I am a 77 year old white woman who discovered your channel yesterday . I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions and I especially like the fact that you take the time to research the artists you are listening to. Great Channel.

Every high school dance… girls on one side, guys on the other. “Will you love me forever?” “Let me sleep on it.” Back and forth. 😂😂😂

I didn’t do this in school but we did at my wedding reception! 😂

As soon as I saw this in my feed, I said as soon as he realizes this is a story, he’s going to be 100% invested, and absolutely NOT ready for that plot twist 😂

A rock opera. Meatloaf was the man.

"And so I'm praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you!" So Great! RIP

Meatloaf was a very theatrical performer. He had an amazing voice. I was first introduced to his music because he was in the movie The Rocky Horror Picture show. Which was a musical play that he was in as well that became a musical movie that still plays at midnight all over the world on weekends. His voice never really changed his whole career. He always had an amazing range. Ya great singer, great guy.

Yep, this is it right here. He didn't just sing, he put on a whole theatrical performance.

Meatloaf was the singer, the band is the Neverland Express. Most of the song is an extended memory. It starts out "Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday..." Once the setting is 'in the car', it's solid memories from both of them up until he says "I swore that I would love you til the end of time!" Then it switches to the present where both of them are praying for the end of time to release them from their vows and promises. At a couple points in the song, you can here the line "It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today." They were young and horny, made promises to each other that they turned out to not be able to keep. But even she was remembering the time when they were young as a good time. Some sex-ed teachers have used this song in their classes as an illustration of the hazards of letting your glands do the decision making instead of your brain. Amusingly, Meatloaf's daughter had a teacher like that, and the day the song was used in school, she mentioned it to her father.

Ah, such a great song, & a great performance! Meatloaf is the male singer, & he was also an actor. He had several hits, & his "Bat Out of Hell" album is KILLER! Thanks for your reaction.

Truest love song ever written lol😂

This is a 6 minute snapshot of a 20-something year relationship, we’ve all known that couple, 20 years down the line the hate each other, but they are staying true to the ‘vow’ great reaction, I enjoyed watching your face as each part unfolded, when you said you were getting a disco vibe that cracked me up, I always thought it sounded like porn soundtrack music

When I saw the title you were going to listen to, I started laughing ahead because I could already imagine your face when they'd get serious 😂

My man…of all the reaction video folks…you seem to be the quickest in picking up on things

What fun! Sharing your discovery of this classic made my day. I'm 80 years old, had the album, and saw Meatloaf live 4 times, but this was maybe the best yet. You, my man, have a very infectious way about you, and I will definitely be checking out more of your videos. By the way, while there is never going to be anything to match this song, the rest of his album, "Bat Out of Hell" is wonderful too, without a single clinker. Check it out.

R.I.P. Meatloaf. Love ya.

Meat Loaf is the guy, but you were also introduced to the songwriting genius of Jim Steinman!

The baseball announcer is the great Yankee shortstop and later broadcaster Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto. I grew up listening to him do Yankee broadcasts. Meatloaf was a big baseball fan. He was coaching a kid team up to shortly before he passed away.

1:45 LOL, LITERALLY...when you heat a knife up, the edge glows red...such a great metaphor for young love...both mesmerizing and dangerous...

Not just a song but a show. Meat Loaf isn't the band, it's the man.

"I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is probably my favorite of his songs, definitely worth checking out!

2 outa 3 aint bad.. and Ill do anything for love... also by Meatloaf and absolute classics!!

Meatloaf has been around forever and has had a pretty good career. He was in the cult classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and also “Fight Club” with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.

Meatloaf was Eddie in Rocky horror Picture Show, he acted in other things as well as singing his heart out. Bat Outta Hell is a great album. We miss you Meatloaf.

Omg, I love your reaction to this 😂💖I love this song! RIP I love Meatloaf!💖🙏🏻😇

I was grinning from ear to ear watching you react to this. Thanks for another fun reaction, you rock!! Peace Out!! ✌️

Bat out of Hell was one heck of an album,, the title track is on another level

The Singer is Meat Loaf. Jim Steinman the composer. Together they are unbeatable. You NEED to go down the rabbit hole! Do ecery video from the Bat Out of Hell album. Then I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) He won a Grammy for that one in the 90's

I like the way the Baseball Announcer says "He's sliding in, head first." WTH? ha ha ha

Nothing like the good ol’ days. Nice to see the young fold appreciating the classics..

Meatloaf was his nickname he got in high school . He’s was a legend he was a singer and actor his music was called rock opera.

They were together at work and at home for years. Meat loaf ,Alice Cooper band were the leaders in putting on shows to go with their music. Forcing others to step it up in concert.

loved your reactions! The song came out in 1977, so the 'Elvis vibe' you picked up on was that the memory was in the 1950's. it is a flashback of a 30ish couple, who did it in the backseat, but only after she extracted a promise of marriage! It says a lot that they are still married when they despise each other later--havenn't we all seen marriages similar to that? They probably do love each other but are so annoyed! The most important line is, "I won't break my promise, or forget my vow..." That's why he hasn't just deserted her! This is a fantastic message for the youth of today! one other thing you almost picked up on but missed... The girl, is singing ""ooo shop shop, ooo shop shop, ooo shop shop, ooo shop shop". Back in the day, girls were supposed to wait until marriage, and shop around for the guy who'd be the best lifelong husband-type. That's why his "let me sleep on it" was so cold! She wasn't expecting that--she 90% expected a real 'yes', because she was holding the goods he wanted! Hence, the whole "Suicide Squeeze" bit! :) Did you notice her Victory dance when he was swearing on his mothers grave and making declarations of undying love to her???? hehehe. This is very much like an operatic play, and impossibly well done. oh yeah, he's wearing a tux without the jacket and tie, because they just came from a 1950's high school dance! lol

"2 out of 3 ain't bad" next. "Bat out of hell" and " I'll do anything for love but I won't do that" is a classic as well.

Meatloaf is quite theatrical,yet he also has a soft side too!Give a listen to For Crying Out Loud You Know I Love You,and Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad!

Shon! What a GREAT reaction! Mr. Loaf (RIP) was a great story performer with the amazing Jim Steinman’s music. Meat Loaf is the artist aka Michael Lee Aday, he came to fame as an actor in the musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (the movie). He was extremely theatrical in his music. The entire Bat Out Of Hell album is such and a great album. More songs to react to, Bat Out Of Hell and the reason Meat Loaf became a “safe word” in certain activities … I’ll Do Anything For Love … but I Won’t Do That! LOL Joe

Another great reaction! This whole album is excellent.

Bat out of Hell is one of the best albums ever produced. Not one bad song on the whole album. Jim Steinman wrote all the songs, he also wrote Total eclipse of the hart, making love out of nothing at all, I need a hero, and the entire soundtrack for the movie streets of fire.

The song is about them reminiscing about their first time in the car down by the lake. The first line of the song is "Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday " and the last line is "it was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today." So they've been married for a while and have both fallen out of love with each other and want it to end, but they are staying together and being miserable because they took vows to love each other til the end of time.

Love this video. Love this song. Love this man- Meatloaf is amazing.

Meatloaf is the man. He had it legally changed from Marvin. He started out in the theater, and always brought that stage presence to everything he did. They were not a couple.

Shon, I'm so glad you reacted to this! ! I think I laughed as much as you did 😂

I'm so glad you listened to the lyrics and got the full story. They went from a couple of young kids driven by hormones to an old married couple that can't stand each other anymore. But they won't break up because "I never broke my promise or forgot my vow" And at the end she's singing "it was long ago and far away and it was so much better than it is today"

We use to sing this song in character back in the day. Such a fun song to sing in group/duet

I ‘m 66 and have been listening to this since high school. People used to play it on the juke box in bars, and we girls, would try and start to out sing each other! Great Times! So sad that we lost Meat this year! Losing too many these past few years! It can’t be said enough that we as a generation had some off the best tunes ever in the 60’s and 70’s!

My Dad owned "Bat Out of Hell" on 8 track and vinyl, my older sister then bought the cassette and I eventually had this on CD. Meatloaf is intergenerational! (As a kid, I did not understand the baseball reference.🤭) Awesome reaction, man.

As a teen in the late 70’s this song was so popular and played all the time on the radio. Lots of memories for many people from this song ❤😂

This is my second fav Metaloaf song, I grew up listening to him, and still do all the time

The great thing about reaction videos, when done well, like yours is; that like you, we in the audience once went from - no I don't want any meatloaf right now, I'm not hungry, to - hell, yes this is a fantastic gem of music, such a great journey. And you exemplified that journey wonderfully.

I’ve listened to a ton of reactions to MEAT, but yours has been hands down the best!

I was lucky enough to get front row seats at a live Meatloaf concert and it was an incredible time!! Just his theatrics are amazing. He acts out his songs. Good stuff right there!! 👍🏻👍🏻

A legendary album… Meatloaf is amazing.. he’ll always be on my playlist. Great reaction

This is one of those tunes that could have only happened in the 70’s…wish I could go back 😃

'Life is a lemon' is a really good Meatloaf song that is pretty much forgotten.

This song is a fav. Deliciously dystopian. Steinman tongue in cheek with masterful ML performance.

I live for people's reaction to this 😁. Rock Opera at its finest, really groovy too. I can't telly you how many times me and friends acted this out lol

Jim Steinman is the genius behind the lyrics. He and Meatloaf made incredible music together. If you want to check out Jim's self titled album Bad For Good... Pick any of them and you can't go wrong. I do highly recommend Surf's Up featuring the beautiful contribution of Rory Dodd. Jim didn't sing all the songs. Rory has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. He also features on back up vocals in this song. You can see him with the mo in the background.

That ones a classic. You can honestly say you broaden your horizon.

Unbelievable performer and great song. Bat Out Of Hell is a top 5 album of all time. You should check it out. Cheers!

Oh the parties I sang this at! A duet with a stranger that became a new friend for the night! HAHAHA

RIP Meat Loaf........don'cha' love the baseball metaphor in the song?......also, as noted in the comments, fun fact, Ellen Foley ( an actress in the original "Night Court" TV series ) sang the lead female vocal on the album and occasionally on stage..........her voice was dubbed for Karla here...........

The woman is Karla DeVito and she didn't sing her part. The woman who sang it on the album was Ellen Foley and she starred in the TV series Night Court. When it came time to tour, she couldn't get time off from the show to do the tour so they hired Karla to lip sync Ellen's part. Both did an excellent job. Loved your reaction at each change up! FYI, Jack Black embodied his act after Meat Loaf.

1 - Karla did lip sync in this video, but on tour she definitely sang the part herself. 2- Ellen Foley not going on tour had nothing to do with Night Court - this song and album came out in 1977. Night Court first aired in 1984.

You could have quietly thumbed down his reaction and unsubscribed. Instead, you chose to voice those actions. Curious, huh?

Meatloaf is great! Must do a video of him singing Star Spangle Banner. Incredible. I love how he points to her so everyone focuses on her when he's the big star. Shows his character.

I've seen him sing this live in concert its first class! Just amazing live, so theatrical & they snogged on stage every time I saw him in concert😂 I was always in love with this man and saw him every time he toured ❤

I'm 58 yo grad HS in 1984.....i had this 33rpm vinyl album.....and you're right this is the way those first loves would go.....and we'd go parking in a car in a farmer's field somewhere....and fog up the windows.....

That was a great reaction. So glad you enjoyed it. ❤

Its been 30 years since I’ve seen anyone get invested in this song. It was fun watching your reaction.

Got to see him live and do a meet and greet. One of the best nights for my wife and I.

Hey young man! enjoying ur views so far; as for Meatloaf THAT is his name. Accomplished actor (Rocky Horror Picture Show) and Accomplished musician (pianist), Accomplished Opera Singer....YES! the man was a icon.

My then High School girlfriend and I were in my car listening to this IRL. Everything was the same except we didn't get married so didn't have to deal with that. We're still FB friends. His real name was Marvin Lee Aday.😇 He got his nickname (which was legally changed) by his dad when he played football in High School. He had many movie appearances over the years. Including but not limited to "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Fight Club" and "Wayne's World". This song was written by the late Jim Steinman 😇He also played keyboard on this song. I wish I could have seen them in concert but sadly it never happened. 🙄 I still have the "Bat out of hell" LP BTW they were BOTH regretting their commitment to each other. "It was long ago, and it was far away. So much better than it is today".

check out "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" from the same show 👍

'Bat outta Hell' remains the highest selling first released record of any artist ever. It also sits at number 4 highest selling of all time (Excluding greatest hits compilation albums). There's a reason why...No matter your taste in music everyone loves the Loaf.

I knew you would like this one! Another great story-song, we love those. 💚

Glowing the metal on the edge of a knife. Awesome line. Poetic.

That's not the first time he was comapared to Elvis in a reaction video, I'm glad you loved it, it's a great song, thank you for doing this video

The "LOAF" great performer!!!!

This came out the year I graduated high school, the summer I turned 18. We played this every night in the bar!

Meat is the man, high school days, gave me the courage 😅

I knew you weren't seeing that ending coming! LOL My sister & I have sung this song together in the car for decades. We never get tired of it.

By far the Best reaction I've seen of this song ❤

I've been down a rabbit hole watching reactions to this vid. Yours is easily up there. Awesome reaction. You killed it.

The lead singers name is meatloaf his mother called him that because he loved me love

“You took the words right out of my mouth, it must of been while you were kissing me,,,,,,,,”. Love that song too.

Thing to remember about the doo-wop vibe in the beginning, was because this song came out in the 70’s, but they were in high school in the 50’s. So the part that kind of reminded you of Elvis? Yeah. Nailed it.

Once again, you’ve made me grin ear to ear! I just love ya!

Our song...haha! Married going on 43 years, this is our song...this and Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.....Meatloaf is awesome!

You done it to me again Shon Lol. Bad day at work but your reaction made everything ok again. Keep it up Bruv, Peace from the UK.

Meatloaf was all just him, he was an amazing singer. He just passed I think it was last year, he has tons of hits out there. And the woman singing beside him is actually his wife. :)

The album "bat out of hell" is an evergreen now , but it took him 7 years before hé found a producer who would publice it

Saw Meatloaf in concert amazing like a show in a show! Energy!

MEATLOAF is/was a single person, the guy singing, the lady singing with him is Ellen Foley and the band are guest musicians.

Absolutely LOVING your reaction to this and Meatloaf is a fantastic actor (and stage actor)…. Everything he’s done is great imho. Don’t stop here!

Meatloaf was very theatrical because he started in the theater.

The album this song came off was certified platinum 14 times. They sold over 43 million copies.

While Meatloaf had many albums over the years, he really only had two successful ones. Bat Outta Hell in the 79s, and Bat Outta Hell 2 (Back Into Hell) in the 90s. And the music for both these albums were written by the late Jim Steinman. (RIP) Steinman wrote hits for many artists through the years. Including Air Supply and Bonnie Tyler. His music often had the Broadway musical feel like you hear here.

Shon, I go back to rewatch my favorite reactions you've done. This reaction makes me laugh every time 😂❤

Bat out of hell is a BRILLIANT album, not a single bad track. For quiet Meat Loaf try "Two out of three ain't bad" just a BEAUTIFUL song.

Jim Steinman wrote the song, actually wrote all the songs on the first album. He selected Meat Loaf to sing them because of theatrical presentation. After the album was completed they had a hard time finding anyone to distribute it because it was so different. The album, Bat Our Of Hell, went multigold and is still one of the best selling independently produced albums of all time.

Here's some other songs you can check out Bat out of Hell, Dead ringer for Love, Two out of three aint bad
