Original 1981 version of Meat Loaf's early 90's cover version. Intended, since its creation, to be part of the "Bat Out of Hell" album follow up, Bad for Good, it was finally recorded by Steinman (all the album), tired of waiting for Loaf to recover from vocal problems.
The song was entitled "SUEÑOS DE UN BAILARÍN" (Dreams of a dancer) in Costa Rica, which is a very literal reference of what we see in the video.
Thanks to Nelson Hoffman and his program Hola Juventud.
me pregunto quien sera lo suficientemente ignorante como para traducir el nombre de esta gran cacion a "sueños de un bailarin"? hay que ser muy ignorante del ingles y de la traduccion o ser muy idiota!

What's great about this song are the background singers! The song just builds and builds until the background singers become the lead for a while. Beautiful! Jack

Good version, though I still prefer Meat Loaf's. Steinman's voice just isn't powerful enough to give it the proper edge. He is a great songwriter though...he and Meat (Mr. Loaf??) made a great team. Much like Elton John and Bernie Taupin...Bernie isn't a singer and if you've ever heard Elton's stuff w/o Bernie, you appreciate what a great songwriter he is.

I much prefer the arrangement on Jim's 1981 version to the one Meat Loaf did in 1993, but I prefer MLA's singing (obviously). Actually, the same goes for all of the songs on "Bad for Good", which is, vocals aside (and I actually like Jim Steinman's voice), better than anything Meat Loaf has done since, including Bat out of Hell II.

Jim is a fantastic writer but Meatloaf is THE only one who can live his music
