[@spacebace]

Meatloaf wasn't just a singer, he was a true performer. One of my favourite songs, Thanks.

[@GGGritzer]

Meat Loaf..................

[@azachman]

Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman and Ellen Foley! One of the greatest rock performances of all time! There is not one artist who even comes close to this today!

[@malcolmpeacock2484]

Yeah have to agree with you

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Ellen Foley did the vocals on the album. Carla Bonoff was in the video. It wasn't a live performance. It's a great video--looks live.(sorry, hate to burst anyone's balloon)

[@azachman]

@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 Karla Devito, actually. She went on tour with Meat Loaf because Ellen Foley was doing Night Court.

[@rogerdaly6326]

​​@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 It was Karla Devito not Carla Bonoff. Also all the videos from the album that show them live were shot during rehearsal for tour with no audience present. The studio album track was synched to the video. If you watch the video for You Took The Wotds (Right Out Of My Mouth) you can see where the synchronization is off in about 3 spots.

[@robdyer6088]

You're right about the Ellen Foley and the recording, but this is Karla DeVito, the singer who toured with him and recorded the video.

[@billboyd9028]

This is "Rock Opera" which is its own genre. It includes the music from "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Little Shop of Horrors", and "Tommy - A Rock Opera". Meat Loaf was the king of Rock Opera.

[@michaeldowson6988]

She needs to try out some Glam Rock.

[@Pete-ov7kj]

You beat me to it. Was coming here to let Biss know that this is epic rock opera.

[@johnm281]

HOT Patootie, Bless My Soul, from Rocky Horror Picture Show is a Show Stopper!

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

Maybe Jim Steinman would be more properly the king of Rock Opera, for creating this and so many others

[@GroovingPict]

Rocky Horror and Little Shop of Horrors are both musicals, not rock operas. In an "opera" (rock or otherwise), all the dialogue is sung. Conversely a musical is a regular play (or movie) where characters occasionally break out into song. Rocky Horror (Picture) Show is a musical. Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera.

[@caphowdy666]

I will always say this, Meat Loaf was not a singer, he was a performer who just happened to be a great singer.

[@navagate1900]

This is considered Rock Opera.

[@fostercathead]

The charisma of the protagonists is so overwhelming that it's easy to overlook how powerful the band is! Let's give a shout out to Todd Rundgren playing guitar, Rundgren's Utopia bandmates Kasim Sulton on bass and Roger Powell on synthesizer, and Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band on piano and drums, respectively.

[@markdecker6190]

I did not know that, thanks!

[@VincentKinan]

That’s good info, I did not know that! Wow

[@user-qq1uy8qj6l]

The baseball metaphor is the most classic part. She wants his commitment before she gives the body up. He doesn't want to commit. That makes whole song for me. Some of the story telling ever. Great song.

[@markhellman-pn3hn]

(fun fact) the radio announcer was a REAL baseball radio announcer from the 70s !! ... his name was Phil Rizzuto - and he was from the New York Yankees

[@flash218ily]

HOLY COW! 🤣

[@sgtpep]

Even more of a fun fact about Phil Rizzuto. He was given the script and asked if he would read this as a voice- over, which he did. Rizzuto was so straight-laced that they couldn't tell him why they wanted this. He was pretty upset when he found out how they used his work and turned it into a very mature theme! 😂

[@robertmiller2633]

Scooter

[@knavehart]

​@@sgtpep When Rizzuto recorded his piece, he was reportedly unaware of how his spoken contribution would be used. When the song broke, Rizzuto said his parish priest called him in shock. However, "Phil was no dummy", said singer Meat Loaf. "He knew exactly what was going on, and he told me such. He was just getting some heat from a priest and felt like he had to do something. I totally understood." Years later, Rizzuto would laughingly retell the story saying he got snookered by Meat Loaf, but he had a good attitude about it and when Meat Loaf asked him to go on tour with him, Rizzuto was flattered but declined, jokingly saying that Cora(Phil's wife) would "kill him" if he did.

[@metoo7557]

Meatloaf was above all a performer. his songs were always full throttle performances. Many people also like "I'd do anything for love (but i won't do that)" by Meatloaf. watching the video for this is highly recommended.

[@OliverTwist-kr8gm]

Glam rock

[@glenngunnis6642]

I remember when this song was released. I love seeing the younger reactors get surprised by the ending!🤘🎸

[@tigerpinky]

Just imagine all the kids that had to experience their parents singing along with this song every time it came on the radio :)

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

That would be my kids. Also, my wife and I taking over the dance floor to act this out every time.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

Imagine all the kids that were "made" to this song in back and front seats around the world

[@daveb1797]

Meatloaf was a Legend. One of my absolute favorites. EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVEYTHING ELSE!!!!

[@mclovin6239]

The meat master general was truly one of a kind. He was an American original, taken from us too early by COVID-19. Thank you for a great reaction. Keep up the good work and rock on.🤘🏻🔥🎶

[@mlong1958]

Meatloaf made a deal to show this promo video (not from a real concert) before every showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he played Eddie. He was a heldentenor and was offered a lot of money to sing opera. The lady in white is Karla DeVito. Her vocals were replaced by the album vocals of Ellen Foley. Karla is a great singer, but Ellen's vocals were perfection. Karla did the concert tour. Karla has been married to actor Robbie Benson since the 1980s. Ellen was a public defender (Billie) in the TV series Night Court. She also appeared in several movies like Cocktail with Tom Cruise. Meat Loaf never considered himself a singer. He always said that he was an actor, that sometimes portrayed a singer. RIP Marvin "Meat Loaf" Aday.

[@DavidLender]

I did not know that about Ellen Foley being on Night Court. Thanks!!

[@acesfn7316]

Karla DeVito is actually a talented singer. When she toured with Meatloaf she does sing. She sang towards the end of this particular song

[@EShelby2127]

Great memories from college days, 1977 when the album came out. Dormitory stereos were the viral shares of the day. No headphones, just great speakers, Friday afternoon, quiet hours over after class, laying the needle down in these great albums... BOSTON, was the first in my freshman year of 1976... MORE 70s PLEASE!

[@RobPresq1717]

I love that you had fun with this song and enjoyed it Bisscute. I love Meatloaf and this song really put him "on the map" but I still think Two Out of Three Ain't Bad is his best, iconic single which showcases his majestic voice. My opinion of course, I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just my preference. I still love this song and the upbeat tone of the song and the message we can all relate to at some point in our lives, and I love the voice of Meatloaf (of course) but I REALLY LOVE the voice, charisma, facial expressions, and mannerisms of Ellen Foley as well. She just had that look that fit the part perfectly in this song and video. I love the baseball reference in this as well as I was in my teens during the late 80's and after a date my friends would always ask "Did you at least reach 2nd base?" Unfortunately, I usually had to admit "no" as I was a slow runner on the base paths but not my choice of course :(

[@Calico_Jack_]

This song gives me the fondest memories of my youth. The reason you feel like it is more a performance than a mere a song is that these two began careers as musical stage performers. Acting and singing brought took their stage shows to a higher level. Thank you for doing this one.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

Karla DeVito created an amazing song called Bloody Bess for a friend's theater show. It was always my favourite song from her album.

[@rickeyjohnson6404]

Meatloaf was a great entertainer he started on Broadway for about 5 years where he won awards for Hairspray and Rocky horror picture show and along with his music which was great but he also appeared in about 90 movies such as Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight club to mention a couple

[@JimAW63]

Have you ever seen the show Married With Children? I've always thought of this as the Al Bundy story. He was a high school football star. His life was planned. College football, maybe a chance to go pro. On the night of the big game, he met the beautiful redhead, Peggy. She got pregnant. He did the right thing and married her. Now he's stuck working in a shoe store. His wife won't work, cook, clean, or watch the kids. It made him a little bitter. If you've never seen the show, there are some great compilation videos available.

[@taoist32]

Full episodes are always better than compilations. You get full context on every character and the dynamics between them.

[@The_Dudester]

Interesting observation!! This could have been my brother's story. He was a star football player, but also an all around athlete (wresting team, shotput on track & field, and he lifeguarded in the summer-phenomenal swimmer). Last football game of his junior year his right knee was so screwed up that he had to give up everything but the lifeguarding. This inspired him to become a physical therapist, a job that he has held for forty years now. So, the injury saved him from selling shoes.

[@owenbb505]

"going down town and third base and [hesitant silence] ...head first.." Watching that whole bit from 7:10 to 7:40 killed me!! 🤣🤣 Excellent job, Bisscute, you're gorgeous and funny as hell! xx

[@johnbamforth2974]

The genre is rock opera aka as theatre rock. Meatloaf got his start on stage plays: hair, rock horror picture show and brought that to his music. Almost all of his songs are as much acting as singing.

[@derekdenton8689]

@8:11 “SLEEP WITH THE FISHES!!!”😂😂😂 Thank God I wasn’t drinking anything at that moment!😅😎

[@willarth9186]

Meatloaf's 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is just a perfect rock opera video!!!

[@kylesummers1565]

Lol. It is definitely a performance as much as a song. My parents freaked out when me, or my older sisters (or the radio) played it. Peace, Love!!

[@rogergorske6291]

This is real music it's the stuff that when your driving down the road and this comes on the volume goes on high ❤

[@edw1045]

Oh my, I am jealous i missed this one. One of the great classics.

[@davidboivin7996]

This song is a pure piece of Americana!!

[@gregoryalt9366]

I really , really , really like your reactions ! This reaction was special, I could see it in your face before you spoke. Great job Bisscute !! Thank you !!!

[@r_p_m7330]

For Gen X this song is just part of our lives. Been hearing it and singing it with our friends at parties as long as we can remember.

[@jan-hein]

Listen to the whole album Bat Out Of Hell

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

You can tell from this performance that they were both originally from musical theatre.

[@larryfisher5796]

Meatloaf always sead that he wasn't a singer but an actor . When I was younger I would have Meatloaf on my radio just jamming out . I still love to listen to him. PS I'M 80 YEARS AGO . JUST AN OLD ROCK AN ROLL MAN 😎😎😎😎😎

[@biggmaqq]

When this came out every woman I knew owned this album, just for this song.

[@pancentricism]

The first reactor I've seen who understood exactly what "Let me sleep on it" was referring to.

[@libertarianguy5567]

Actually a prenup is to protect your assets you have going into a marriage, not the assets you gain during a marriage. If they were both 17, neither had any real assets going into the marriage, so in this case a prenup wouldn't make any sense.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

He's going head first means his lips are going for the tits whether he gets that bra off or not cause he's young and has no idea how to remove that thing anyway. Third base means the underwear is off and getting to home plate means his head went in. She suddenly says, "will you make me your wife and love me forever." At the moment, he is getting hit with the last and final possible stop only while he's already between her legs with nothing between them. That's why the look.

[@northwestpackfan4725]

Ummm....Let me sleep on it was not a prenup. The "It" was her...let's do the deed and I will let you know later.

[@simonwinn8757]

"Let me sleep on it." is a passive roundabout way of saying "No" with trying to minimize hurt feelings. He does not love her or want to marry her, she is nothing more than a feather in his cap for bragging rights.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

@@simonwinn8757, it's sexual connotation to say, "Let me sleep with you" for her underwear is off as he rounded third base. He's trying to make her laugh, but she kept pressing the point and so he promised marriage. Do you believe that was the only chain on him? Doubt it. He probably got her pregnant and his Catholic mom held him to the promise.

[@user-yl9wz7uc3u]

ITS ROCK N ROLL LOL!!! MY HIGH SCHOOL WAS CRAZY ABOUT THIS SONG WHEN IT CAME OUT !!!!!

[@greggroberts9730]

One of the best reactions to this production. I think you’re the only one who got the “head first” reference for second base😅. Such great lyrics. Well done!

[@douglaslafreniere5707]

Bat Out of Hell one of the best albums of all time , 43 Million copies sold

[@bigp3006]

Your reactions as the song evolved had me rolling. The songs situation was a fairly common scenario of the time, one of the songs many selling points was its relatability.

[@DavidHAngelinaJFan]

He is a true entertainer, check him out in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

It’s such a great song.heartbreaking but also so very realistic

[@macuser1995]

That was an Amazing reaction, very very few people that listen to this song catch what is is being said when Meat Loaf says "and now I am praying for the end of time", it's usually much closer to the end when people realize he wants to end the relationship.

[@TheHeartbanger]

Its always fun to see someones first reaction to this song 😀

[@deanroddey2881]

As always has to be pointed out, this is a a lip-synced performance over the studio album, and the girl here wasn't the singer on the album. That was Ellen Foley. It's very theatrical rock-n-roll. The ooo-shap-shap bit is a direct reference to classic 50s rock.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

In a video on KZbin Night At The Proms Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell (20+ mins) Meatloaf has his actual daughter singing background vocals doing the oooh shop shops, and looking incredible in a long black dress

[@JLALALALA]

I’ve loved this performance ever since I saw it in the 70’s and the Bat out of Hell album is still my all time favorite album.

[@gerardbyrnes5780]

Fun reaction. You didn't miss much about the messages in this great performance.

[@richardkint6531]

I have seen many reactions to this video, but I was laughing so much 😂😂😂 to your reaction! I wasn't sure you got the baseball reference being from Romania, but I think you did. One of the best Bisscute! Happy you enjoyed it.😎

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

I think she was more familiar with the whole 2nd & 3rd bases idea, she snapped to Pre-Nup instantly lol

[@8967Logan]

I always love that the woman in this piece is the one that is erratic "I gotta know right now" and the guy is calm "Let me sleep on it" :). I must say some of those Carpathian girls are kind of cute ;).

[@scott3744]

It seems like a lot of young people don't understand the title of the song, because cars today are different from cars in the 1950s, 60s and even 70s. Back then, lots of cars had a front bench seat, one long seat that stretched from door to door. So if he is laying down on the front bench seat of the car, with his girl, and the dashboard lights are on, and she's barely dressed, he can see 'paradise' by the dashboard lights.

[@tomyoung9049]

Meatloaf is a true performer on stage

[@TheAnomaly0]

I can see paradise every time I see you smile Bisscute.

[@jimbatten1927]

Wow.. I've seen allot of reactions to this video but yours was the first one where I could see pure enjoyment in the song/performance. Thank you for putting a huge smile on my face.

[@taoist32]

She’s authentic. When you watch her videos, you can tell whether she enjoys it or not.

[@stephen9302]

RIP Meatloaf 🙏🏼 one of the best male performers of all time

[@JimmyJamJack]

It was fun watching you react to this. You listened to both the music & lyrics and got the humor.

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

A great song. Wonderful reaction. 😊😊❤❤

[@toddfuresz462]

You are the best dancer in a chair I have ever seen! Keep it up and react to good songs like this and we all will enjoy. Well done.

[@voodooacidman]

pure theatre! :D keep up the great work my friend! big love to all people :)

[@niico.912]

I'm listening this for this time. They are great

[@ThistleAndSea]

LOL! Good one, Bisscute! So much fun. Thanks for sharing this one with us. 🙂

[@RockinMamaT]

I love watching people get caught off guard reacting to this song. Two out of three ain't bad is a must my friend. Peace out ✌️ ☮️

[@kennethkirchoff4824]

A beautiful and funny reaction to an amazing song. Rock on, Bisscute!

[@doorofnight87]

I have always absolutely loved this song. It is so, so much funny and the interplay between the two is so well done. It is almost impossible not to dance to (loved the dancing while holding on to your hair). Great review!

[@jamesdalton8539]

Meatloaf was in the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Ed Norton! The girl in this video is Karla DeVito (she is lip syncing) to the vocals of Ellen Foley who did the original vocals for the album!!!

[@javiervillarreal2920]

The great theatrical rock of Meat Loaf, thanks my dear friend, saludos desde México :)

[@davidhulsizer7576]

I started listening to Meatloaf in the 1970s and I love the music.

[@seandobson6221]

You’re a young pup so this is a little bit old but when I was about 10 we used to go to a skating rink every Friday, and this was in the 80s. The music played there was not kid friendly. I can remember skating and singing along at 10 years old without a single as to what I was singing. It didn’t catch up with me til I was an adult. It was overtly sexual and was great theatre! Meatloaf was a showman extraordinaire. And when tells her let me sleep on it he’s trying to get her to go ahead and he’d tell her if was gonna stay with her. He wants to sample the goods before making the purchase.

[@Eddie-ol9cv]

A LITTLE RESPECT GOES A LONG WAY WHEN COMPLIMENTING MY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG FRIEND AND HER REACTIONS COWBOYS 👍

[@Gilbert0Jimenez]

Love your reaction! I love your rock and roll! You’re right it brings memories!

[@grabtharshammer]

"Sleep with the fishes" !!! I love it

[@bbreon75]

The lead singer of meatloaf was in fight club. He was the testicular cancer patient with the man boobs.

[@smedleybutler1969]

Great reaction Biss!

[@catindigo9907]

That was an amazing reaction, I enjoyed how much fun you had with one of my all time favorite songs. Back in the 80s i used to go to science fiction conventions and me and a friend had a dance routine to this song. Sometimes the crowd would all watch us dance. Many happy memories with this song.

[@glennbrock4021]

I love watching you have so much fun with this.❤❤❤❤

[@RoadDoug]

Love you Biscute, looked like you were having fun with this one.

[@davidbaron6647]

Mr. Meatloaf was so amazing 😮 rip. Can't wait for your reaction 😊

[@brianhammil3356]

What I truly remember when a kid growing up in the '80s and in high school was that Meatloaf gave us bigger guys and maybe not so good looking hope that with a LOT of luck and some talent we could be rock stars and get the ladies as well!....LOL In the early and late '70s he was almost a household name...In the late '70s and through the '80s he suffered from some health and vocal issues. He was such a powerful performer that he blew his vocal cords out....In the early '90s he again teamed up with Jim Steinman and produced "Bat Out of Hell II," which the grammy award winning song "I Would Do Anything for Love" was born and he was reborn. He struggled with his voice though, you can tell in live performances found around "KZbin," there were nights he was on and others his voice just failed (due to no fault of his own). He did however perform up until his death due to complications from COVID-19 in 2022. RIP Such a great singer, actor and performer (he was in quite a few of movies credited as Meatloaf) from "Rocky Horror Picture Show," to "Fight Club," he was just incredible.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

He was great in the movie Roadie, with Blondie doing a rocked up cover of Johnny Cash"s Ring of Fire. Check out the video of him singing this with Aspen Miller, she dresses as a sort of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and her walk/strut/wiggle and mannerisms show even more of the Big Guy taking his shot at the Goddess of all the girls.

[@donbelanger1015]

great job. I used to know a couple of guys that would play this as skit at people's weddings. one of them would dress up in a dress. LOL funny to watch.

[@P-M-869]

Pre-Nup had nothing to do with it. It was more like he wasn't sure about getting married.

[@azachman]

No he just wanted sex.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

Dude, it's his word against hers and the underwear is already pulled down. He just wants her to shut up at that moment.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

Likely it was the baby coming that made him keep his word. Probably only because his mom was a Catholic.

[@mrbilx]

I’ve missed the chair dancing. Great to see again!!! 🤘🏼🤪🤘🏼

[@CRabbit42]

Love your reaction to this one! The "let me sleep on it" line was his way of trying to get her to do it before giving her an answer, which would have been "No" if she let it happen. The only reason he gave in and swore his whole future to her was because his hormones were in hyper mode and that was the only way to get what he wanted. I was 16 when this song came out. I was in my 1st *serious* relationship, a year later, so I can relate to this one.

[@cmanayf4354]

Thx Biss! Cool reaction. I totally cracked up when you said....PRENUP!😂😂

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

Why? You don't think he'll pull out paperwork after removing her underwear, did you?

[@earlfox6030]

one of the best stories in rock n roll

[@SergeChel]

i love his rock ballads

[@DeansMayhem]

"sleep with the fishes" hahaha. You're so cute Biss.

[@Daxtarr1]

Love your channel. I Enjoy seeing younger generation's appreciate the music I loved when I was young!

[@apulrang]

As a commenter below said, this is Rock Opera. But even more than some actual rock operas, like The Who's "Tommy," I think of this song as rock for theater kids.

[@rf3899]

YES!!!! I've been waiting for this one!!!

[@43JohnDeere]

Your facial expressions and commentary reacting to this song are priceless too!

[@alejandromartinez1766]

Loved your reaction Miss Bisscute 🥰 great choice.

[@BruceWoodall]

Ok, I'm going to start with saying I'm a huge meatloaf fan. I actually lived this. LoL But I have to say this was probably the funnest reaction I've seen from you. Especially the end when you caught on to praying for the end of time. I was damn near in tears from laughing. 😂❤

[@Roller-Ball]

Just wanted to thank you.................. You don't know how many people don't understand the song. They just bob their head and never listen to the words.

[@mattb.1357]

your reviews are always great

[@joeerrington6657]

I love your reactions on this channel Bisscute

[@EverendeverGroup]

The baseball metaphor was classic.

[@johndbrandhorst4434]

It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better that it is today🎸🎶

[@Logan-ed4pu]

You during the switch up at 5:14 had me literally laughing out loud. That was hilarious. My ex-fiance and I used to duet this song on karaoke night as we were both big fans. Watching have so much fun with this song was heartwarming. I also suggest checking out Bat out of Hell, You Took the Words Right out of my Mouth, and Two out of Three Ain't Bad.

[@davidramrut5002]

Biss, love your dance moves at 8:27 in this video. Your as much fun watching as the video!

[@user-uh3nn9sm1j]

Such a fun song and full of frustration memories!😖😖

[@jeffbell7530]

Just loved your reaction!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you

[@Filboid2000]

"Rock" is basically a short way of saying "Rock and Roll": they are the same thing. 😉

[@naosmo]

Ahh...fond memories of my high school "twig and blue berry daze"
