Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light

[XxJamesLegendxX]

( I'm 13 now ) When I was like 2, my dad would listen to this song so much. I just searched it up now, and it brought back memories n stuff :)

[janavable]

MY song to a Man I will always LOVE!

[LyssaAnn91]

Meat Loaf will always musically be a part of me! Especially this song! :)

[sdriscoll1992]

Me and my mom used to jam to this

[motherfuckingradical]

this is like me and my mom's bonding song, idk why but this song will always remind me of my mom.

[chelseababelush]

love it!!! <33 

[dissaid]

For some reason it got it into my head...wth?

[emmymeg223]

I imagined my first time as this song portrayed it. Might be only 18, but I've been a fan of Meatloaf since I was 8 months old. Mom used to put me to sleep listening to it. :)

[calendor01]

meatloaf invented porn music

[rreeves70]

@calendor01 Meatloaf invented porn music??? I think that started long before Meatloaf came along...

[YoyWontGetME]

I still think he's really grooooose!!!!

but I really like the song!

[lotsabullies]

Wow all the young folks lamenting about this song. My memory of this tune is playing it in an 8-track through an unbelievable 45 watts of mind-blowing 2 channel stereo. Seriously if you are young (under 45) and loving this, just go with it.

[tomgreg2008]

Funny song. Who's the chick?

[eggy1962]

@tomgreg2008 if i remember rightly from album sleeve....ellen foley... but not 100%

[lordagamus]

@tomgreg2008 The woman in the video is Karla DeVito. She's lip syncing Ellen Foley's part.

[CarolynedOliveira]

Oh and by the way, Nowadays no one can make a great, a perfect musical production like this! Meatloaf <3

[CarolynedOliveira]

I'm portuguese and I'm 18 years old and I feel ashamed, like SilverDog237 said, to be a part of this generation, they (young people) don't know meatloaf, they don't know a single music and they think that this kind of music is old people's music, I feel really ashamed.

[poontang188]

How many young people today can remember parking "down by the lake" back-in-the-day and actually LIVING the lyrics to this song?..........

[GlambertGirl1]

I admit even though I knew of him I didn't really know his music but last night I saw the movie based on his life and I recognized a lot of songs, I just hadn't known they were his. I love his music!

[rhomiberry]

this was the first 8 track i ever owned...memorized every word...it was more like an opera then an album....

[SteveKnnn]

One if the best songs of all time!

[klutch20]

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

[MclovinGee13]

lov this song, fuck all the worthless assholes that dont like it..why are u watchin anyway..FUCK YOU ALL!!!!!!!

[BieberFeverTV1074]

I would never ask the guyi was losing my virginity to to marry me and be with me forever cuz like the song says we would prob kill eachother

[Moanymoore]

Paused at 1:31, sure made me laugh.

[dannyd1572]

Drugged up, coked out slob singing one of the most annoying songs of all time. I do like Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad.

[MclovinGee13]

@dannyd1572 coked up is the best way to be danny boy...and the only annyoing thing here is you

[whedbeec]

Who else thinks Jack Black tries to be like Meat Loaf?

[snsnn1234]

who can sing this song at karoake i cant

[snsnn1234]

why are you listening to it then

[snsnn1234]

whats the problem punks

[SuBSoniCSykO]

Q: WHAT HAPPENED TO MEATLOAF?

A: iT WENT BAD, MOM THREW IT AWAY!

[bowsfan1]

great song. saw the video when i was strictly into metal music. amazing lyrics, outstanding voices and stage presence. too much hating in the comments. just enjoy.

[ChrisTheChronic]

@SonicPro96 thumb whore

[nonameavailableuser]

The artist is so full of his own ego he has to brag about fucking a girl in school. Big freaking deal lol. It's still a good song musically in some ways.

[lostlink69]

@nonameavailableuser

I guess you would have to be in High School in the late 70's and own a 57 Chevy to really appreciate this tune. Maybe ask your gramps about it. BTW this video is from the 1980"s and eventhough Karla DiVito did not do the album track, she's did the video quite kewl.

[cabcitytow]

@nonameavailableuser ;i reckon your still in school

[stat3vil3]

....placeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

[SilverDog237]

Not a single person in my math class knows meatloaf.

I can't help but feel ashamed to be a part of this generation.

[MclovinGee13]

@SilverDog237 fuck them assholes!! u shouldnt be ashamed..its not like u can turn back the clock

[MTD45]

whitch generation?The meatloaf geeration or the generation that doesnt know Meatloaf,Im hoping that youre talking about the generation that doesnt know who meatloaf Is.lf you crank this tune up in front of someone that dont know meatloaf they will never forget him..lol

[9sommo]

meat loaf is great but dont forget the writer of these masterpieses..

[shanpas]

Love the song love the video God Bless a classic

[ChrisTheChronic]

7:31 fucking epic!!

[f100sCUSTOMSCLASSICS]

Ain't no body got a set o' pipes quite like the Meatster!

[Cerebralcinema]

Bat Out Of Hell: 5th best selling album of all time @43 million copies. Also the top selling American artist in the UK. 'Nuff said.

[duckkillerclydeclyde]

It is really fun to sing this karaoke

[mariofizz13]

this is one of those times where 8 minutes feels like 3

[BieberFeverTV1074]

I love this song i use to blast it in the car when i was 14 when me and my boyfriend were driving in his car ahhhh good times (even though it was only 2 years ago lol)

[GreenGoSolar]

[TheSRalston]

Ha haaa, love Meatloaf´s faces at 6:03! "Damn, what did I get into?...oh what the hell, 'till the end of time"..

[TheSRalston]

Is that karla Di Vito in the video? What an entertaining song!! Pure teen angst, lol.

[ditttch]

great song, and she is one fine looking woman, damn

[MrKirkbrunner]

I love this song. My daughter's and I did this at my oldest daughter's talent show, and won big time. I played him and my youngest did "backup" and my oldest played Patti. I'm glad my kids appreciate the BEST music...but making it fun like that and laughing our butts off gave them good memories to good music. They love Meatloaf to this day.

[MissAugust1999]

I will ALWAYS love Meatloaf&especially this song...lol,I coincedentally lost my virginity to this song when I was 15...&didn't make the poor guy marry me,hehehe...just love Meatloaf&have told this to Vince Neil&Tracii guns when I dated them-even they agree he's a LEGEND! So he has the respect of other rockstars as well as millions of people like us...haters can go listen to their awful cRap&Justin Beiber/Michael Buble,etc.-pfft.

[SunnyOak95]

This is one of my wife's and my favorites, Meat Loaf is a rock legend....

[MissAugust1999]

@SunnyOak95 YEAH!! Agreed 100%-xxx

[cabcitytow]

master class look and learn;

[cabcitytow]

master class

[smoothpipes54]

Lots of good rock and roll out there...but this one has to be in my top ten. Not so much the lyrics, but the music iteself and the energy put into it's performance. Was always a great dance tune late in the evening at our fraternity...along with some fun girls of various sororities....along with them joining in for the ladies part!!! Good times...

[MissAugust1999]

@smoothpipes54 I have amazing memories of this one as well...hehe,lost my virginity as it played in the background when I was 15;difference is that I didn't make him''STOP RIGHT THERE!!!''or marry me,haa! That's awesome that you used to sing this@yr.frat house w/chicks joining in for the girls parts-love that! Isn't it cool how so many ppl.of a certain age/generation all know every word to this classic and fabulicious song?-xxx

[janeM1987]

Love this one!!

[mowntainmancr]

I was in this exact situation in 1987, I said "I love you".

What the hell?

What else was I gonna say?

[MissAugust1999]

@mowntainmancr Haahaahaaa-awesome. I was,too...but didn't force him to say that or marry me,lol...glad I didn't,as girls can end up miserably married as well!

[Maoz52]

My god! I haven't heard this song in ages! It throws me back to a time in Amsterdam, just when Meatloaf was huge! What a great - GREAT! - performance!!!

[kja427]

The dumbfuck should have brought condoms with him that night; That would've solved a lot of problems for him. Some people's kids!

[RadicalEd666]

gotta love it what a performance!!!

[Flynnja]

This is one of the best performances I have ever seen. Flat out.

[stephandmike135]

MTV killed music. You didn't have to 'look good' to be a Star, and that's why music sucks today.

[omgnumbersandletters]

@stephandmike135 that's not true, Lady Gaga looks like a horse when you take her makeup off

[ChrisTheChronic]

@omgnumbersandletters but....her music sucks......

[70Pratt]

@stephandmike135 Agreed.... Still an absolute classic... Bravo!

[luvinevryminitofit88]

62 people have never done it......by the dashboard light.

[Megapitbull100]

@luvinevryminitofit88 you dont have to not done it by dashboard light to not like it im 15 and havnt and I like it :)

[raycity1234]

This song is so true seen it many times in real life

[Ashie2693]

I love the whole "oh shit" face when shes asking if he loves and and if he will love her forever?

[ChrisNukemYJ]

To all you who make fun of Meatloafs looks check this out

1- He is a rock star so he got more pussy then you could imagine

2- he laughed his way all the way to the bank

3- He is a musical master

3 things You little punks will never achieve. Go listen to your cRap and we will continue to listen to true music and Meatloaf and the rest of us will forever be better then you.

[MissAugust1999]

@ChrisNukemYJ GREAT comeback...haahaahaahaa!!! That's right-tell'em,those cRap listenin'jackasses w/no taste&their retarded jeans hanging down around their knees...<3 to you!!-xxx&Meatloaf DOES so rock...:D

[AXELROSE037]

@ChrisNukemYJ  I completley agree with you sir very well said !

[bradhoibak]

@ChrisNukemYJ LMAO I love you just for that comment! So very true!

[SamuraiZach0]

@ChrisNukemYJ Rap is fine too, all genres have good and bad, no point to disregard an entire genre because of ONE song you found unattractive. It would be like me saying fuck country because I don't like Dolly Parton. Makes little sense to me.

[ChrisNukemYJ]

@SamuraiZach0 Who said my opinion is based on 1 song? Don't assume things cuz it make an ass outta you. Rapper do nothing but help promote violence, drug use and thing of the sort. You don't see that poor car someone ruined by making it a lowrider blasting Dolly Parton while they are doing a drive by.

And since when did it become cool to be a gangster. The real mobsters never aspired to be the gangster they wanted to be the guy controlling the gangster.

[morrisd9]

@ChrisNukemYJ

I liked your 'top comment', but now you're just acting like ass.

And since when do you give a fuck about how someone wears their pants or messes with their car?

And you clearly are talking out of your ass when it comes to rap. I can say this with absolute certainty, because your statement about violence/drug use is simply wrong.

Stereotyping an entire genre/culture/etc is simply a way of trying to fool yourself into believing that you actualy know something.

MEATLOAF! WOOOO

[lilseena]

@ChrisNukemYJ Kinda sad you just think of typical stereotypes when you think of a certain type of music. And not all rap is about drugs/violence. You only think of mainstream rap. Other genres of music have also themes like drugs/violence. Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean it is the truth. You talk about respecting Meat Loaf. Well, maybe you should start by respecting other people and their opinions. Good day, sir!

[ChrisNukemYJ]

@SamuraiZach0 And pull your damn pants up. You look like a penguin that shit himself.

[SamuraiZach0]

@ChrisNukemYJ Lol, you should relax; no point getting all worked up over something I said. Perhaps my point flew over your head, that is fine, but as I said don't disregard an entire genre because of an artist you heard promoting drugs, sex and all that, there are plenty of hip hop artists out there who don't ever mention that kind of stuff. Have a nice day.

[yourname50]

@ChrisNukemYJ

I'M BETTER THEN U BECAUSE I LISTEN TOO DIFFERENT MUSIC. WOOOOO

[ChrisNukemYJ]

@yourname50 And I bet you think your cool also because you use cap locks.

[yourname50]

@ChrisNukemYJ No, but I do feel cool when we listen to Puddle of Mudd and jack each other off.

[slimshady5556]

@yourname50 shut the fuck up you little ignorant kidd you know nothen about true music go listen to 2pac faggot

[ozwolf01]

@ChrisNukemYJ Personally I love listening to Meatloaf, but u made a couple errors:

1- He was married for over 20 years

2-He's been bankrupt at least twice

3-Jim Steinman writes most of his music

[gloversmyname]

@ozwolf01 lol...i still like chrisnukems "point" . MeatLoaf is awesome.

[KingOfZilla]

@ChrisNukemYJ While I agree with you in some aspects, (espessally the 3 reasons) I don't think that he was a genius some much as he was an amazing vocolist. (As I understand it, and I think I might be wrong, he didn't write most of his songs, which to me, makes someone a true musical genius like Buddy Holly and The Beatles.) Also It seems kind of unfare to simply say that rap (as much as I don't like it.) isn't true music. True music is something that speaks to you or truely enjoy.

[ChrisTheChronic]

@KingOfZilla Meatloaf farted 3 times and rolled over on his bed made of hundred dollar notes while you wrote that comment.

[KingOfZilla]

@ChrisTheChronic I don't fallow. what are you saying?

[Yeoviltownfan1895]

@ChrisNukemYJ try spelling things right. its Meat Loaf NOT one word

[VerhelstAnne]

i'm 17 years old and this is the song I grew up to!! I thank my daddy for raising me musically right. I still ADORE this song

[ammcria]

yeeeeeessssss!!!!

[captinbunt]

epic



[chisaoboy]

If you don't like this classic tune, go listen to your loser C(rap) music that's probably overflowing on your mp3 player.

[Iced1992]

@chisaoboy Stop inviting trolls.

[chisaoboy]

What a killer, classic tune!

[carlangas11sdg]

He is Falete

if you don't know who is falete search in google images :D

[789it789]

You know a song is good if it's 8minutes long and it only feels like 2minutes.

[prlhrbrkid]

Let me sleep on it!!!

[hanzyryder911]

I LOVE YOU MEAT!!! <3<3

[smoothpipes54]

@hanzyryder911 That's what she said....  :)))

[Misstiny98]

he looks as my earthteacherXD

[catbug666]

is this grunge?.....

[zZSiiKSh0tzZ]

What i dont get is, if you dislike the video, why listen to it in the first place. Dicks...This guy is one of the best, if not the best artists of all time!

[GypsyLeah]

@zZSiiKSh0tzZ How do you know whether you like it or not until you've watched it?

[samara147able]

@zZSiiKSh0tzZ So fuckin' agree, Adore it, who needs today's shite when we have this !

[Hrollief1]

61 People can suck Meat's dick!

[iRelinquiish]

@Hrollief1 Like the chick in this song ;)

[Hrollief1]

@iRelinquiish Exactly!

[dolphin7ish]

Where is the time that i was young

[80sjamming]

This is one of the most mesmerizingly attractive women I've seen in forever. She's got that "it" factor.

[mussy000]

he looks like andrew the giant, also she is hot :)

[LiLTylerSkates]

what is her name

[gunnermorph01]

@LiLTylerSkates Karla DeVito,she is the one in the video ...but it is sang by Ellen Foley

[EmoMessup]

omgbdfsjbdfjhbsbd



[PurpleCloud619]

So much energy and passion!

[enginedog]

he's a big fat dynamo

[IrishAmerican1234]

wow... iv been listening to this song over and over for years without knowing who wrote the song, what they looked like, and to be honest.... im surprised

[radiottv]

gaaf

[beautifulawa]

Man...... what a great live performance! Doubt many bands/performers can sing live & sound great at the same time! Epic stuff Meat! Wish I was sitting there watching & listening to this great performance but I was just a little baby....

[bruiseraa]

@beautifulawa It's not live. It's lip sync. The kozmik1000 Video Response is a live performance at Old Grey Whistle Test..

[SuperCaz68]

fantastic timeless good solid rock and roll loved him then love him now

[tuckers02]

59 people tripped on the way to first base.

[xxhatedgexx]

Somebody please build a time machine...

[manphelan]

his name is robert paulson

[vadimzewf]

I knew that Soeur. After DeVito, it was Russo and now Miller Vincent. Great s**t.

[jemappellesoeur]

did you know that Carla did not do the original recording of this song with meatloaf? it was Ellen Foley. she landed a tv role on "night court" and could not do the tour right after the album came out.

[vadimzewf]

Meat was the BEST. Classic 70's rock! Can feel the beat down to my toes!!!!!

[michaelseahawks]

Meatloaf 2012

[Rockheart9]

Look...Great music doesn't always come from skinny & plastic...

[eehermit]

Point of fact Jim Steinman did not write all of Mr. Loaf's (Oday) music. I agree he is a great vocalist that will talked about in five hundred years, assuming we still listen to music, A front man with his appearance still popular after 30+ years proves the point. Now lets all shut up and not miss the heavenly glory.

[rickinnev]

One of the all Time American Classics..fantastic artistic work here..

[aprillouisebrown]

59 people accidently hit what they saw on the dashboard.

[luvinevryminitofit88]

Holy Sheeite!!!..Don't get betteer than this boys!!

[Pr0fessorScience]

P.S. BEST rock vocalist EVER, matched only by Roger Daltrey. And Townshend wrote everything Daltrey sang. Meatloaf did this himself. Mind-blowing.

[DoggBisket]

@Pr0fessorScience Actually it was Jim Steinman who wrote all of the Meatloaf songs.

[Pr0fessorScience]

OMG THANK YOU for putting this up! I owned the tape of this concert for so long, but it got damaged before I could transfer to DVD -_- This is literally what my 5 year old self used to sing and dance to. <3

[fletcherii]

I was in bootcamp, San Diego when this hit the waves. Same month that Pan Am went down right by us. Only flight my step MOM ever missed in well over a decade. Lise, My Sister was there when my Dad hear fher voice/ Two tours in Vietnam as Leader of S.E.A.L. Team 1 and that wasa nothing compared to all of us thinging she was dead. THere were no survivors. hey didn't mean to bum anyone out, rock on, I'm not bummed :P

[mjgills]

I may only be 16, but this song is still one of my favourites! It isjust amazing!

[LawlThomas]

59 people wished they were him that night :3

[CSXer]

It's really amazing this guy had a hard time getting a record deal signed.

[politicoochie09]

I'm so thankful that, way back when, I had lots of those PBTDBL moments! AND this was one of the songs on the radio at the time!

[nibbler66]

59 people have serious memory loss.

[lindash64]

Love this! What memories it brings back!

[redhed6971]

If there is one song that defines teenage human sexuality for all time, yea ,baby, this is it.

[thisismark1]

GREAT SONG GREAT VIDEO

[oicuraqt]

Hottest video ever!  Terrific.

[yellow2000fluff]

Big fat sweaty cunt!!! that is shite!!! what is it with the stupid faces he pulls? The big wide eyed thing?

[fubukifangirl]

@yellow2000fluff Who cares what he looks like? He's an awesome artist!

[prlhrbrkid]

@fubukifangirl I agree with @yellow2000fluff, talent always rules!!

[yellow2000fluff]

Big fat sweaty cunt!!! that is shite!!!

[yellow2000fluff]

Big fat sweaty cunt!!!

[GRAW2ROBZ]

Damn she's pretty.

[Raapzaad]

@GRAW2ROBZ She is only lipsyncing because they found the orginal singer too ugly.

[MegaBenjimen]

[retsevlyslegyn]

nice tits to boot ;)

[Ott1942]

Ilove this song meat loaf is the Greaties. I'm 69 yrs. old and still love him and his music.

[mikecobrown]

veary bad!!!

[surentime]

I think Jack Black owes a lot to Meatloaf.

[dirtymonkey1969]

@surentime Me too! But let's also give Jack Black a lot of credit for being a great performer in his own right! Together he and Kyle Gas make up one of the greatest heavy metal/ rock duos in music history: Tenacious "D"! Long may they reign!

[ufofan1980]

@surentime Every teenager who lost their virginity in the back seat of their Mom's station wagon can thank Meat Loaf for helping them " go all the way tonight ".

[superblahmanofdoom]

@surentime Duh
