Meat Loaf | Fourteen Year-Old Reaction | I'd Do Anything for Love But I Won't Do That

[@kenbradley1480]

Meatloaf to this day is one of the most underrated singers that ever existed

[@adifferentangle7064]

How is Meatloaf underrated? Jim Steinman is definitely underrated.

[@staceydimig478]

They both are underated

Absolutely! I saw him live and he was amazing!

It’s common knowledge that when a parent talks in front of a teenager for more then 2 minutes they will automatically tune u out & eyes will glaze over.

RIP Meatloaf - thank you for the operatic genius that was your gift to the world. 🙏

Please stop explaining the song to her, let her REACT.

[@dave29123]

explain before or after, please not during.

[@geraldgetskow3420]

@@dave29123 I couldn't agree more. I skip the the beginming of these until I see the video pop up in the bottom. As for Meat Loaf, he was always so theatrical.

[@Mikyll1969]

yeah, fuk shut up... let her hear the song itself... it might be 'your' channel.. but you are building it with their help ... shut up and let them express

[@dustinmoore2589]

Yea dad is annoying af

[@PFitz-sh4ms]

The fact she sings is kind of unexpected if you never heard the song before and he ruins that

[@terryoconnor5262]

I was reading some of the comments while you were explaining at the beginning and thought that after 5 minutes you were done... I was wrong.. your explanations were probably longer that this abridged version of the song itself... give her credit she’s no idiot... giving context I get... this was too much!!

[@shukilevyandbrookesheildsl2638]

It is a bit hard to get a genuine reaction when one is continually giving the surprise away.

[@PFitz-sh4ms]

The dad totally killed any opportunity for his daughter to actually give a reaction with his over explaining.The female vocal for example is one of the unexpected parts of the song if you don’t know it’s coming. I’ve seen a few of their other videos and He’s usually not that bad at setting the scene for a live performances but this was just overkill

[@shukilevyandbrookesheildsl2638]

"I got you a present!" Before she even gets to open it...... "It's a puupy!"

[@nealm6764]

I am shocked that when he sang "... and I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight" dad didn't pause to explain: He wants to have sex with her!

[@richardsenkBeachwalker]

Yes Dad ..SHUTup and let her experience the song.

[@macbethdiaz129]

Jajaja , yes shhhh🤫​@@richardsenkBeachwalker

[@Bonk_rds]

Pops ruined an honest reaction.

[@bradweston5342]

Just "react" already!! Don't explain it all beforehand, don't pause it in the middle. As with any Jim Steinman song, just let Meatloaf tell the story!

[@earlgendron4893]

Need to pause in the middle in order to not have the video taken down for copywrite

[@rexcaliburn]

the song has never been confusing you just have to listen to the lyrics

[@rexcaliburn]

@Jasonsenipor youve never heard oh superman my laurie anderson

[@grahammills2755]

Robert Weber my dad used to wind people up in local pubs and randomly play this on jukebox then go out for a smoke while everyone went mental inside wondering what the fuck it was 🤣🤣🤣 did it every pub in our town, last pint play superman so funny!! Made my day has this comment 👍🏼

[@pj1995____]

No it's definitely confusing

[@Thelatenightchipshopexperience]

It should be 'and' not 'but' if it refers to cheating because "id do anything for love but i wont do that" doesnt make sense if he is saying he would do anything for her BUT he wont cheat

[@johnfoster5295]

Let her have her own reaction. Stop talking!!

[@deuceaj80]

For some reason I never would have expected Meatloaf to be one of the singers you two would listen to. Glad you did this one, this was an all time favorite when I was young. I was Today Year's Old when I found out it was not about cheating, thanks for the trivia info. The first CD I actually purchased myself with my own money was Bat Out of Hell 2 because of this song. Whole album was great, time to throw that up in to the Spotify list.

[@lexi305]

A.J. Doucett Lol they listen to sooo many random songs

[@timbacus9698]

Less talking, spoils the reaction if you tell her everything before it happens.

[@BrandonWestfall]

Oh shit! Do more Meatloaf.

[@marincheto007]

The woman singing in the original is Lorraine Crosby. She was in The Voice UK few years back. The singer who was supposed to sing in the Meat Loaf song didn't show up and as Lorraine was in the studio at the same time working, they asked her if she would mind stepping in

[@toddstevens13]

Buddy, we want to hear your Daughter's reaction to something new to her. Let it go already, it isn't about you. She is the one reacting.

[@nealm6764]

Except she never really reacts anyway.

[@raymonda.moseby2035]

Awww. This song bring back so many memories :) I remember when my sister got this cd on her brithday when she was16/17 years (she's 5 years older than me) Listen to this song so many times and it's still good and can't let go to tap to it! There's also a song of Meatloaf and Marion Ravn (Norwegian singer) when they do " it's all coming back to me now " together ;) Liked this one :) Wish you and your family a great weekend and Happy Easter! :) Greetings from Norway :)

[@javiervigil2511]

I love the fact that you are introducing your kids to these fantastic songs. And the rest of the youtube-verse. Ohh you're killing me with the stopped video😝😄

[@matthewtooley3771]

Can you not narrate, let meat tell the story.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Matthew Tooley yeah she looked bored as hell when he way yaberring on at the beginning

[@kiriepettet]

I really like this premise but when the dad over talks I click off...I want to hear what his kid thinks without all his input

[@whiterabbit201]

Dude....... You "dadsplained" way too much! You killed this video with the constant running on and on explanations. Even your daughter got tired of it.

[@76bllewis]

She's laughing because you keep cutting it off when it's getting good.

[@scifiwriter6092]

I so agree!

[@simbaka451]

Right....wait to the end bro

[@leighgolding2771]

The whole helicopter makes sense now that I know it was directed by Michael Bay

[@bobd2659]

Though I'd heard a lot of Meatloaf before, I think the first time I heard this through was for a rehearsal for a Magic Act I was hired into. The full 11-12 min version of the song. As you said, 'Beauty and the Beast'. 7 - 8 illusions, 4 hand tricks, and 3 disappearances. It was INSANE to say the least, so this song holds a special place for me. After a few shows of it, I ended up calling all the lighting/pyro cues DURING the performance as well. The gravity of a show like that, and not getting anything wrong and revealing something is intense. Literally needed a day off after the shows to recover mentally. Can't hear the song now without actually calling it in my head...and hoping no one is near the explosives that I can't see when I say GO!

[@MrJonno85]

07:36 Black Box with 'Ride On Time' springs to mind. Also Heaven 17 used a model in their video for 'Temptation', rather than the actual singer (Carole Kenyon?), but that may have been about availability rather than looks.

[@projektSoulXpat]

this dad is too talkative.

[@slayerwatcher]

Dude...you're killing me with the interruptions. You keep stopping the videos, to talk, and it's killin' the flow of the song.

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Lorraine Crosby is the female singer that recorded the track, even though she had no idea it was going to be a big hit single. She was not credited as the female singer.

[@Dawnspell8]

DUDE! Leave the pause button ALONE! There is plenty of time afterwards. The song/video are designed to be heard/seen uninterrupted to get the full impact. To you get rested if your sleep is chopped into bits?

[@paultomaszewski1964]

"Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" might not be an appropriate Meatloaf song for you to do together.

[@independenceltd.]

I was wondering why he wouldn't do that song first...and after a little thought it makes a lot of sense.

[@davidtaylor9590]

What he said above me Not Appropriate Thank you Paul Tomaszewski You are a great human. But wouldn't it be cool if we could get dad to listen to that entire album alone?

[@adwood201]

Perhaps with his son who is older and may be cynical enough to appreciate Paradise By The Dashboard Light.......

[@independenceltd.]

@@adwood201 What does cynicism have to do with it? I guess you could say the guy's cynical by the end, but there's a glorious 8min. journey getting there.

[@AnthonyL0401]

OMG quit overexplaining, *she* is reacting

[@CoffeeMatt10]

Big production music video indeed. Meatloaf never did anything small. Big man, big voice, big songs, big everything. I remember this song was on top of the charts for a long time here in the uk, ‘93 was when I discovered my genre of music (Rock/Metal), this was one of the songs that got me hooked.

[@derekschalk9772]

I once heard that Andrew Loyd Weber originally wanted to have Meatloaf play the Phantom in the Toronto production of Phantom of the Opera. Not sure if it's true.

[@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia]

Cool, I'll have to see if I can find anything on that.

[@Golfnut_2099]

I was totally gobsmacked when I found out that Jim Steinman died yesterday 19th April. Rest in peace, and thank you for so much joy and pleasure.

[@fragiisback]

actually, when he was a little boy he was a chunky kid and his dad called him meat and it stuck with him and then the coach started calling him meatloaf. but when he started his singing career no one wanted to sign him because of his size and said he his voice was too much like an opera singers voice, he then was hurting for money so bad living in a car or where ever he could crash when he got the chance to work on the rocky horror picture show and his manager told him if he did the show, that he would never be able to recover from it because he played a bicker drag queen.

[@MidnightTokenFloyd]

funny part is that "Model actress" was his female vocalist from 93-05 then she came back in 07 and are still together

[@GusMortis]

This song and the love my parents hold for each other is the foundation of my commitment to my wife, relationship with her, and our son.

[@Chris192814]

I remember commenting on when you did it on your own and saying it’s an amazing video and I love a bit of Meatloaf. I also think I said that there’s a guy who does a tribute show here in the UK and has Lorraine Crosby join him and sing this with him and a few other meat songs as well as getting her to sing a couple of Bonnie Tyler songs who Jim Steinman also produced a couple of albums for in between Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell 2. Good on you Annie for saying Lorraine should have been on the vid and maybe listen listen to some other Meatloaf songs as well Annie and maybe some Bonnie Tyler stuff as well as Jim Steinman wrote and produced stuff for her as well. I also got to see the Bat Out of Hell musical a couple of years back in London which was awesome.

[@iainweller452]

Has Annie listened to The Cult? So many great songs to choose by them... Fire Woman, Rain, Lil’ Devil, Big Neon Glitter to name just a few. Loving the content 😍

[@philipocallaghan]

You're over explaining everything and I can feel her pain everytime you distract her but she's too polite to tell you stop. As a viewer I can tell you it's very annoying.

[@renemarkgraf3343]

Love Meatloaf !!! The lady that sings at live show is not the same lady on the album.

[@michaelfallon3991]

She's also not the lady in the video

[@wheelz8240]

they do look a bit similar though...patty russo, i mean, I guess kinda Aspen Mille4r too.

Meat Loaf feat. Marion Raven - It's All Coming Back to Me Now. She is a Norwegian singer, born in '84 *AND* she actually is the girl featured in the music video!

[@CarinSomers]

Meatloaf was also great in the Rocky horror picture show, maybe a great idea to pick a song of that film, greetings from the netherlands

[@kyleizdabombify]

This isnt the 12 minute version. Doesnt count.

[@kristisummers9350]

I completely agree with the song giving you chills. It is one of my absolute all time favorite songs. My second favorite song is also a Meatloaf song. Back in the 90's when I was 12, my dad introduced me to his bat out of hell cassette. I broke the cassette from listening to it. Ever since that day I love all of his music. I was mercilessy teased in high school for it lol.

[@jcbass2u]

No shame in that Kristi. Bat out of Hell was a masterpiece, it is one of the all time greats. Can't beat Meatloaf and Jim Steinman together. period.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Lorraine Crosby was an excellent singer and was wonderful at being very interactive with Meatloaf on stage.

[@Runeseer]

If Jim Steinman ever wrote a commercial jingle the commercial would end up being three and a half minutes long, contain destruction, conflict, an epic romance, and a purchase.

[@tonycampbell4982]

Its actually Dracula not Beauty and the Beast. The 3 gypsey s should of gave that away in the video. Thst was even in the film Bram Stoker's Dracula

[@jesse_sweed]

Haha she totally gave you the teen eyes. I'll be there before I know it. Keep up the good work, everybody!

[@Malibonus]

"Paradise by the dashboard light" and "Two out of three ain´t that bad" could be next?

[@adwood201]

I think "For Cryin' Out Loud" is much under rated and well worth the listening.

exactly.

[@BettyBicepGirls]

His long time female singer is Patty Russo, and she is just as beautiful as this actress in the video

[@lvthud]

It's really surprising to me Patti never really "made it big", she has such a powerful voice, love listening to her....But no, Dana Patrick is better looking :-P

[@BettyBicepGirls]

Patty is very talented and beautiful

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Lorraine Crosby who had worked with Jim Steinman was asked to record the part. She was uncredited when the record blew up

[@therealchris]

Dana Patrick and Patti Russo could litteraly be sisters. but Dana could have never sung "where were you" :)

[@BlackieNuff]

They did the same bait-n-switch (Bat-n-switch?) with the female vocals/vocalist on the song that "started it all" - Paradise By The Dashboard Light from the 1977 Bat Out Of Hell album - The women heard on the song is Ellen Foley, but the woman appearing in the video was Karla DeVito, who actually does do vocals on other Meat Loaf songs (from lesser-known albums). Seems this is a "thing" with meat Loaf songs, lol.

Great!! Do more Meat!! Ps. Love the Iceland picture in the background 🙂 Greetings from Iceland.

[@mjgmer4536]

This song, Piano Man, and Bohemian Rhapsody are the only reason I want to learn to play the piano, Also you should do Piano Man next

[@darkiee69]

Jim Steinman, who wrote and produced all of Meatloafs hits, is a genius. The big production is his trademark. He's written songs for other artists aswell, among them Bonnie Tyler. May I suggest "Objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are" by Meatloaf. Great song and great video.

[@WariWahab]

Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", the Sisters of Mercy's "This Corrosion" and "More", Barry Manilow's "Read 'Em and Weep", Celine Dion's cover of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". It's all got this signature theatrical sound to it.

[@kimberlysharp2780]

😊😄 that was a good one! Hadn't seen that video in ages!

[@beccabellaa]

The lady who sung this song is from. Newcastle England as was in a studio in America and meatloaf was there recording this song the female who was meant to sing on the track didn't turn up and he heard the other women and asked her to sing it and she has said in interviews she was never asked if she wanted to b in the music video

[@poppad331]

With regards to the name Meat Loaf, his father called him "Meat" since he was a baby. Due to the fact, he was a large baby and very red when he was born and looked like a pile of meat in his fathers eyes. The Loaf part was added when he stepped on his football coach foot in high school, the teacher shouted "get off me you big meatloaf" and the nickname stuck. Although he insists that "meat" and "loaf" are two seperate words, and he preferred to be called just "Meat"

[@henrikl1394]

Mrs Loud (aka lorraine crosby ) Is the female vocalist on the album .

[@VicenteHernandez-pt6ld]

I remember watching the old beauty and the beast movie and hering that song when i hear it that's what i always remember

[@kootybear]

the real singer is named Lorraine Crosby and she is quite the looker if I do say so, so the reason seems like it was her wish, she also sang vocals on other songs but was credited with her real name, her credited name in this video was ms loud

[@tonycampbell4982]

Actually he was making big videos and live Broadway show spitical concerts before the tweeny Taylor Swifts lol. And Meatloaf was a band not just him. As the female singer shared co-lead vox on most if the songs.

[@chrisnolander]

The song has so many surprises to offer and right at the beginning dad has to reveal that "the beauty" is singing (and is actually just a model). :(

[@progressiveGal73]

I’m just as intense about music as you are, dad-and my kids look at me weirdly, too, when I’m all passionate about the old stuff, haha!

[@gonzo2495]

I was about her age when this song came out. And it was that type of song you would never admit to like in school but you've got the whole album at home.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

I don't know if 14 is too young for that "music is life changing" moment, but I hope not. It's great that you're exposing her to such a wide variety of artists and styles. There's nothing quite like that moment when you finally click with a group, or a song, and it actually changes you in a fundamental way. I think for me it was hearing "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths back in 1987. It was one of the first times that a song really spoke to me in a way that no others hadn't. I was only 18 at the time, and still trying to figure out who I was as a person.

[@jamesyboy4626]

It is too young.

[@fireidar]

There is actually a chunk missing in the version of the video from the song. I have NEVER found a video version with this version in. it says thus- Will you make me some magic with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand? Can you give me something I can take home? I can do that I can do that This comes between the "will you hold me sacred, will you hold me tight" and "will you cater for every fantasy I got". The music changes so abruptly it's obviously cut.

[@Wolfe5945]

I agree with your daughter. STOP!! You want her reaction of first time listening, and you can't shut up long enough.

[@nysunflower9439]

The original female singer, Ellen Foley, is an actual actress. She has been on Broadway and was on the tv series Night Court.

How has it taken this long for Annie to watch this video, from the moment a baby opens it's eyes they should watch every Meatloaf video non stop. She should also have listened to the music in the womb, That's just good parenting.

[@kassdog]

I love the Micheal Bay effects during the pauses.

[@sambryant5662]

It's a great song, one that relaunched Meatloaf's career. Fun fact: Meatloaf's daughter, Pearl, toured with him as the lead female vocalist in the late 1990's/ early 2000's. It made doing this song, and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights a bit challenging. Side fact: Pearl is the wife of Anthrax guitarist, and founding member, Scott Ian. Would love to see her reaction to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, since it is similar to I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That).

[@dcinsc]

It's kind of weird...you wouldn't think a couple minutes in a song would make a difference, but story wise, the difference in the studio version and the video are night and day IMO.

[@Befuddled_Ostrich]

15:00 -"If I wouldn't have told you you probably wouldn't have thought about it." That statement says slot about how you present the music to your kids. As a reaction video it would be better if you were to give limited information before the video, ask about their thoughts afterwards, then dive into the in depth talk about your history with the song and the meaning behind the music. Otherwise you're coloring their first experience with your own impressions before they've even listened to the song.

[@RLhole68]

Meatloaf sang a song in Rocky Horror Picture Show, in fact he sang a song they didn't think could be finished but he did, it is there on the net if you look for it both the song and the story, don't expect anyone to believe me but I do hope they would check before any put downs.
