Lyrics:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, hold on tight
C'mon, hold on tight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Amazing man, song, and performer. You will be missed. RIP Meatloaf
Just found out this morning. Seems like were losing a lot of the people whose music shaped our lives in the 1970s and even 80s.....RIP
R.I. P
Rip
@@donreinke5863 I was just posting about that. Time is moving too quickly. Needs to slow down. I’m not ready for all of this. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! 🥴
Rip from Ireland 🇮🇪
Who's watching the legendary man in 2024?
and woman
Goddamn it man this shit makes me harder than concrete in a ice storm
Me
Me
Like a bat outta hell I am ❤😂
Why this isn't considered one of greatest rock songs of all time, and why Meatloaf isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are beyond me. What a performance!
Oh dear. He isn't ? That's a travesty.
Just another example of why the Hall is a joke. Meatloaf is a rock legend!
Make a petition so it can be so. I would sign.
Don't forget Ellen. She was magnificent in this.
@@rambleon3698 Touche'!
My wife was the lead singer of a lounge band in the '80s. Several times late in the evening, my wife and myself would cover this. While she had the voice of an angel and I admit I not the best singer but when on that little stage there was no one better in the world. Unfortunately she was taken away from me in an auto accident. Every time I hear this I can feel her right beside with a wide smile and her eyes beaming. God knows I miss her. RIP LeAnna I still love you and miss you every day of life
💞💞🥹😔
So sorry for your loss.
@@radarluv67 thank you
Sorry to hear that. As a musician, I know there's few things in the world that are better than playing a song with your band and just being in total sync throughout the emotion of the song. Nothing quite like it, everyone playing their role to complete the piece.
Dont know you at all but i could see you 2 on that stage
I`m 77, but when I listen to this i`m 25!!!!!!
Rock ON.
🙌good on ya
nice way to put it. I'm a 49 year old man using his wife's tablet and feel like you described if only for around 9: minutes and wearing a shit eating grin thinking of old times drinking, partying, and trying to get to paradise. lol
hell ya good music will have that effect. im only 27 but i love meatloaf
Right on Richard, I'm 70, don't remember too many bright dashboard lights. Who needed them?
Keep on rockin' Richard.
I don't always listen to Meatloaf. But when I do, so do the neighbors.
Hell yeah rock on
Thanks for that comment - made me actually LOL
i dont always listen to meatloaf but when i do i listen will bell pepper and onion
I have had a tough day. Now all is good. Best laugh I've had in days. Thanks man.
so do mine
Today is March 21, 2024 and I'm 49.. I'm listening to this and tearing up because music will never be like this again. I'm thankful for CZcams to let us listen to this music over and over again.
Im 61 and remember when this was released the whole album is one of my all time faves
57 here. Listening right now. These songs are like a time warp for me. Love it!
@@davehendricks9529 I`m 67, neigbours gave me headphones for my 40th birthday. Guess why.
Meatloaf had his peaks. This is one of them.
His troughs ? "It's a Royal Knockout" circa 1986, springs to mind. I won't say any more...
good on you man, I am old and in the way...this song...brings back so many memories - good, bad and REALLY weird (first time I heard it, 1988 at Boston College, my friends were playing their new favorite game - $hitt!ing for distance)...
Story telling at it's finest. No autotune, no electronic drums. Just musicians playing and telling the story of teenage coming of age. Awesome on so many levels.
Can understand the words.
Absolutely true! The memories this brings back of my youth and the crazy, fun I had. I'm a 62 yr old grandma (proud) when I do play music that I grew up with I play it loud and proud! This is what I get "Mom! It's too loud" my response is now you know how I feel when you play your "rap" and the walls and pictures are vibrating. ❤😂❤😂 Thanks Meatloaf for an awesome song!!
Yep, how we lost our virginity and if you were unfortunate enough to get married how you feel right now. Most likely if you haven't killed each other haha
Try ignoring the music, and just listen to the words. The words are what makes this a great song.
While you are ignoring the music, you may notice that the music enhances the words. @@robinmartin9510
@@joannavasquez1220stop right there! I need to know!!
Haha, i wasnt as fortunate in my teenage years, but having left the doorway into adulthood after more than 4 years ago now i can only imagine how much more crazy it must have been for y'all early at the show! Haha
Oh how lives change after all
I hate that it takes someone dying to remember their greatness. This song is a freaking masterpiece. Heard it a thousand times and not only does it not get old….. it gets better each time. RIP.
It doesn't take someone dying. I jammed with my (then) 2 year old to this song a few years ago.
Been listening for years!!!!
And to see him do it live back then was so great 🌟 what a party
Dude, I've been a Meat Loaf fan since I first heard TOTAB back in 1978, as a ten year old boy. Nobody "forgot" about him at all.
We’ll said!
THIS comment deserves every thumbs up in the World.
Rest In Heaven, Meatloaf 🕯🤍
“It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today.”
Good night Meat Loaf. Rest easy, legend.
Indeed
He will be missed.
Awesome quote!!
I agree- excellent use of a quote-
For a lot of us.
I am 62, but when i listen this i am a teenager. It has such a huge impact on my life. RIP meatloaf , i am forever grateful for your songs and you. I still play the CD regularly. Thankyou Meatloaf
I am 81 years old and love this video so much keep watching it every so often
Much younger than you at 70! LOL! Love this music.
Rip Meatloaf. Thank you for making this song part of my life growing up
Senator John Kennedy brought me here. Fox News was asking him a question and before he answered he said, "but first i wanna say something positive Harris.. R.I.P. Meatloaf,, and one of his best songs was Paradise by the dashboard lights and i hope he's in Paradise right now, i think he is." vid is listed below

Indeed so much emotions he could invoke in our 💕s RIP Meatloaf.. "and that's the TRUTH"
@@Jabbing_Jack rock n roll brother
@@Jabbing_Jack Did he mention that Meatloaf died of Covid and refused to be vaccinated? He’d probably still be alive if he hadn’t let politics make his medical decisions.
@@TheRDMagee
My body My choice.
Besides most people know that it takes, 6 to 8years to develop a vaccine.
So, must respect to Meat Loaf!!!!!
I'll see him when I get there .
This is not a song. It's a great theatrical performance, a masterpiece.
It's like Bohemian rhapsody, it's a work of art
Best comment for sure
U got that right!!
@@patpeck2405 it’s crazy you say that, because I’m a musician and have written songs and whenever I think of those two song I always think “how the fuck can you write something like that”. Also as a musician when I listen to music I can’t help but being like oh this song is in whatever key and the chords and melodies and harmonies and why they work, but with those two my brain goes back to pre musician brain, it’s great
Jim Steinman was a genius for writing and composing this album! RIP Jim.
I remember dancing around the house screaming out this song and dancing with my beautiful best friend, my mom. She passed away last April and I miss her more than anything, 😢but listening to this song…I’m dancing with her all over again. I love ❤️ you mom ❤
My Mom is the reason I love Meatloaf as well. Any roadtrip we went on, this album was mandatory! My Mom passed away in 2018.... I played this entire album by her bedside before she passed.... She deserved to go to Heaven with some epic music playing!
Sorry for your loss. ❤. Great memory of you and your mom
xx bless you x
Damn. There are a lot of feels in this thread. RIP.
@@robertburke8353 Good on you...she did!
It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today..... You got that right Meat, RIP.
His music was love.
The MOST underrated singer in rock. Meatloaf kicked SERIOUS ass
Jim Steinman you mean.
Agreed

AND BAT OUT OF HELL SOLD 50 MILLION UNITS
This evening, Meat Loaf is being played loud, very loud, all night long in our house. It is our way of paying tribute to the great Meat Loaf who was one of the very best, and we won't forget him.
Likewise
O and playing drums and guitar in tribute.
Same
Same!
It's deafness for the neighborhood!
These are going to 11 tonight!
Meat 😭😭😭😭
Doing the same right now,,
Where did those days go... at 62.. don't need to remember too hard
Karla Devito is so great with Mr Loaf. Her voice, expressions and stage acting are magnetic.
Couldn't help thinking as I watched this video: this was the pre-boob job era. refreshing.
The voice was Ellen Foley, Karla lip synced it.
@@jameslong7630
What?
She also lip synced Bat out of Hell and right after that left the tour to go on to theater with Andrew Lloyd Webber in the '80s.@@rambleon3698
@@rambleon3698@jameslong7630 is correct. On the Bat Out Of Hell album, Ellen Foley sings all of the female duets, but due to circumstances she didn’t wannna go on tour w/ Meat and so on tour, Karla sings live backup, but lip syncs Ellen’s parts. In BOOH 2 Back in to Hell the female on track Anything For Love was a woman named Ms Loud. In the video, it’s a model again lip synching again. Child of the 70’s, I have memories of listening to BOOH as far back as literally age 3. Love his music! God bless ❤
RIP Meatloaf. Will never forget belting out this song with my friends while driving along in my 1979 black trans am in the 80's. T-top off, wind blowing our long hair while we sang both parts of this iconic song. Those were good days to be in highschool enjoying music like this.
I think we were all doing that back then!! The good old days!!
Amen brother. I was a little behind you in terms of age, but my mom used to blast the Bat Out of Hell album in her car while we travelled to her workplace (during the summer when I was off school). Since then I have blasted this album every chance I get, I love it. RIP.
You paint a wonderfully vivid picture, how we wish we could be back there. His music takes us there. Reminiscing 💕
@@paulaevans8325 same with a Mk2 esort van
Rest In PARADISE

RIP Meatloaf
Keep on rockin’
Amen brother
@@stevemartin1519 what else do you guys listen to? Need some recommandations
I listen, too, and am proud to say I still know all the words and keep up with both parts 😂 💖
61 and still loving this....RIP Meat....
Even better I’m 33 and rocking out! It’s hard being sad with music this good. Let’s not be. Today we will celebrate him as a amazing talented musician. To you Meatloaf!!!! Thank you
This brings me back to being a teenager listening to it on the turntable and my parents telling me to turn it down!! Love Meat!!
Actually, in my house, it was... " Turn down that noise!!!" LOL
RIP Meatloaf. I love this song.
RIP, Meatloaf. You made Rock-N-Roll UNAPOLOGETICALLY FUN!
So very true, Douglas!! Well said!! Great comment!
Seen him "live" in Toronto '77, an awesome, FUN
concert, UNFORGETTABLE!!
RIP Meat Loaf. May you find eternal paradise by heaven's light.
That’s a very lovely take on the song’s’ lyrics to mourn his death. I was going to say something like “God finally answered Meat Loaf’s prayer because now it’s the end of time for him,” but I realized that it was cheesy. I like yours much better!
Amen
Still one of the best tunes out there!!! RIP Meat Loaf! King of the really long tune!!!
This song and performance is straight up dynamite. Perfection.
There will never be anyone like this man. Crazy good music. Paradise by the Dashboard Light is the theme song to a whole generation. RIP
Love it
Yeah when I was young we did everything in our cars.. cop's flash the flashlight.."move on".they were usually smiling.. we'd move on to the next spot😂😄🥴😉
@@angrybastard7364 true..pull a lever and the seats would lay back.

This classic song has everything. Great singing, humor, drama, theatre, sex and baseball. RIP Meat Loaf your music gave me so much enjoyment from my late teens until today and will always bring the world musical pleasure!
This is better than bat out of hell. Pure theatre. I found him oddly attractive at 15
No kidding. As classics go, it will always be tied for first.
@Matthew Paul Well said!
Mostly baseball ☝️
A classic, great song, great album. What more can you say? I was born in 81 and I listen to this a lot. Better than anything today. RIP Meatloaf
meat loaf says 'hi'. i love that you do this. im a Romany and this man is talking in my Romany after death x
Always the best of our times. Never grows old. May the great magic musician rest in peace.
Bat Out of Hell, the entire album, is one of the most insane and nutty things ever committed to music. It's also one of the best.
Third best selling of all time right behind Thriller and Back In Black. Produced by the legendary Todd Rundgren and written by Jim Steinman two of the best in the business.
@@LowgaenSchmidt
Good music. Genius music
Believe it or not, I heard this album for the first time on an 8 track tape in around 1992 or so. When it was through playing, my buddy and I didn't know what we had just heard. It was everything you said and more.
@@LowgaenSchmidt 22f3🥰😀😶🥰😶😘😘😶😘😀😛😘
I had the "Bat Out of Hell" album on 8-track right after it came out! Still got the 8-track tape......but no 8-track player. Used to listen to that "brand new" tape while cruising in my "brand new" 1981 Camaro.
I'm still listening at 77 years old. Long live rock.
Vic Gallimore 70s were great for concerts. Saw lots of big bands Stones, Zepplelin, Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, The Who, Neil Young. Cool seeing girls having the hots for Long Hair Rock Stars. I nicknamed Mick Jagger ( A ROOSTER ON ACID ) cause of his crazy Dancing. Those concerts were crazy people so Drunk loud Music didnt wake them up.
U beautiful rockstar💜💜💜💜💜
Keep her lit vic fair play to u
You're never too old for great rock n roll!!!
You go girl
Listening to meat loaf, I'm 64, but feeling 25😂😊😊😊
68 felling 26..LOL
Right.
Right.
Meat Loaf: the rare straight man who truly understood camp.
Iam 67 and will always listen to him it has always amazed me he was a opera singer
Wow look at the tributes...this man meant a lot to a lot of people
Well Deserved For a Legend. A Such As He Is.
Soooo much talent from a very humble man. Screaming this one this morning with tears flowing. An icon whose legend will live on in the halls of music history forever. Heaven’s rockin’ this morning. ✌🏼
RIP Meat. Your talents, and personality, will be remembered.

STILL LISTENING AT ALMOST 77 YEARS OLD. Meatloaf deserved more fame and recognition than he achieved. The lyrics are really singular and his on stage acting is sheer brilliance. UNIQUE
This is part of the 4th most sold album of All time, It spent 522 weeks on the Top Charts.
What exactly do you want more for him?
@@TheDarkstormy alot of young people don't know this tbf im 29 and qlot of people don't like meatloaf like me
@@TheDarkstormy or know songs like this tbf only speaking from my own experiences
Meat Loaf*
Meatloaf was black balled by the music industry but he proved them wrong and sold millions of records. If I had any objections to his recordings it is they are a little too long, but they are like an opera. I didn't like the baseball commentary as it had no meaning for this recording. BTW-I'm over 77.
2023 and still better than almost everything on the radio today. RIP Meat.
Totally agree with you11111
Everything today is crap and fake. Takes 60 people to write garbage and lip sing.
You are not wrong, the majority of music now can't hold a candle to what I grew up with
This is such a cuckhold opinion
Sono totalmente d'accordo con te!
I watched a great documentary on Meat Loaf and he did not have it easy. He had to grind to make it then to fall and then rise again. Amazing story, great music and performance from someone who really worked extremely hard at his craft. His duo singers were also unbelievable and need a lot of credit too.
How can I find it
Rest in power Meat Loaf. You’ll be missed. Legend
He definitely will.
Can't believe he's gone...my dad took us to see him live when I was in 3rd grade...my first big live concert....Ill never ever forget it
who is meat loaf
RIP MEAT LOAF. I will miss you forever Michal Lee Aday❤😥
Well, he did spend his career 'praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive'
This is such a classic song, everyone can relate. This will be being playing in 100 years for sure. Rest in Peace Meatloaf.

+CZsWorld Except it isn't Vin Scully... it's Phil Rizzuto.

OMG. My Dad always told me it was Vin Scully and I believed it. They certainly sound similar.
So now that we've clarified it's not Vin Scully. Is that enough Vin Scully to _still have everything_ :P
+CZsWorld
Certainly a hell of a lot better than the so called music shit these days
+CZsWorld Its Phil Rizzuto (RIP), not Vin Scully. Rizzuto was the voice of the Yankees for years.
When i hear this song i'm 16/17 again as Meat Loaf says and i can relate in every way. The days and the nights in my hotrod Falcon chasing the grand prize, I want to go back. I'm nearly 62 now. Love this album.
It’s march 29th 2024 I’m 63 and feeling like the first time I ever heard this classic. Your body gets old but, your mind and soul doesn’t. 👍🏻
It's April 4th,2024 and I couldn't agree with you more! Those were the days,my friend!
I am 60 and i made people throw money at me in the 90s to this song! I was dancing to this song in the late 80s as a teenager! Still love it!!

This is not rock and roll, it is light opera. The libretto and music are brilliant and brilliantly interpreted. RIP Jim Steinman.

My wife and I met in high school and this was our fun song when we "hooked up". So before our first time she brought up this song and said "hey you have to love me for the rest of your life"......and of course I said yes. We loved the Bat out of Hell cassette. I still have it. We have been married for 38 years now and I still love her so much. Thanks for the fun songs that were part of our growing up Meatloaf. RIP
Great story Steve! Happy marriage to you and hope you continue to last another 38
You seem like a good dude, Steve. Congrats, and best wishes for another 38!

heard this song for the first time at 16 and became an instant fan. one of my favorite music videos ever.
35 years old and meat loaf makes me feel a different kind of happy ! My go to cheer up music ❤️
You, young person, have exceptional insight and class!. Keep rockin!
my favorite line is "I will love you till the end of time........So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive"....
Up
I played the hell out of "praying for the end of time" when I was divorcing my ex ages ago. 🤣🤣🤣
Favorite line: So now I'm praying for the end of time, so hurry up and arrive.

One of the greatest songs ever given to us. Dude was a hell of a showman. RIP.
Comment on Meat Loaf _ Paradise By The Dashboard Light Rock Music it was good
Masterpiece!
Coming up on 50 years since this came out. Time flies way too fast for having to live through each second of it.
45 years old song and still solid gold. RIP MEATLOAF

@@jeremyparker7569 what-so he had his right name in fight club?

The best ones are taken too soon.
"So now I'm praying for the end of time" I have heard it a thousand times and I still laugh at that part of the song!!
You and me both!!!! It really is a great ending to a masterpiece!
Hell yeah
This song is HILARIOUS when you pay attention to the lyrics.
The older we get, the more it makes sense.
That is exactly what I did just now. Watched it a second time and still laughed.
When I was really young and we played cassettes in cars, my dad listened to Meatloaf's Greatest Hits. It wasn't until adulthood that it occurred to me that I probably should not have liked this song so much when I was single digits.
My mum always said she wanted this song played at her funeral....so that's what we did. In the car on her way to the graveyard...volume 11. RIP mum
Casper Vanelli My condolences to you and your family
Great mum! May she RIP
Dude, your mum rocked!!
It was my wedding song lol
Haha, everyone would have been digging it at the wedding until it got to the end and they all would've been like 'oh'
I still know every single word, every note! One of the greatest songs ever and pretty much sums up every high-school relationship, paradise by the dashboard lights♥️
Same here Brought me back and I can't stop listening and I never will! Blessed to have been part of that lifetime Peace to Meatloaf 💝
Yes ma'am
Me too!! I'm 65
'captivating and so intimate!'
Just found out he passed away, so sad. Rest In Peace ❤️
My neighbors love meatloaf
this is a masterpiece.
The term "masterpiece" gets thrown around on YT way to much.
However, it certainly does apply in this case.
Truth. It will never be equaled
Such a fantastic song that takes me back to my youth... a true lyrical masterpiece. "Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed, we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed"... what a line! One of my top 10 favorite pieces of music. RIP Meat Loaf...

It's called old age and not taking care of yourself. He was overweight most of his life and it's a miracle that he lived to be in his 70's. 🤷♀️🙁
@@raechelyndawn2580 In his particular case it's very likely called covid. He was a big anti-vaxxer in the last year :(
@@AllenKnutson According to TMZ it was complications due to Covid. But that last part of your statement is wrong. He wasn't anti-vaxxer as far we know - he was anti-quarantine, anti-mask, anti-controlling-government. The thing that folks don't seem to realize that catching Covid is 99.5% survivable. That 0.5% is due to people having serious background health issues. And Meat has some health issues - overweight and asthma to name a couple. The asthma caused him to cancel some shows a while back.
RIP - gonna miss him but we have his music to remember him.
@@AllenKnutson no he was not just let the man RIP.

Oh yes
It's an outstanding production. Perfect.

It's actually a music video. Lip synching. Ellen Foley sang on the record with Karla DeVito on tour.
@@keithday537 I'm still extremely grateful it was filmed and put together at all!!!
This entire album was played by my dad at home and in the car so much that I had it memorized, even the baseball announcer. I'm crying because he brought so much fun to my family, dancing with my dad and my cousin, sitting around drinking a few beers when I was old enough. My dad passed in '95 and my dear cousin Oct 1, 2021.. Meat Loaf is an icon and always will be. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories and music! I pay for peace for your family and friends during their loss and grief.
Lovely tribute ❤️
Beautiful Words! ❤
I absolutely love this song the build up the performance and Meat makes me laugh out loud at end. Love it xx
This song reminds me of a music theory seminar on classical music that I attended in college. The prof talked about how in symphonic music the composer will introduce a theme (like "Will you love me forever") and expand on it, then introduce a counter theme and expand that one (like "Let me sleep on it"), and then next blend the two musical themes into a new complex movement. Finally the symphony will bring out a synthesis of the two in the final movement (as with "Praying for the end of time"), usually harkening back to the introductory movement ("Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife") to complete the circle.
This song really is perfect in every sense of the word. Not to mention how tone perfect and precisely executed the music and background vocals were. Jim Steinman deserves to stand next to Mozart in history for this and Bat Out of Hell.
He taught us the consequences of hasty choices made in the heat of the moment. Thank you Meatloaf. You will be missed.
I watched this video just 3 nights ago and marveled at the choreography and the intensity. Amazing Performance! We are all getting older and losing our icons one by one. God Bless Meatloaf!
It sucks so bad
Proper use of the word intensity. Difines his music.
I was just thinking that. 77-80. Prom, Homecoming songs. Great memories. I remember him on Trumps show. I forgot the name.
@@christinefalsetto62 Trump, as in the former President? That would be “The Apprentice.”
We’ve lost so many icons in such a short time: Betty White, Ronnie Spector, Sydney Portier, Bob Saget, and now Meat Loaf.
The last 1 1/2 minutes of this song is just awesome, from 6:58 to the end. The VERY BEST of this fantastic song! It always makes me laugh! R.i.P Meatloaf!❤
More kids should see this. It's a genius interpretation of a common adolescent situation.
There is no other song than THIS ONE that's more imprinted on my soul. This song. This MASTERPIECE 🦇✨
@@Jabbing_Jack yes!saying RIP Meatloaf is not helping our country, Meatloaf should've stayed here.
Nobody cares
@@drewc4414 demonstrably false, but you rilly did something huh 😂🤘✨😝
This was not only great music, but pure performance art. Props to Ellen Foley for her vocals, as well as Karla DeVito for this performance onstage. Meat will be remembered for a long, long time for all the great music.
I heard this several times that Ellen Foley is singing while Karla DeVito is so superb on stage - this make be sure, but for me is this unbelievable.
@@vb917 Yep, Karla is lip syncing to Ellens vocals for the video. Ellen didn't want to go on tour even though she did vocals on many of the songs on Bat Out of Hell.
@@Blazer02LS Thank you for your answer !
Thank you for the names.
Both women are very, very good. This is absolutely performance art.
Wow they really acted that whole thing out on stage while singing. Todays bands would never go this far
GREAT LYRICS!!!!
Let Me Sleep on It Lyrics
Boy:
I remember every little thing. As if it happened only yesterday. Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight. And I never had a girl looking any better than you did. And all the kids at school. They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight. It never felt so good, it never felt so right. And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife. And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife. C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night. I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it. We were doubly blessed. Cause we were barely seventeen. And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it. Baby got to go and shout it. Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed Baby doncha hear my heart You got it drowning out the radio I've been waiting so long For you to come along and have some fun And I gotta let ya know No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise It'll feel all right Well I wanna make your motor run And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Paradise by the dashboard light You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely-- We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go allt he way An tonight's the night...
Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch-- he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-- safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
Down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, there's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
Girl:
Stop right there! I gotta know right now! Before we go any further! Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? Do you love me!? Will you love me forever!? Do you need me!? Will you never leave me!? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now Before we go any further Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it I'll give you my answer in the morning Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it
I'll give you my answer in the morning
Girl:
I gotta know right now! Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further Do you love me? And will you love me forever?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning Let me sleep on it!!!
Girl:
Will you love me forever?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!!
Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!
Praying for the End of Time
Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time To hurry up and arrive Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today
Girl:
It never felt so good It never felt so right And we were glowing like A metal on the edge of a knife
No one else has ever glowed like the metal on the edge of a knife
One of the best songs and performances of all time. RIP Meatloaf. Thanks
In the late 80's, my friends and I had a party. We lined up, boys on one side and girls on the other and sang this song. It was so much fun! If it happened now, it would be immortalized on social media, but that night only exists now in my mind and the minds of anyone else who was sober enough to remember it.
Decades after it was released, it’s still a pleasure to watch and listen to. It never gets old.
Totally agree!! Haven't listened to this in ages. So glad I decided to listen.
@@natalierampone9750 👍🏻😂
,miss the gentle giant and jim Steinman. Making music in heaven w Jerry. Janice. Jimmy and Morrison imagine that music. I hear it
Not a fan, just curious to know who the guy way. Crazy thing is, I noticed I know a lot of women that look like meat loaf. Like, just like him!
Mm my muk
One of best from the 70s! He may be gone from earth but his music will live on for all eternity! Thank you, Meatloaf for being a part of my young life💥🙌👊🙏🙏🙏🎸🎙
Who shed a tear when the news came on today? Meatloaf and Louie..Betty & Bob...Heaven can wait....well they are laughing tonight..

Amen!! Ditto!
@@Dani-ICU-RN I'm crying now. 🙏❤
Just heard Meat Loaf passed away. So sad. Brings back so many memories. He was one of the most theatrical and talented singers ever. So original. SOAR HIGH MEAT.
He’s been waiting on this day to arrive
This was shown on TV here in the UK back in the late 70's or early 80's. I thought the music and composition was excellent, but the actual performance was absolutely superb, it blew me away then, and still did just now. The way they interacted and were singing different lyrics to each other was unbelievable.
2023 and still a great song and band that travels down the generation line!
RIP Jim Steinman, the composer/lyricist of the greatest Rock and Roll song of all time.
What happened.?
@@christinedombrosky5635 Jim Steinman passed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Steinman
My mother showed me this song as a child and first thing I asked is this man a Rockstar and she just laughed at me
@Dale B rock n roll stretches farther bud
@Dale B OK GRAMPS
Are you aware of the existence of things not 90 fucking years old?
I remember when this song came out. An immediate classic! RIP Meatloaf.
RIP LOAF_ the world is worse off for your absence. Grateful I got to see you Live once-hell of a performer...
I'm envious you got to see him live!
I bet many of us experienced almost the same process one night in our car near our darling.... those were the good old days.... this song makes me smile every time...
Back seat of the car at drive ins and out in the country... I accidently lied to so many gurls.
I genuinely feel bad for every & anyone who didn't get to experience the pure joy when this masterpiece came out. The only experience comparable, for me, is when Bohemian Rhapsody was released. It's completely different than 'hearing it for the first time'. There was nothing like these songs out there then.
I had the pleasure of seeing Meat in concert in 1999. He was getting up there, sure, but he still put on a great show!
And now, 24 years later, I'm going to see Queen + Adam Lambert - again in Chicago - on Halloween. And oh, how I'm looking forward to it!
Sitting at work listening to paradise by the dashboard light and crying is not how I expect to end my day.
I feel that :(
sitting....I've been dancing all the way....
In 1977, when this came out i was 17...and I was surely blessed.
You and me both my friend.....
@@jameswagoner3309 I was 17, too. Still have the original album. Screaming this one to the heavens this morning. ✌🏼
RIP Meatloaf. You were the soundtrack to our lives. “We’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife” “we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed” “ I wanna make your motor run” “Will you love me forever?” “Baby baby let me sleep on it. I’ll give you an answer in the morning” “ I swore I would love you til the end of time.” “ Now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive” “”cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can Really survive. I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow but God only knows what I can do right now. ““I’m praying for the end of time so that I can end my time with you”
“It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today”
An ode to youthful passion. Thank you, Meatloaf.
Soundtrack to my mid-teens
