Ho hum… just another eight minute epic from Meat Loaf… nothing out of the ordinary. YEAH RIGHT! And thus, MEAT WEEK CONTINUES!

For today’s dose we’ve got “Paradise By The Dashboard Light.” Be absolutely sure you get to the straight-out-of-nowhere disco break (“We’re gonna go all the way tonight, we’re gonna go all the way tonight”). For those of you who’re impatient, the musical insanity begins at the 3:00 mark.

When the moment hits, it becomes running-red-lights music. Just fucking crank it up louder and throw something heavy out the window. Jesus… It’s time for SPRING! “You don’t understand officer, THIS IS MEAT FUCKING LOAF, YOU GODDAMMN SWINE!”

And by the way, lines like “we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed” take on extra rad when coming from mouth and mind the mighty, crazy-eyed Meat. (You know he let a Volkswagon DRIVE OVER HIS HEAD on a dare?!?)

Then there’s the overdubbed baseball announcer. What? Say What? You know, sometimes it’s best not to question genius… like when the girl wants to bone Meat Loaf and he tells her he’s got to “sleep on it”. Wow. Do you know how much trouble I would get into if I said that to a girl? Are you kidding me?!? I’d be out the door.

Here it is, “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”:
