singing about what goes on in a seventeen years old boys mind and a girls mind when faced with what they are about to do.
The 60s and 70s teens I think get this song much faster. We parked out at as Fonzie said Inspiration Point.
With this and all meatloaf songs the fact they had the lyrics pulled up really helps the reactors follow the story, when I heard it at 18 when it came out I knew exactly what it meant.
And so many don’t get the “bases” references! smh. Oh I remember those Danskin-type things like Karla’s wearing!
To me, this was a warning video. To pay attention to your body and do not let hormones direct your life. See how fast it fell apart. Not saying the path followed was wrong, it just always tends to produce less than adequate beginnings to a positive long time relationship. I was a teenager in the sixties and certainly followed my hormones but never created the anguish portrayed here. Loved it. 👏👏👍
I watched this video in real-time when it came out 30-40 years ago. I've watched a dozen reactions to it. What EVERY reactor misses is the underlying message parents of teenagers should appreciate: Males should NOT make commitments they don't want to make just to get sex and females should NOT weaponize sex just to get commitments the male doesn't want to make. It'll NEVER turn out well.
its also a very funny song, we've all been there
@@paulhadfield7909 this 🤣
Lol it worked for me. 👍🇬🇧
I think the best description of Meat Loaf's face when she asks if he'll love her forever is "deer in the headlights." :)
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the memories.
As big of a star he was a humble and regular guy. My kids and I were in Dallas for a vacation and we ran into him and a few people. My daughter was 13 at the time and she froze in he tracks and said Mr. Meatloaf? He looked at her and said " you're so young how do you know who I am?". She looked at me and I said I try to get them to listen to every type of music. He shook mine and my sons hand and kissed my daughter on the cheek. I thought I was gonna have to take her to the hospital. Lol
? I get very pissed off off people trying to profit off of the Dead but I really love meatloaf so who the f*** cares let's do this
@@chrismadden132 .so hott
???? Profiting off of the Dead that man will punch you right in the vagina
Please no thoughts and prayers the thoughts and prayers are with Anderson is an angry man please do not do that no thoughts and prayers prayers are weak do your work get to work you coward
You hit the nail right on the head Steph...thats exactly whats going on in this song....
Yes she did!!!! Everything she reacted about was SPOT ON!!!
Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell trilogy of albums is, in a word, EPIC. Jim Steinman's lyrics combined with Meatloaf's performance, along with the contributions of a host of talented musicians, adds up to a Rock-n-Roll experience not to be missed.
There was a Bat Out of Hell 3?
Jim wrote the music as well.
@@Wildwanderer99 Yes, though not all the songs were Steinmen songs.
Delightful to see a mature couple react to this brilliant song….,thanks so much
This is the best reaction to this song I've seen.
Just a quick note: The voice you're hearing is indeed Ellen Foley, however, that's NOT Ellen Foley in the video. That's Karla DeVito. Ellen Foley sang on the record but wouldn't go tour, so Karla replaced her for touring. That's why she's in the video and not Ellen.
Karla did a fantastic job lip synching. Most people don’t realize that she wasn’t singing. Ellen Foley’s voice was a great match for Meatloaf.
"His name is Robert Paulson"
His name is Robert Paulson.
His name was Robert Paulson
Yes! Finally a reactor that got it!! Bravo 👏 Love it guys❤
A rock operetta backed up by a masterpiece of music. As great as the lyrics and vocals are, let's give a shout out to the band for an absolutely awesome job. THIS SONG ROCKS!
They are telling a story that happened "long ago and far away", when they were barely seventeen. Then in the end of the song, they bring you to today and how they feel today, some twenty years later.
A lot of reactors seem shocked when they get to the line "and now I'm praying for the end of time" because they forget the whole song is told as a flashback. They married when they were young, possibly 17-18 and now they've been stuck together for life. I always thought the old TV show, Married With Children was a perfect companion for this song. :)
@@egk2584 I never thought of that but your exactly right....its Al and Peg....lol
A lot of people seem to miss the line "I never break my promise or forget my vow..." He may not have wanted to be in the marriage, but he never cheated on her or left her. He stayed true to his word and married her until death do they part.
Rock opera. Every girl during the 70’s knew this story.
@@allanjones1680 "I wouldn't rub your feet if a genie popped out of em."
The story of a lot of people's love lives , ha ha. At parties we would all sing this song, taking the different parts. Best song ever !
Great reaction video! Steph that was a funny analysis! Great job by both of you! Good idea putting the lyrics to this great rock tune up there too. And yes the female singer Ellen Foley is an actress!
Female vocalist Ellen Foley went on to be the first blonde public defender on the 80’s classic sitcom Night Court.
The actress on stage in the video was Karla De Vito who lip synced Ellen Foley's vocal. All 3 were great...!
The lady in the video was Karla Devito....however she did not sing on the album that was Ellen Foley(the voice you hear in the video), however Karla was a member of the band and did perform the song with Meatloaf on tour
Ellen couldn't tour to support the album due to previous commitments. Side note: Ellen Foley was on the first season of "Night Court".
@@gumbowski Thanks for the info Paul.... I did not know she appeared on Night Court
@@allanjones1680 she was the defense attorney before Markie Post
His facial expressions of absolute horror and nervousness crack me up before he says let me sleep on it! He looks absolutely "skeered"!😂😂😂
For some reason this song along with Chuck Berry's My Ding-A-Ling got more reactions than others. Never gets old.
God Bless both of you. Such an amazing reaction to an amazing artist. Thank you, and God Bless!
I'm going to give up my age. I was DYING to have this album when it came out when I was 10 maybe? and my brother not only got it for me for Christmas but he got me the very explicit vinyl with the cover imprinted on the album.
He lost his car keys for a month but nobody was brave enough to try to take it away from me. To this day it's one of my favorites.
I`ve watch 50 pod casters on this song , you guys are the best 1 I`ve seen
Finally. Someone gets the baseball reference. I've watched so many of these reactions and I'm absolutely loving the tribute to Meatloaf 🥰 I am so amazed how he continues to touch lives. Rock on Meat. Rock on.
I agree. I can't believe how few people get the relevance of the baseball scene. They must have not been knowledgeable of the bases and meaning of each. One of the verses that has always stood out to me that no one ever talks about is, "I'll never break my promise or forget my vow."
@@afterhours21711 Right? That line just kinda gets skipped over. Something admirable in it, if you ask me.
@@boomer63 a few of the other reactions I've seen they are not so much dogging him, but like he only told her he loved her to get some, and a couple of them were saying it while that verse played and missed it. Yes admirable is the perfect way to put it. It's not a song about a 17 boy telling her he loves her just for a one night stand. The first line and outro sets everything else as past tense and I think that gets missed and misunderstood alot.
@@afterhours21711 This song has so many layers. If you're not listening closely, you're bound to miss something.
This song is about young love, not a one night stand. Clearly she wouldn't have been there, parked by a lake in the backseat of a car barely dressed, asking that question if she didn't love him. She wanted it as much as he did. Thats my take on the whole situation.
Funny thing is Meatloaf did not want this song on the album as he was not happy with it....Glad they went ahead and put it on anyways hate to think we all would have missed out on this great piece of music......
Finally an honest reaction. From someone who understands what the song is about. Best reaction I've seen so far.❤
Rock opera is what we called it in the day... and Meatloaf was one of the best....pretty sure that is his wife.
Meat Loaf was a vocal force
We used to use the baseball analogy in high school back in the 1960s when we told others how far we got with a girl on a date. First base was making out. Second base was getting at her breasts. The baseball announcer said that Meat Loaf slid into second base head first. Third base was feeling her up down below. A home run was full penetration. He was sliding into home plate when she said "STOP RIGHT THERE!" He honored his vow to marry her and this song was reminiscing years later about the first time they had full sex and how they feel about each other now.
Probably the greatest reaction to this masterpiece! I've seen a LOT of reactions to this here on UA-cam and yours was the best lol so thank you for that and understanding and appreciating the story they were telling! I was cracking up watching you crack up and your faces as you were reacting.😂 What an amazing performer and entertainer as well as singer. They both play so well off each other in this performance! And the baseball innuendo and imagery!! Omg🤣🤣😂❤️ Loved him in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He is greatly missed, rest in peace brother ❤️🙏💔
I think I have watched every reaction to this song that UA-cam has to offer and I have to say, you two nailed it! Best reaction to this song that I have seen so far! Maybe because you had the lyrics on the screen whereas most don't and you really got the meaning of the song but you two were awesome! New subscriber here just so I can see more from you two! Loved it! This is the most theatrical (or at least ONE of the most theatrical) songs ever made and Meat Loaf really outdid himself with this one. One of my all time favorites lol
Love meatloaf ..when he performed he gave it everything he had
I found it funny when Meat Loaf first said "let me sleep on it," she turned to face the audience and mouthed the question "SLEEP ON IT????" Also, at her first "YES OR NO," when he continued to say "Let me sleep on it," she turned her back to him, I couldn't tell if she actually mouthed a naughty word or two.
The best way to explain the show as a "Rock-opera."
I’ve literally watched at least 20 reactions to this song from Africa American reactors
Yours was hands down the best!!! Loved it
Subscribed due to this…love you two
The reactors are mostly too young to actually get the song until the end.
Ellen Foley is best known for this duet with Meat Loaf, but she's had a long career in music and acting that continues to this day. She's recorded five solo studio albums, the most recent of which came out just last year. She's acted in numerous movies, tv shows, and stage productions. She is also a vocal teacher. She's in her early 70s now, but you'd never guess by looking at her.
@Brian Blake You forgot to mention that she played Billie Young on the first season of the classic TV show "Night Court" with Harry Anderson. BTW, they are remaking Night Court with the short girl fro Big Bang Theory as the judge.
R. I. P Mr. Loaf! I have to say Ellen Foley is SO adorable... she was my favorite character on Night Court too!
So long Meat, thanks for the music and memories. I was "barely 17" when BOOH dropped and had just met my one and only. Been a fan ever since. I lost my Jim 3 years ago, after 40 years of marriage.
My husband and I were huge fans of Meat Loaf had all his CD’s 🤩 watching the reaction videos are brilliant and funny but I love ❤️ it. They started off as 17 year olds and ended with them later in life when they couldn’t stand each other!
*JIM STEINMAN IS A GENIUS*
He wrote this and other songs for Meatloaf and many other artists
The lady in this video is Karla DeVito lip-synching to studio vocals by Ellen Foley
The male backup singer is Rory Dodd an amazing singer in his own right
RIP Meatloaf? No, man keep on rockin´ wherever you are! 🎤🎸
It's a couple that has been together for a long time and the relationship is over but they are thinking back on how it all started in a car down by the lake. Great music.
It's not that he was saying whatever it took to get laid, really. The lyrics give some clues to the thought process, and how it all played out.
For example, "I'll never forget my promise, or break my vows" and "It was long ago, and far away".
The beginning of song starts off with some 50's era rock'n'roll vibes, and they are singing past-tense, and Meat Loaf sings about the guys in school wishing that they were in his place, that night. So, they are looking back to being in high school, back in the 50's. She kept bugging him about it, and finally he figured, "Hell, I like her well enough, I can see her with me for the rest of my life; how bad can it be? "
This song was released in '77, so now present-tense would be 20-some odd years later.
They became an item that night, and they married straight out of high school. A couple of decades later, they're sick of each other, but are unwilling to break the promises made that night, or their wedding vows, so they pray for time to end, so that the vows are fulfilled.
Anyone married would be familiar with these rough patches. When you work through them, you come out the other side stronger and happier as a couple, usually.
Shame ol' Meat Loaf passed. I wonder if anyone ever asked him about the fate of the Paradise couple. Personally, I like to think that they worked it out, and are a happily married couple of 60+ years.
As a side note, I'm amused that the younger generations have difficulty trying to figure out what the hell "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights " means. I guess teenagers aren't driving to secluded spots for special play time, anymore.
Love, love, love your reaction. Genuine. Thanks for the video. More, please. /M.
"Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife"
Playing with something sharp can can hurt you very badly.
Meat loaf nickname was given to him by his high school football coach. I graduated high school in 1981And between this bohemian rhapsody and blinded by the light by Manfred man and the earth band Blinded by the light by Manfred man and the earth band those were my 3 favorite songs that were never played enough on the radio. I personally have found paradise by the dashboard light on many and occasion But the need to Sorry about naming it Never came up.
What a sweet couple, glad they were able to sample Meatloaf and see what he was all about
Meatloaf's music is often referred to as rock opera. As for the music itself he tending to mix a very wide variety into his songs. Everything from 50's bebop to some disco and rock. One of the reasons that it stands out so much in this particular song is because of how much of a mix might have been playing on the car's radio as everything was going on.
Top-notch first class ROCK-OPERA. Meatloaf and especially the fellow that represented him in the beginning had a hard time getting him recorded because nobody knew where they categorize his music they claim it was not Rock, recorded or played on the radio I can't remember now it's been so long. Anyway he finally got recorded finally got his music on the radio and his music finally took off. March 2023 thanks for this reaction one year later seeing the lyrics helps a lot to understand the song.
Meatloaf had a CRAZY life. I swear to god (if you don’t believe me google his interview) he was in Dallas the day Kennedy was shot. When him and his friend heard of the shooting they started to drive to Parkland Hospital only to be stopped and a Secret Service agent commandeered their vehicle. Also Meatloaf was discovered as a singer on pure luck. He was working as a parking attendant and a friend got him to audition for a show. He did and the rest was history. The man was so talented and had amazing stories. Top record sales . Sold out Arenas but a lot of people didn’t know how success he was. I was blown away two years ago when I read over his bio and accomplishments. He was a humble treasure and will be missed. He was up their with the likes of The Beatles , Michael Jackson , Eric Clapton and other but never got as much recognition as they did.
What a voice.💔
I have been watching reactions to this video for weeks, and this one is by far the BEST!!!! Love you guys, you made my day AND my week! PEACE!!!
I can't get out of this rabbit hole 🤭
One of the greatest voices of ALL time.
One correction to your analysis, they both sing "So now I'm praying for the end of time...." They are both fed up with one another, not just him with her.
Also, and this is something a lot of first time listeners miss, they sing "I'll never break my promise or forget my vow" so it's not like he just told her what she wanted to hear in order to get into her pants and then dumped her the next morning or something, he actually carried through and married her.... only for them both to come to regret it.
The female voice was Meat Loaf’s girlfriend Ellen Foley. I guess by the time they filmed the video she was no longer his girlfriend or whatever so Karla DeVito stood in for the video shoot. While that is not DeVito’s voice, her voice wasn’t dissimilar from Ellen’s.
Jim Steinman, Meatloaf’s songwriter and producer went on to do an album with DeVito
Outstanding you two are awesome. You understood this song perfect. Lived you reactions.
Dry good analysis of both the song and the performance. R.I.P. Meatloaf
Phil Rizzuto, who did the baseball analogy voice over, was a famous baseball player and legendary play by play announcer. "Holy cow" was his catchphrase. Supposedly he did not know exactly what this was being used for or it's context and was upset when he found out.
Her name is Karla DeVito. She was also a singer/actress.
and she is lip synching
I’ve watched a bunch of reaction videos tonight to Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Nobody seemed to get the significance of the baseball sequence; they seemed to be watching the action or just talking over the speaking. On the record, of course, all you could hear was the speaking. It was by Phil Rizzuto, an All Star player for the NY Yankees. He won seven World Series. After retiring from baseball, Rizzuto famously broadcast Yankee games on radio and television for the next 40 years. His popular catchphrase was "Holy cow." In the song, Meat Loaf says, “We’re going to all the way tonight tonight, we’re going to go all the way tonight.” At least in the 50s, a guy tried to get to first base (kissing), then second base (boobs), then third base (fingering), and then “go all the way” home. Get it? RIP Marvin Lee Aday.
My daughter played his music all day. I'm gonna love you two forever, you two are so awesome!
Diane Foley was fantastic in this. Meatloaf can sing man; and she brought it hard.
Meat loaf reminds me of jack black..sorry Iv had to say it…love his music so passionate..r.I.p meat loaf 🙏🏻🇬🇧✌🏻
Very cool reactions, and lady, I like that you used the words "give away my goodies".
Growing up with this music was gold. The best part of an early 80s youth
I absolutely love your review of this ! Great job !! Thank you !!!
It's a song all teenagers can relate to as its a scenario that played out in the backseat of cars for decades.
What kind of music? That's just good old fashioned rock and roll baby.
There was a song of his that was a smash hit for him then.But for some reason, it's flying under the radar of people today.... It's called :You took the words right out of my mouth.You should check that one out.I'm sure you'll like it,and maybe turn some younger people on to it who've never heard it
This! It’s one of his best imho.
They never parked at Inspiration Point.
Steph, your description of the song was perfect.
BAT Out Of Hell and 2 outta 3 Ain't Bad are great also...The lady on stage did not sing on the song or not the studio version anyways and that is wast you hear on this being it is the studio album version ..WIKI has the history of the making of the album Bat Out Of Hell
When this was first released, I had it on 8 track. Yeah, I'm that old.
Yup me too, I had it on 8 track, vinyl, cassette and CD. Worn out every version. CD version is the only one I have left.
This is a classic ,RIP meatloaf !
In the song he kept all his promises. He said he would never forget his promise or forget my vow. Sounds to me like they got married. At the end of the song it says it was long ago and far away as if a long time has passed
Golden...lol you guys made my night!
I absolutely love you two
I really mean it as an invitation. I live on The Philipines for 9 months a year, and 3 in The Netherlands. So if you need an adress to vacation in Europe or Asia, I would be proud to invite you as my guests. We all like zippin wine and great music. We would have a blast together! My wife is Pinay, we got 4 kids , and we are a strange kind of couple together. She is 5'2, I am 6'2, hahaha... But you guys always touch my soul, you are very beautiful people. Wish we were neighbours, we would have so much fun together!
He absolutely didn't tell her what he needed to say. He gave his word and he honored it. The sort of person you were talking about, Steph, would promise and then not care about his promise the next day.
As for the female vocals, the very theatrical lady in the video, who is the person who toured with the band and sang that part in concert, wasn't actually the female who's voice you were hearing. A different singer recorded the song for the album and the singer in the video lip-synced to her vocals for the video.
That was a great reaction ..... I felt so special to see your reaction to the first time hearing this song ... thanks!!
I love your reaction to this song! This is a brilliant song!
This that OG Rock n Roll.
Love the reaction
First time seeing y'all

RIP LEGEND...🤟😢😔
#MEATLOAF🔥🐐🔥
Reactions to this song are as priceless as the song. RIP Meat
Greetings from concord , nc. I just found you guys , hello ! Meatloaf was a very dramatic actor , singer , facial expressions ! Enjoy ! 😍😍
So glad to see you guys laughing. Many reactors don't get how funny this song is, as well as being an absolute banger. Maybe it helped having the lyrics there, but great to see you laughing along at the twists.
This is one of my favourite song of the Legendary Meat Loaf although i struggle to find any bad songs. RIP Big Man. Will be massively missed
Mom is on it lol. The story of two kids that were supposed to be together because of their parents and their friends and what it’s like in the moment at that moment when he mixes his loins against what he really doesn’t want to do. It’s really a deep song, although in today’s society with everyone sleeping together being normal, it may fall on deaf ears
Just in case you didn’t know he was an actor he was in the movie Rocky horror picture show his played Eddie and he also acted in several other movies . His type of music was opera Rock
He was also a good man
Thank you guys for doing this reaction
Totally brilliant..moral of the story,,,don't make promises when you are 17..lol...
Did you notice that at the end they both were saying they were praying for the end of time to get away from the other one.
The two of you are absolutely adorable. Stumbled on you by youtube recommendation. Love this song, and watching you bop along, and laughing at the pure theatricality just brought a smile to my face. Enjoy the day, and thank you.
Lmfao the reaction on your faces thro the song. Priceless haha. This was my uncle an aunts song in the 90s. Always had meatloaf playing. Parents had Jimmy page, Robert plant no quarter (album not just the song) or mother love bone.
One of my all-time favorite songs by anyone, ever. I'll never get tired of it.
One production note -- the woman in the video is lip-synching to the recorded album version, which was done by Ellen Foley. Although the woman in the video CAN sing, based on the fact that they took her on tour, this performance wasn't hers.
Correct, the woman in the video was Karla DeVito (no relation to Danny DeVito) who lip sang to Ellen Foley's recorded part of the song.
@@richardcramer1604 Thank you........I was "working" and didn't have time to look up her name. I should remember that.
Karla is actually singing in this video, however the sound quality of the recording from the concert was lousy and so they synced the album version to this video. A lot of the videos from the original album were taken from this concert footage. Just lousy audio quality back then while recording from a concert.
@@ameyer1970 Ahh, I learned something new today!
@@OneThousandHomoDJs, same here, I always believed it was lip-sync, nice to know.
This album spent 522 weeks in the UK song charts...and sold over 43 mill copies....
R.I.P. ...the GOAT 🎉❤🎉
The “Paradise “ is what he see’s in the dashboard light .
The baseball game is what they are “listening “ to . 😄
14:36 “….football field. Wait. Was that baseball?” 😂 So cute.
RIP Meat. In death a member of Project Mayhem has a name, his name was Michael Lee Aday. His name was Michael Lee Aday. His name was Michael Lee Aday...and so on and so forth.
Fight Club is one of my favourite Brad Pitt movies, I really liked Meat's character Robert Paulson, still one of the saddest deaths, right up there with Ol' Yeller.
Ol' Yeller.....& that says a mouthful , doesn't it? That is indeed a compliment...at least to all of the generation that watched & had our hearts broken by that movie in our youth. Meat was so much more than our typical rocker of the 70's....such a great entertainer...and genuinely good guy. May he rest in blissful peace.
Meatloaf got me through high school, what a wonderful selection of music we had back then 🎶 🎼 🎵
Am I really supposed to believe that two people in their 50s have never heard "Paradise By The Dashboard Light"? Give me a break.
🤷🏽♀️ it’s true😂
He stood by his vows. He regretted making those vows. However he never reneged on those vows
