I’m also a retro granny. I’ve watched this song being reacted to by younger people, who were absolutely shocked by it. How is it that young people have become more puritanical than us old ladies?
It's because you've been there and done that, and the birds and bees are nothing new. For a 17 year old it is a different story! It is all still theoretical at that age and to see it played out almost in Technocolour is rather revelatory. Thus their bulging eyes and head turning double takes. Much as I disapprove of illicit teenage sex, this is a funny story with top notch musicianship!
And younger people don't know what parking by the lake with no other cars means. (Front Bench seats are gone), nor what the bases meant in teenage makeouts.
It’s refreshing when somebody listening to this song actually understands the lyrics and the baseball reference! And you are absolutely correct - Meat Loaf is an incredible singer and actor.
@@1983simi Meatloaf was a “baby boomer” like us Grannies and not to brag…..BUT……we’re one of the strongest generations ever. We’ve seen and lived through some AMAZING situations and while we’re old, we’re still standing. 💖
Hi Retro Grannies I have watched a few reactions to this song mostly by these young apparently open minded reactors that get shocked and embarrassed during the baseball/kissing part. I think your reaction shows us older people might actually be the open minded one's
I think you could be right, Steven. Always analyze before you criticize. The baseball scene was an amazing parable to what actually going on by the dash board lights. I just love everything about this video.Like I said during the video, this is so 17. Are we the only ones who remember those days? Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I have noticed that a lot of the young people are confused by the title of this song. I'm an old geezer, no grandchildren yet, but MEATLOAF is my generation so here's the historical context for the younger people: THE TITLE EXPLAINED BY AN OLD GEEZER: Back in the day a young man would often install several red lights underneath the dash on the passenger side of the front seat. Upon arriving at Lover's Lane, the lights would be turned on to accent the young lady's legs etc. in a soft red glow. This was the reason some of the young ladies would wear a dress on a "hot date" (which was a date with more then dinner and a movie). The higher the skirt went, the closer they were to, well, Paradise. The red glow of the lights just added to the moment. This is the "dashboard light" referred to in the song's title. Again, for the younger people - bench seats were more common then the bucket seats we have in today's cars. No need go get into the back seat. Lucky us!
The video footage is from a live concert. The sound though, is from the album. This leads to a discrepancy since the album had Ellen Foley (Billie Young, the lawyer from Night Court) singing lead female vocals but due to a prior commitment (likely having to act in Night Court), she could not appear on the road tour. So Karl DeVito sang on the tour. Both are excellent singers and have similar styles so the match up is pretty good. The songs were written by Jim Steinman who also plays piano in the video.
Thank you Bill for all of that super interesting info. This is such fun song. I think it’s my favorite that we’ve done so far here on our new channel. Pure rock & roll and I LOVE rock & roll. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻💖🎶🤟🏻
The conflict was that Ellen had the lead in the Broadway production of Hair at that time. Silly side note, her solo career put her in London back stage with a VERY confused Joe Strummer, supposedly leading him to craft 'Should I stay or Should I Go?'
Not bad for a 45-year-old song. Every teenager from then to the future will relate to this song. Jim Steinman was a genius, and Meat Loaf was theatrical and talented.
But recall at the time of this song, those of us in high school could afford to just lay down cash for a car and drive off. I don't know how easy that is today, to get your own car. We all used to go to the drive in and block out an area for a party back then.
I loved your reactions ladies and I was happy to see that you two understood the lyrics unlike so many young reactors. Being a granny myself, it's nice to see some older people getting into the game.
Rest Easy Meatloaf... definitely underrated! This came out at the time when I was a teenager and we loved it! What a time for music. There was no one like him.
My favourite artist is Meat Loaf and it's all down to him just being himself no one can ever touch his originality. Him and Steinman together brilliant.
@@nanaking9560 this song has it all in my opinion, great performers, groovy music and a hilarious yet quite relatable narrative that makes you smile... his facial expressions at times when his female counterpart is putting him on the spot is priceless! Love your channel, you two ARE the two coolest grandmas to grace YT !!! :)
I was surprised that you nice ladies weren't familiar with this song, given it was a huge hit on its debut in the mid-1970's, but I'm SO glad you liked it! Yes, it IS fun, isn't it! 😊
Both my sibling and I were teens when this came out. Although I was a big fan of Meat Loaf (& actually bought the LP weeks after it was released), my sibling didn't have any idea who he was. Sibling was into Seals & Crofts, Andy Gibb, ect. Stuff that was quite "soft & mellow". I was more into this, Styx, KISS, & Boston. So I can understand why these ladies might not be overly familiar with Meat Loaf.😎
Great song selection! I've been a Meat Loaf fan for a long time. The woman in the video is Karla DeVito who is actually lip syncing to Ellen Foley's singing.
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 has many movie appearances over the years. Including but not limited to "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Fight Club". Btw they were BOTH regretting their commitment to each other. Sadly, we lost Jim and Meat within a few months of each other 😇😇 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
I’m so glad it brought back fun memories. I think this song it’s absolutely awesome. Meatloaf is absolutely awesome too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
Love you both. You should have a picture of you both back in those days in the background. You haven't always been grannies!!! I'm a granny too. BUT I haven't always been!
This is an absolute classic hit by one of the greatest retro bands of all time. This song just soothes my soul. Such a great choice and song by the grannies.
Rock Opera. Brought to you by Jim Steinman.The man who wrote and produced Meat Loaf's music and a host of others.. To see / hear more do a search on what all he has done and share your reactions to those songs
Thanks Fernando for your kind words. Maybe the next generations coming up will recognize Meatloaf’s greatest like we did. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
A great Granny here. I just cracked up at this video . Wow brought back those lines of yesteryear. Just finding Meatloaf he came out after I was married. It is fun to watch people I have heard of and never seen.
The gal in the video was not the singer on the record. That was Ellen Foley You may remember her as Billie Young from the TV show Night Court. Carla DeVito, in the video was the touring vocalist.
Ellen Foley is the singer on the record. Karla De Vito is the girl in the video. Listen to Ellen's My Shuttered Palace: We're For The Night and How Glad I am. My favourite song from the Bat Out Of Hell albumis For Crying Out Loud. Jim Steinman remarked "That's my voice!" when he saw Meatloaf playing Eddie in the Rocky Horror Show.
What I love about you 2 is you weren't trying to figure out what the baseball talk meant. You knew! I have not seen another reaction video like yours. I am now subscribed.
100% teenage mindset. We were all young and deeply in lust at one time. I had this album in a cassette player, and would listen to it every night through head phones to fall asleep to. There used to a medic back stage when Meat was on tour, he's put stupendous amounts of effort into his act, that he would nip off stage a time or two to have a quick blast of oxegen to keep him going. The next song in the sequence is "2 out of 3 ain't bad". And that one finished the story. It's love a love/hate thing with me, for Meatloaf. Sometime I've been blown away, and other times the same song did nothing, but have me praying for the end of time, to get it over with. It was a brilliant song writer "Jim Steinman" who penned the Bat out of hell album, and he found that only Meatloaf could keep up with the pace of the music, and deliver the lyrics with enough conviction the make them believable. It's fantastic to revisit these good old songs again.
We’re so glad this has happy memories for you. We’re hoping that is what most people get out of this channel. Thanks for your support Graham and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
This was the karaoke pick for my ex and I. Her opera training blended with my theatre training so well with this song, we would just go to town and perform our hearts out every time. P.S. for a great defense of Rock check out Dee Snider congress.
I grew up with the music and heard the song as a 15-year-old German teenager when it came out. To date I have never married because I have never sat in a car🤣. I liked your reaction and this song.
You know we actually did that song on our other channel, Two Rocking Grannies, before we started this channel. Check it out. It’s a masterpiece. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻💕🎶🤟🏻
the way i take this song they are thinking back to the start of their relationship remanacing how good it started off .its starts with i remember every little thing like it only happened yesterday.... the young romance started but more than likely too young to be in that kind of relationship they both have vows that they will not break but are just hating eachother after im guessing several years together and they really only have that day when they made those vows to be together to the end of time seered in their minds as they argue the end of time wont come quick enough.its how i take this song and i know its just a song but it has a story to it too
So fun to watch! I went to high school with her (Karla DeVito). She was lip synching this. Ellen Foley recorded this video version, but Karla did a great job with it
Young reactors watching the baseball make out session and expressing obvious shock and disbelief at what they're seeing and hearing with their mouths gaping open Retro granies watching the same thing and not even batting an eye as if everything is perfectly normal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of all the videos we’ve done on this channel so far, and I know there’s only a few, but this is my absolute favorite. It’s just so darn much fun. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
Michael Lee Aday better known as Meat Loaf, is an American singer and actor. He is noted for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows. The entire "Bat out of Hell" album is a great listen.
Thanks for the info Michael. We think Meatloaf is phenomenal and extremely underrated for the enormous talent he does have. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I’m so glad I found your channel..!!! I love your reaction. I heard the sad news a few minutes ago that today we lost Meatloaf. Another musical legend gone…but never forgotten.
As a grandfather I was that kid parking looking at paradise by the dashboard light. A few times man I miss my youth but it's ok I have 4 great kids and 11 wonderful grandchildren
Thanks Karen for joining our new channel and welcome. This channel is moving slowly, but it is growing and we’re having a ball doing it. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻💖🤟🏻🎶
*JIM STEINMAN IS A GENIUS* He wrote this song and many others The lady in the video is Karla DeVito (no relation to Danny) and she is lip-synching to studio vocals by Ellen Foley of Night Court fame The male backup singer is Rory Dodd an amazing singer in his own right
Her name is Karla DeVito she is actually married to Robby Benson the actor she did not sing on this album the girl on night Court. Markie Post but the one before her actually was the singer on this album
I really enjoyed your reaction and Paradise by the Dashboard Light 😂 Meatloaf started out as a Theatrical Actor along with singer Ellen Foley,...who was NOT in the video, the woman was lip syncing and is also an actor...Meatloaf has been in movies such as Fight Club with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton 👍 Just some fun facts 🙂👌
Hey Grannie's it's about time u took the classic retro route!! ha Best music ever by far!! This channel will take off just like every other reactor who's gone down that classic rock rabbit hole!! good luck
Thank you so much Willie. We hope everyone will enjoy our retro channel. There’s just some fabulous music here in this time frame. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I had this album in the 70's and wore out at least two copies of it! What memories, and meatloaf has always been one of my favorite singers. Great reaction ladies.
I LOVED Meatloaf. I saw him in concert, and it was the best time I ever had! Not only was he a great musician, he was SO dramatic when he sang. The lady that sang with him was incredible!! What a team they made! What memories to cherish. :)
The girl in the film clip is not the girl who backs Meatloaf on this album. She was a model used to film. The vocals are performed by American Vocalist Ellen Foley. As she was Recording her own album when the Video was shot, she was unavailable for filming. So they just got this girl in & dubbed Ellen's vocals.
I miss Meat...he was absolutely brilliant. You don't know what you've got 'til its gone...sigh. The singer on the video is Karla DeVito...but the actual singer on the album was Ellen Foley. Karla sang on the tour. She is also a wonderful singer.
I have been looking so forward to this channel. I know it's going to grow fast. This is on of my all time favorites. I'm a huge Meatloaf fan. I still have this album in my massive collection. Rock on ladies. Love you bunches.
Just discovered your channel. Kudos to you ladies for starting your own channel. Reaction channels are all over CZcams, but you two rock it out with the best of them.
Thank you sooooo much babies. This, however, is actually our second channel. While this one is pretty much just getting started, our first channel has been up 16 months now. That one is called Two Rocking Grannies and we react to metal and rock music. We’d love to invite you to check out Two Rocking Grannies too and thanks for giving Two Retro Grannies a look too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
I actually used to play Eddie in R.H.P.S. I ended up having other obligations eventually, so I gifted my 'Baby' Jacket to the young man who replaced me. 20 years later, It's a part of the show; and I can see it every time I go. That's my Meatloaf story. Hell of a life for a leather.
You two are so much fun! You will be forever young!! I'm somewhere in your age range, certainly older, and I still feel like I'm in my twenties because of music!! You've earned another subscriber because you're simply so honest and your spirits shine. Thanks for sharing your love of music.
I love Meat Loaf. BOOH came out right before I turned 17. I had met my one and only that summer. Oh the memories! We were together 41 years, married 40. He went home to Father on 10/29/18. 😭. Miss him so much. Hey how about my other faves, the Bee Gees? So many great songs. How about we start with Fanny Be Tender With My Love? Please. 🥰
What a beautiful story, Lilly. 41 years. So sorry for your loss. Thanks for your suggestions and we’ll try to see what we can do sometime soon. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
3 things: 1. "Let me sleep on it" was actually him asking to complete the sexual act, her 'nonny' being the "It" that he wanted to sleep on/in/with. A 17yr-old boy stopped at that crucial moment will push him to a frenzy, which is why he kept pressing her, getting angry with the frustration he felt ('Give me this NOW; I'll tell you later whether maybe we have a future...'). 2. The doo-wops earlier in the song, they were actually "O0h! Stop-stop! Ooh! Stop-stop!" 3. The story was a reminiscence of the night she exacted a vow to marry from the guy ("I remember every little thing, As if it happened only yesterday"). After telling the tale, the scene returns to the couple 15 years give or take later ("I'll never break my promise or forget my vow"; and "It was long ago and it was far away , And it was so much better that it is today").
I’m also a retro granny. I’ve watched this song being reacted to by younger people, who were absolutely shocked by it. How is it that young people have become more puritanical than us old ladies?
It's because you've been there and done that, and the birds and bees are nothing new. For a 17 year old it is a different story! It is all still theoretical at that age and to see it played out almost in Technocolour is rather revelatory. Thus their bulging eyes and head turning double takes. Much as I disapprove of illicit teenage sex, this is a funny story with top notch musicianship!
And younger people don't know what parking by the lake with no other cars means. (Front Bench seats are gone), nor what the bases meant in teenage makeouts.
Me too!
How can old ladies discover this? In 1977, you had to be deaf to not notice it.
It’s refreshing when somebody listening to this song actually understands the lyrics and the baseball reference! And you are absolutely correct - Meat Loaf is an incredible singer and actor.
You’re absolutely correct Sarah…..Meatloaf is an amazing entertainer. Glad you enjoyed this one because we loved it. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I've laughed at the younger reactors that have no clue what trying to get into second base meant back in the 70's.
they haven't always been old
they are about his age so they get the cultural references/lingo of the times with greater ease of course than some random 20 year old :)
@@1983simi Meatloaf was a “baby boomer” like us Grannies and not to brag…..BUT……we’re one of the strongest generations ever. We’ve seen and lived through some AMAZING situations and while we’re old, we’re still standing. 💖
As was said in another reaction video, "They just went through a whole ten year relationship in eight minutes!" LOL
Hi Retro Grannies
I have watched a few reactions to this song mostly by these young apparently open minded reactors that get shocked and embarrassed during the baseball/kissing part.
I think your reaction shows us older people might actually be the open minded one's
I think you could be right, Steven. Always analyze before you criticize. The baseball scene was an amazing parable to what actually going on by the dash board lights. I just love everything about this video.Like I said during the video, this is so 17. Are we the only ones who remember those days? Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I have noticed that a lot of the young people are confused by the title of this song. I'm an old geezer, no grandchildren yet, but MEATLOAF is my generation so here's the historical context for the younger people:
THE TITLE EXPLAINED BY AN OLD GEEZER: Back in the day a young man would often install several red lights underneath the dash on the passenger side of the front seat. Upon arriving at Lover's Lane, the lights would be turned on to accent the young lady's legs etc. in a soft red glow. This was the reason some of the young ladies would wear a dress on a "hot date" (which was a date with more then dinner and a movie). The higher the skirt went, the closer they were to, well, Paradise. The red glow of the lights just added to the moment. This is the "dashboard light" referred to in the song's title. Again, for the younger people - bench seats were more common then the bucket seats we have in today's cars. No need go get into the back seat. Lucky us!
R.I.P. MEATLOAF. I'M so sad my all time favourite male singer has passed onto the Angel's in Heaven

This actually is not live.
The conflict was that Ellen had the lead in the Broadway production of Hair at that time. Silly side note, her solo career put her in London back stage with a VERY confused Joe Strummer, supposedly leading him to craft 'Should I stay or Should I Go?'
A lot of young people today probably can’t identify with this song at all. I have a feeling these grannies lived through it.
You get it Robert…..you totally get it. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻

Good memories, playing Meatloaf on the Juke Box while playing pool or pinball..
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 has many movie appearances over the years. Including but not limited to "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Fight Club".
Btw they were BOTH regretting their commitment to each other.
Sadly, we lost Jim and Meat within a few months of each other 😇😇
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
1977! Great year for music
Absolutely. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today.
They used to play this at my local roller rink on Saturday nights. This song, as well as the rest of the album brings back many memories.
I’m so glad it brought back fun memories. I think this song it’s absolutely awesome. Meatloaf is absolutely awesome too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻

Thanks for the info babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
As a grandfather I was that kid parking looking at paradise by the dashboard light. A few times man I miss my youth but it's ok I have 4 great kids and 11 wonderful grandchildren
I Love meat loaf and Jim Steinman´s compositions.
They were an unbeatable combination for sure. RIP Jim. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
"OH, he's out" HAHAHA priceless
I love your channel! glad your here! have a great weekend!
Thanks Steven. We’re glad you’re here with us too. Happy Holidays & keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
We've all been there. Am I right ladies.
Meatloaf is the best!! Another great song is 2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad. Its more of a ballad. so glad to see you two doing retro! New sub here! rock on!!!
Thanks Karen for joining our new channel and welcome. This channel is moving slowly, but it is growing and we’re having a ball doing it. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻💖🤟🏻🎶
*JIM STEINMAN IS A GENIUS*
He wrote this song and many others
The lady in the video is Karla DeVito (no relation to Danny) and she is lip-synching to studio vocals by Ellen Foley of Night Court fame
The male backup singer is Rory Dodd an amazing singer in his own right
"He's out". Burst out laughing. Good stuff.
Her name is Karla DeVito she is actually married to Robby Benson the actor she did not sing on this album the girl on night Court. Markie Post but the one before her actually was the singer on this album
I grew up in Philly & every weekend at 12pm at the TLA they would put a full video show on w/Meatloafs songs it was awesome
WOW…..that sounds spectacular. I know I would have loved it. Thanks for sharing your info and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻💖🤟🏻🎶
I really enjoyed your reaction and Paradise by the Dashboard Light 😂
Meatloaf started out as a Theatrical Actor along with singer Ellen Foley,...who was NOT in the video, the woman was lip syncing and is also an actor...Meatloaf has been in movies such as Fight Club with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton 👍
Just some fun facts 🙂👌
Hey Grannie's it's about time u took the classic retro route!! ha Best music ever by far!! This channel will take off just like every other reactor who's gone down that classic rock rabbit hole!! good luck
Thank you so much Willie. We hope everyone will enjoy our retro channel. There’s just some fabulous music here in this time frame. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I had this album in the 70's and wore out at least two copies of it! What memories, and meatloaf has always been one of my favorite singers. Great reaction ladies.
Thanks Cindy. Glad you enjoyed it. This is an awesome song. So “rock n’ roll.” Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🤘🏻🎶
GREAT REACTIONS ROCK ON GRANNIES BLESS BOTH OF YOUR ROCK N ROLL SOULS
Thank you so much Matt for all of your kind comments. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🤘🏻🎶
I LOVED Meatloaf. I saw him in concert, and it was the best time I ever had! Not only was he a great musician, he was SO dramatic when he sang. The lady that sang with him was incredible!! What a team they made! What memories to cherish. :)
The girl in the film clip is not the girl who backs Meatloaf on this album. She was a model used to film. The vocals are performed by American Vocalist Ellen Foley. As she was Recording her own album when the Video was shot, she was unavailable for filming. So they just got this girl in & dubbed Ellen's vocals.
The girl, Karla Devito is dubbed over here by Foley, but Karla did tour with Meatloaf because Ellen was unavailable.
Why can't I upvote this more than once
Not sure what you’re saying babies. Maybe if you can explain a little better. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🤟🏻🎶💖
By the end this brings tears to my eyes!
Eddie from Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! He's incredible
Everything about Meatloaf is incredible in our opinions. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
Good breakdown of the song! Liked the reactions.
Meat Loaf did a song called "Dead Ringer For Love" a duet with Cher. You may like that one too.
I miss Meat...he was absolutely brilliant. You don't know what you've got 'til its gone...sigh. The singer on the video is Karla DeVito...but the actual singer on the album was Ellen Foley. Karla sang on the tour. She is also a wonderful singer.
Karla lipsang on tour to Ellen's voice
I have been looking so forward to this channel. I know it's going to grow fast. This is on of my all time favorites. I'm a huge Meatloaf fan. I still have this album in my massive collection. Rock on ladies. Love you bunches.
Thanks Janet. We’re so glad you enjoyed it. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
Thank you for a great reaction. You are wonderfull follows you on your other channel to.
Thanks so much babies. We appreciate all of your support. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻💖🎶🤟🏻
Grandgrandpa, Musican, German. Touring all over the World. I never got Problems.😁
Cracks me up every time. Especially the double entendre play-by-play.
Love your reaction 💗 Happily joining the Granny Squad
He actually sings with Pavarotti. His voice is very operatic! You should here him singing the national anthem. Absolutely beautiful!
brilliant reaction and brilliant Channel big thumbs up from me
One of my favorite Bands! I am only 36, All i can say is that i was raised right. I love the 50s through 80s music the best
Yes you were raised right. There’s a ton of great music through these decades. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🤟🏻🎶💖
Just discovered your channel. Kudos to you ladies for starting your own channel. Reaction channels are all over CZcams, but you two rock it out with the best of them.
Thank you sooooo much babies. This, however, is actually our second channel. While this one is pretty much just getting started, our first channel has been up 16 months now. That one is called Two Rocking Grannies and we react to metal and rock music. We’d love to invite you to check out Two Rocking Grannies too and thanks for giving Two Retro Grannies a look too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
Rip
❤
They had great humor
Let me sleep on it🤣
The bases😂
You two got the humor
It is so bad that he passed away! He will be missed!
Love this song. The albums Bat out of He'll 1 and 2 are really good
Love this song too Cindy. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
Now, you ladies do know what "paradise" is a euphemism for, right? He can see IT by the light of the dashboard lights.
This is great. Best reaction yet!!
You got a subscriber here and your other channel! I feel like I'm one of you! A granny who loves rock! TY for giving me a new place to hang out!
And yes I've used the line let me sleep on it many times.... i had other people tell me "i gotta know right now"
I actually used to play Eddie in R.H.P.S. I ended up having other obligations eventually, so I gifted my 'Baby' Jacket to the young man who replaced me. 20 years later, It's a part of the show; and I can see it every time I go. That's my Meatloaf story. Hell of a life for a leather.
Thanks for sharing that babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I knew you ladies had started another channel, but I couldn't find it! I'm glad someone in the comments mentioned it. Time to enjoy this one as well.
Thanks Thoma. We’re so happy to have your support. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
You two are so much fun! You will be forever young!! I'm somewhere in your age range, certainly older, and I still feel like I'm in my twenties because of music!! You've earned another subscriber because you're simply so honest and your spirits shine. Thanks for sharing your love of music.
Thanks ladies. I really enjoyed your reaction.
Thank you Mark. We truly enjoyed this one a lot. It’s a great song and an incredible video. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
Great job ladies.
I bet most young did not know what getting past first base meant Meatloaf did
I love Meat Loaf. BOOH came out right before I turned 17. I had met my one and only that summer. Oh the memories! We were together 41 years, married 40. He went home to Father on 10/29/18. 😭. Miss him so much. Hey how about my other faves, the Bee Gees? So many great songs. How about we start with Fanny Be Tender With My Love? Please. 🥰
What a beautiful story, Lilly. 41 years. So sorry for your loss. Thanks for your suggestions and we’ll try to see what we can do sometime soon. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤟🏻💖
3 things:
1. "Let me sleep on it" was actually him asking to complete the sexual act, her 'nonny' being the "It" that he wanted to sleep on/in/with. A 17yr-old boy stopped at that crucial moment will push him to a frenzy, which is why he kept pressing her, getting angry with the frustration he felt ('Give me this NOW; I'll tell you later whether maybe we have a future...').
2. The doo-wops earlier in the song, they were actually "O0h! Stop-stop! Ooh! Stop-stop!"
3. The story was a reminiscence of the night she exacted a vow to marry from the guy ("I remember every little thing,
As if it happened only yesterday"). After telling the tale, the scene returns to the couple 15 years give or take later ("I'll never break my promise or forget my vow"; and "It was long ago and it was far away
, And it was so much better that it is today").
Full circle. Thanks for the lesson in being 17. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶💖🤟🏻
I was married and a Daddy at 17 "swinging 1960's". Didn't have a car so couldn't make a quick getaway. 🎃🇬🇧
you guys seem fun. and... a frank zappa reference! be still, my heart.
These grannies know the deal
