Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light (REACTION) with my wife

[@thomasripley1548]

You have to see them sing it live, for video. Its basically musical theater.

[@richg0404]

And the good thing about the live on stage performance is that you still get to hear the studio version (same s this one)

[@mardymonkey]

Hands up who always catches themselves smiling while watching these two... 😀

[@RoadDoug]

@@mardymonkey guilty!

[@konradkanuckle5920]

Just sent this to my wife as " the cute couple " ....

[@cspringer333]

NOOOOO!!!!!! You have to watch the video! It is one of the funniest things you'll see on youtube.

[@Gira21Gramos]

Yeah I'm debating whether even to watch this! The video makes it so much more amazing!

[@keithcarper8809]

I think this version is the best for them. The speed of the lyrics and the play by play section might be difficult if English is not your first language.

[@jrepka01]

I usually hate videos on reaction channels because it's easy for the reactors to fall into the trap of reacting to the video rather than the song. Performance videos are exceptions to this rule, but I can see why lyric videos would be helpful (I've seen some non-american reactors get lost in the whole baseball/sex metaphor). All of that said, I would advise them to watch the video, on their own, to see how much of a performance is going on here beyond the lyrics. It is legitimately musical theater, and very well done, to see the two singers act out the song and react to one another here.

[@keithcarper8809]

@jrepka01 I agree that the video is a must-see. Maybe even The Rocky Horror Picture Show!😄

[@Lovelee123]

Came to the comments to say just this. Hope they watch the performance for enjoyment and to see that she also was praying for the end of time.

[@tuffymoon3702]

Why for a second did I think I might be disappointed that this wasn't the theatrical stage version? This was not disappointing at all! You two are great! I love the way you appreciate a song! 😊❤

[@ronreynolds1610]

yes ,the live version goes to a higher level of entertainment ....

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you...glad you enjoyed it 😀💚

[@wadehines9971]

Meatloaf is a performer and has to be watched as well as listened to. And for this specific song, he put on a visual opera.

[@MBighk]

Both Meat Loaf and Ellen Foley came from musical theater, so both were familiar and skilled at delivering that "larger than life" vibe. Lyricist Jim Steinmann's motto was "Too much is never enough."

[@gavinparry5426]

The wonderful female voice of ELLEN FOLEY

[@Watchman70]

She was so hot too! 🤤

[@paulmellette8925]

Ellen Foley did indeed sing the song, but if you watch the music video it is Karla DeVito who very convincingly lip-sync's the part due to Ellen being unable to tour after landing a role on the television show Night Court!

[@robertkern9911]

@@paulmellette8925 I remember watching a reactot who's a vocal coach describing how wonderful Karla was using her mouth breathing and vocal chords not realizing she was lip syncing

[@markhellman-pn3hn]

(fun fact) the baseball radio announcer was a REAL baseball radio announcer !! ... his name was Phil Rizzuto, & he did the radio for the New York Yankees in the 70s

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for the info 😊

[@salsonny]

It's about an older couple looking back on their first time, :" I remember little everything as if it happened only yesterday " .." it Was long ago and it was far away........."

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Did you figure that out on your own? lol

[@stefanstock953]

@salsonny "...oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway Then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror May appear closer than they are."

[@joybowen6553]

The genius of Jim Steinman (the writer). He is an amazing writer. He wrote most of Meatloaf's songs. Check out his album Bad for Good. They both started out in the theater as writer and preformer.

[@pepelemoko2820]

Your reactions are a thing of beauty. Your humanity shines into the camera and out the other side. I think you are both very lovely. I send vibrations on the wind from my bonnie Scotland X

[@GS-xt8fu]

The video is back in 75…it’s a live on stage performance. Let me tell you something thats very true… There are a lot of people who will say this guy was nice etc when remembering someone.in his case? We lost a very special man. He was a genuine soul and he was so very kind and when we saw him in the lobby of the hotel for a concert and we were all saying hey , hi, how are you? Sometimes they don’t want to be bothered and he come over and spent three minutes talking to us. I could tell he was tired When your entire band and the crew, are devastated and say he was the best person to work with. He was so kind and generous and ate with us, etc That says a lot. If you ever watched him interview, he was a good soul. On stage, it was a theater production for him as he was classically trained, and did perform in theater movies….. off stage of very soft-spoken kind man He loved opera and string orchestras and you can hear it in his music

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for sharing 😊 Much love to you 💚

[@metracy42]

You two have brightened my really awful day 🤣🤣🤣 you have to watch the video, but I’m glad you did the lyric video first. Xx

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Oh, thank you ☺️ Sending much love from the both of us 💚

[@grahamhay8989]

Most enjoyable genuine reactors on KZbin by a million miles…bring a smile to my face every time

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for your kind words 💚

[@MoncurElectric]

LOL, great reaction, guys. Your expressions as the story unfolded were hilarious.

[@evelynhoard2845]

Great reaction! I loved it when it clicked..."OH..paradise by the dashboard light..."

[@user-jw9kx4of5v]

I first heard this whole .the eighties, and I loved it and laughed. It still makes me laugh, sometimes out loud!!!!. Incredible storytelling. Incredible singing and talent from them both. Never ever be anything like this again. Please keep going through the album. Xx

[@Jude_196]

OMG - SOOOOOOOOOO NEED THE VIDEO for this one!! LOVE THIS SONG!!! With the video - you'll understand our lil' bit of shock when this song came out!! :D :D :D :D :D :D LAUGHED OUR TAILS OFF!!! HUGS, YA"LL!!!

[@johnruffner4532]

Meatloaf one of the best... You got to watch the video...

[@lynnecurrie7561]

The video is a MUST watch!!

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

After hearing the song and reading the lyrics, you now know what the song is about, now you really have to watch the official video to complete your experience, you won't regret it.

[@Jude_196]

THIS was such a GREAT REACTION, YOU-TWO!! I was LAUGHING, SO HARD, I couldn't SIT UP IN MY CHAIR!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤❤

[@1903Zippy]

For Meat Loaf you have Jim Steinmann to thank. A brilliant songwriter. Both gone now. RIP both.

[@titaneyes1]

By far, my favorite reaction by you two. Thank you for making me smile

[@Ian-re9kd]

'For Crying Out Load' by Meatloaf is possibly one of the greatest love songs to be heard. I think you guys would love it! Thanks again for a wonderful reaction!

[@ralphwatts8993]

Smell the flowers!!!!! Perfect!❤️❤️🤘🏻

[@Lovelee123]

Great reaction from you both. Can tell you’re an honest man by your reaction. When you were shouting say yes! I was in stitches knowing what was coming 😂

[@Gashouse69]

You really should watch the live in concert version. You would love it!

[@salmuscles]

Hi guys … the baseball call is by the late great yankee Phil rizutto…

Jim Steinman the genius behind this album.

They BOTH want the End of Time to come, not only him. Now you should watch the video for this, it will make you blush.

[@MikeInMD1961]

Once again, thanks for your honest, sincere reactions. When I saw the song you chose, I thought "Uh oh. They're going to like this one." Thanks guys!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We did! So much 😍

No!!! You have to watch the video. It is an experience that you can't miss! 😮😊 You guys give me so much joy! Thank you for your reactions.

I thoroughly enjoy y'alls sincere reactions, Yes, you need to see the theatrical version, but you can still see your enjoyment. Thank You!

[@dow311]

Your reaction is excellent. I didn’t get all this the first time I heard this song. Now you need to see the video, you both will like it. I mean you both will love the video.

Will you two adopt me. You had me in tears with laughter the entire reaction. You can pick me up after you two go for that little drive!😉😉

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We are actually looking for someone to adopt us 🤣 Much love all the way from Romania 💚

[@perfectq7206]

I really enjoyed this reaction with only the lyrics to allow them to formulate their own scene and situation in their heads. The doowop beginning is when they were young, the 70's "spicy" song was the act and the end was them as adults not standing each other trapped in a relationship. Excellent storytelling.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Agreed 👍... thank you 😊

[@pancentricism]

First time I've seen a reactor understand exactly what "Let me sleep on it" means! Brilliant.

[@doughaviland1729]

YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DO THE VIDEO OF THIS! IT IS EPIC!😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@joyceharkin3641]

Guys, you really need to watch the video! They act this out and their facial expressions are just fabulous. it's visually so interesting and funny. It adds a lot to the music. So theatrical and over the top!

So glad to hear that ☺️

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

“Let’s go for a ride.” LOL :-D ABSOLUTELY you two go for a ride! This song illustrates that moment of youth. Recapture your youth and have fun. :-)

[@ausmarkb]

I’ve watched thousands of reaction videos over the last few years including several to this song but I don’t remember enjoying any nearly as much as this. It’s a great song but you two had me grinning and chuckling all the way through.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow, thank you! Awesome 👍💚

[@cottagewitch]

I love you two so much!!!!! This reaction was perfect. I've been laughing my head off watching. Love love love! ♥

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️💚

[@attaboy95425]

I loved your reaction you two are so real. So the story goes that Meat Loaf and Jim Steinmann approached Todd Rundgren to produce their album. They said they had the backing of a major record label. Todd said he would then the label pulled out of the deal. Todd believed in the album so much he paid for everything the studio time, the musicians everything. He also brought in he's girlfriend actress, singer Ellen Foley. and played Guitar ,Bass, and sang on the backing tracks. You really need dive in deeper into Todd Rundgren. One of the greatest songwriters of our time.

[@williamcabell142]

What a great performance! Teenage anxious! 😎🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸

[@WooBino.]

I knew this song would get great reactions. I'm still glad I choose the lyric video, it allows you to follow the story and concentrate on the music.🗽🗽🙂🙂🎼🎼🎸🎸

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you kindly once again 😊 We had so much fun listening to it 😃💚

[@keithcarper8809]

A wonderful reaction to an amazing song. So well written, performed and produced. The music and background vocals are perfect for the story. Every time you paused, I smiled. I knew what was ahead. 😆 ☮💜🎶 (Enjoy the drive)

Thank you 😍

[@vincentspadafora433]

You two are absolutely priceless. I get such joy watching your reactions. God bless. Oh yeah, you should checkout the video version, you’ll love it.

We will! Many thanks 👍💚

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Epic reaction, mouths dropped at the same time, laughs and nods! ....so much fun! ❤😂

[@taniaPBear]

This was such a trip. I'm actually glad you did a lyric version, you can watch the stage version in your own time later if you like, but for a first listen, you need to get all the lyrics, just my opinion of course. I laughed so hard watching this reaction, thank you. ✌❤

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@xJRx77]

saw the tail end of the tour for this album, and the entire audience was on their feet almost the whole night!

[@RayDavies-zv5ic]

Absolutely brilliant reaction from you two. You entertained me royally. As others have mentioned, if you had watched the video for this you would probably fallen off your chairs laughing. It is also absolutely brilliant.

[@mondeoman1954]

I love the fact that Dominica seemed to 'get' the meaning and nuances of this song before Andre. We played the whole iconic 'Bat Out of Hell' album endlessly when it first appeard, all classic tracks. Meatloaf had a theatrical background and Jim Steinman was the perfect songwriter for him.

[@bpfromowc]

I feel so privileged to have seen the great man live in concert (in Belfast). (For me) his best song is "For Crying Out Loud". Great reaction guys. Thanks. 🙂🕊️

[@bryanhickey7317]

The video is amazing! It's a lot of fun to watch!

[@BrunoBridges]

Great and hilarious reaction...😂

[@jdh6677]

I had to rewatch this one. 😂 The two of you are so much fun! Dominika, when you explain the baseball metaphor, I thought Andre understood but then it hits him at the end. 😂❤ I love the fact that it's obvious that both of you enjoy reacting equally and one isn't dragging the other along. You play so well off of each other and it's a joy to watch. ❤

[@stephenclark3774]

You guys are amazing and more importantly genuine! What an enthusiastic review - Loved it!

[@jenniferworley7115]

Absolutely love you both so much. Always have so much fun watching your reactions. ✌🤗

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you so much 😁

[@Jonni1027]

I’m SOOO glad that you did NOT watch the performance video of this song first… because the record is so beautifully produced (courtesy of musician/producer extraordinaire Todd Rundgren) and with such vivid imagery as it is without the video…and after the first listen then, sure, watch the performance video😊❤

[@shirleynewman8483]

Oh, please watch the video!!it's a trip

[@danoliver2817]

LOL..... LOVED YOUR REACTIONS!!!

[@festidious2644]

It looks like you two got your fill of excitement with this one. There are so many great songs on this album but I think the nicest one is the last song, For Crying Out Loud. I think you would also love it. The girl singing here is Ellen Foley and she had a hit song with We Belong To The Night which was pretty good.

[@alanshepherd4304]

The whole album is brilliant, certainly an album of its time, I play it probably once a year and always enjoy it!!😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Coolrockndad]

OMG >>> THE VIDEO IS A MUST!!!!

[@colinstevens2691]

Every song on the Bat out of hell album is an absolute masterpiece. Brilliantly sung by meat loaf, brilliantly written by Jim Steinman

[@user-km9uk2qc5b]

[@karenglenn6707]

Me too! Still remember all of the lyrics! The album was huge in Australia!! Still have my cassette from back in the day.

[@Lovelee123]

Think perhaps you need a bit of age to really appreciate it 😂

[@yourwinefamily1939]

The voice of the baseball game is the legendary NY Yankees Announcer: Phil Rizzuto. Phil was also a great shortstop for the Yankees in the 1940s, and an MVP of the leadue as well. It was great they got him to do this, and he mentioned the song several times on TV while he was announcing the NY Yankee games. Great Time!

[@cheewooleong5066]

apparently, Meatloaf didn't tell Phil Rizzuto the reason he was recording this baseball play-by-play, because taken out of the context of the song/story the baseball game is entirely plausible; then Rizzuto found out when he heard the song on the radio, but he didn't begrudge Meatloaf for having kept him in the dark about the purpose

[@brucedillinger9448]

RIP MEATLOAF! ♥

[@johnbarkdull5885]

The live version is really great.

[@DougCates-z6v]

So FUNNY! Watching two people who don't understand baseball that well trying to understand this. The car culture and dating in America is a huge thing. There are so many "Lover's Lanes" in the U.S. I grew up playing both games very well but not without sincerity. The Baseball announcer was a famous one from the age of radio, I believe Phil Risutto, from the NY Yankees' but I could wrong. What a Scream! ( a treat )! Y'all are so funny!

[@skevich1]

Now that you've had a chance to see the lyrics and hear the story, you have got to watch the theatrical video version of this song. You will love it.

[@tinagriggs1004]

This was a fun reaction! Meatloaf was a special music beast. I was a 13 when this came out. I knew what they were talking about, lol. He always had such a variety of music. RIP Meatloaf! ❤❤

[@NickBrown-ph6xd]

You really, really, really need to react to the live version of this!!!! Meatloaf, Pink Floyd, Queen, Springsteen are the GOATs of live performances. Greatest period of music EVER!!!!!

[@Tbirdhaynes]

His approach was to create cohesive albums that told a story that was more in the style of Broadway than straight rock.

[@somthingbrutal]

you guys should really checkout the official video for this one its so much fun

[@poppad331]

That is the funniest line I've ever heard on a reaction video... when Dominica said "he wants to sleep on it but he also wants to smell the flower " 😂😂😂 I was crying with laughter. Love you guys, you are funny, smart and very entertaining. Also your love for each other is beautiful to see

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you so much! We had so much fun listening to this one 😁

[@johnathanstruble1064]

So very glad you did studio version, with lyrics, first... So hopefully later on by popular demand , you can react to Live version...it is epic, like seeing a rock n roll Broadway show, ..❤♥️✌️

[@Dougwarren69]

Guys, I was having a really challenging day today. And then you guys came into my feed as always, which brought a smile to my face. But not as much as the reaction itself. I've seen so many react to this one, but you guys are just as cool as the other side of my pillow. If I could hang out with two people out of the 8 billion plus, it would be you two. Thanks for that one! Cheers from Toronto Canada. 🤘🎧☮️

“Smell the flower “ hahaha, love it. I call it a sunflower lol

[@longfootbuddy]

they took this original audio of the song, and put it to the video of a live performance, is what people are talking about wishing you did.. but the actual audio to that live performance isnt as good as the original audio.. which this is.. which is why they put this audio to the live performance video.. heheh
